The Roundup
By Willie West

Shot = Matters Perhi-
nent and Personal.

A certain district attorney in an east.
ern state not long ago headed a move.
ment to put a stop to trotting racing
In his county. Shortly after having his
picture printed in the newspapers and
giving an interview or the pernicious
effects and d~astardly evils Of betting
he was found playing fifty cent jack
pot at midnight In his home with some
bosom friends.
l think If John L. Sullivan was ask.
ed to give his opinion of this sterling
young official the answer would make
mighty picturesque reading for the tor.

Captain Jack Dunn of the Providence
Or. H. team of the Eastern league re-
Gently ran headlong into a flock of
troubles. President Harry Taylor sus-
pended him for nine days and fined him
500. and Umpire Moran beat a drum
mer's tattoo on his face with both fists.
"All l did," ayers Jack, twas to pull
Moran's nose for giving the worst de-
cision | even saw" Poor, abused .Jacki
His friends hope President Taylor will
soon be done doing Dunn as he has
done. for Dunn is done doing Moran.
The players aver that it was Moran
and not Dunn that did the doing.

ball player came tearing along after
the foul the mustangs got scared and
started to run away.
The dead armed man caught the ball,
and the runner on third base started
home, lettering along. knowing the fell
low couldn't throw him out. The dead
armed man after his jumping catch
kept right on, and before he could
stop he collided with the runaway
blackboard and fell clear over into 1t.
The runaways dashed across the field.
The base rune lodged to avoid them,
and the dead armed man, leaping from
the blackboard. tagged the runner on
the line and completed the double play.
Grif also has a grizzly bear story,

Both the National and American
leagues are going to quit business next
year becaus the English people say
the game Is really too noisy, don'tcher
know, ever to be popular over there in
Britain. That criticism by the cricket
loving Britishers is the worst blow
struck at the great American pastime
since the day Harry G. Pulliam was
made president Of the National league.
p. S.-According to a few Americans,
cricket is played indoors under the
name of chess.

New England has put on the market
several young fighters that have un-

mentioned are Kid Pantz and the two

Captain Jake Stahl of the Washing

from Grif's story that Seattle had q

WILL NOT PROBE
MINNESOTA BOARD.
Congress Has No Power to Inves-
tigate Railroad and Ware
house Situation.

Washington, June LIT is very un-
likely that congress will make any in
vestigation of the grain and ware
house situation in Minnesota. A re-
quest for such an investigation has
been made by the grain and warehouse
commission, as the result of the at
tack made by Senator McCumber, but
it is pointed out here that congress has
no power over the acts of a. sovereign
state and that, having no such power,
it would not be competent for it to go
into Minnesota to find out whether
state board was complying with law
Of the legislature. Any such inquiry
could not compel the attendance of
witnesses, but would proceed as a mat
ter of courtesy, and not of right, and
it might be severely criticised as an
invasion of the states prerogatives.
AS soon as certain data asked for
by the Minnesota senators have been
received, they will be placed in the
record, with some appropriate remarks,
and there the matter will end, in all
probability Senator McCumber's at.
tack was part of his argument in
favor of federal inspection of grain,
which he has been urging upon con-
gress for several years, but without
success.
