ference in the population of the cities
of the proposed circuit and ven
should Minneapolis, with its greater
population to draw from, he able to
put a corking team in the field, such a
team would probably Job the Central
International of all interest as a league
race. There does not appear to be
n great demand on the part of the
patrons for more baseball thar is fur
nished by the association team.
Doubtless Minneapolis crowds look
very tempting to the C.-I. magnates
or promoters. but CT. promoters
might as we'll remember right at the
start thai a good grade of baseball is
essential to maintain such crowds.
The present C.-I. form of pastiming
would hardly draw a corporal's guard
in Minneapolis.
There are many obstacles to over
come In the way of entering Minneap-
oils in addition to the gamble with
public taste. The association will have
to give permission for such an invasion
and as Minneapolis is one of the best
drawing cities in the league. the other
magnates will probably be a little slow
about giving their consent to the in
vasion. There have already been signs
for a year or two that the public is
getting about all the baseball it wants
or needs. In fact nc matter from
angle the question of CT. invasion
of Minneapolis is viewed, 1t appears
to be a thorny path. No one in Min
neapolis is clamoring for CT. base
ball or even more baseball. The noise
is coming from the outside-almost
entirely.

the ~advisability Of continuous baseball.
The grade of baseball of the Cen

dinarily furnished by the association
and a Minneapolis team in such a
league would be far from the grade
Of the Millers. OF course. the ex-
pense Of maintaining a Central-Inter-

than that incident to maintaining an
association team. but there is serious
doubt as to whether the patrons Of
baseball in Minneapolis would fall for
the bush outfits with sufficient inan-

city profitable or at all possible.

KOSSICK N
POTTS ARE READY
i. FOR CONTEST

Fargo. n. D.. July 24.-Interest in
the boxing contest in Fargo Thursday
night between kossick of Moorhead
and Jimmie Potts of Minneapolis is
not confined TO Fargo alone. Fol-
lowers Of the boxing game in Grand
Wahpeton have written they would
be here to witness the bout. Many
outsiders will undoubtedly take in
the affair.
Jimmie Potts is we'll known all
over the northwest as n of the
cleverest opponents of the game. He
has taught boxing for years and has
the scientific end of the game down
now till he is an artist. Probably no
blocking and covering up. 1t is a
treat to see him in action.
Kossfck is a more rugged, rough
and ready boxer than Potts. While
he is not so artistic in his work he
has developed a splendid defense and
Is a much more aggressive boxer. He
Is strong and bores in at all stages
OF the game SO s%trenuously that he
invariably keeps his opponents busy.
The bout between these two men
should be a splendid scientific ex-
hibition and 1t will attract the inter.
est of lovers of the boxing game in
Fargo and Moorhead and from out
side points.
The contest will be in the Fargo
opera house Thursday night under tho
auspices Of the athletic club. The
doors will be open at $3.50. the pre-.
liminaries will start at 1890. The
main contest between Kossick and
Potts will be started at IL O'Clock
sharp. 1t will be decided on points.
Kossick has returned from the
lakes where he has been in tra ipire
for some days. Potts will arrive in
the city Thursday. He has been
training at Cooks gym in Minne-
apolis.

Just as soon as the warm
weather comes we begin to plan
for the vacation or the weekend
trip to be spent in the woods or
at the shore. for nothing appeals
to the worker more than a
change Of air and to get out near
to nature. but the fun is some
times overshadowed, as. for in
stance. when on a fishing trip a
hook happens to become fastened
in the f1eshy part Of the finger.
The little barb at the end
impossible to get the hook out of
slit in the flesh.
For this it is necessary to have
a sharp knife. so that the flesh
will not he torn more than is
necessary. The cut is made on
the side where the barb is and
when this is slipped out the slit
must be thoroughly cleansed.
otherwise blood poisoning may
result.
The wound should be washed
with a good antiseptic such as
%listerine. or diluted carbolic acid.
However. it must he remem-
bered that in binding up the cut
there must be no adhesive plas-
ter. but it should have a wet
dressing and a bandage. Closing
1t will almost certainly bring
about suppuration.
One forgets while planning
these trips that these is a posi-
bility OF injury or sickness, and
these r just as likely to come
at the seashore as in the woods.
The mere mention Of chills in
hot weather brings an incredu-
lous smile to the face Of the
pleasure seeker. and vet what is
more likely to happen to the
woman who exercises vigorously
in the hot sun and then cools
off rapidly by sitting in a damp
place?
To counteract a chill put the
feet into a pail OF waite as hot
as can be borne in which a hand
full of mustardy has been dis
solved. The sufferer should then
so to bed under a liberal supply
of blankets and take a hot drink
of lemonade.
Another unpleasantness which
the sailing trip may bring about
is seasickness. Outside in the
choppy water or on the long
swells the city dweller will find
her stomach mishehaving. and
nothing will so quickly take all
the pleasure out of a day.
Among the favorite remedies
are champagne. whiskey and gin
ger ale, mineral waters with a
dash OF bitters and lemonade
without sugar. but these are only
useful in some cases, while with
others they only serve to aggra-
vate the sickness.
Some relief may be gained by
pressing the stomach against a
hard object.
. One longs for sympathy at
such a time. but small satisfac-
ton will be gained from those
who are immune to seasickness.
for they say it is best to be sick
for a few hours and that it will
do n a world of good.
If the vacation trip includes a
sea voyage it will be found of
great benefit to keep the bowels
OPEN. To drink a small glass of
some aperient water upon arising
in the morning has an excellent
effect in preventing seaSickness.

amateur record at the invitation

which will probably stand for some
time. The premier marksman of the
state was neve in better form and

two events Duis missed two, scoring

The shoot was one of the most
pleasant events in the history of the
club. There were seven visitors from
out of the city.

work was poor at every stage, and as
a result he was replaced in the even

inning on bases and balls and strikes.

of opening session of the third days.
session of the Republican convention
The immense crowd, nearly 14,OOO per-
sons, who had fought their way into
the hall had only to go out again. The
only business done was the prayer and
the motion of Watson of Indiana to
recess until p. m. The ostensible
reason for the recess was the fact that
the credentials committee at work upor
the contests affecting the personnel OF
the convention had only fairly begun
it's work.
In anticipation of an exciting day in
the convention persons began crowding
the doors of the Coliseum before :
o'clock. An additional police detail was
added to those already on duty. All
doorkeepers and policemen were shift
ed around following complaints that
persons had been admitted to the tive
previous sessions without credentials.
The discovery yesterday that tickets
and badges were being dropped from
the windows to persons on the outside
caused an extra squad of policemen to
be placed before the windows.
In spite of the many persons outside,
orders were issued that no one would
be admitted except employees and
newspaper men until IL O'Clock. The
assistant sergeant t-at-arms and ushers.
about 1000. also were excluded.
Crowd Is Excited.

ton was developing nearly mile away
