Fargo Tennis Players
Will Not Play Locals
Today; Will Meet Later

The Fargo tennis players who were
coming up to this city today to play
the locals at Lincoln park, notified
the Grand Forks officials that no
game would be played in the city to-
day. A number Of the Fargo men
were called upon to leave that city
and attend to matters of business, so
hat it was impossible for a team to
come to Grand Forks. They proposed
that the games be played a week
o Saturday and it is probable that
they will come here then. A return
date will be arranged later.
The courts at Lincoln park are in
excellent condition and more interest
has been shown by Grand Forks peo-
pie in tennis than in any former year.
Nearly every evening all the courts
are in use and when vacated are i'm
mediately put to use by other players.
Some of the new players are showing
exceptional ability and are giving the
older players a great run. The local
men feel very confident that a fast
team can be developed and believe
that they will be able to defeat Fargo
when they meet.

WILLING TO GO, BUT
PLAYERS Want THEIR
WIVES IN THE LINEUP
(By Herbert Corey.)

McGraw and Comiskey, experts
upon baseball, feel they are the men
who have put the mess" in domes-
ITCHY.
They plan to take a shipload OF
baseball players around the world on
4 meet-all-comers tour this winter.
The plan is a perfectly good one
except that it don't provide for the
wives. If Comiskey and McGraw were
to open their souls for a moment, ano
let their emotion. about the holy es-
tate Of matrimony surge out into the
open, they would attract more atten.
ton than a circus parade in a county
sac town. Most Of the players they
want are married.

Business of alarmed volubiHty by
Connie and Mac.
Then there's nothing doing" say
the married ball players, sulkily.
"Whadda yuh tink the old lady'd say
to me il I'd spring n Of them solo
tours on her?"
Also, II the two managers were to
yield to a s%oftness Of the heart and
take the wives along. there Is reason
to fear that the athletes would come
them. They're hard enough to han
die when they're in training, without
any women along to prod them.
"And." say the cynics. II Mac and
Connie were to take a couple of
teams Of bachelors. they'd better en-.
gage the United States army to make
'em behave"

Winona, May 29.-The locals de-
feated Minneapolis in the longest and
most exciting game played in this city
this year by the score of 5 to 4 in
thirteen innings. In the first inning
the visitors got to Corhett for three
runs and held the lead until the eighth
round. when the locals found Com
stock and knocked in the tying run.
After that the Little Millers were un-
able to score n kept the locals from
getting a man across the plate until
the thirteenth. Comstock was hit hard
by the Winonans but kept his hits
pretty we'll scattered and was given
excellent support by his teammates.
Toraason was put in by Lefty Davis at
the first of the second and during the
twelve innings that he pitched he only
allowed one run, that in the fourth.
He was given good support by the
Winonans, who made but two errors.

The forthcoming games promise to
be holly contested. With the locals
on their home grounds and their field
ing machine moving more smoothly,
they ought to give the Pcggers a hard

Big Game Sunday.
Sundays game undoubtedly will be
the feature of the series. Morse, who
has done such good work in the twir-
ling line this year. probably will be
on the mound for the locals. Tim
othy Flood undoubtedly will send Moe,
his n%o-run-no-hit pitcher. IN to DO the

Morse are W. of the best pitchers in
the league. and. with them in the
box Sunday. the fans are assured of
a neat pitching duel. providing. how
ever, that things work we'll behind
them.
"Chase Glass Of League"
Since leaving Grand Forks, Short
stop Chase has hit his stride. He per-
formed so we'll in Winnipeg that the
baseball critics of that city came for
ward and handed him the laurels of
the league. Here is what the sports
editor of The Winnipeg Free Press
had to say anent his playing:
"Chase at shortstop for visitors
looks the class of the league. He again
played a snappy game yesterday and
banged out a solid smash. He robbed
Clothier of a hit by grabbing the ball
with one hand"
Chase is justifying the faith that
Father Carney placed in Tim. and the
fans are looking forward to his return
with considerable interest-a different
attitude than the n manifested a
couple of weeks ago..
Others Do Well.
Altman has kept up his sensational
performances, while Larson. and Eos
ter have upheld their fielding end of
the battles in great shape. Gerlach.
who has played in the field and behind
the bat on the present trip. has been
hitting like a demon. and. according
to the official figures from the league
statistician today. has boosted his bat
ting average considerably.
If Grand Forks can take the heavy
end of the series. they will move for
ward considerably in the pennant race
unless they fall down miserably at
Duluth today.
