Winona. Mimi, Aug. 3l.-Hi
T%oraason, Winona star heaver, and
the most feared pitcher Of the Nor
thern league is going to higher COM
pany. At least a message from Lefty
Davis says that two Association clubs
nave put in bids for the youngster and
in all probably he will be grabbed up
within a day or two Toraason has
been pitching ball for the last month
and in that time mas pitched a num-
Der Of one, two and three hit games
against the strongest Clubs of the cir
cult.
Working in the last game against
Superior the Winona youngster in
jured his arm, but after visiting a doc
tor his salary wing was put back into
condition.
Several times this season, big league
scouts have been in the stands when
Lefty Toraason vas on the mound,
and 1t was expected that one Of the
majors would make a bid for the
HEAVIER before this time. Toraason
possesses more STUFF than any other
pitcher in the league barring none,
and for a left handler has remarkable
control. He is n Of he most feared
pitchers Of the circuit. The leading
batters Of the league predict a rosy
future for the lad. Hi is still a mere
youth and should nave little difficulty
making good in the association. He
will probably be sold within a day or
two. either to Minneapolis or Indian
apolis.

WEECHhAN DENIES THAT

OTHER FEDERAL CLUBS

Chicgo. Aug. 31.-Owner Charles
Weegman of the Chicago Federals,
one of the main cogs in the Federal
league machine, yesterday denied the
report that he would be willing to
ditch the other in the in
dependent organization, provided a
compromise was arraigned whereby
Chicago, Brooklyn and st Louis were
taken care Of with the American
association franchises.
Weegham has beer franklin most Of

quiring the experience which makes
magnates chary of expressing an OPP
inion and also aus them frequently
to indulge in more e~quivocation than
seems necessary.
The Chicago owners admits that it
Is a bad year in baseball and that four
Federal league clubs would lose money
this year. He says recognition would
be welcome by the Federals, although
he denies that they are looking for it
and asserts that plans are being made
to sign more major league players

Considering the fact that Grand
Forks has to capture six out Of the

ought to exert themselves in giving
the club their support.
Patrick Flaherty should worry

advantage. The champions took a

On the other hand, the break in Bos-
toms winning career which had been
predicted in some quarters do not ma

 At o'clock in the afternoon the First regiment was paraded and half an hour later the Second regiment had parade. The mounted scouts, the new detachment, were sent into the Man

Until the latter part of the week, it is expected the work of the men will be in the camp, but after the governors visit, the com- mands will have maneuvers outside. Captain William E.

CUP YACHTS TO SAL
 SEVERAL RACES THIS WEEK
Resolute Regarded as Best for Condi- tiens Frequently Met of Sandy Hook,

Newport, R. l., July 1z.-After three interesting trial races. the contenders for the Americas cup defense, De- fiance, Resolute and Vanitie. today spent a quiet day-in harbor while the rcommittees on selection pondered on will be sailed during the coming week and by next Sunday the committee members expect to have a wealth of information to assist them in arriving at a decision as to which boat shall meet the Shamrock ".
 Fridays contest was regarded as fairly conclusive because it stamped the Resoiute as the best drifter in a rolling sea, a condition frequently met with in cup racing off Sandy Hook. The Resolute demonstrated. that she could sail a thirty mile triangle with beat to windward and two reaches inside of six hours even with a wind of less than five miles an hour The Vanitie can almost do it, but the De- nance needs more of a breeze to make her go.
 On the other hand, the vanitie has shown speed up the wind in a lump of a. sea with the breeze over ten outrun the Defiance in a good breeze, provided it holds we'll. The best hold of the Defiance in the light of her few performances is in a moderate roll and fa&rly good breeze But none of these deductions can be con- sfdered as final, as the contests have been too few and the conditionS not strictly impartial
 After this weeks series. there will be. an interval of twelve days for al- terations and repairs before the three yachts meet on July 30 for the five runs and two races of the New York Yacht club cruise.
