of my queer adventures on the road ii
early days, said Richard Garlic. There
had been a fatal accident at the rail
road crossing In a little Pennsylvania
town, and my company was tied UP in
the hamlet for a day or two. The onls
excitement, until we were able to get
away, was the coroner's inquest, anC
so ON of us attended.
The coroner, a pompous old fellow
who magnified conscientiously both hi,
office and Its incumbent, had impanel,
led a Jury for the inquest.
There was only one witness OF thu

coal mines, who could understand nj

NEW RULES FOR
/ WORLDS SERIES
SOME EXCELLENT SUGGESTIONS
THAT ARE ADVANCED By THE
GREAT JOHN MGRAw FOR IN
CREASING INTEREST IN THE Ma
TIoNAL GAME.

The worlds series rules will most
likely be amended before next year as
a result of suggestions made by Man
ager McGraW, OF the giants to Garry
Herrmann. chairman of the national
commission, and Ban Johnson, presi-
dent of the American league. The lit
tie Napoleon and the czar of the young
er mapor league have buried the hatch
ct after several years enmity.
McGraW made two suggestions,
which the two members of the national
commission thought well of and which
they said would likely be adopted be-
fore many months have flown.
In one of the games at Boston,, when
the giants lit upon Joe Woods deliv-
cry in the first inning and scored six
runs, the entire New York team was on
the anxious seat for tear that their
great lead would count for naught
as the clouds were gathering thick and
fast at the time and 1t looked doubtful
il the teams could play more than three
or four innings. In this case, unless
they played the full Ave innings, the
giants would have done all of their
~cannonading for nothing.
McGraw suggested that a rule be
made for future worlds series games
that If a rain stopped d game. no mat
ter at what stage, play be esumed the
following day where the two teams left
off, rain checks being provided the fans

famous dealer in bIooded horses. who
is in this country to complete negotia-
lions for the purchase of Rocksand,
August Belmont's stallion. one of the
finest thoroughbred horses i'm the
world, was asked by a reporter his i'm
pressions Of New York.
Mr., Halbronn, sitting in his apart
ment at Sherry's, scanning a book OF
French caricatures by Sem" looked
UP with a laugh.
Mr.. H~albronn deplored the suppress
sion here Of horse racing, which has
caused the emigration or nearly all
the great American racing stables and
has affected horse breeding. Then he
said:
France the Gamer.
Americas loss has been Frances

wealthy men who have tTa~nsplanted
their stables n have helped give an
impetus to the racing game. We are
happy to get them, and when they win

that their team lacks the experience
they will not admit that they ave not

Both Sides Well Supported.
That both sides will be well support
ed by the student bodies of the schools
is evident from the way the students
have been preparing YeIIs and holding
mass meetings. Every noon for some
days rallies have been held at the A.
9. and the attendance has been large.
New yells have been practiced and the
of noisy ~rooters in the STANDS.
At Fargo college there Ia a spirit Of
determination and quiet optimism that
does the school credit.
Yesterday and today big mass meet
ings were held which were addressed
by the players. Melvin Hildreth open
ed the session with a thrilling talk
and Stickney, Aronson, Talbot, Carpen-
ter and Musburger talked.
President Creegan was called on and
he pledged the schools support to the
team. He promised the players q fine
banquet Friday evening, win or, lose.
This afternoon both teams are haV-
ing final practice before the big game.
At Fargo college the practice was open
to the students and a great crowd is
taking a final review of the squad and
cheering them by their presence and
| enthusiasm. F.,
The game tomorrow afternoon will be
played at the new Dacotah field at the
a. c. and will start promptly at BIS.

Top milk is better nj whole milk.
To obtain this allow a quart of milk to
stand in a quart bottle or vessel of
similar shape for about four hours.
Then dip off the top third. This
should be done accurately, SO that the
milk will be Of the same richness from
day to day. 1t can not be poured off

made for this purpose which measure
the milk accurately. The purchase of
one not only will save a great deal OF

The other rule that McGraw suggest

ST. CLOUD gave
ST. THOMAS HARD
GAME YESTERDAY

st. Cloud, Mimi, Oct. 31.-The nor
NAL eleven of this city yesterday went
down to defeat before the st. Thomas
team by a score of 10 to 6 in a game
that was fast and interesting. St.
Thomas forced the ball over for their
first touch down after ten minutes of
play, using McGovern to make their
gains down the field. Gallogly went
over the line. Goal was kicked.
The norr1als came back strong In
the second quarter and with Lilijidahl,
who played a wonderful game, carry
ing the ball for steady gains around
the end and through the cadets tackles,
tied the score goal being missed. st.
Thomas scored the winning points in
the third quarter, using Dougherty for
their gains and for the ouch down. 1t
was a furious quarter and the normals
contested every inch of the way.
The game ended with the ball on the
st. Thomas 20 yard line and had the
normals tried a series of forward pass
es it is believed that the score would
have been tied.
The above account will be decidedly
interesting to Fargo fans because it
gives a line to dope" out some theories
as to the probable outcome of tomor-
rows game between Fargo college and
