Sans version there will be nothing to 1t. The
Lauritzen team, which Sam admits Is about 5o
per cent poorer than his aggregation, went down
to the city Of Young America and swamped the
team Of that name. Now the only thing that
the Lund Land followers can foresee Is a score
of at least So to in favor Of Sans bunch, and
If the score falls short Of that Coughlin may as
well start right out Oh his trip thru the Da-
kotas. Sam made the statement last night that
If Schurch Schroeder failed to let the home
team hit the ball in nine innings that he would
play three extra innings for the benefit Of the
Young America citizens who paid their 10 cents
to see the game, and thta he (Sam) would do
the twirlipg himself, and let one Toney Pleve,
the official scorekeeper. do the catching.
If by some terrible i'll luck the Lund Lands
should lose, then Mr.. Coughlin will be forced
to start insurance company in that town to
keep his team from starving, for he certainly
could never live in peace in this town.
The Lund team will lien up the same MS at
Faribault last Sunday, only that perhaps Kurke
will do the catching, while Captain Kinkel will
play in the outfield. If the Lund Lands are vic
torious they will return as they went, in auto
to walk home, and can be seen sneaking into
Minneapolis at time, as not to be
corraled and lynched. The Lund Lands will line
up as follows: Kinkle or Kurke. catcher;

bouts9 Sharon, Pa, comes to the front
last week with another death due to
this sort Of thing. It looks to be about
time for someone to do about ten or
fifteen years in the pen for this sort
Of business.
These deaths are due chiefly to the
greed and cupidity of the fight pro-
motors. These young boys and broken
down bar flies can be secured to fight
cheap. They will go into ring and
beat each other up for $40 or there
abouts. The manager announces that
he has "matched" pair ftfor a purse
of $5,000,' when in fact the men are
generally hired to box in the same man
ner that householder hires his lawn
moved. The. big fighters seldom put
up cent these days. They fight for
gate receipts.
The managers hire hall, agree to
pay boys to fight certain number Of
rounds and then 60 to fishing for easy
money by working up excitement about
"the .match.' The boys, encouraged
by applause or stung by the taunts Of
the crowd forget all caution and bat
tie until one or the other goes down
from exhaustion. Death occurs all too
frequently. When boy dies under
such circumstances the promoter Of the

The whole trouble with the fighting

TROM Baltimore comes the intelli-
gence that Joe Cans and AL Her
IL ford have buried all Of: their diff
ferences and that Cans is once more
under the wing of HEREFORD. Next
comes word that Cans is matched with
Willie Lewis, a man he could thrash
in 500-foot ring with one arm tied
and ball and chain on his right leg.
Followers of the fighting game will
not stand for this new alliance of
Cans. Last winter the Baltimore dinge
came out and confessed to about
every form Of taking that is known
on the pugilistic calender-and there
are lot Of them. He said he had had
vision and was prepared to tread the
straight and narrow path of rectitude
in the future. He called HEREFORD all
sorts Of bad names.
HEREFORD sawed wood. He knew the
failings Of the coon. He knew that
Cans must have a drink of gin or g
dollar or two ahead to be talking that
way and that as soon as the cholocate
drop was out of money he would come
around. Herford had the right dope
on the African. He bumped his way
from the west coast to the east, reached
Baltimore, and hunted up his former
manager. He ate out Of Alonzo's HAND
and did not eat until Alonzo opened
his hand. Now it is announced that
the two have joined up again and fight
followers are shifting their rolls, tt
their hip pockets and buttoning W
their vests. r.

enjoyed by all. There we're about six
ty present. Fred Bath aud Denny Fee
Furnished the music. After each dance
there seemed to always be an encore,
so Mr.. Bath took his mouthharp and
thought he would see which would go
down first, the dancers or himself, but
he had to give in, after playing thirty
seven minutes, on account of his OPP
ponent taking the harp away from his
mouth and placing a sponge there.
Those who held the floor the entire
thirty-seven minutes were Arthur Phil
lips and Miss Minnie Kunkle and VIII
lie Pilger and Miss Parlow.
A delicious supper was served at
midnight by the Bachelors league.
After supper Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Nc
Laughlin gave a few vocal selections
and dancing was resumed with whoops
and cheers, all leaving in the morning
with the hope that they would soon
be able to meet there again.
