MAJOR LEAGUE TEAMS
 MUST HAVE SPEED.
Teams With Speed Have a Great Chance to Win Remnants, Say Me- Graw and Others.

A ball team may have wonderful batters and sensational flelders, but unless the speed is present this squad can't expect to win pennants.
 McGraw Athe foxy manager of the Giants, insisst on speed above every thing else. He Is, in fact, the only big league boss who relies on the hit and-run play to the exclusion of the safer sacrifice play A man who can't run to beat the band has no hope of getting along with Muggsy.
 He had a youngster and this tall chap looked like busher. Errors af- ter errors were made by him. But Mc- Graw overlooked theSe-he overlooked his mediocre hitting. He saw that the youngster was fast on his feet and wasn't afraid to cut loose. So he de- cided to hang on to him. believing he could teach him the rest.
 Connie Mack is another manager who insists on speed. And he has a fast ball club. President Murphy of the Cubs, figures speed above tho rest W hen considering new material the first thought that flashes across his mind is How many bases has he stolen ?''
 It was Jimmy Johnson's sensational running on the coast last year when he pilfered above the hundred mark that put Murphy on his trail. Mur- phy has depeatedly stated that as a man grows older and is a step or two shy of his former speed when going to first base he is ready for the discard.
 Some years ago Boston startled the circuit with a team that won games repeatedly from far stronger squads. They couldn't begin to class up with at least three other aggregations. Yet for a time they swept the boards.
 This bunch of players happened to be fast on it's feet. The manager told his men to run on anything-and they did. As a result they came across with sensational plays which really be- longed to the boneheaded class Had they failed they would have been la beled ivory. But they succeeded, and the world tagged them sensational.

YALE-HARVARD REGATTA
Will Be Held June 20, on Saturday, for the First Time in History of the Races,

It Is announced tentatively that the annual Yale Harvard regatta will be held at New London Saturday, June 20. It will be the first time in the history of this regatta that it has been held on a Saturday-if the date is finally se- lected.
 Thursday and Friday have been the popular days of the week. F. Valen- tine Chappell. chairman of the regatta committee. said Sunday night that he had not been notified of the date. He said Saturday was an unusual day for the regatta, although there was no reason why Saturday should not be selected just as much as any other day. MT. Chappell said he heard few days ago that Friday, June 19, would prob ably be the day.
 It is the general belief here that Saturday is a good day for the regat- ia, as the chances of big crowd would be better. Saturday in the sum- mer months is a sort of a holiday in business in the cities and it would be easier for business men to get away on that day to come here to the races.

JOHNSON CANNOT
 ENTER ENGLISH RING.
Britishers Afraid It Would Start a Ma
 tionaI Roughhouse.

England does not propose to allow Jack Johnson to whip any white men in territory over which the English have any jurisdiction or influence. In fact, q great deal of opposition has been aroused by a proposal to match Johnson and Langford before the Ma tional Sporting club of London.
 England has its little perplexities of a political nature in riding herd over it's saddle colored subjects and seems to think that the spectacle of a black lamming the daylights out@Of a white or whites docking to see the two big crows battling before the leading club would be too much of an inspiration for the colored brethren to go into a clinch with the British governors wherever there might be room for a good national roughhouse.

 CONTRACT UNSIGNED.

Eddie Plank, the hero of the final game of last years world series, when he let New York down with two hits, has returned his contract unsigned to Connie Mack, manager of the champion Athletics The veteran pitcher was offered the same salary he received last year, but he wants an increase.

 ply asked for an increase. Plank is the only member of the champions who is holding out for more money.

Will Vote On CITY
Hall Proposition
Voters of Redwood Falls Will Vote
on Bonds For Municipal
Building, June 16

In response to a petition signed by
many of the prominent business men
of Redwood Falls, the City Council
has decided to call a special election
at which the voters of the city will
decide for or against the selling of
bonds for the erection of a new city
hall.
The Council at a meeting held last
evening, decided upon June Is, which
is primary election day, as a suit
able time for learning the sentiment
of the people on this proposition.
They will be asked to vote on state
bonds with interest at four per cent,
to the amount of $4,000.
Public sentiment is very strong in
favor of a City Hall to be used for
Council meetings and other public
interest meetings, and to provide a
better protection for the fire equip
ment, which is most inadequately
housed at present. No definite plans
and specifications have yet been con-
sidered, but it is understood that if
the building is erected, the Council
will spare no pains in making it a
model for its proposed uses.

Came in 1880
My first acquaintance with Red
wood Falls was formed about the
first of May, 1880, two years after
the Northwestern railroad was built
into that town. My mother and my
self put up at the Commercial Hotel,
occupying the same location as the
kahler, the old hotel having gone up
in smoke many years ago. Mr.. Bunce,
father of George and Ed. Bunce, was
the landlord, but was succeeded not
long afterward by the late H. D.
Everett, father of our present coun-
ty treasurer. There were no business
houses fronting on Washington street
at that time, to the best of my re-
collection, except the blacksmith shop
Of Fred. Hotchkiss, a livery barn
south of the hotel, and Capt. Dun

one-story frame shack near the site
