BASEBALL FANS "STUNG"
WITH IMITATION PASSES

Commercial club society is on its
alabaster ear with excitement over the
latest club joke. 1t seems to have been
a case Of everybody bit but father, and
he was busy in the basement letting
others in on the ground floor.
Since the Minneapolis Baseball and
Athletic association came out with an
aristocratic directorate composed of
such captains of industry. politics and
lace G. Nye, E. G. Potter, Alderman
J. H. Van Nest and E. J. Westlake, all
prominent in Commercial club affairs,
the certain sportively inclined mem
bers have begun to cultivate the closest
possible acquaintance with the new Of
icials. The end in view In most CASES
has been the hope Of securing a. sea-
grounds. Requests came thick and fast
| and the directors longed for relief.
Relief came in the form of Manager
"Mike' Kelly and big package of
ANIMALS admitting bearer to the grand
stand and grounds. Armed with these,
the directors waited for applications,
but not long. Under pledges of great
secrecy and special favor, the passes
were doled out and slipped quietly into
divers breastpockets next to anxiously
beating hearts. The favored one gem
orally felt SO good and generous that
he proposed a libation to generosity,
or at least a smoke. AS result, the
directors have been living on the fat
of the land. Cigars have bulged from
every pocket.
Yesterday, however, in the seclu.
sion of his private office, one recipient
of pass carefully =. drew it forth to
gloat in secret over his great prize.
With pride he read the magic lines
| which were to omen to him all the
doors of the baseball grounds. Then he
noticed at the bottom line in smaller
print as follows: "Not good after May

Cute Thompson, third baseman OF the

Thompson will probably be tried in the short

C0RNHUSKERS GAME
FOR THE G0PHERS

Altho the Minnesota basketball team has won
the championship of the big nine and the West
ern Intercollegiate association the season is not
yet finished for Coach Leach's proteges. Sat
urday evening the gophers will endeavor to add
the scalp Of Nebraska to the Minnesota victory
belt. The cornhuskers will come to Minneapolis
undefeated and as if they win they will be
ranked superior to the big nine champions the
game should prove interesting
Last year the Nebraska team was one of the
strongest in the country and took two games
from the Minnesota aggregation and this year
there has been only change in the lineup.
Bender, the star Nebraska half back and basket
ball forward, has graduated and he will not
appear with the cornhuskers Saturday evening,
otherwise the team personnel is unchanged.
Since the game with Wisconsin Saturday even
ing the gophers have shown no disposition to
let up in their work and the cornhuskers are
looked upon the most formidable opponents
of the year the team will train to the limit In
preparation for the game.
In addition to the basketball play there will
be music by the Minnesota band and an informal
dance at the conclusion Of the contest.

Beaver Falls, Pa, March 22.-what sporting
men denounce the most barefaced "fskeo
fight in the history of pugilism in thi, country
was pulled of here last night The erincipals
were Larry Tempel of Cincinnati and local
welterweight named Gunther. 1t was generally
expected that Temple would dispose Of Gunther
easily, but to the surprise of all the SPECTATORS
Gunther ridiculously outclassed the Ohio man
from the tap of the gong In the first round
The bout was scheduled to 60 twenty rounds,
but in the thirteenth Temple pretended to be
unable to continue and allowed the referee
to count him out.
The sports were taken back at the result
for they had wagered to 1 that Temple
would win. They lost many thousands Of dollars
on Temple. The startling outcome of the con-
test induced the more prominent of the losers
to start an investigation. They learned that
Temple and his close friends bet heavily on
Gunther, taking the short end of the to /
money offered.
Red Mason who managed Temple until
after the late mill in Boston with Sam Lang
ford, was at the ringside and gives the un.
biased opinion that the bout was crooked.
Mason claims to know that Temple was to
have ammonia thrown quietly in his eyes at a
| certain stage Of the battle. but the bottle was
mislaid and SO Temple stalled and quit in the
| thirteenth round.
