baseball-mad fanatics that has witness
ed any factory league game this year.
the Simmons Mfg. Co. threw the hooks
into the Badger Brass Mfg. Co. team
and tumbled them from their perch to
the tune of to 3. It was a game
viciously contested throughout and
could well be compared with the color
ing found in Oriental rugs, so checkered
with brilliant playing, hard hitting,
bone headed base running and rank UNI
piring The Badgers outhit the Sim
mons two to one, but threw away many
chances by base running that smelled
to high heaven and although heretofore,
very consistent players in the field, they
performed at times like 6-year old kids,
all errors being productive of runs. The
Simmons team pulled off some brilliant
plays at times and showed heady, steady
work in the field.
Father Hopf, of the Badgers, out
pitched his opponent, Linstrom, all the
way, but lacked the support in the field.
Hopf famed twelve and allowed but six
hits, while Linstrom famed four and
allowed II hits. Haag, of the Simmons
team, made circus catch Of liner,
doubling up his man at first and stop
ping vicious batting rally.
The following are the scores:

Fight Expected Over Instructions of
Representatives to Meeting
at Chicago.
TO SELECT TWENTY-FIVE
Convention This Afternoon Is To
Name Men For Minneapolis and
Thief River.

Delegates to the Beltrami county
convention, which is being held in
the court house this afternoon, ap-
pear in the majority to be progress
sive, favoring both La Toilette and
Roosevelt with a slight leaning in
the favor of the latter. The few Taft
delegates appear to be badly outnum-
bered and it is conceded that the
delegates to be elected to Thief Riv-
er Falls and to the state convention
in Minneapolis will be progressive.
Early reports from the Ninth dis
trict give Taft Red Lake county on
ly. La Toilette is conceded to have
Pennington, Norman, Kittson and
Clearwater in his column, while
Roosevelt has Roseau, Becker, Otter
tail, Clay, Beltrami and Marshall. AS
near as can be learned, Polk county
is split between Roosevelt and Taft.
In the Eighth district. Itasca coun-
ty stands alone for Taft, La Toilette
is said to have carried Lake, while
Isant1 and-Milie Laos have declared
anti-Roosevelt. st. Louis, Carlton,
Koochiching, Kanabec, Pine and
Aitkin counties are said to favor
Roosevelt generally with a few La
Toilette votes interspersed. The
three largest counties in the state,
looked upon as Taft strongholds, have
overwhelmingly gone for Roosevelt,
while La Follette's strength in the
northwestern part of the state is sur
prising.
Parties apparently in close touch
with the sentiment of the Ninth dis
trict state that the fight at the Thief
River convention will be between
the Roosevelt and La Toilette forces
and that Taft is out of the running.
The district is progressive, the only
question being whether it shall go for
La Toilette or Roosevelt.
The county convention this after
noon will name eleven delegates to
the state convention to be held May
Is and eleven to the county conven-
ton to be held Wednesday at Thief
River Falls.

Nebraska Defeats Minnesota.

| Lincoln, Neb., May 13.-Nebraska
triumphed over Minnesota in the an
nual dual field meet held Saturday
on Nebraska field, the Cornhuskers
scoring sc points to 81 for the Goph-
ers. The track was fast after
drenching rain, but hurricane gale
met the runners ahead in the stretch
and made the time unfortunately
slow. One Missouri Valley record was
beaten, that honor falling to Linde-
berg of Minnesota in the half-mile
run. The Gopher crack outfooted
MCGOWAN, strong half-miler, and
breasted the tape an easy winner in
1859 2-5. two seconds better than the
Valley record.
Nebraska excelled generally in the
track events while the Gophers lug
ged of every place but one in the
weights. The Cornhuskers captured
all of the points in the two hurdle
races. the high jump and the pole
vault. while the GOphers swept the
platter in the shot put, discus throw
and broad jump. The lead see-sawed
from the first event, the 1O0-yard
dash, until the program lacked but
two numbers of completion, making
the interest Of the spectators and the
rivalry Of the athletics unusually
keen. At the start of the mile relay,
the Cornhuskers had piled up IS
points and needed only three more
to cinch the meet. Birman Of Mime
sofa opened up good gap over Bren-
nan OF Nebraska, In the hrst quarter,
but Beaver OF Nebraska overhauled
Karnofsky of Minnesota during the
second lap. Barney Anderson length
sened this lead and the latter finished
with yards to spare.
First place IN the final event to
Harmon Of Nebrasks over Nelson of
Minnesota. In the hammer thfp5 :inss
creased the orntuekerss total to SIS.
