IT WAS VELVET
FOR THE PREPs
They Defeated Engineers in
Fast Contest Tuesday
Afternoon.

The Engineers got theirs yesterday
afternoon, and the Props gave it to
them. 1t was in the opening game of
the department series. There was the
customary cold weather that makes
the opening day baseball game rather
slow. However, cold weather had no
effect on yesterdays battle.
The Props took the start early in
the game. After going to bat twice
without getting to the pan. the third
round saw one man circle the bags.
The next inning things got interest
ing. and when the smoke had cleared,
and the score keepers had gotten in
their work, it was found that four
runners had been checked in at the
counting station. In the fifth, just for
luck, the Props took another run,
while in the seventh, one more of their
members touched the four corners of
the diamond.
The Engineers were heavy on with
the poultry produce. For seven long
innings, there was nothing doing.
Finally. in the eight round, matters
got desperate with them and one sue
ceeded in making the rounds. That
was all there was doing for the en-
gineers.

TENNIS men MEET
Plans For New Courts Are Per
fected-Much Enthusiasm
is Evidenced.

Plans for the opening of the Town
and Country tennis courts and for the
building of two additional courts were
drawn up at meeting of the tennis
committee in the offices of George B.
Clifford. Besides the committee there
were several of the more enthusiastic
tennis players of the club present and
from the tone of the meeting the COM
ing year will be the nest successful
in the history. At the meeting it was
proposed to hire a man for the entire
season, to do nothing more than care
for the tennis courts. The courts will
be opened up within a few weeks or
as soon as the weather permits and
from that on they will be busy at all
hours of the day.
It is planned to have the tennis
meets with Crcckston and other towns
this year as in past seasons and the
year promises to be a lively one in
tennis circles.
The officers of the Town and Coun-
try Tennis club are Alvin P. Clifford,
president; Fred Wilson, secretary,
and Rev. ]. K. Burleson. treasurer.

In the Sporting World


Duluth, Mimi, April "a. - Fake
wrestling in Duluth will no longer be
tolerated by the police department,
and an edict to this effect was issued
last evening by Chief Troyer. The
police have been long-suffering and
have been more than fair in giving
all Of the mountebank mat artists an
opportunity to operate before Duluth
people. A number Of deals have been
pulled OF in the past however that
soured Chief Troyer. and from now
on, every effort will be made to make
the sport clean or Danish the game
entirely.
Il believe that this match between
Beell and Maynard, which is to be
pulled in this city In the very near
future will be fake" said the chief
last evening. "Of course it is diff
cult matter to determine just what
is a fake. but you can depend upon
it that we will not be idle. will
have number Of patrolmen present
at the MaynardBeell match and If
they should determine that it is a
fake, they will be instructed to stop
the bout and force the management
to refund the price of admission.
mo betting of any kind will be
tolerated for one moment and on this
point the law will be very rigidly en-
forced. OF course the average man
should know that Maynard is no
match for Beell and that the contest
would not go ten minutes If Beell
wanted to work. This alone brands
it as a fixed affair. but there are heaps
Of gulltble people who can be led to
place their money in mostly any kind
of proposition"
This stand of Chief Troyer's will be
roundly applauded by the general
public and by the sporting fraternity
in particular.
Fakers have done much to ruin one
of the greatest and most scientific
sports there is, and wherever they
turn up they should be squelched. If
the public could only be taught to
withhold its patronage. the takers
would have to go to the cleaners and
suck the big lemons which they ped
die.

wouldn't get ratified in the ring. I'd
