ternoon after a run from st. Paul

spite the reports which were sent out

DISAGREEMENT
OVER PICTURES

New York March 16.-Pusilistic ex
perts, exsspoFting writers and a select
contingent of .prizehght fans here are
debating the question as to whether
Ad Wolgast is by right OF power the
worlds lightweight champion. The ar
gument results from differences of
opinion engendered from the Nelson
Wolgast fight pictures which were Of
fered for the first time to a1coterie of
invited sporting men.
All the experts admit that the fight
was the fastest and fiercest in the his
tory of the, ring. All admit that Mel
sen was still going after the little Ger
nan at the close. There the consensus
of opinion ceases. Some declare that
Nelson had the upper hand and was
backing Wolgast to the down-out club
when Referee Smith stopped the night.
Others insist that although Wolga st
might have sidestepped a little after
the twenty third round. the Dan never
had a chance from that time, that his
blows lacked steam and that he surely
would have been knocked out in anoth-
err three minutes
Only thirty five rounds were ex-
hibited. Demands for a return match
between the two men are already
becoming more insistent here on. ac-
count, Of the difference of opinion
which the pictures have caused.

CONSIDERS nell
GREATEST MATRON

Among all the famous matrons of
the harness racing turf, which one do
you consider the greatest?'
The above question was recently ask
ed Peter ". Johnson. the noted Micni-
gan trainer, and he promptly replied
Nell" Evidently noticing a look of
surprise on the face of the questioner,
Mr.. Johnston continued:
Again 1 say Nell, and when make
that statement refer to her greatness
as the dam Of the best and classiest
standard performers. In that respect
l consider she has no equal. Nell had
twelve colts, eleven of these with marks
below 2:30A. but as one Of these Vas
sar, beat that mark both rrotting and
pacing. she is credited with twelve in
the lists.
Nell was the first matron to have
four Of her foals in tn 2:1O list, while
she Is the only dam of two trotters and
two PAGERS in that select class. In ad-
dition to that she has to her credit a
third trotter with a record of 2:12h
and a third PAGER with a mark of
2:11A. or six in all better than 2:15.
That is certainly honor enough, a
record unedualed by any other matron
when IL comes to the production Of
standard performers really classy and
high grade as to speed, and speed
counts whole lot. Beautiful Bells is
frequently referred to as the greatest
Of the dams, but as producer of per-
formers with speed she is far below
Nelrs class, for while she has eleven
colts all trotters 70 her credit ONLY
one Of these Bell Flower, 2:12A, has
a mark below 2:15.
"NelI's foals were, as a rule, splen-
didly gated, trotting with that round.
even stride that is the Joy of every
trainer. while, on the other hand, the
get Of Beautiful Bells were generally
bad gated and they trained none too
well, either"
The above statement by Mr.. John
ston is an interesting one, particularly
to Michigan horse fanciers, who will
recall the fact that Nell was in the
'90s the queen of the great colony of
brood mares that fourished in the
golden era of the famous Kalamazoo
stock farm under the management of
the late Samuel A. Browne, in his time
one of the best known horse breeders
in America
Nell was not q prepossessing look
ing nag, far from it in fact. She was
about the size Of large pony, dim
inutive, rough coated and blind in one
eye. Her parentage wasn't Of the most
patrician type. proving she was a
freak In the harness horse world be-
cause. Of her success as a brood mare.

RADICAL CHANGES
AT PURPLE" U.

Radical change in the athletic sys-
tenn. at Northwestern university are
due in the immediate future as re-
suit of a meeting Of a number of the
public alumni recently. 1t was de-
cidco that the only recourse for North
western was complete revision of the
coaching system ami lew coaches,
which is I'M erpreted to mean that
Athletic Director Billesby and Coach
Herr may be let out to make way for
the alumni coaches.
The meeting was attended by Presi-
dent Abram w. Harris of the univer-
sity and a number of old and two
present athletic captains The ex-
captains who were there are A. H.
Culver. Harry = aleu- and Alton John
SON. Roy Jackson, the present lead
er of the baseball team and John
Manley, who has been elected to head
the 1910 football squad were also pres
ent. Besides these, there were a num-
Der of former students who have kept
UP their interest in the athletic well
fare of the school.
The entire situation was gone over
in a thorough manner and the final
conclusion was that the only hope was
a complete change. Comparison with
other schools showed that the North
western coaches had as much, If not
In some instances, more, material to
choose from than did some OF those
schools from whom the purple was
forced to accept defeat, and that II
athletics were properly conducted at
the Evanston institution there was no
reason why Northwestern should not
turn out winning teams.
It was decided that there would be
four or five alumni coaches to assist
whoever should be selected as regular
coach for the football team next fall,
complaint, having been made at the
meeting that there has been too much
tendency on the part of the coaches
In the past to fatty refuse the prefer
ed assistance of the graduates.

HERE'S SOMETHING NEW.
Five-Tsam League Proposed by Devils
Lake.

rive cam League Proposed by Devils
Devils Lake Journal: There is talk
of organizing an international tase.
ball league to consists of the cities OF
Brandon and Winnipeg in Manitoba
and Grand Forks and Fargo in North
Dakota
An organization of a five-team
league to include Devils Lake would be
more feasible, and be more likely to
prove a success. Starting from Bran
don a team could come to Devils Lake.
then to Fargo, then to Grand Forks,
then to Winnipeg and then to the place
of beginning and keep going around
the circle. In this way there would
be no doubling back over routes, and
ii would have the additional advan-
tage OF good train schedules.
A number Of Devils Lake baseball
fans are showing signs Of anxiety to
do something, and It seems reasonable
to suppose that a good team could be
organized and supported here.
If a five-team league is organized It
could be arranged to play games at
Devils Lake during Chautauqua. This
year the management will run excur-
sion trains from Brandon, Grand Forks.
Fargo, Rugby and other points and
IL is planned to greatly increase the
attendance.

they had embarked upon anything like
a prosperous one.
One of the great, IL not the greatest,
means of educating the public to. the
possibilities and later on the advant-
ages of the automobile was the intro
duction of racing. Competitive events
demonstrated the qualities of the au-
tomobile, and by the wide publicity
given to the performances of the COM
peting machines people throughout the
world began to grasp the potentiali-
ties of one of the most remarkable
inventions Of modern times. Not only
were the good points of the cars
brought out in racing, but the weak
ones from the CONSTITUTIONAL point OF
view were also discovered.
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1910-03-16

Slowly but surely, mainly as the re-
suit of racing, these weaknesses have
been eliminated; indeed, the improve-
ments have been so many that the au-
tomobile of today is regarded as an ap.
proximarely perfect piece Of machin.
cry.
AS to what would constitute a per-
feet car no one knows, otherwise they
might be built. Indeed, it is a we'll
grounded axiom that perfection is un-
attainable. The perfect automobile,
even from the mechanical point Of view
may never maGerialize. One thing that
is certain is, that automobiles through
out the world are now being construct
ed upon more or less standard ana
thoroughly defined lines.

aspiration of the Aberdeen Redmen's
basketball team, for championship hon
ors for South and North Dakota, were
shattered last evening when jamestown

on the strength, of the playing Of the
home team. The Redmen left for VAL

His Victory Over BritOn Puts Him in
Inc.

Harlem Tommy Murphy may be
lucky enough to get the next cham
pionship battle with Ad Wolgast be-
cause Of his victory over owen Moran
in San Francisco. However, Wolgast
cannot get an easier opponent than
Murphy. The New York fighter might
win from wolgast, having the same
fighting chance that any fighter has,
but he is not as good in long battle
as Moran He has not the punch and
staying quality. Moran, Dick Hyland,
Matty Baldwin and one or two other
fighters of the lightweight division
who are in this country now will make
a better opponent for Wolgast in a
forty-fi Ave round battle. Moran claimed
ne was robbed in Frisco. Judging
from the press accounts a draw would
not have been bad. Wolgast will not
be making bad move to sign up with
Murphy and keep the other challeng-
ers quiet It might prolong the time
for him to hold the championship.
