JAPS FOR
THE OLYMPIC GAMES

New York. Dec. 26.-According to
some sporting notes from Toxic. Japan
the athletic authorities there have al
ready started their try-outs for the
Olympic games. Like other nations,
they are not going to wait till the last
minute to see the class Of material
they have. but are taking time by
the forclock. The first event to be
tried by the Japs was the marathon.
and IL Is said that Il. string Of nearly
400 went over the full classic distance
of &c miles and 3S5 yards. In the ac-
count giving the description OF the
race. the name of the winner is care
fully omitted, but that makes no diff
fcrnce anyway. for even were it given
only a small percentage of the world
would know how to get their tongues
What the account did not fail to men,
ton was that the winner beat the
record by eleven minues. AS there
Is a wide range and classification of
Marathon records it is impossible to
which one the heather tlier
bowled over.
Since the Olympic revival there have
been five big MaratnonS. thai is. those
In connection with the Olympic games.
The best time made sc far is 2:51:23
80 and this was made on the original
course from the village of Marathon
to the stadium at Athens in 1906. The
runner was Sherring of Canada. and
had not the day been SO warm and
the roads SO fearfullS dusty he would
surely nave run much faster. For the
Jap to run eleven minutes faster than
Sherring's mark Is a highly meritori-
Gus feat. and if he should repeat it at
Stockholm he will need some watch
ing. On the books the fastest time for
rI0 colo dicf0n1o l1. ~, ,aau<o,,,. &,
2:36:26 LIS by Matt Maloney on Dec.
rs. 1908. and 1t is noteworthy as being
the worlds best mark.
The critics have it, Of course, that
there was something queer about the
measurements Of the course. but Ma
loney raj a very fine race indoors in
the amateur marathon. and it is just
possible that his race on the record
day was all right. Should it be posi-
BILE that it was Maloney's mark the
Jap tackled and that he beat 1t by
eleven mintes. then it is as we'll for our
long distance wonders to stay at home
from Sweden. for on that form they
would be beaten miles. The theory adj
vanced for so early trials by the ia
panese is that the men vol turn out
to be the best will from now on re-
ceive a special course Of training at

END IS F0RESEEN
Of M|NNY: LEAGUE
Superior Club Officials De-
clare the Association. Is
Tottering

superior. Wis. Dec. 27.-The new
baseball league movement headed by
Lew Drill, manager of the Superior
Mihny league team its first sesOn, is
received with favor by the local club
packers, but not with the >nember-
ship as proposed, and IL the Minny
breaks up. as is now thought certain.
the local club owners will undoubted-
~ go in for the new circuit.
The proposition to put Virginia in
the circuit is not favored here for
the reason thai it is too close to the
twin ports and for the further reason
h a there arc 81 number of men there
with money. who would pursue the
same tactics which it is charged were
used In Winona, where it has been
claimed the manager had all the
sible material. any amount over the
league schedule being paid by these
men.
Forced 10 Go Over Salary Limit.
The result was that all the other
teams in the league were forced to
violate the salary rule In order to
have any show at all. That the same
thing would happen in the new league
1t Virginia is in. is predicted here.
Grand Forks or other suitable loca.
tfon for a team on the road from the
twin city or the twin ports to Winni-
peg is suggested by Superior men as
a substitute for Virginia. The other
cities would be the twin city, twin
ports and Winnipeg.
There is no evidence of any back
down in the matter Of refusing to
play in the Minny league. and officers
Of the Superior club express them
selves as being satisfied that the re-
naming towns in the circuit do not
expect to play. either. but are simply
attempting to force the twin ports
clubs to buy their release and then
after dividing the money to disband.
This. it is stated. will never be agreed
to. Superior will be in a different
league or none at all next season, they
say

VIEW Of
LEAGUE QUESTION
Hopes of Grand Forks to En-
ter Baseball Again Reach
That City

Duluth Herald: Grand Forks is the
latest city that want to get into a
new league with Duluth. Letters to
h effect have been received by some
OF the local baseball men and dis
patches to the Herald tell the Same
story. It is the aim Of the Grand
Forks people. according to the local
letters. to get into a league with Du-
luth. Superior. Winnipeg, Fargo and
several other towns.
No action has been taken here as
yet in regard to baseball for the COM
ing Those interested at the
head Of the lakes are waiting. with
hope behind the stove. to see what ac-
ton may be taken at the American
association meeting, which is set for
the present week. Should the mag
mates of the A. A. by any freak of fate.
decide to let the Blue Grass league
into Louisville, the Minny into the
twin cities and the Ohio State into
to enter the Ohio capital, something
will be set In motion.
While no definite plans have been
announced for a meeting Of some OF
the baseball III interested in the
formation of n league. and nothing
has been done as yet in regard to
withdrawing from the Minny league,
several letters have been received
from baseball men in Winnipeg and
Brandon relative to the organization
of a new league.
1t is generally believed that some
action will he taken during the COM
ing month. 1t is also practically r
tain that the two cities at the head of
the lakes will no remain in the Min
ny league, as tho league Is constituted
at the present time.
There is no money in the Minny for
either Of the W. cities at the head
of the lakes and the men behind
baseball know that fact full we'll. A
chance to break into the twin cities
and Winnipeg will mea a future for
baseball here. and the opportunity, il
it comes. will probably be eagerly
seized upon.

Pollock re-entered the courtroom and

registered 1000. then glanced at his
watch and announced that the case
would continue.
The clock system at the Cass county
courthouse went all to pieces this
morning.
For several days the men at the
treasurer's Office have been getting to
work early, according to the Gilbertson
clock. The corps Of deputies in the
sheriff's office have been compelled to
look at big timepiece that was al
ways several hours away from the set
time.
