ROWING CIRCLES

e..
. BIG ARGUMENT
Wisconsin's Discovery of Danger
to Health of Oarsmen Will
Be Widely Discussed.
Major Magnates Find Those
Long Term Contracts Source
of Worry,
(By J. Fl. Ritchie.)

Wisconsin's withdrawal from in
tercollegiate rowing on the ground
that large number of the oarsmen
have developed hyperatrophied hearts
will bring an avalanche of discussion
on the part of the medical corps and
the rowing fraternity. On the face of
it, it seems strange that the discovery
has not been made before at some of
the older institutions where rowing
has fourished for long periods and
where the medical inspection and care
of the athletes is supposedly as ade-
quate and painstaking as at Madison.
If rowing really has such baneful
effect upon the candidates as Madi-
son now seems to think, it is strange
chat other institutions have not made
the discovery and wiped such a dan
gerous pastime from the list of inter-
collegiate contests.
It can hardly be presumed that the
other institutions are less careful or
less searching in their observations of
he effects of any form Of athletics.
It cannot be presumed that any local
conditions at Madison could bring
about such wholesale weakening of
hearts. What prevails at Madison
must necessarily prevail in every other
crew and in every other crew and in
every other crew headquarters.
At any rate, Wisconsin's sudden
withdrawal from the rowing field will
stir up a furore of comment and a
searching Of conditions in every other
varsity crew throughout the land. If
Wisconsin has by chance or scientific
Investigation found that rowing is
menace to the health of every man
participating, then intercollegiate
owing will come to a rather sudden
md. The advocates of rowing will
have something to say before the
question is finally settled and the re-
ioinder and refutal Of the Wisconsin
!heory-if it can be made-will be
highly interesting.

BLACKMAIL OF
j. HILL Fooled
Arrest of Man at Duluth Dis
closes Letters Demanding
$50,OOO-Death Threat.

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 1.-Letters
to be sent to James J. Hill in an ef-
fort to blackmail him out of $4,000
were found on Charles Howell, ar
rested at Duluth on another black
mailing charge, according to tele-
grams from that city yesterday. The
blaclmail was to have been delivered
in melodramatic way. Mr.. Hill was
to send his son, Louis w. Hill, to Du-
}uth with the money in suitcase.
Louis Hill was to leave Duluth on a
night train, riding in the fireman's
cab and drop the suitcase out of the
window when he saw white flag.
No letters of the kind have been re-
ceived by either Of the Hills, but ap-
parently they would have been sent
soon. The authorities have been look
inf for Howell more than year on a
charge of attempting to get $4,000
from Frank Drummond, lumberman
of Cable, Wis.,, by threats to blow
him up.
Writer a WOOdsman.
Howell is 81 years old, woodsman,
and gives Glen Flora, Wis.,, as his ad-
dress. He is said to have confessed.
The letters said to have been in
tended for Mr.. Hill are as follows:
No. 1-"Send your son, Louis w.
Hill, that we may shadow him as now.
The amounts we want are $4,000 in
good United States paper bills. All
money must be without markings Of
any kind. Put the $4,000 in a real
leather canvas.
Gums Carefully Oiled
"Don't try any trickery, for our
guns are carefully oiled and the sights
are adjusted. And we will make every
bullet strike where aimed if you balk."

Warns Against Trick.
No. 3-"Balk if you dare. We want
the pleasure of sinking you in hell.
Your auto or private train will be
stopped if you plan any trick. Get
this over to Gray. Fifty thousand dol
lars is what we want"
No. 4-"Two automatic magazine
rifles have been adjusted and oiled and
shall be used if you fail to send your
son, Louis w. Hill, to Duluth on Nov.
10, 1914"
No. 5.-"The engineer will pay for
his folly if he attempts to shut off the
steam. We will have two high-grade

The organized baseball folks are

called.

they did so. They made the contracts
IS tight as the dignity of traffic
COP and as substantially legally as a
supreme court decision.
Then they gave the Federals the
augh. The loud scornful boot, as it
we're. The Federals merely did more
wood saving. Now comes the climax.
Some club managers, like McGraw for
instance, are very anxious to rebuild
heir clubs. They would shift the tai

Being in legal form they have the ele-
nent of mutually to such an extent
that the holder of a three-year con-
ract at high salary does not have to
travel whittier the boss is willed to
send him. Of course players can be
sold or traded but the club taking
hem has to take up the bosses bur-
len-the paying of the figures stipu-
lated in the long term documents.
So in putting the bug upon the Feds
it would seem that the bosses of the
organized outfit have put something
of hex or hoodoo upon themselves.
It will be highly diverting to watch
them squirm out.

GOPHER SQUAD ST0 FACE
ELIGIBILITY BOARD THURSDAY

The first gridlron contest of the sea-
son for the Minnesota football eleven
is due Saturday afternoon at Northrup
field, but before that battle the entire
squad must pass through an ordeal in
the shape of examination by the eligi-
bility committee, the outcome of which
is awaited with interest by followers
of the team. Thursday at 1880 a. m.
the committee will meet and go over
the list of candidates for the Gopher
eleven, making certain that each play
er has a clear record in scholarship
and is athletically pure from a stand
point of amateurism.
Before that time every condition ex-
animation will have been written. Two
con examinations, by Quist and Mey-
ers, were taken yesterday. Haedge
and Sinclair are the music today.
The eligibility committee is made
up of five faculty members. Professor
James Paige, Professor E. P. Harding,
DR.. Litzenberg, Professor Otto Zelner
and one other to take the place of DIR.
Robinson at present in Europe. Alumni
members are Bert Paige and George
K. Belden. Student members are
Dick Lewis and Ray E. Ramaker.
Flickertails Confident.
Arrangements for the opening game
of the season Saturday have been COM
pleted. The Dakotans are expected to
arrive here Friday night so as to get
a good nights sleep to rest them from
the ten-hour trip from Grand Forks.
Despite low score against Grand
Forks high school last Saturday, 20 to
7, the Flickertails are confident that
they will give Minnesota a hard rub.
The Dakota varsity team played only
10 minutes of the game against the
high school team and scored all the
points during that time.
The Gophers again scrimmaged last
night despite the heat, and it was
tired squad that ducked into the show
ers after sunset. The varsity team
was handed a stiff practice in signals
and a good defensive workout against
the second team. Little was back on
the varsity for time last night and
four ends we're used. The backfeld
was Erdall, Scion, Bierman and Ham,
ilton. Schultis and Dunnigan were
both back in the game. Both have re-
covered from their recent illness.
Freshmen Scrimmage.
The freshmen also scrimmaged last
night after a drill in charging and
handling the ball. Coach Harris first
year eleven has a good looking back
field and some good material in the
line. Plato, a promising freshman
backfeld candidate, was severely in
jured yesterday and put out Of COM
mission for few days when he re-
ceived blow in the face in tackling
Wyman.
President George E. Vincent of Min
nesota yesterday addressed the foot
ball candidates preliminary to the
practice, telling them that they had
the hearty support of the institution
and that every man was expected to
play the game hard but clean. The
president watched practice for a half
hour for the first time this season.

flashes are unaccompanied by thunder
and often occur when no clouds are
visible in the sky.
1t is commonly believed that heat
lightning differs materially from
ordinary lightning such as accompan-
les thunder shower. This is
erroneous. Heat lightning is really
the reflection of ordinary lightning.
Afar off there is thunder shower.
Light travels at enormous speed,
something over 1876, 900 miles second,
while thunder travels slowly through
the air and soon becomes inaudible
to our ears. 1t is this light, reflected
