WALKER WILL BE
BACK AT MINNESOTA

Minneapolis, Aug. 2s.-Despits per-
sistent reports to the contrary, big
Jim Walker, last years All-American
tackle, will in all probability be back
at his old position on the left wing
Of the Minnesota football team this
fall.
Walker reached Minneapolis We'd
nesday, after a restful summer in Los
Angeles and other California points,
and is staying at the Psi Upsilon
house in southeast Minneapolis.
Walker has said that he is as yet un-
decided as to what college he would
enter in September. He has busted
off some Of his old books and at pres
ent is studying up with view to a
future "con" examination. When the
registrar got through checking up the
Walker page in his scholastic ledger
last June, he announced that James
had drawn conditions in two sub
jects.
The news did not all the big tackle

WISCONSIN WILL
HAVE GREAT TEAM
Gridiron Candidates Will Re-
port at Camp Randall on
September 18.

Madison, Wis, Aug. 2S.-Early in
dications point to heavy and fast
Wisconsin eleven for the coming fall,
and the latest revelation is that the
squad will average no less than 1873
pounds. 1t has been generally known
that the new team would show more
"beef" than last years, but it was
not thought possible to round up so
much weight to begin with as now
seems within the hands of the man
agement.
September 18 Is the date fixed by
Coach Richards for calling together
his recruits for the first practice at
Camp Randall. There will be field
of forty candidates, some of them al
ready stars, and speculation is now
engaged in the probabilities of each
to make the team. Among the most
likely of these are the following:
Pollock (190), fullback; Tanberg
1S5), and Bright (1S5), halfbacks;
Tormey (150), or Moll (15O), quarter
back; Captain Buser (195), and Van
Cant (190), ends; Mackmiller, (195)
and Roberts 190), tackles; Pierce
(201), and Neprud (1SS), guards;
With this combination of beef and
Drawn, not to mention considerable
representation of skill, it needs little
to convince any Wisconsin student
that exceptional possibilities are
ahead for Cardinal football. With
1853 pounds in the line, every ounce
backed up by speed and nerve, a
practically invincible defense would
seem to be possible. The back field
is also heavy and fast.
Captain Buser Busy.
The summer has not passed with
out ceaseless study of the situation
by Coach Richards and Captain Buser
and they have kept in touch with can
didates and maintained their interest
in fall training. Coach Richards, who
Is an old Wisconsin star and one of
the best in the business in his day,
has exceptional success in training
western elevens. For several years
past he has been in charge of ath-
letfcs in Colorado institutions.
Captain Buser is authority for the
statement that all of the stronger
men are eligible at present as far as
scholastic work is concerned. He is
confident personally that Wisconsin
faces one of the best football sea-
sons in her history and that cham
pionship is entirely within the bounds
Of possibility.
Another attempt will be made this
year to bring about a clash between
Wisconsin and Marquette. There is
little chance Of getting together in
1911, however, as Wisconsin's sched-
ule was completed long ago. Seven
games are on the calendar this year.

southern cross. He will sail on the
steamship Orvieto, which leaves Eng
land on September 20. Should his
fight with Wells take place on the
thirtieth of the month Johnson will
have to travel by rail to Marseilles,
France, and catch the steamship
there.
OF course, If the fight comes off a
few days ahead of that date Johnson
will go aboard the ship here. John
sons desire to go southwark so
quickly after his fight with the Eng
lish champion indicates that he pro-
poses to make the contest as brief
as possible.
Under his contract with Mcintosh,
johnson is guaranteed 100000 for his
trip, but the amount that he will earn
in the next year from it is no less
than a quarter of million, provided
he succeeds in beating the men, Lang,
McVey and Langford. whom Mcintosh
has selected for him.

MANAGER DOOM HAS
BEEN INDICATED

Philadelphia, Aug. 2s.-Manager
Charley Doom has been vindicated.
Several weeks ago, Charley was pan
ned throughout the league for holding
fast to Pitcher Eddie Stack, and the
bleacherites at Fogel Field groaned
every time he went into the box.
Doom was asked time and again
by scribes and fans why he did not
make trade for Stack or get rid of
him, as Eddie was doing no pitching.
Stack warmed up every day in front
Of the clubhouse. enough to have
pitched forty games, but Charley still
persisted in keeping him out of the
box.
The only thing Doom would say
when any one would ask him why he
was keeping Stack, would go like
this: "He. is going to make a star
if he ever finds himself. He has the
! goods and do not intend to part
with him."
Stack, as a warm-up pitcher, was
making Jimmy Dygert's record look
was doing Eddie good. But few peo-
pie could see Dooin's judgment at
all, but now they are convinced.
When Stack was sent in to oppose
the Cardinals, the fans shouted their
disapproval and when Eddie walked
six men in the first three innings of
the first game he pitched, they were
driven to desperation, but all this
time the Cards could not tally
Before the game was over, Stack
was an idol The same fans who
were wondering why Doom allowed
him IN romoin Uith tho oIuh 1yoro
saying that he should have been
worked regularly all year. Doom
contended that Stack was not right,
and Stack himself admitted it. Mike
Doolan discovered that Stack was
right and picked the right time to
send him into the box.

AGG|ES SCHEDULE
NOT YET READY
Will Probably Play Six Games
Prefer to Play U. N. D.
on November 4.

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 2S.-The A. c..
football schedule for this year is not
completed although it Is nearing per-
fection in the hands of Manager
/ Wheeler. It is probable that there
will be six games in the schedule this
| year.
The state science school at Wahpe-
ton will probably open the season
with game here. This will merely
be practice contest and will give
Coach Rueber q chance to get q line
on his men.
The dates for the big game with
the university have not been definite
ly settled as yet. It's Fargo's turn
this year to have the annual battle
and the great gridiron contest be-
tween the two largest state schools
will be settled at Athletic park. The
two dates that are being considered
to say that game will be the last one
played during the season. However,
November has the preference Of
the two dates and will probably be
given the choice.
The annual battle with Fargo COL
lege and the A. G. will come short
time before the university. game. 1t
has been announced that this game
might be played on November 4, but
this hardly seems probable at this
writing.
The farmer eleven will take trip
into Minnesota and South Dakota
this year. The name of the Minneso-
ia team has not been announced, but
negotiations are under way with
Hamline. The South Dakota game
will probably be played with Huron
at Huron, 8. d.
The South Dakota agricultural col
lege warriors will again be seen in
Fargo this year. The Brookings boys
will play here against the Aggies Oc-
tober %. This date has been agreed
upon by the managers of both teams.
The southern Aggies are fast and
aggressive and last year they defeat
ed the local school in hotly contest
ed and spectacular game. to o.
Coach Rueher is expecting some
, new material in this year that will
strengthen the team In the backf1eld
and in the line What he has lacked
has been heavy men who we're fast.
Captain Schroeder will be in school
to lead the line men and get down
the field on punts. The outlook for a
winning Aggie team is especially
bright.

TIGERS SLUMP IS
PERMANENT THING

Cleveland, Ohio. Aug. 2s-Detroit's
slump, according to Captain Harry
Davis, is permanent proposition, and
the next manager of the Cleveland
team gave some interesting commen-
taries on the future of the American
league clubs, basing his statement on
his knowledge of the worlds cham
pions.
Detroit is gone" said Captain
Harry, "and there is no getting
around that fact. Now. the Tigers
have had great training trip. They
had the batting practice which was
denied to the rest Of the teams by the
weather conditions at the camps
where they trained.
"Take those twenty out Of twenty
two games. What did that mean?
Well, 1t meant that while the other
teams in the league went into the
earlier part of the season without any
keen eyes to bat, the Tigers had ev-
eryth1ng in their favor. That ac-
counts for the games which those
young pitchers won.
Look at that outfit now. Do you
see those pitchers going in and do
ing anything against the other teams,
now that the hitters have got their
eyes back? You bet your life they
don't, what's more, you won't.
"Now, l want to tell you that If
Connie Mack gets hold of another
pitcher, the club that wins the pen
nant for the next two or three years
will have to beat the Athletics.
There isn't anything to it; and
take 1t from me that's the club that
the winners will have to beat.
don't think myself that anybody is
going to beat them in that time at
least, and If a manager is. wise he'll
build his team to get in there when
the Mackmen start to get into a
slump.
That's the scheme that would
follow, and that's the only scheme
that cuts any ice. in my mind. But
it's tough old stunt to beat the Ath-
letics If they happen to hook another
good pitcher or two

Convict Released to Join His

The final chapter in a pretty
romance was written last week
when Governor Noel signed a
pardon for Hugo Myer, a convict
who was sentenced to serve two
years for forgery in Clay county.
Just prior to the time Myer
was convicted he became engaged
to Miss Mary Cecil Williams
Letherow, of Clay county.
When Myer was accused of forg
cry, his sweetheart, stood up for
him, and believed him innocent
even in the face of the evidence
which sent him to the peniten-
tiary, and promised to wait for
her convict lover to the end Of
his term.
Last January Miss Letherow.
accompanied by her father and
other relatives visited her sweet
heart on Rankin farm. The no
BILE girl expressed a willingness
to be married then and there if
permission be given. The ap-
peal of the lovers touched the
hearts of the hardened jailors and
they communicated with the
proper authorities and permission
was given to bring Myer to Jack
son and have the nuptials solem-
nized.
