Fargo, N. D., Aug. 25.-Gilmore
Dobie, the new director of athletics at
the North Dakota agricultural college,
has arrived in the city and is in con-
ference with the faculty and student
representatives Of the athletic associa-
ton regarding the work to be done this
fall.
The athletic club has been fortunate
In its athletic directors, having had

ices of such a well-known football coach
as Dobie.
The Athletic club football team was
at its zenith under Cochems The
adoption after his last year Of rigid
amateur standing for the team, de-
prived the aggregation of some play

the four-year rule, which left Marshall

~ AsEBALL affairs Of Minneapolis
are in more of tangle than
~ ever before. The developments
of the week were the farcical "trial'
of Lydiard and M. J. Kelley and the
sale Of the club. 90
Public opinion forced the Havenor-
LennonTebeau-O 'Brien clique to work
in the open in the inquisition proceed
ings. Pressure brought to bear upon
O'Brien caused him to declare the
meeting open to representatives Of the
press. When the "trial' came off
it developed that O'Brien 3 famous in
vestigation in Minneapolis had been
barren of result insofar as gathering
any tangible evidence upon which he
could have Kelley fired from the asso-
citation. It showed that his arbitrary
suspension Of Kelley was without war
rant and in line with other drastic
actions taken against the Minneapolis
club and players this year. He should
have been man enough Wednesday
night, to have admitted that he was in
the wrong or had been misinformed or
misled and raised the suspension he
had imposed upon Kelley. He was
more Of the mouse, however, and altho
not guilty Of any wrongdoing Kelley
still remains in suspension, plaything
Of the partizan whims of the man who
is the nominal head Of the league.
The subterfuge of referring the mat
ter to the National commission was
nothing more nor less than cowardly
evasion to becloud the true situation.
Kelley and Lydiard were summoned be-
fore the board of directors to show why
they should not be expelled. The only
thing produced against them was a
long-winded "report" of O'Brien
which the evidence, Attorney Boutelle
says, did not substantiate in any essen
tial point.
There is hope in the national COM
mission. Garry Hermann is a polite
ian Of Cincinnati, but almost every
body up this way believes that Garry
Hermann is on the level, all the time.
He is a sportsman, a lover Of fair play
and the evidence which will go up to
Hermann cannot be Of a nature to do
anything but bring derision upon those
who thought it serious enough to for
ward. Harry Pulliam, another men,
Der Of the National commission, is also

ings in order>to get out, fearing that
he would lose everything if he held on.
The new owner has been heralded
from Milwaukee as an ally Of Havenor,
Tebeau and Lennon in the control Of
affairs in the league and this has
brought about much unfavorable COM
ment Of the fans. Followers Of base
ball in Minneapolis have long felt that
the local team was the mark for all
sorts Of discrimination on the part Of
the governing body of the league.
There has been dissatisfaction with the
umpires, and not without cause. Some
of O'Brien's umpires have been either
incompetent or prejudiced against Min
neapolis to such degree that despite
any wish to be fair which they mi ht
entertain, they have rubbed it in on
the local team. This condition led up
to tho mobbing Of two umpires, one
being the subject Of hostile demonstra-
tions twice within as many days.
Mr.. Koch IS path is not rosy one in
coming to Minneapolis and taking
charge of baseball affairs just now, and
coming with such heralding as under

O'Brien the Pippin.

&KYE MAY not think much Of
wv Jack O'Brien as a heavy
w weight champion prizefghter
but everybody has to join hands and
circle around in admiration at his abil-
lily as lemon squeezer. He has
worked the squeezers until he owns
flats, apartments and residences galore
in Philadelphia and is still putting the
friction on the fruit
Just after getting a bit of the sour
IN his attempt at pressure on the Berger
lime, O'Brien has packed his grip and
sailed away for England. There were
various reasons assigned for this, but
none of them was correct. Some said
that Jack went abroad thru sense of
shame at not SCATTERING the vertebrae
of the Berger person. Others said he
was on his way to Australia to fight
Bill Squires, a bushranger, who was
killing people in the ring in the kango-
roo settlement.
Now comes the truth. Jack picked
mp Philadelphia paper one morning
and saw wherein Hackenschmidt was
getting warlike and was talking about
fighting Jeffries. He read how "Gun-
ner' More was leading this burly boy
thru the labyrinth of the feint, swing
and sidestep pastime. He saw the
shores Of Albion in his minds eye, and
they were making a noise like the drop
ping Of dollars into grandmother 8
cracked coffee pot on top Of the cup
board in the kitchen. He could hear
the jingling of the guinea to help the
hurt that honor feels and the song of
the shilling was to his ears like the
singing Of the Loreli Jack said nc
word to the Philadelphia newsmongers
and on the wharf at New York drew
himself up aloft and quoted that i'm
perishable gem from the lines Of Will
liam Collier:
~ am going away from here.''
He did.
Nothing doing in the cable news for
several weeks, when on Tuesday trickles
the tidings that Jack had persuaded
Hackenschmidt to meet him in Lun-
Rontown for a ripe purse. He hash It
counted the money. Nay, not yet
but soon.
Jack is not as big as the Russian, but
when he gets thru with the subject Of
of the car, Hack is going to look some
thing like Adam Fad after his expert

terrier circling the house cat on the

cle-bound chap chopped into shreds, and
1t is very doubtful if the Slav can put a
glove on O'Brien. O'Brien may not
like punishment and may not be a
prime finisher in a long gruelling match
but when it comes to the footplay and
the jab game, Hackenschmidt will think

Kelley before any court OF law It was clearly
shown that Kelley, while he had knowledge Of
what the directors were doing In the way Of
getting afadavits to the effect that Owens had
been betting on games, did not take any part
In the affair at all. and did not know that they
had been sent to Chairman Hermann and Pres
ident O'Brien until after the mailing of the
same He swore Oh the stand that he had re-
fused to have anything to do with the matter
for the reason that the Tebeau faction had
been after his scalp and he was not going to
take any chances. 1t was shown concluslyely
that Mr.. Lydiard had taken the affair into his
own hands and had pushed it thru. It was
also shown that the whole thing started from
an editorial in q Minneapolis paper about
gambling on ball games and intimating that
Umpire Owens was mixed up in it.
The testimony was about the weakest that
could be produced and but for the buying of the
club by Gus Koch and the ousting from office
as result Of such purchase Of Kelley and Lyd-
lard the directors must have found Kelley not
guilty.
Clyner Was Quiet. -..-
WV LILLIAN CLYMER, who usu-
NA/ ally makes loud noise on
w the coaching lines, was
strangely quiet on his last trip to Min
neapolis. William generally gets out
on the coaching line and gives his per-
Torrance, the same, by the way, that
he has been using for number of
years. In fact, William has used it
until the audiences no longer encore
and a new sketch will be necessary for
next season if William wishes to re-
tain his laurels as the cock pin of the
coaching box.
On the Columbus team, tho, is a
chap who can get on third baseline
and make William crawl under the
grandstand quicker than he prances
when he is wheeled by the jumps. 1t is
Ezekiel Wrigley. In the days gone by
in the eastern circuit, Ezekiel was the
prima donna, the sweet singer Of the
coachers. He had an original line of
dope that was changed day by day and
kept the crowds in. continual roar.
People went to see - 'zeke' perform

1t is wonder that Clymer has never

as the Clymer boy never thought Of do

the influence OK control Of the Tebeau
faction. He comes as a Milwaukee
man replacing local man under I'M
favorable auspices. There has been q
long standing antipathy here to the
syndicate baseball idea. The popularity
Of the local team came this year thru
an arrangement under which, while
Watkins held stock in Minneapolis, he
could not direct in any way the policy
Of the club. It pleased the fans and it
has been the banner year in the history
of the game, so far as attendance is
concerned, in Minneapolis.
Mr.. Koch can best serve his finan-
cial interests by making it plain that
he intends to come to Minneapolis to
become a bona fde citizen. He can
boost himself and his club by a public
announcement that Minneapolis base.
ball affairs are not to be dominated
by the Tebeau-Havenor idea of ad-
ministering the affairs of the league.
He can still further fortify himself in
the esteem Of the fans by demanding
of O'Brien and his hackers that Kelley
be given full and clean bill Of health
In baseball, that Lennon and st. Louis
waive all claim upon him and that he
be put in good standing. Then he can
make him manager Of the team without
bubble or faultfnding from anyone.
If Mr.. Koch remains in Milwaukee
and the fans believe that the baseball
affairs Of the city are to be subject to
the dictates Of the men who have been
after Kelley and Watkins SO long, he
will find his path rough one, if street
and grandstand comment is to be be-
lieved. At present the fans believe
that they have been sold out and into
the hands Of their opponents. They
believe that Kelley is in the same boat.
The best thing for Mr.. Koch is to get
on the ground and show conclusively
that they are mistaken. It must be q
thoro showing, as there are lot Of
baseball Missourians hereabouts. If
he delivers the goods his advent into
Minneapolis baseball can be made aus
picious. If he fails the fault is his
own.
He should remember, however, that
syndicate baseball and syndicate in.
fuences are down and out here for all
time. Minneapolis always stands up
for Minneapolis. In baseball affairs
Minneapolis will not stand for Mil
waukee, st. Paul or Louisville control
or dictation. g
