FRANK HAYS IDEA OF
DULUTH BALL PLAYERS
He Forecasts Coming Baseball
Season Says Good Word
for Duluth Boys.
Newt. Randall, the Duluth
Boy Signed With Chicago
National League.

The fans are beginning early to talk
about next seasons base ball. Some
of our local boys who have been max
ing good at home and elsewhere are
fast reaching into national fame.
Art, O'Dea was here during the
week and much speculation is on as
to what will be done with the Duluth
team. 1t is expected that some fast
players will be secured for the home
team this year, and rumor has it that
several have already been signed.
Jim Pagan is Signed.
Jim Pagan, who played third base
for Duluth last year has made good,
and in all probability will be signed
for this season. Pagan is the max
ings Of good third baseman. If his
Improvement during the coming year
will be as marked as it was during the
last year on third base,, we will soon
hear of him trotting in fast company.
Some Who Have Made Good.
A ball player who made good with
the Duluth fans in 1904, the first year
he played here, is VIM. Kennedy. bet
ter known as Butch" Every one
who loved to see a ball game new
er failed to praise our first baseman,
Butch Nothing ever got beyond that
first bag that came within reaching
distance, and when he went to the bat
we always looked for good safe hit.
Butch intends to get into the game
again, and if he does, and makes good,
which I know he WILL there will be
managers sending contracts to get
him. Surely patrons Of the great
game in Duluth would be pleased to
see him back on first base in Duluth

Professor George E. Gardner, one

regards the strike-brea ker, In a re-
cent address before the. Portia Club

Professor Gardner thus sums up his
opinions, which were received with
hearty accord: =

will, If the wellbeing of a consider

M'CLARNEY AND DENVER
ED SMITH ON WATERMELON

Jack Burke, the Irish lad who
had fought Mitchell and Sullivan,
went through Kansas with a COM
bination giving boxing exhibitions.
He had with him Denver Ed Smith
and an Irishman named McClarney,
called the Irish Giant. In a town
in Kansas where they were showing
they stopped at the only hotel in
town and everyone sat down to the
table in family style. They had a
watermelon, cut in boquet fashion.
Smith and McClarney never saw a
watermelon cut in that style, SO
when some one asked to please pass
the watermelon they both looked
at each other. When everyone had
left the table Smith asked McClar-
ney if he knew how watermelons
gxew. "Why, Of course" said Nc
Clarney. "They grow in the ground
like potato" "You blooming
Sod" replied Smith; "did you not
hear the man say, Pass the water
melon?' Why, you blooming fool,
it grows in the water"

would advise; however, that the big
fellow train down little in weight,
so that he will experience. no trouble
covering the bases after making a
good hit.
ST Bennett May Leave. "
Our old friend, ST Bennett, who was
born in Duluth, thinks of going to
Edmonton, Canada, next season, to
play. If those Canadian ball fans
give ST a chance he will soon prove
that he has that base ball stuff In
him, and when they see him run the
bases they will think Dan Patch has
broke loose.
Every newsboy in Duluth knows ST
Bennett. l used to buy papers from
him once, and I take a great deal OF
pride in his success. He Is a union
cfgarmaker and that helps some with
us, you know.
Newt Randall Goes to Chicago.
Another Duluth boy who has made
good. and who recently has been rec
commended by Frank Seele as one OF
the coming great ball players in Amer
lea. is our own Newt. Randall. Wham
the Judge first saw him it was in
1900, when he played with the Big
Duluth's. Since then he played with
the Northern league for three sea-
sons and with Denver two season
He has just signed a contract with the
big National league of Chicago, and
/ am certain that Newt. will give a
good account of himself, as he always
has since I first saw him play In
1900. I am also certain that it will
be the wish of every person In Duluth
when Newt. plays with the great
champions, that at the end of the
next season we will hear Of him as
one of the greatest ball players in the
world. So here is success to our old
Duluth boy, Randall.

There was a story in Sundays News
Tribune about man named P. Nc
Donald being seriously injured by a
kick from a horse at Hibbing. A
goodly number of Duluth people at
first believed it to be our old friend
Paddy FcDonald, the popular Duluth
contractor. Later it developed that
our Paddy was home, and that the
unfortunate one was another person.
1 knew from the beginning that there
was no thruth in the rumor, because
the horse never lived that could hurt
Paddy with a kick. I have seen him
hit harder than a horse could kick
and it never phased him.

LODI BANKERS MAY
CLOSE ESTABLISHMENTS

LODI, Russian Poland, Jan. 3.-The
local bankers are threatening to
close their establishments in conse-
quence Of the refusal of the military
au thorities to guard the banks from

The lockout of the employees of the
factories Is as complete as ever. The
employers show no signs Of yielding
and declare they are determined to

less the men yield on all points.
Many of the employees are willing to

saloon men during the recent lid az.

St. James, and greeted Benny Vail,
who was on watch with a cheerful,
Happy New Year." 1.-THE same to

characteristic manner. Then he ad-
ded: where are you going to eat
your New Years dinner?" and at the
same moment he reached his hand
in his pocket, and pulling out $500,
handed. it to the veteran with the re-
mark: Here, old man, eat on this.

didn't appreciate it, too. Benny is no
saint, but true men are judged by their
good deeds, rather than by their pro-
fessions of faith. That's my religion.

OLD TIMER TELLS
STORY ON ED. SMITH

I had Denver Ed. Smith and John
P. Glow and travelled through Colorado
and Wyoming, Utah and Texas. I
gave any one who would stand in
front of us for four rounds, $25 and
any one whom we could not. stop, best,
and knock out put in "best' so if
we could not stop or knockout, the
"best" saved us for we could always
best any we boxed with In them days.
Well, when we started on our tour,
bought plated gold watch for Smith
and taught him to tell time. He new
er had a watch before. So we missed
the passenger train at Erosion, Wyo:,
where we gave an exhibition and had
to take a way freight to make our next
town. Smith was asleep and Glow
took his watch off him with pair of
finger shears; took off both hands
and put the watch back in Smiths
pocket. l.
The railroad was rather rough from
Erosion to Ogden, SO after. ught-it
was in the summer time, about 4
o'clock in the morning-we woke
Smith up and told him we would soon
be in Ogden. Smith Jumped up, took
out his watch. The, hands were gone.
He looked: at me, then, at the ceiling;
+ then on the floor. Turning to me he
said: II say, old chap, it has shook
