LAURA.
- THOMAs CAMPION.

by THOMAS CAMPlON
Rose checked Laura, come;
Sing thou smoothly, with thy bcauty's
Silent music. either other
SWeetly Sracing.
Lovely forms do flow
From Concent divinely framed:
Heav'n is music and thy beauty's
Birth is heavily.
These dun notes We sing.
Discords need for helps to grace them;
Only beauty, purely loving,
Knows no discOrd.
But still moves delight
Like clear springs renewed by flowing,
Ever perfect, ever in them
Selves eternal

Iowa Football Critic Picks the Gophers
to Win.
K. D. Steere, the Iowa football ex-
pert, has this to say about the Ames-
Minnesota game:
What, then, is to be the outcome of
the Ames and Minnesota game to be
played in Minneapolis next Saturday?
Has Ristine chance to continue his
great run of luck and defeat a member
of the western conference for the first
time? 1t will be the first game for
Dr.. Williams team, while Ames will
go into the contest thoroughly sea-
soned by five games, one of which has
made the men fight to their utmost ca
pacity. One hesitates to venture pre-
diction on game Of that kind in
which one of the teams has not played
before this season and the other has
made such a record as the Farmers
have. DR.. Williams is reported to have
a squad of big men, but he has lost
the old stars who made Minnesota's
reputation in the west. 1t is certain
that at no time during the past years
in which Ames has iourneyed to Min
neapolis for an annual contest with
the Gophers have Ristfne's men had
as good an opportunity to win. Ames
will never win in straight football,
because heavy as the Farmers are,
they will hardly be able to punch the
Minnesota line, while Minnesota's wide
mass plays should net substantial
gains. For this reason it is believed
that the Gophers will capture their
opening contest and by substantial

MUSIC FOR SATURDAY.
Tive Bands to Make Noise at Football
Game Saturday Between the
L. and the 4. C.

Fargo Forum: The football situa-
ton at the a. C. has not changed much
for two days. Last nights practice
was In the park and the field was
heavy. The work was consequently
slow and unsatisfactory, and yet It
was good practice, too, as the game
Saturday may be on heavy field. The
formations are going much faster, but
not any too smooth at that. There is
not yet too much getting in each 9TH
er's way in maxim the various shifts.
The subs are giving the regulars some
hard work and are helping in a marked
degree to round out the team. There
may be some surprises in store for
Saturday. There are some very PROM
Using candidates for positions among
the subs, but the entire team seems
to be getting down to hard, consistent
work. The outlook for large crowd
at the game is very bright. Every
body is discussing the merits of the
two teams and the probabilities of the
score. Travelling men report much in
terest in surrounding towns in the
game and the fare and third rail-
road rate is very favorably commented
upon. Many will take advantage Of
the rate and be in Saturday. There
will be music galore on the streets
Saturday morning, as it is understood
the university band will be here and
the A. c. cadet band will meet the uni
versity special and escort them down
town and then tender trolley ride
to the university band if the weather
is at all favorable. The two bands
will play concert at the corner of
N. P. avenue and Broadway after the
trolley ride. Then both bands will
keep things busy before the game,
playing from 2:15 to 800, when the
game will be called.

Then Willie Hoppe beat vignauN and
has held the title ever since.
The first worlds championship at
1872 billiards was held at the Grand
hotel. Paris, Feb. 1920. 1903. The en-
tries were Louis Cure. George Sutton.
George Slosson and Maurice VignauN.
1t was agreed by the four players to
play off all ties and to divide the net
receipts equally. But before this
agreement Sutton, Cure and VignauX
had signed an agreement requiring all
ties to be settled by the general aver
ages. Cure, Sutton and VignauX won
two games each and Slosson did not
win game. When il was announced
that the ties would be played off Wig
nauX refused. claiming that as he had
the best average he had won the tour
nament. He took the matter into court
and finally won out

tournament. winning seven games.
Slosson was seven with but two games
won.
In January, 1879. the last and great
est tournament at three-ball caroms
was played in New York city. Schae-
fer won seven games and Slosson 5.
Slosson had high average and high
run by big margin. but it was against
S!osson that Daily made the greatest
run of his life and his defeat of SlOs-
son placed the latter in a position
where he could only win by beating
Schaefer twice. Schaefer, however
won the first contest easily.

Prize Ring

The action of the women at the ring
side of the Gans-Selson fight recalls
wildly to the memory the remarkable
incident which took place at Carson
City on the occasion of my contest
with Bob Fitzsimmons. Well remem-
Der how Mrs. Fitzsimmons coached
Bob in all his actions. In the corner
opposite to me was Martin Julian, the
brother to Fitz's wife That they had
all talked over the plans OF the con-
test was evident from the similar ex-
pressions that came from them.
In the early part of the contest when
l had Bob on his defense and outlook
ing him, Mrs. Fitzsimmons was the
most excited spectator present. Bob
had counted on the "shift"-the blow
that he won most of his fights with
to bring down my scalp. Several times
he worked it on me, but with little
damage until the final round. Above
everything else could hear the coach
ing of the devoted wife OF Bob How
much effect it had on me am not
able to tell to this day. l know that
was never more confident of winning
any battle in which was engaged
than that one
When the finish came believe that
Mrs. Fitzsimmons was the most pleased
of all the great host present.
1t has often been discussed whether
women take as much interest in fight
ing as men. certainly believe that
the male followers of the ring out
number the women 100 to 1, but that
there is no attention paid to ring sport
by the fair sex is mistake. know
that upon one occasion at least a wo-
man wagered $4,000 on the outcome
of battle. When fought Kid Nc
Coy at Madison Square garden, New
York, many bets were placed by &C.
tresses. Even chorus girls wagered
their small amounts on the result of
that contest.
There never was fight held in New
York in which there was more general
interest than in my go with Mccoy.
The Kid had it on them all when it
came to being popular with the ladies.
Many who didn't know a thing about
fighting laid wagers on that contest
At Goldfield the women turned ont
more freely to see the battle between
Cans and Nelson, but there was little
betting. And in spite of his color Cans
seemed to be the favorfte with the
ladies. His effort to help the Dane to
his feet after he had knocked him
down won much applause from the
section where the women were seated.
There are two men who are entitled
to first consideration by Cans for a
fight. Jimmy Gardner gave the COL
ored man one Of the hardest battles
he has ever had, and is willing to the
extent of $4,000 to try conclusions
with him again. Kid Herman, through
his showing with Attell, Yanger and
Herrera, Is the second man in line
Herman is one of the fighters who
would make a contest from a boxers
point of view with Cans. He can
stand away and battle or take care of
himself at close quarters. In a finish
fight there would be very little chance
Of him winning.

Jack o'Brien whipped two men in

it's an oversight, for Jack doesn't in

1t is only question OF time until they

Billiards

The first public contest at the real
baik ' line game was in April. 1883.
when Schaefer won the tournament In
chicago, winning six games. Slosson
was not in the contest. The balk-lfnes
were eight-inch.
The first tourney at 142 billiards
was held in New York. April. 1885, and
Slosson won first place and Schaefer
second. In December Slosson, Sshae-
fer and Vignaux played for the 14.G
championship in Chicago. The three
players were tied and on the play-off
Schaefer won, with Vignaux second.
The first appearance of Frank Ives
in the tourney held in New York, Feb
ruary, 1890. Schaefer and Slosson
played 14.2 against SO for Ives. Slos-
son won 5 games, Schaefer 4 and Ives
l. In April another tournament was
held, Schaefer winning 5 games, Ives
and Slosson 8. The first 14.2 worlds
championship was held in New York
Dec. /, 1890, Schaefer beating Slosson
800 to 609. In 1891 Schaefer defended
the title, beating Carter 800 to 581.
The third match was between Slosson
and Schaefer in 1892, Schaefer winning
800 to 592. In 1892 Ives won the
fourt match from Schaefer, 800 to 48S,
and later Ives won the fifth match
from Slosson, 800 to 488.
The first worlds championship at
1871 was held in New York, December,
1897. Slosson won, Schaefer second
and Ives third. The Schaefer chal-
lenged and beat Slosson, 600 to 500.
Then Ives beat Schaefer, 600 to 426.
The title was played for again in De-
cember, 1901, Schaefer winning, with
Slosson second and Sutton fourth. La
ter Sutton claimed the title, and in
March, 1904, Sutton played Vignaux,
the Frenchman, winning, 500 to 3S7

Baseball

Gus Koch no longer owns the Min
neapolis baseball club.
For reasons best known to himself.
Mr.. Koch decided that he did not care
to continue as the owner of the club
and it has been known for some time
that he would willingly part with the
club If he could get his price. He was
not received as he had hoped and in
a Milwaukee interview he stated that
conditions in baseball in this city
were not just as he had expected they
would be.
The new owner. Mike Cantilion. is
a brother of Joe Cantilion. manager Of
the Milwaukee club and is a we'll
known baseball man. For two years
he has owned and managed the Des
Moines club of the Western league
and has won two pennants in that
time. He is a hustler just as is his
brother Joe, and has come to be re-
garded as a successful baseball man.
The sale will have no bearing on the
Mike Kelley case. whatever, and
probably efforts will now be made by
the Minneapolis owners to secure the
removal of the ban against the popu-
lar manager. The Cantilions and Mr..
Kelley have always been the closest
OF friends, and there is every reason
to believe that they will do something
in his behalf.
Another thing is certain and this is
that Mike Cantillon will stand no
monkeying by O'Brien. The we'll
known manager knows what is fair
in baseball aand what is foul. and will
not stand for any funny business from
the man who is figuring as the head
of the league. He has been around
the circuit and knows the temper of
the fans. SO 1t is certain that he will
not allow any manipulating such as
that which practically ruined the Min
neapolis season last year.
Among the fans last night there was
to be found suspicion that this sale
was not bona fide, but there appears
no reason for such suspicion. If
Mike Cantillon says he has bought the
team. am ready to believe him, and
if Joe Cantillon says his brother owns
the team, then it's cinch, for Joe is
certainly on the square.

bookmaker Stedecker, was willing.
Bring him around and let me look
at him." said Stedeker.
We'll, you are a pony" said Sted-
eker when he saw him. But I think
you'll do. You look dead game"
Say Jimmie" said Stedeker to his
friend James Mclaughlin at the track,
Il know kid think would be find
for you II you'll break him into the
game"
Whats his name?" said McLaugh-
lin.
"Oh, forgot it," said Stedeker. Its
a furlong long. Call him Miller-Wal-
ter Miller. His real name means
'hunch' in English"
That's how 1 got Walter Miller"
said Jimmie Laughlin at the Brighton
track today. HE was the brightest
lad ever saw. He didn't know d
horse from a mule when he came to
me. But he took to the game like a
fish to water and developed quicker
than any youngster l ever saw.
His first mount was at Benning.
He didn't win his first race, but he
kept coming. He was game young
ster. He could run, box or wrestle,
and wasn't afraid of anything alive"
"And want to say, with all due re-
spects to little Miller" said Stedeker,
that he was the costliest investment
l ever made. Why paid out for
tune on dead ones that clever young
ster carried under the wire."
Little Miller weighs ninety pounds
now. But he is carrying gold for his
age. The other day he gave his mother
a $4,000 home in Flatbush.
He is the premier jockey of America.
The first time he was put up on live
one at Morris park the plungers kicked
up terrible rumpus. When his name
was posted as the rider of Consuelo II.
they ran around inquiring, who is
Miller? Can he sit on horse?"
Miller showed them he could. He
has been in constant demand ever
since. He has the biggest ring follow
ing the ring has ever known. Miller's
mount is always we'll played.
There has been much speculation re-
garding Walter Miller's income. It is
variously estimated at from 5000 to
$4,000 year.
But for all that he is still boy. It
is doubtful If he ever carries a yellow
back. Yet he is satisfied. All the lit
tie Millers are blooming in luxury.
And he is the greatest Miller Of them
all.

Automobiling

With the American Automobile as
ISOLATION actively interested in the pro-
ject, the construction of a big private
course for road racing bids fair to
become an accomplished fact in the
near future. Sufficient money to f.
nance the scheme is assured and the
work is going on quietly. as is nee
essary in order to avoid a boom of
prices in the land desired.
Lancia, the daring, has displayed a
great commercial shrewdness by say
ing that the European makers will
prefer to have the Vanderbilt race run
here as long as they can win it, be-
cause it does them more good to win
in this country where they are trying
to unload their surplus stocks. But
will the foreigners always be able to
win hereafter? The recent work of
Tracy and the locomobile racer gives
point to this question.
AS the penchant for touring has
grown the serviceability of the Amer
lean automobile association has be-
come more appreciable to the individ-
ual. The help 1t extends is often a
boon of great value besides actually
enabling members to save several
times the amount of 81 membership
fee. More individual memberships
have been added to the rolls this year
than ever before and the new offices
of Sec. s. s. German il the Metropol-
itan building, New York, are busy
places from Monday n.orning until
Saturday night.
in England have shown
that the use of mortar-like cement
in road building viii. rep'lcr the high
way more durable and almost dust
less. This suggests tne adding of a
new phrase to the eternal conflict be-
tween horseman and motorists. While
smooth road of adanantine surface
would be ideal for automobiles, it
would be Injurious 20 horses. The
ultimate hope of the motorists there
fore. seems TO be the crcwd'ng out
of the horse by inc motor vehicle.
The use of detachable rims for tour
ing ears is a logical sequence to
their great advantage that has been
proven in Europe. 1t will be but little
more trouble and expense to carry a
tire on a rim than a tire alone and
damaged tire, efter being quickly re-
moved. may be replaced at the fret
convenient leisure of the chauffer.
