Adams, the Sioux City man whose plans
for a new baseball league were men
toned some time ago, was again in
the city and was shown the report re-
Gently sent out from La Crosse to the
effect that that city was to be included
in a league which George E. Lennon
of; ST. Paul was organizing. Mr.. Adams
said: eyes, Lennon has become inter-
estod in the project of the proposed
new league, but whether he will be-
come sufficiently so to provide some
backing fer the plan is still question.
II he does so, he will take over one of
the franchises, probably La Crosse, and
Will then use that city as sort of farm
for his st. Paul team. 81,
In that way he would expect the
minor club to be of great value to him
as tryingout place for his youngsters.
Lennon has been talking the, matter
over with some of the directors of the
Wisconsin state league and several of
them seem in favor of the new project
If this plan was carried thru, it would
result in our dropping the Dakota towns
from our list and the substitution in
stead of couple Of the best paying
Wisconsin towns, Eau Claire for in
| stance. ..- <~
Lennon denies any desire to mix in
the mississippi Valley league,' and
says the St. Paul club gives him all
the baseball trouble he cares for.

to drive in the race for the Vanderbilt

Joe Tracy in his ninety horsepower

AMERICAN WINS THE
BIG BALLOON RACE

Paris, Oct. 2.-The Aero club semi
officially announced last night that
Frank p. Lahm Of tho Sixth United
States cavalry, ono Of the American
contestants, was tha victor in the first
competition for the James Gordon Ben
nett cup for international aeronauts.
The race was started Sunday after
noon, when fifteen balloons, represent
ing seven countries, sailed away from
ant Lahm s apparent victory may be
changed when G. S. Rolls, one Of the
English contestants, is heard from.
Rolls landing has not yet been re-
corded, and there is some doubt regard
ing his relative position.
Up to the present time, however, the
performance of Lahm and Kersey, in
the Balloon United States, in reaching
fifteen miles north of Scarborough,
Eng, is the best record attained by
any one Of the fifteen starters. The
members of the Aero cdub are inclined
to believe that the United States was

threatened to carry her over the North
sea, with no apparent prospect unless
the direction of the wind changed, of
finding land before making the coast
Of Norway.
Rolls is still to be reckoned with, and
definite announcement Of the result
cannot yet be made. The absence of
the Britannia, Rolls balloon, from the
list Of the landings, causes Increasing
disquiet as the hours 90 by, some
thinking that a current Of air must
have carried him out to sea, while

to have Morse as their tutor again and
the difference in team work was notice

but Was unable to work, as the injury
received in fridays game is still both

his team gave the regulars hard fight.

Chicago, Oct. 2-Bennett of Hamil-
ton, Ont swon the /. A. G.. Marathon
race yesterday. He arrived at the Hi
nols club, the finishing point, at IA
pm. Bennett led by u big margin,
and when he finished none of the other
contestants were in sight. At a point
one mile north of Lincoln park, Ben
nett had a lead Of three quarters of a
mile over LORI of the Mohawk Athletic
club of New York, and by the time he
reached Chicago avenue he had in
creased his lead to two miles. Bennett
finished strong and fresh.
LORI ran second to Bennett for ff-
teen miles. Then his feet became SO
blistered he had to slack up and al
low himself to be passed by Sifncy
Hatch of River Forest, who secured
second place, and j. P. Armour of
Chicago, who took third place. Ben
nett ran fifteen miles in the remark
able time Of eighty-fve minutes
The record for TWENTY-FIVE, miles is

to equal, altho he might have done so
had he tried. He was taken into the

fresh as a daisy and was introduced

he had been in race. The race last

SLIM ATTENDANCE AT
HIGH SCHOOL PRACTICE

The attendance at the high school
football practice was slim yesterday,
owing to injuries received Friday, but
each coach is pleased with his team
and this week will be spent in putting
on the finishing touches for the cham
pionship games. Every team suffered
more or less by the new rules, but all
obstacles will be out Of the way for the
first game between East and South
high at Minnehaha park next Friday.
North high went thru a stiff practice
and it is probable that Manager Hobbs
will arrange a practice game for next
! Friday, as the regular schedule does
not begin until the following week.
| All Of the first team were out, but
a few of the subs were absent. Scrim-
mage was the progam and the boys
went into it with a vim.
Fridays game did not give Coach
Burgan chance to pick out his first
team, but by the end of this week the
candidates will know to which eleven
they belong. Casey, the speedy little
quarter, will doubtless. land his posi-.
Lauritzeu and Leighton will probably
remain in their positions back Of the
line, but as Burgan intends to have two

IN HEROIC FRAY
Interest in Football Has Aroused
St. Paul Into Lively
Discussion.
bV O'LouQh|ln.

Everybody worked but the war
sity'' on Northrop field last night. DR..
Williams was in attendance at the fac
ulty council and Captain Current took
the first squad thru their signal and
kicking stunts, after which the big
fellows gathered around and cheered
the sophomore and freshman teams as
they battled in grit and for glory all
over the center of the field.
Dolan and Strathern were coaching
the freshies and the sophs and some OF
the fercest football ever seen on North
rop field resulted. Fierce in more
ways than one. The attack was of
the ferocious variety and the fumbling
and team work was also for fierce. The
stands held large crowd of class par
tizans, who watched the progress of
ents with that well-known form Of ap
probation which takes the form Of
hooting the rival. The star work was
done by all of the men and the new
rules assisted in puttinng much action
and mble-into the play.
Sig Harris put the college squad thru
their PAGES and worked them hard all
of the time. Thru failure of the first
team to don hcadgear. there was no
scrimmage Of the first and second
teams.
Talked of Tickets.
Yesterday afternoon the faculty
council took up the conference regula-
ton regarding the student price Of adj
mission to games, and plans were can
vassed for the placing Of these tickets
so as to avoid any danger of the scalp
ing which has been the cause Of much
anxiety on the part of the athletic au-
thorities in years gone by. Tho plan
devised and promulgated by the ath-
letic board and council is as follows:
A written certificate of enrolment in
the university must be secured from the
university accountant and presented to
the athletic management when the tick
ct is purchased. Only one ticket will thus
be sold to student. This certificate
must be handed to the athletic manage
ment ten days before the game.
For the followers of the game who
are not students, limit of six tickets
each has been set, and mail orders must
be accompanied by checks as formerly.
There has been no allotment of the
student seats, but the pasteboards sold
at the reduced price will give the go
pliers a good view Of the games. The
uses of the gymnasium were considered
and high school athletes will hereaf-
l.
the floors and lockers. The growing
demand for the space by the students
made this move necessary.
Interest Growing.
Western football is on the boom lust
now. Stage started to work yesterday
with a lot veteran material and as
Chicago fears only Minnesota this
year, the "wizard of the midway' will
doubtless do about all of his trimming
with that game in view. AS Mime
sofa has the making Of strong team,
the strongest in years, in fact, the
game will be hummer from every
standpoint. Victory over Chicago this
year would mean more to Minnesota in
every way than the history of the
football in the institution.
The football infection has even
reached st. Paul, where interest in the
gophers has always tagged. Inquiries

BURNS AND FLYNN
GO AT CATCHWEIGHTS
Journal Special Service.

Los Angeles, Oct. 2.-Tommy Burns,
the champion heavyweight-some call
him the pork and beans champion-will
tangle up with Jim Flynn of Colorado
in the Pacific Athletic club s arena to-
night in a twenty-round struggle at
catchweights. Strangely, Burns is not
such strong favorite as might be ex-
pected, and for newcomer Flynn is
well thought of. The betting now is
7 to 10, with Burns a choice, but he is
likely to be shorter price before the
ringside is reached, as the feeling is
that Manager McCarey will not see
him beaten because Of future matches
he has in sight.
The winner undoubtedly will get the
first chance at Philadelphia Jack
O'Brien for a fight within thirty days
as Jack has agreed to meet the winner
He will advise Flynn in his battle to-
night, thereby increasing the already
strong feeling between him and Burns
