The best race Of the day was the
three-mile scratch event, won by George

American Olympic team, in 1925 rs.
His closest competitors were William

critics of the boxing pastime.
1t has been set forth with impress
sive emphasis that Hackenschmidt is
a marvelously strong man, who can lift
opponents in his arms and dash them
to the. floor with force enough to break
their bones. That is an altogether ad
mirable feature Of the wrestling game,
but it would be utterly useless in
boxing contest, for if the Russian lion
were to seize his opponent in boxing
bout and attempt to throw him to the
floor he would at once be disqualified.
So that the wonderful strength Of the
Russian would avail him nothing in a
fight with gloves.
Again, it is asserted that, with his
wonderfully muscled arms, he should
be able to strike blow calculated to
knock out Jeffries or any other man, on
whom he landed.
Hack s great muscles form the weak
ing is concerned.
All the Russians training has been
done with the single object of devel-
oping the muscles brought into play in
his wrestling contests. These are the
lifting, pulling and pushing muscles,
which lie in great ridges all over his
massive chest and shoulders and arms.
There is no more finely developed spe'

The Baseball Row.

~HE muddle in which the Mime
apolis baseball club is now in
H. volved thru the Owens affair is
a bad one, an affair in which there
are two sides and many reasons. It is
not the mushroom growth Of a night,
but Of season. It is the logical out
come of the factional strife which has
divided the league for almost year
and the responsibility for the political
conditions which led up to the most re-
cent affair rests upon the shoulders Of
George Tebeau, Charles Havenor and
George Lennon as heavily, if not more
50, than it does upon the four men
constituting the so-called Watkins
faction.
The story Of Mike Kelley's treat
ment at the hands Of Lennon and the
attempt to sell him to ST. Louis with
the consequent appeal to the courts and
victory for Kelley are too well known
to need repeating. Baseball law rubbed
elbows with civil law and as usual
baseball law cut about as much ice as
SNOWFALL in blast furnace. Kelley
beat out Lennon and the national COM
mission and incidentally beat out
Tebeau and Havenor, who were siding
with Lennon in his fight In the Amer
ican association. He aligned himself
with Watkins and Bryce in the ball
controversy and for these acts has
never been forgiven. .
Thru the season the Minneapolis
team has been the target for the mud
singing Of a set of Milwaukee scribes

the players bad name when there was
the slightest pretext to do so. Ordin'

Tennis is great game, but the meth

keep the championships from going out

Driver Hershey and M. w. Savage
asked George Ketchum up to the Min
nesota valley to assist in getting Cres-
ceus Strengthened out for his season s
work. Out at Savage everybody works
but Savage, and he sits on the fence
and tells the drivers "to hit it up.'
Cresceus was no exception and the own
er and driver wanted few points on
tho horse from the man who made him.
Ketchum came and Cres. is working
these days like any other race horse.
Upon this incident the eastern dopes
builded fanciful story Of how Ketch-
um addressed Savage and drew par
allel between the lives of the owner of
the horse and the animal. Each sue
cessful and deserving rest and fine
lot Of tommy-rot that Ketchum never
thought of saying. 1t would have
sounded just as we'll, tho not so prob
able, had the dopesters put the talk on
the tongue of the horse.
The east can rest easy. Cresceus is
earning his oats along with the rest of
the horses. Hershey is little man but
he carries the gad and any time that
Cresceus attempts any funny business
he will probably think that a horse fly
the size of blackbird has stung him.
Cresceus is not thru with the speed cir
Gle by any means. He is going to 60
and he is going to 60 fast. Sentiment
is one thing but "hoss training' is
another.

shedding crocodile tears over Cresceus

once day had just as well wipe away
their briny drops and come out west and
see Cresceus pound dirt.
He is getting his feed regularly, is
curried almost every morning and is
taking his mornings morning around
the mile track with Dan Patch and the
rest of the colts. Minnesota will make
man of Cresceus if he lives long
enough.
But skiddo the tears. Cres. is get
