TIMELY BITS OF SPORT
Deny That New York Giants
Are on the Market.
BRUSHES TO KEEP CONTROL
Rainstorm Robbed Clyde Milan
Of Three Stolen Bases
Last Season.

Rumors that the New York Giants
were on the market and that the clut
would be bought by c. X. G. Billings
and Edward A. Upton, both well known
horsemen. were promptly denied yester-
day by all concerned. Word came from
Harry n. Hampstead in Indianapolis, that
the family would remain in control of the
team Mr.. Hampstead. who is son-in-
law OF the late John T. Brush, said that
neither h nor any of the other heirs had
heard of the reported negotiations for the
clubs sale.
Mr. Hampstead will come to this city
within a few days to take charge OF MT
Brush's affairs. Only a short time age
he was elected vice-president OF the
Giants, and it is expected that he viii
step into the presidency when the Ma
tional Exhibition Company is reorgan-
lied Those who were In close touch
with Mr.. Brush declare that 1t was his
wish to have the family continue It's
interest i'm the team. Definite announce
ment is expected when his will is read
II is not believed that Mrs. Brush VIII
take an active part in the administration
OF the club
Harry Stevens, lifelong friend OF
John T. Brush, denied that Mr.. Hemp
stead intends to dispose Of his share IN
the club.
II have been hearing all sorts Of re-
ports lately" said Mr.. Stevens. land
there's not a particle of truth In them
Why, only three months ago rumor had
me becoming the Giants president When
the affairs of the club are Strengthened
out. the widow OF Mr. Brush will un-
doubtedly receive the bulk of the stock
while Harry Hampstead, Mr.. Brush
son-in-law, now acting president, will
probably be made president AS for any
outsiders becoming interested in the
clubs business, l don't think there's a
possible chance"
c. x. G. Billings was greatly surprised
when asked If he was 10 become one OF
the owners of the Giants.
THAT is the first l have heard Of it, y
declared Mr. Billings. II never enter
tained the idea of owning any stock In
the Giants. and l am pretty sure that
Mr.. Upton never sought to buy any in
terest in the club even if it had been
for sale"
The market value of the New York
National League Club is problematical.
Well known baseball experts-men who
have owned clubs-say that II the local
club was ever put on the market it could
easily bring 100000
Mr.. Brush. after he assumed charge OF
the Giants. made a fortune out of the
team. During the last ten years it IS
estimated that the net earnings Of the
local club have footed up 10 about So
10000.

THANKSGIVING
At THE Y. N. c. A.
THE ASSOCIATION BUILDING WAS
CROWDED ALL DAY AND MANY
IMPOSSIBLE SCORES WE'RE
MADE-MANY IN SWIMMING
PooL-oTHER FEATURES.

Holidays are really the busy times
for the Young Mems Christian associa-
tons throughout the whole country.
Yesterday: was no exception for the
local association. To men away from
home holidays in times past used to
be unWelCOme and unlOnged for be-
cause of the loneliness they would in
Varibly bring. Today however, the
Young Mems Christian associations are
meeting the needs and furnishing a
home and entertainment for the man
away from home. All day yesterday
the lobby, reading rooms, game rooms,
gymnasium, swimming pool and bowl
ing alleys of the Fargo association
were actually crowded with young
men. Had they not have an as
sociation to go to, they probably would
have been in places with less favor
able surroundings.
In the afternoon the gymnasium was
really the attractive feature. In a
basketball game which was fast and
furious from the start. the employed
boys defeated a team representing the
high school class by a 81 to 10 score.
Some seemingly impossible shots We're
made. Nesbit, Blk, c. May and
Thompson showed up exceptionally
we'll.
Following the basketball game, the
First Baptist and Swedish Baptists
played ar exciting game of indoor
baseball. Although the First Baptist
boys fairly smothered their opponents
under an avalanche of hits and runs,
the game nevertheless proved interest
ing to the large crowd of spectators
that were on hand. j. Berger and r.
Howell were the officials of the after
noon.
Big dinners of turkey and all that go
with it, seemed to have no effect on
the bowlers of the city. The alleys
were as busy as a bee hive, and the
highest scores made so far were rolled.

a score of 211 to his credit. |. Hor-

score that is not rolled every day.
