Though the New York Giants and
the Philadelphia Athletics are away
out in front in the two big league
races and the pennants seem to be
sewed up and sealed for keeps, the
fickleness Of Old King Dope has not

court testers.
Several events of recent days have
broken exactly the reverse of what
anybody had right to expect. One
of the most noteworthy of all was the
batting slump Of the Giants. Nc
Graw's team had built up its lead al

TWO GIANTS OF GRAPHING
GAME WILL MEET AT FARGO
ON MARCH 81.

Fargo, N. D., March 2o.-Arrange.
ments were made yesterday for the
Henry Ordeman-Chris Person match to
be staged at Pirie g hall March 81, one
week from Thursday night.
The men will meet at catch weights
and the contest will be on to a finish.
The go. K.'' of George Barton, man
ager for Ordeman, was received by
Fred Heffner today.
Ordeman is to have return match
with Westergard and the betting in
Minneapolis is strong that the Mill
City grappler will regain his lost
laurels.
Ordeman, through his manager, says
that he will dispose Of Person forever.
He says he has grown tired of the
talk Of the latter that he (Ordemau)
is afraid to come to Fargo.
Details Of the preliminaries have not
been decided nor has the referee been
slected. Efforts will be made on the
part Of Ordeman to secure Frank Force
of the Minneapolis Tribune to officiate
but it is doubtful whether Person
would agree to the selection of the
Mill City man.

Some good stories Of Cecil Rhodes are
published by one Of his private secre-
taries, Gordon lie Sueur. F. r. C. S.
He tried to give the impression OF
being without feeling We are told,
but nothing is more absurd. He was
crammed with sentiment to his finger
tips but adopted a brutal manner and
of sentiment. and thus many broken
hearted man and woman left him with
the impression-entirely erroneous-that
he was a callous brute lacking in human
sympathy
Rhodes was very careless about his
clothes, and when travelling would make
a favorite OF one particular coat and
at last ordered to be sent to the tailor
to be cleaned and mended. Mr.. lie Sueur
received 1t back next day with the fol-
lowing note: Dear Sir: Herewith the
Rt Hon. G.. J. Rhodes coat uncleaned
and unmended. We regret that all We
can do with the garment is to make a
new coat to match the buttons
Mr.. lie Sueur deals with the allegation
that Rhodes was a womanhater, by
quoting Rhodes own words: Women.
OF course / don't hate women. l like
fuss!ng about Another time he said:
You may ask me why never married,
and do you know? I answer you very
fairly that 1 have never yet seen the
woman 1 could get on in the same house
with
