Chalmers Speaking with Joe Field a
few days ago he remarked to The For
UNI man that this had been decided on
after mature consideration and con-

a. recent visit to that city, the company
desiring that the entire enregy of the

The Gate city people now control
the entire state of North Dakota and

FANS PREFER new
men TO DISCARDS

In it's effort to build up a ball team
by securing young blood any club will
have the unanimous support of it's pa
irons. In view of the fact that the
system Of taking the 'liscards from 9TH
er teams, and that at fancy figures,
has always proven a failure, any sort
of change in the methods OF trying
to strengthen would be popular. But
there are several instances where ball
teams have been developed in COM
paratively short time by the acquisi-
tion of youngsters, and this has done
much to make this method of improv-
ing conditions considered the proper
one to pursue.
1t will be a whole lot better to go
along couple of seasons down in the
race If the. public can see that two or
three players are in the meantime be-
ing developed into stars than to have
the patrons watch a lot of players who
once had ability deteriorate and the
team showing nothing better than an
inclination to be last.
What is more, the salaries paid these
players who at one time or another
were entitled to top figures greatly ex-

trying to make his mark would Yepect.
Once a player received big salary
and remains in fast company he will
not stand for a reduction. What is
more, the club which secures such a
player does not dare TO cut his pay
for fear that he will grow disgruntled
and not deliver his best work In this
way the salary list has been kept up
to high figure without the result be-
ing obtained.
Then. too, there is whole lot OF
difference in the spirit of the player
who knows he has seen his best days
and the fellow who is trying to make
reputation for himself. 1t is the lat
ter who will make winning team, for
the former does not care to take long
chances. being satisfied to go along and
hold his own.

No Visit TO America.

London, Aug. 6.-The stars in their
courses have fought against the Old
Etonians. and they are compelled to
abandon their project of going to Am
erica in an effort to regain the Inter
national Polo Cup for England. Their
challenge was of so sporting a charac-
ter that everyone will regret the mis-
fortune which has overtaken the team,
causing it TO be broken up for the
remainder Of the season.
For several weeks past Mr.. Francis
Greenfell's striking arm has caused him
trouble, but after standing down in
several matches he played for England
against Ireland and for the Etonians
in the Championship Cup. These games
unhappily aggravated the trouble in
the opinion Of Sir Alfred Fripp, who
finds that the muscles of the forearm
are seriously ruptured. This will pre-
vent Mr.. F. Grenfell from playing for
six weeks, and in these circumstances
1t has been decided to cancel the chal-
lenge to America.

BRITISH CYCLING
MEETFAILS TODRAW

The ninth annual cycling champion
ship of the British empire at Exeter
did not draw such a big crowd as 1t
usually does. Some excellent finishes
were seen. but an exception was the
somewhat sensational manner in which
McNeely, of Ireland, ran away with
the mile championship, For the first
time in the. history of the champion
ships the honors in the three events
were divided between England, Ireland
and Scotland: w. j. Bailey of Eng
land won the quarter mile, of which
Ben Jones, of Wigan, was the holder,
but owing to his machine being dam
aged did not defend HIS title in the
mile and ten miles. Nm the half mile
race, McNeely was allowed to burst
away alone, and he was 100 yards or
so to the good before Payne and Flynn
seemed to wake up to the fact. II was
then too late to make up the lost
ground, though both men rode grandly
in the endeavor. The result cannot
be less calling to the Rose and Thistle
when it is considered that McNeely
succumbed to Jones and Flynn in the
second heat of the quarter mile; the
he only reached the final mile by rea-
son Of his being the fastest heat. He
won an event which has always been
taken by an Englishman. The home
country on the days racing lost tow
of the three championships, which she
gained last year at Glasgow In the ten
mile race Dan Flynn, of Scotland, won
by a length from v. L. Johnson, Of
England, who came in second with A.
Lindsay, of Scotland, third.

Baltimore, Aug. 6.-After fruitless
search for health in Arizona, Joe Cans.
former champion lightweight boxer is
returning here to die surrounded by
his family and friends. Seward months
ago he left here and went to Phoenix
Ariz., but found himself growing
worse after being there only a few
weeks, and removed to Prescott which

Before leaving Baltimore, Cans felt
that after remaining in Arizona sew
eral weeks he would be able to con-
t.nue on TO Reno and see the Jeffries-
johnson fight, but it was no go, and
the best he could do was to read the
dispatches sent on from the ringside.
Cans removed to Arizona upon the
recommendation of his old rival and
the man who took away his laurels,
Battling Nelson. Cans last fight was
with Jabez White Of England in New

showing. He was always one of the

put on the gloves in one Of the spare
rooms Of the commission house. Al
the nearby Monumental theatre weekly
battles royal were held as an after at
traction. Cans found he could survive
these battles royal and make some
extra money and they were his real
beginnings as pugilist. Among the at
endants was AL Herford, who. with
lis parents, was interested in a saloon
n Canton avenue near Broadway.
Ierford's interest in boxing at that
