ONLY ONE MILLER
OUT OF THE He: FOLD
Magnate Kelley Arranges for 9
Practice Game with Chi
cago Whitesox.
BY O'Louahlin.

Aside from lively interest in the
scrap Of the American association mag
mates, Minneapolis fans have had little
baseball upon which to feed since the
first Of the year. & .Presi dent Kelley has
taken over the control r. Of the club
without blare Of trumpets, but is put
ting in his full time at the baseball
office, in preparation for the season.
All Of the Minneapolis regular play
ers are now under contract save Forrest
Thomas, commonly known as Frosty. "
Thomas was turned back to Minneap-
oils by Detroit, and last season his sal
airy remained at the figure set by
Detroit at the time Of the transfer.
This year the local manager sent
Thomas a. contract calling for a less
figure than he received last year.
Frosty is bucking and has not signed
the document. Some of his friends
say that the Missouri twirler will 90
right on teaching school rather than
sign at the figure offered.
Thomas is unfortunate In his con-
tention for a big league SALARY in a
lesser league, especially SO when his
"dope' Of 1905 is at hand. "Frosty''
was eighty-fve times at bat, made six
teen hits, two of which were three-bag-
gers. He made three sacrifice hits and
did not steal base. At fielding he
scored four put-outs, ffty-eight assists,
and three errors, finishing in the seven
teenth position in the pitchers fielding
standing. In the games in which he
worked he won twelve and lost eleven.
While Thomas was always a willing
worker he was not at his best last year
and did not do so well as the year be-
FORE D These facts make it rather hard
for him to make a productive talk to
Kelley on the salary question.
Manager Kelley is still on the hunt
to brace up the catching end Of the
game and has not disclosed his plans
for the one weak spot in the team
Kelley does not believe in uncorking
contracts until they have been "signed
sealed and delivered,' but is after
men who will take good care Of the
backstop work. u" =. - 49,.

what changed. Instead Of reporting
at Burlington on March "a, as was
originally intended, the players will
gather at Burlington on March 25, an6

Few if any changes will be made a
Nicollet park in the stand arrangement
this year. The club contractor ha
been looking over the structure for tn,
necessary repairs, but little is expecte;
in the way Of building. The leas,
upon Minnehaha has been renewed, bu
as new stand was built there las

Cedar Rapids played splendid game
and their height was tremendous ad-
vantage. The speed of the Shattuck
players, however, and their perfect
team work and accurate shooting of
baskets proved a. better factor. The
guarding of, Musselman and Schuster
broke up the plays of the visitors, and
they were unable to make but few
points, except from foul throws, thru
out the first half, which ended II to 5
for Shattuck.
Cedar Rapids opened the second half

schommers a Star.

Schommers, the man who has earned
reputation as the best center in the
country, came to the rescue during the
second half and the Chicago quintette,
amid the groans Of gopher rooters, shot
basket after basket, until the score was
eighteen to seventeen in favor of the
gophers, and undergraduate enthusiasts
began to predict a defeat for the
gopher team.
AT this point Gar Brown took the
place of Uzzell at forward, and justify
ing the faith of the sideliners, the
gopher veteran cinched the game by
shooting a difficult basket on a perfect
pass by Captain McRae. After this

HOW THEY STAND.
BY L. l.. Collins.

Minnesota, with Garfield Brown in
the play during the last part Of the Sec
ond half, defeated the Chicago basket
ball team on the university armory floor
last night, and is tied with the badger
quintet for the championship of the
west.
The game was the best ever seen on
the local floor, and the brace taken by
the Chicago teaem with the score 10 to
s against them at the end Of the first
period Of play was one Of the pluckiest
exhibitions Of basketball staying pow
er local enthusiasts have had an oppor-
tunity Of seeing.
During the first period of play the
chances Of the Minnesota team seemed
bright, and with lead Of ten points
the gopher team looked like sure win
ner. Chicago, however, showed the
never give-up spirit, and encouraged by
Schommers, without doubt the best cen
ter in tho west, the maroons started a
series Of clever evolutions that lasted
until the whistle blew at the end o.
the game, and gave them twelve points
during the second period Of play
against five for their gopher opponents.

Amid the cheers Of the spectators he
entered the game and shot the basket
which gave Minnesota total Of TWEEN

Immediately after an out-of-bounds de-
cision in which Captain McRae secured
the ball, was the bright feature Of the
game and "Gar' Brown, who will com

idol Of Minnesota rooters last night.
During the first period Of play Min
neseta showed team work Of marvellous
order. Passing the ball accurately
and with great speed, the maroon play
ers seemed unable to Withstand the
clever play Of the Minnesota players
and with little difficulty Captain Nc
Rae's warriors piled up score Of
fifteen points against five for the op
kponents. The play of the Larson
brothers and Captain McRae during
this period merited the applause of thu
gallery spectators and at the close o.
the first period Of hostilities the gophe,
rooters looked for a walkaway.

THE HABIT is FIXED.

The regatta Is a thing Of the past
II has added it, lustre Of success to the
long record innuring to this city dur
ing the dozen seasons that are gone,
and has cemented the regatta habit
upon Astoria. This pleasant festival
is one of the things she is known by,
now, and it will be eagerly looked for
each succeeding season The regatta
i a good thing and its recurrence reg
ularly is to be encouraged It contrib
utes to the knowledge Of the outside
world that Astoria is a live and ener-
getic place and one worth coming to,
for business, or pleasure, or both COM
hined. It is none too soon to begin
thinking up the alluring features of the
1907 water carnival. The regatta just
closed is the more commendable for the
reason that the city has been under ex-
traordinary stress of public contribu'
ton during 1905 and the big engage
ment came with some severity upon the
high-spirited citizens who made it pos
sible.

WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN.

It is no task at all to realize that
the arch.leader of the national democ-
racy is strong clean, wholesome fac
tor in the near destinies of the nation
We accord TO him the real prestige he
has won and maintained, in the life and
thought OF the people at large, and
count him as something to be dealt with
a vivid strenuous. battling entity, Of
resouIce and power. and honorable in
spiration. But right there we stop. He
is mortal, and he dreams dreams, and
dreams are Of the stuff that beget man
las. He dreamed once Of the common
commercial level OF gold and silver, and
never awoke until he was stranded upon
the shores Of overwhelming electoral de-
feat, and actually underwent the Sec
ond annihilative experience before he
abandoned his vagary. And now he is
on the pedestal again; the people who
believe in him are ready 10 offer him
TO the American electorate as the type
and hero of the hour and TO stand or
fall with him. in that tremendous test
Once more he dreams; and boldly. de-
family and tenaciously declares his Vi
sion TO be the lodestar OF success for
his party, He has said he will bind his
future to the doctrine Of governmental
absorption and control of the railroads
of the country. He has set up his own
barrier, he has drawn the line Of de-
narration between craftsmanship and
philandering and will lose again If he
goes to the country on that hypothesis
We waive the question OF the righteous
mes or folly of his theory; We simply
claim it to be inopportune, hopper
ative and susceptible Of the fercest and
most relentless opposition possible in
commercial America. He is predestineI
to defeat on such platform, and it
will not require a Roosevelt to do the
trick, either!
