The First Bathing Machine.

HERE does not seem to be much
Doubt that the first bathing machine
was seen at Margate England and
that It was the invention Of worthy
Quaker named Beale, who placed his
hopeful invention on the Margate Beach
in 1867 But It, was the old story; the
public became grateful after the inventor
had been ruined by his enterprise. HIS
successors have reaDed the harvest. Old
Benjamin Beale's widow could remember
In her last days the first family that re-
sorted TO Margate for the purpose Of bath
ing. being carried into the sea IN COW

was alarmingly claimed for them that

.LUNDS WILL TRAVEL .......
4. IN BIG AUTOMOBILES

With Young America thirty miles away and
no trains running, Magnate Sam Coughlin Of the
Lund Lands saw gruesome pictures of himself
being left at the post and the game scheduled
for tomorrow going to the Young America
Norwood team by default. While he wan
dering down Nicollet, his auburn head bowed
with the weight Of the sad thoughts which were
doing merry go-round stunt therein, the reek
of gasolene smell-dispensing cart broke in
upon his nasal infeld, and he was obliged to do
a three-yard dash for the curb. Just as he
was in the act of casting a real cross look at
the receding back of the "chuffer'' who had
interrupted his meditations an idea struck him
and he paused with his hand half way thru
Golightly Morrill, gesture toward the rear, upper,
right-hand corner of his neither garment.
AS result of this incident the Lund Lands
will assemble at Washington and Hennepin at
$50 am. tomorrow and proceed to Young Amer
lea in a gladstone procession of two automo-
biles. Players are warned to report in their
war toys, as auto rents are high and Sam Is
not going to blow any money on baggage
wagon to carry along fine raiment with which
to bedazze the demoselles Of Young America.
The Lunds are going to play ball and there will
be no society foolishness mixed in. Schroeder
and Schurch will pitch and Kurke and Kinkle
will catch for the Lunds. The Young America
Norwood battery will be Dell and Grady.

ANTS CLAIM TO HAVE
MADE GOOD AT MADISON

Madison. Wis, May 1.-THE claim of the
anti football members of the University of Wis
consin faculty that the suspension or reduction
of intercollegiate contests would enlarge general
student participation in outdoor athletics has
been abundantly indicated. Baseball on the
intercollegiate plan has been abandoned here.
Professional coaching of track team and foot
ball eleven has been eliminated The track team
may make creditable showing at the annual
meet at Evanston next month, but interest in
that occasion is not large. If football is played
here next fall it will be mild sort Of game
with no intercollegiate championship in sight.
The financial Importance Of athletics has been
reduced to the minimum, but general student
participa ton In athletics has multiplied. More
students than ever before are taking part In
class and fraternity baseball, and the number
of students now working in the various crews
is remarkably large. There are some sixteen
Greek letter fraternity baseball mines trying for
the Greek championship, and there are almost
similar number Of mines engaged in hot race
for the class championship. The lower campus
and Camp Randall daily crowded with play
ers. So many games scheduled as to give
practically time and room for practice. Some
games have been played early in the morning,
beginning at $50, on account of the scarcity
of room on the athletic fields Practice Is held
each evening until stopped by darkness
The regular varsity baseball players of last
year are playing on class and fraternity teams,
but are not, allowed to play their regular posi-
lions, so extreme Is the amateur idea applied.
Forty students are engaged in crew work.

Victory. .,.aa

Athens, April 2e.-(By Mal)-Greater crowds
than that which witnessed the Olympian games
have assembled In the United States numerous
occasions, such the Dewey parade in New
York or the worlds fair opening in Chicago,
but these great crowds were scattered. In and
around the stadium there were grouped fully
100000 people and you could see them from
a good point of vantage. Every spectator could
see the contestants In the stadium too, but few
could recognize the colors Of the athletes.
To those seated on the high tiers the COM
petitors appeared to be w-moving midgets.
The discus throwing event, won by Martin
Sheridan, was not contested in the stadium.
The great crowd would have made it dangerous
should the saucer-like missile have slipped from
the hand of any OF the contestants and spun of at
a tangent. Sheridan's chief rival, Georgantas,
the Greek, was palpably nervous.
There was tremendous enthusiasm when
Sheridan won. He was almost knocked OF his
feet by crowd of French, Greek, Italian and
English press photographers anxious to get his
picture for their various publications. Martin
good naturedly posed in half dozen attitudes,
until all the ambitious snap shooters were salts
fed. Our Hellenic friends were quite thrifty
in their management of the games. The photo
graphic privileges were held for the money
there was in it. The fee for taking camera
into the stadium was heavy enough to buy q
photograph gallery.
The religious fervor with which the Greeks
enter their favorite athletic sports was well

collegians.
Gun clubs from the University of Pennsyl-

are meeting Yale at the traps at Schuetzen park.
At Lake Whitney no less than eighteen eight
cared shells will be on the water this after
noon, and close races are expected.
