FREAK PLAYS OF 1909.

Frank Dick, the great Southern
league pitcher, performed the unusual
feat Of disposing of the crack City
league champions at Memphis, with.
out run, hit or base on balls and
without a runner reaching first base.
The professionals won, 9 to 0.
Homer Davidson, we'll known in
football circles, played the middle
field position for the Sandusky base
ball team in game with Ashtabula
at Sandusky and completed a double
play unassisted in the third inning,
the like of which had never before
been seen. He ran from his position
near the fence and caught with one
hand Creamers liner over the second
bag, just as 1t was about to fall upon
the ground. He kept on running and
tagged Van Alstyne, who, certain that
Dreamer had hit safely, was trying to
get to third from first. The play re-
tired the visitors, as one man was al
ready out, and robbed them of their
only chance to score. Sandusky won,
10 to 0.

SLOAN GREATEST JOCKEY
butte to American Whom Britons
Ruled or the Track.

King Edwards trainer, Richard
Marsh, who has been giving his views
of present-day jockeys in London pub
LEGATION says: Riding and training
has never been the same since the
Americans came over, about 1899, and
unsettled everything. The butcher
boy crouch on the withers' style of
riding is the curse of racing at the
present time. 1t has resulted in bad
riding, foul riding, and in tanning more
horses than ever was the case before
the Americans came over.
1T is all mistake" says the royal
trainer, Ito think Sloan was a jockey
of this sort. He had perfect hands,
the best have ever known jockey
to possess, and he was certainly one
of the best l have ever known. If he
made the running he did it at his own
pace-he was such wonderful judge
of pace. You didn't see him bicketing
a horse along from start to finish and
doing everything possible to break its
legs and it's heart"

Jeff is Eaqer to Fight.

Jim Jeffries is back from Europe
and talk of fight between him and
Jack Johnson, title holder in the
heavyweight class, is hot again. That
Jeffries really intends to fight the big
black seems conclusively settled, and
a meeting between the big pugs Is
scheduled to take place In Chicago,
where final articles are to be signed
and negotiations with club owners
made for putting on the battle. 1t Is
believed that Jimmy Coffroth will be
the successful bidder for the battle.
Hugh Mcintosh has not given up hope
of getting the battle for his Australia
club, but the San Francisco man IS
believed to have an understanding
with Johnson and Jeffries has ex-
pressed preference for a battle in this
country.
The question of a referee probably
Is one that will cause trouble be-
tween the battlers. Among those
spokep Of are Charley Eyton Of Los
Angeles, Ed Smith of Chicago and
otto Floto Of Denver.

Western league by a remarkable Sc.
ries Of games, the winner being unset
tied until the very last ball was
thrown. Des Moines won over Sioux
City by just two points. Sioux City
stood at the head Of the column, with
Des Moines second. Sioux City was
scheduled to play two games against

the championship In the American
association. From the first few games

of the list several times. Finally
Louisville began to nose to the front

For month 1t was almost certain

thus placing Pittsburg In the lead in

s1.oo PER YEAR

While in Cresco last week John M.
Cannon informed us that his plans
were perfected for removing in short
time to Ritzville, Wash, where he has
formed partnership for the general
practice of law with Judge w. w.
Zent of that place. The Judge is CON-
paratively young man but is account
ed one of the best lawyers in that state
and with a practice exceeded only by
the leading attorneys of the big cities.
Since leaving Cresco about four years
ago, Mr.. Cannon has met with much
success in the practice of law in st.
Paul, and we rejoice that his widened
experience in the law has fitted him to
enter still better and more lucrative
field of work where his ability and err
ergy will be of mutual advantage to
his partner and to himself.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Owens mourn
the loss of their second son, John, aged
ten, who died yesterday morning after
an illness of but few days. AS we
understand the facts, the boy had been
ailing some since Thursday but not so
seriously as to seem that a physician
was necessary until Sunday evening,
but the case was not pronounced diph-
liberia until the death of the boy the
following morning. A sad feature of
the affair was the absence of the father
on business trip to Minnesota. He
could not be reached but arrived home
on the afternoon train knowing moth
ing of his loss until taken aside and so
informed by waiting friends. The sor-
rowing family have the sympathy OF
the entire community, and the united
prayer is that the family may be spared
further affliction.
