Norfolk, the tournament q Of
1909"
Norfolk quite unexpectedly, Thurs
day afternoon was handed the sum
mer's state firemen's tournament. The
tournament was not asked for, but
came as free will Offering from the
convention.
The tournament committee reported
late in the afternoon that the situation
spelled Norfolk and that no other town
seemed to be in a position to handle
1t. Where the tournament has often
brought financial loss in other places,
1t has always paid out when held here.
Norfolk is given the tournament
and has to take it. Norfolk is the only
live place in the state" was the way
President Martensen put it. And the
retiring board of control backed him.
viii Undoubtedly Take 1t.
The local officers and members OF
the executive committee of the Nor
folk department were taken by sur
prise and asked for time to canvass
the situation here. Sentiment, as far
as could be learned, was in favor OF
having the tournament here.
In the election of officers Vice Presi-
dent Galley of Columbus was advanced
to president, Second Vice President
Elliott of West Point to the post OF
first vice, while e. A. Miller of Kear-
new was retained as secretary, being
given an ovation.
The contest over second vice presi-
dent resulted: j. II. Parker, Albion,
1913; j. w. Butt, Nebraska City, 81.
Herman Winter of Norfolk was
elected treasurer by unanimous vote
The convention will adjourn leaving
the tournament open to Norfolk and
with every prospect that the city will
accept the offer.

For the five places on the board OF
control, seven men were nominated:

When the barrier went up Pins and

Restigouche. with Guy Burns in the sad

cut out a fast pace. James r. keene's
Meddler filly, Atf1iction. went with him,
and together they raced like team

Madden half a dozen lengths away. With
half mile to go, Dugan began to

NEW YORK, June 16.-In the midst OF

Doc Newton, otherwise known as Eus-
tace. is 10 make his annual debut in
minor league society. Catcher Pauxtis
of the University of Pennsylvania has
also been turned back for seasoning. He
goes to Altoona of the Tri-State, while
the doctor reyerts TO Joe kelly's Toronto
Eastern Leaguers. Whether Doc has
been turned back for seasoning remains
TO be seen. He has that happy faculty
of bobbing back into polite company
short vacation. one Of those oddities
who packs everything in the little ring,
but lacks the real punch with the top
notcherS.
Newton's checkered career could well
furnish budding base ball melodramatists
great scope for fancy. Four times he has
come back from the brush even more
promising than when turned out TO pas
ture. The big southpaw seems to have
everything but luck. In the big league
he hits too many of his opponents bats
for singles, doubles. triples and home
runs to win even a fair portion of his
games. But. at that. its about even
money that he will be back in the big

He hauled his Indian sign from the deep

initial sack with one down in fifth. but

The game that Ellis twirled for the
Baptists was of the sort that wins nine

The hits registered against him came in
