FAST TEAMS FIGHT
FOR TITLE TONIGHT
Gophers Meet Badgers for Cham
pionship Of West-Athletic
Meet This Afternoon.

With the basketball championship OF the
middle west at stake and both teams in the best
of form and intent upon anne1ing the coveted
honor the Minnesota and Wisconsin CUNTS will
meet in the university armory this evening in the
last and what should be the most stubbornly
fought game of the season. Preceding the var
sity struggle the South and East high school
teams will enter an engagement to settle the
high-school championship Of the city, the latter
game starting at 1870 pm, with the big battle
scheduled for S:15 1919 r.~- .|S.~' SsTsr--.s-.<-.
Never before has interest in basketball surged
SO high as it is at the university today. Of all
the institutions Of the west, Michigan excepted,
possibly Minnesota would rather triumph over
the badgers. The feeling is reciprocated by the
Madison school, and the players of the latter
will enter the game as determined to, win as
the gophers are confident they will not. Both
teams are reported to be in the acme Of condi-
ton. All the gopher stars will be in the bat
tie. as will the strong men of Wisconsin, and
the contest will be battle royal. E=
Tho the varsity engagement attracts the lions
share of interest, the high fight that will
precede it is not without attention. Both South
and East nigh teams have good records and the
rivalry of the two institutions assures stub
horn battle. ~.
This afternoon an athletic meet, which. aside
from direct interest, is important as basis fol
track team prospects. is in progress. -.h

League Star.

Louisville. Ky, March 17.-George Tebeau,
owner of the Louisville baseball club, paid fy-
ing visit to Memphis recently in order to buy the

years ago.
Whether Tebeau able to buy Phyle's re-
lease from the Memphis club is not known. but
1t is known that he went to Memphis prepared
to pay a big price for the former National
Lacquer.
In the spring of 1894 Charlie Frank. owner OF
the Memphis club, bought Phyle's release from
the Chicago Nationals in order that he might
win the pennapt with his bluff city organiza ton
He accomplished this purpose, landing the flag
for the Memphis club in the Southern league.
Two years ago several players in the Southern
league made the statement before the chief base
ball body that Phye had told them that he hat
proof Of crookedness in the Southern league pen
nant race, and. falling to substantiate these
charges, he was blacklisted, being reinstatet
only few months ago.
Lee Goldberg, assistant secretary of the Louis
vile club, stated last night that in his opinion
Tebeau is trying to buy Phy1e for the Kansa
City club. He stated that Tebeau believed thu
Louisville club to be strong in the pitching &c
partment and that If Phyle's release was pur
chased he would go to the city by the Kaw an
help strengthen the blues.
