JOHNSON HAS A
FAST BASEBALL

Chicago, May 27.-Back to the gold
en- days when home runs were abun-
dant President B. B. Johnson of the
American League has devised a
scheme whereby the national game
will be made faster. He has obtain
ed baseball which is springer and
faster than the one now used and will
distribute it to the various clubs in
mis- league. The teams will try out
the ball in their practice and II it is
found satisfactory II will be used in
all championship games.
The ball is much the same as that
employed when Delehanty the First
used to whack out ten or twelve nome
runs during a game. In those times
such a brief hit as a double was
scorned. 1t had to be a triple or a
homer, nothing else went. If the ball
stands the test the patrons of the
American League will see an increase
in batting.
This means that the pitchers will
have to solve another kind of deliv-
cry. Just when the twirlers learn
delivery like the "spit ball." which
shuts off batting, then something
comes in which puts 1t up to them
again. The change in the pitching
distance put John Clarkson out of the
game. The fans will accordingly fol-
low the progress of the test with
great interest.

A. c. and CONCORDIA
Asgies Had a Regular Swatfest With
the concordias in Yesterdays
Baseball Contest.

The A. G. IA, Concordia 4, was the
result of the game across the river
yesterday afternoon. The aggies in
vaded the Minnesota stronghold and
came away with flying colors. Mon
sieur Murphy was Oh the firing line for
the farmers and he put the pill over
in such small form and in such zigzag
motions the Concordians could not dis
criminate between it and the atmos-
phere. He permitted only FIVE safe
hits while the A. G. fattened it's bat
ting average off Miller, the opposing
pitcher, to the tune of seventeen
bingles that were hit far, far away.
The aggies are at Wahpeton today
to play the School of Science.

Corbett Thinks Jack Johnson Has
Advantage Over Stanley Ketchel

Coffroth's club. July 5. for the worlds
lightweight championship. With these
two contests on the slate the pugilistic
pot ought to sizzle from now until the
Freferee counts ten over the prostrate
bodies OF the losers.
/ am disappointed. of course, in los
ing the opportunity of showing the
fighting world that Johnson is not my
superior, but, as have dismissed that
subject from my mind, I will devote
what / have to say to the probable
outcome OF the Johnson -KetcheI fight
and at different times between now
and the time the two enter the ring
write what may observe i'm the de-
velopment of the two men for battle.
There is wide impression already
throughout the sporting world that
Ketchel in making match with John
son bagged a good thing. And, so
far as Ketchels reputation goes. he
stands to lose nothing in meeting the
big black.
Up to the present time johnson has
whipped no one OF great Importance
except Burns, and there is no question
In my mind that Ketchel could also
have put Tommy away. KetcheI
might have whipped Burns in half the
time that johnson did. in fact, but
still there is this much to say in favor
of johnson: He did not have to do
his very best against Tommy nor did
he ever az any second OF the time
he was in the ring show what his de-
fensive strength was.
Johnson Has Physical Advantage.

pugiIism do that Ketchel has an even
chance with Johnson Far be ii from

J. j. Corbett writes: The fight fans
and ring critics all over the country
are harping because the leaders in
the pugilistic game were inclined to
sidestep challenges of all sorts, no
matter from what source they came.
Just when everybody had about given
up hopes Of a worlds championship
battle of any sort in the near future
Jack johnson signed articles to fight
Stanley Ketchel.
Scarcely had the echo of the an

school record established by r. Youngs
on May rs. 1907, which was 4:4O 3-5.
1t is only IL 40 seconds lower than
the best record ever made in a college
meet and only 30 4-5 seconds lower
than the best amateur record for the
world.
This is good showing for our local
high school and they feel confident
that he will lower this record at VAL

Cruikshank has two more years yet

chance of bringing the worlds record

Slow Bout.

Kansas City, Mo-. May 27.-Packey
Mcfarland of Chicago, last night won
ten round bout with Harry Trendall
of st. Louis, before the Empire Ath-
letic club.
The bout was devoid of spectacular
features, Mcfarland forcing the fight
ing most of the time and his opponent
covering up. At the end of the con-
test the Chicago fighter was hardly
marked but Trendall was considerably
bruised. Only at infrequent inter-
walls did Trendall attempt to carry the
lighting to his adversary.

Brocket N. D., May 27.-The fast
Edmore White Sox again went down
to defeat before the Brocket Giants
in the second game of the series, by a
score of 3 to /. Both teams played
great ball, the giants scoring their
three runs in the third on a spectacu-
lar squeeze play, and an opportune
double with basses filled.
Jenson was in the box for Edmore
His support was not as good as it
should have been. Narveson threw
a fine game for Brocket, allowing only
three hits. He whitfield ten men to
seven by Jenson.
