GERMAN BOOKMAKERS
WILL BE LICENSED
Imperial Government Prepares Bill for
Parliament Changing Betting Sys-
tend in Vogue in Empire.
MINIMUM WAGER ADOPTED

London, June ga telegram from Ber-
lin to the Daily Chronicle says:
''The 6ookmaker question Is one which
has long agitated German sporting cir
cies. For the last thirty years bookmak-
ing. according to the strict letter of the
law, is 'verboten,' like so many things
in the fatherland. yet the profession has
contrived to run its business and to pros
per to a fair extent. In every second
beer shop, in hairdressing saloons, and
tobacconists establishments bets sub
rosa are made.
Now the whole position is about to be
changed The government has been con-
sidering the matter. and a bill has been
drafted which will be laid before Parlia-
ment. In Germany, as in France the
psri-mutuel system is in vogue, and the
government at present taxes all transac-
lions on that machine to the extent OF
about IS per cent on the Berlin race
courses last year it is reckoned that the
totalizator business amounted to no less
than 100000 marks Cs7.5Oo,OoO). Now II is
proposed to reduce the tax to IL per
cent. OF that the State takes half, the
other per cent going 70 the various
Rennvereine, or racing associations for
the purposes of horsebreeding.
The government hopes TO lose no reve-
nue. by the decrease, as the bookmaker
tax will preserve and very possibly In
crease the amount that the State re-
ceives. As to the bookmakers. the bill
provides for the recognition of a certain
number in each large town. The figure
is to be fixed according 10 the population.
The bookmaker must pay a tax of 6 per
cent of his takings 10 the government,

GETS SMALL PAY, BUT
SELLS AT Big Price
Schauer, Northern League Hurler, Re-
ceives Meager Salary as Mem
Der of Superior Club.
is NOW PROPERTY OF GIANTS

Grand Forks. y. Oak, June s1.-Rube
Schauer, the Northern Lacquer, for whom
McGraw. of the New York Nationals,
paid $4,000. who first attracted attention
while pitching on semi-pro team at
Garrison, n. Oak. is dragging down the
princely stipend of $50 a month as a
member Of the Superior. Wis. club.
That is the amount stipulated in the
contract to which Schauer attached his
name several months hack, and 1t re-
quired considerable dickering upon the
part Of the phenomenal twirler to even
secure that amount
IL Is only four months ago since Schau-
er attempted 10 secure a place on an
other Northern League club. but he was
turned down because he would not pay
his own training camp expenses, the club
not being willing to invest that much
cash In him a. a possible twirler
Today Schauer, the most talked of
minor Lacquer in the country. Is worth
his full seasons salary several times
over every time he is billed to pitch. as
well as being worth $4,000 TO the Golfers
of the club that was willing to chance
$40 or so in training expenses.
Schauer is in baseball because he failed
to make good as a minister OF the gospel
His father, a stanch German Lutheran,
was inclined to the ministry as a pro-
fession for his sterling son. and the son,
always obliging. consented TO try ii. He
spent two years in a theological semi
nary. and then, being successful in
proving quite conclusively to his father
that he was not cut out for the ministry,
he was given a business college training.
Out of the business college Schauer
came as a bookkeeper, and he sought
employment at Garrison. y. Oak. When
the townspeOple made their annual sub
scriptions to the purpose of carrying
semi-pro team, Schauer decided that a
bit OF baseball. affording outdoor exercise.
might be valuable to him. So Schauer
tried for the team, and last year he
made IL.
When the deal for the sale Of Schauer
to the New York Nationals was an
nounced, he had pitched only eleven
games of professional baseball
Schauer first attracted the attention of
magnates when c. Webb Murphy, of
Chicago. attempted to buy him for
paltry 5000. The price went up when
that bid was made, and Murphy soon
dropped out of the running by issuing
sour grapes" interview on the subject.

Sioux Scout Camp.

The Scouts Of the first Canton Troop
returned Monday from al eight day
camp on n Sioux River, three miles
east Of own The camp was located
on The Iowa side in The bend of the
river at the END OF 5Jh Street. 1t was
Situated such that teams and autos
could reach IL by way Of Il three
mile bridge, but when we reached the
Iowa SIDE we found the cattle had
broken down The bridge across a big
gulch ten feet deep The night before
and We were compelled TO transport
our entire camp equipment across the
gulch and down the river for three
quarters OF a mile by hand.
On Tuesday morning WI were join
ed by the Rock Rapids troop led by
Scout Master Reverend Burr, increas-
ing the number in camp TO about
forty. These scouts had liked all the
way from Rock Rapids on foot, carry
ing their equipment by means Of a
team of Shetland ponies hiUched to a
light wagon.
We constructed a foot bridge right
at camp the next morning 10 that it
should not be necessary to go by way
of the three mile bridge to get there.
The Scouts we're divided into squads
for performing the different camp
duties. One squad for cooking, one
for dish washing, one for providing
wood and one for cleaning camp. We
were very fortunate in being able to
secure good water right in camp. We
sank a standpoint twelve feet below
the ground and the water We got was
better and cooler than the city water.
There was a fine swimming hole a
few rods below camp with water eight
feet deep and a good spring board
about eight feet above the water.
Scout Master Burr gave all the scouts
marching drill aud setting up exer-
cises every morning.
On Friday we had several visitors,
including the Athenian Debating So
ciety and the Scout Court OF honor.
Some of the first class scouts qualified
for merit badges before the Court OF
tomobiling and swimming; Asa For
rest, swimming; Lew Tuve, automo-
billing and swimming.
On Saturday, Assistant Scout Mast
er Glen Michler came over from Rock
Rapids. The day was spent in visit
ing the Indian Asylum and sight see
ing in the city Of Canton on The part
of the Rock Rapids Scouts. When
the boys arrived at the court house
grounds, they were met by a repre-
sentative of Mayor Tank, welcomed
to the city in behalf of the Athenians
treated to a generous supply of ice
cream and cake.
The total enrolment at camp was:
Canton, Scout Master, A. G Tuve and
Is scouts; Rock Rapids, Scout Master
A. A. Burr; Asst. Scout Master, Glen
Michler and II scouts.
Sunday noon the Canton Scouts en-
tertained the Rock Rapids Scouts at
dinner, thanks to the mothers of the
Canton boys who sent out a great
deal of prepared food Saturday even
ing. There we're about forty visitors
in camp during the day on Sunday.
We want to thank all the people of
Canton who helped make our camp a
success and especially the Militia
boys who furnished US with all oul
sleeping equipment.
