@. A. ARE CROWDED NIGHTLY,
LADIES PLAY IN AFTERNOON.

A great deal of interest is being
stirred up over the individual bowling
tournament for this month at the
Young Mems Christian association. The
association is offering a silver medal to
the man making the highest pin fall
for five games. To the boys, a bronze
medal is offered oil the same. conditions.
Both medals. have been received and
are on exhibition at the association
building. The competition seems to be
keen, especially among the men. They
can be seen on the alleys almost any
time, striving for the high scores No
member of the association is left out.
All have an equal chance at the prize.
Records are kept of every. game rolled,
at the end of the month the man or boy
having the highest total score for any
five games will be awarded the medals
The interest is at sue a high pitch
that men are purchasing their own
balls, and special shoes to bowl In SO
that nothing will stand in their way
of making the best possible scores.
Richard HOenck now holds the sasso-
citation record for one, game with a
score of, 217. HoenCk also some
other good scores to his credit, which
will make it necessary for the other
fellows to bowl around the 200 mark
if they expect to carry off the honors.

In the World Of Sport

have been full of statements that the
American runner were guilty of every
foul On the calendar. For months
they have been urging that this noble
nation of sportsmen must retire from a
competition which they cannot win
without staining the pure, unsullied
Vlrg1nlty of their amateurism. The
members of the team have not been
saying those things because they are
untrue. But. against their will and
their conviction, they are damned as
poor losers by these fulminations.
The argument is this: No team can
win the Olympic games without train
ing similar to that INDUCED in by the
Americans; Such training is profess
sional in nature and in spirit. 1t re-
.duces the games to the level of COM
mercial enterprise; we cannot under
take 1t without degrading what has
always been, for us, a spIendily rough
ana ready sport into a business which
is inconsistent with our ideas of anna
teurism.
The American athlete specializes on
Importance he devotes most of his
energies and time to his training. He
has a coach who is a professional

FOGEL LOSES
The PHILLIES

Philadelphia, Dec 10.-A local syndi.
cate of bankers has purchased the
Phillies at $4S6,000, and according to
good authority the sale was made over
the head of Horace Fogel. The latter
was so busy making plans to sell the
stock of the new corporation which he
was forming that he a placed an ad-
vertisement with all of the daily news
papers offering the stock at a and
when the sale of the club to a syndi-
cate headed by Robert A, Balfour, the
traction magnate, was announced late
Saturday afternoon, the newspapers
held up the Fogel- advertisement and
would not print it.
The news was reported from the
financial district, and a representative
of the Robert A. Balfour syndicate said
that his firm had bought the Philadel-
phia clubs franchise, property, real es-
state and good will: 1t is said Robert
A. Balfour and Gov. John K. Tener
of Pennsylvania, Fred r. Chandler and
Cong. w. S. Ware are interested in the
deal. ~. t.&
Doom will probably be retained as
nag and will be given full charge

that Fogel has been provided for, al
though the plans of the bankers in this
connection have not been made known.

ATTELL gets HIS

CURIOUS OUTCOME OF A FIsTICANA
IN WHICH FORMER CHAMPIONS
YOUNGER BROTHER IS A LOSER,

being slammed on the head until he

by Johnny Kilbane in min rounds, but

but in doing so he gained the sight of
an eye which had been out of business
for a long time.
Two years ago, when Attell was
nghting on the coast he was hit in
the right eye and a cataract formed.
He had been unable to see out of the
optic since. On Tuesday night, how
ever. Kilbane caught Monte a hard
blow behind the ear. So hard was
the punch that it caused the cataract
to break. Yesterday the local scrap
per was examined by a specialist who
stated that inside of five days Attell
would be able to see out of the eye.
That is the u of Monte's happi-
ness.

LEE SPEAKS AT LAKE CRYSTAL
Discusses Subjects Incident to Cam
paign For Governorship.
From FRIDAYS DajIy

. Despite the very threatening
weather, and the fact that the
meeting for lack of time, had not
been well advertised, William e.
Lee spoke to fair-sized audience
at Union hall in Lake Crystal last
evening. Mr.. Lee traced the growth
of minority rule from the beginning
of this government, and showed how
the minority through constitutional
and legislative provisions, had been
enabled in many cases to control
the situation. He also touched upon
discrimination in railway rates in this
state and gave several concrete ex-
amples of glazing discrimination in
freight rates. He also stated that
he was in favor of the amendment
of the corrupt practices act so that
candidates would be compelled to
show from whom campaign contribu-
tions were received. And in this con-
nection he informed the people that
he, in this campaign was receiv-
ing contributions from no one, but
was paying his own expenses.
Mr. Lee touched upon the financial
condition of the state, and discussed
legislation that he believed Should
be enacted.
