OUTFIELD STRENGTHENED
 BY ADDITION OF ZACH WHEAT
Fans Believe AfcGraW Got Bet ter Of Deal With Brook
 lyn Club

New York, April 2S-Zack Wheat, the hard-hitting outGelder of the Brooklyn National league team, was traded yesterday by Manager Robin son to the Giants for Pitcher Pol Perritt and Outfielders Jack Murray and Dave Robertson, according to a report which. while lacking in official confirmation, came from an authord- tive source.
 News of this deal was received with surprise by those few who were aware of the transaction, in view of the fact that Wheat for a number of years has been one of the main stays of the Brooklyn team. In the time he has played with the Superbas he has always ranked well up with the leaders in batting and fielding, and last year finished third to Jake Daubert among the regulars in the individual batting competition
 If the deal has been consummated the trading shrewdness of Manager McGraw of the Giants was again evil denced. Perritt, who came to the Giants this year from the Cardinals, has proved an utter failure so far, being knocked out of the box on each of the three times he has gone to the pitching mound for New ork. Murray has been going back for a couple of years, while Robertson whom McGraw has been tutoring for a regular job for two years, has been unable to learn how to hit in big league style. His chief weakness has been his inability to hit curve balls
 Wheat is just the man the Giants need to give Manager McGraw one of the hardest hitting outfields in either the National or American eagues He is almost a certain 300 hitter, and with Burns and Snodgrass, composes a stalwart outer garden
 The showing of the Giants has been so disappointing thus far this season that Manager McGraw has been driv- en almost to the point of desperation and it would not be surprising if more trades followed this.
 The Giants are up against a diff cult proposition in trimming their big force of baseball players down to twenty one men before May 1. As the New York team has a bigger col lection of recruits than any of the other National league clubs. It is taking some time to place the novices with other teams.
 Yesterday, Manager McGraw got rid of a few more hopefuls Kir- mayer, the pitcher, was sent back to the Decatur (I1L0 club from whence he came, and Reed, the. Princeton fielder, was sent to Troy for a trial Press. the young pitcher, was turned over to Jersey City for inspection.

Bridwell of Feds
 Says Fasting Keeps
 Him in Good Shape

In the St. Louis Feds inf1eId of 1915 there is but one face which the Fed rooters will recognize as having graced the field last year. Al Brid- well is defying Father Time and a few good youngsters to remove him from the second base position.
 Al is past 31 years and is still spry enough to forbid his being replaced by a younger man. In his day he has led all shortstops a fielder and he retains still a large part of the wonderful ability which made him fa- nous when with the New York Giants. Not only will he cover sec ond for Jones this year but in all probability he will be seen in the same position for the Eext few years to come.
 Bridwen is clean liver He takes particularly good. care of his health. One peculiarity he resorts condition is fasting He never eats lunch and his meals in the morning and evening are very light ones.
 At the, time he was playing semi profession ball he went for five days in stretch without a bite to eat The only nourishment he took during this and other periods of fast winter Al went for a full week with out food. He has gone this length, of time on two separate occasions. and during this time he was putting in ten hours a, day for six days a. week, working over a machine in a shoe factory
 He is a strong booster for this sort Of training and insists that he always comes out of his lasts a healthier and stronger man. He does not speak ofavorab1y of the long ab- /stinences of a weeks duration, but thinks that those fthree days length are very beneficial to the sys- tenn Whenever he is feeling poor ly instead of doping up with a. lot of medicine, Al starts a little fast. He has often put himself to strength test after fasting, and invariably he has found himself just as strong as when he started.
 'sWhen I have played my last game of baseball, I am going to continue with athletics just as industrious1y and regularly as I have for years past ? said BridweE. "I will take up handban boxing and bag punching and by this means I hope to keep in good physical condition as long as I am alive and kicking

YALE WINS FROM
 GEORGETOWN BOYS
 IN CLOSE CONTEST

New Haven. April 29.-Three to two was YaIe's margin of victory over #Georgetown's baseball representatives at Yale field yesterday afternoon. Af- ire playing the underdog for six in nings, the Ellis came to life in the foregoing session and amassed a ouar- tet of-hits off the wiIting Finnegan that eliminated in the scoring of three tal1ies. The southerners held the whip hand up to the eventfuI seventh by talIying once in the second and again in the fourth.
 Billy Eaton, whose brilliant al1- around play stood out as one Of the many features of the chilly afternoon, cracked open the seventh inning with a single to left and stole second. Bush followed with a two-ply clout that scored Easton. A hit to left by Hunter sent Bush home with the tie ing run. Pumpeliy died a martyr by sending Hunter to second to sacrifice.
 Captain Ndiddlebrook cracked a slow roller to the short field and beat the throw, Hunter taking third on the play. Milburn followed with a roller to Finnesan who tossed out Hunter at the plate Here Milburr and Mid dIebrook started a double steal. and Erwin. the Georgetown catcher, threw the ball to third base in an effort to trap MiddIebrook. The Yale captain was pocketed momentariIy and he fol- lowed with mad dash for the plate and was adjudged safe. This play gave Yale it's third run and a vic tory.
 Spencer Pumpe11y, a younger broth CT of Harold, the football hero, made his varsity debut for Yale and yielded but six scattered hits. Georgetown's s pair of runs were scored through pass es, followed by Cusack's hits,

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

19O1-Dave Sullivan knocked out Jack McClelland in 20th round at Louisville. On the same date the sports of the Kentucky metropolis also saw Matty Matthews win a deci- sion over Tom Couhig in 20 rounds The boxing game was then flourishing in Louisville and many long bouts between good men were pulled off there. Dave Sullivan, native of Ireland, was a former featherweight champion, and Jack McClelIand of Pittsburgh also had a good reputation as a featherweight and lightweight 1t was a cracking good bout right up to the finish, when Sullivan put over a knockout punch Matty Matthews, a New Yorker, was then wefterweight champion, but within a month after his Louisville battle he lost his title to Rube Ferns at Toronto.a Matthews and Couhig fought thrice after that, Matty winning again at Fort Erie later the same year, losing to Couhig at Hot Springs. Ark, in 1902, and winning at Pittsburgh in 1903. Cou- hig was a good welterweight, but not quite good enough in that day, when the woods were full of classy welters. 1S89-Jack Root knocked out Dick Moore in 2nd round at Chicago.
 1902-Austin Rice defeated Hugh McPadden in 20 rounds at New Lon don.

.SENNO, BRIDCEPORT OUTFIELDER,
 TO PLAY WITH LEWISTON CLUB
Pitcher Green, of New London, Goes to Lowell and Pope to
 BinghamtOn
(By Wagner)


 Dan Senno who pastined in left field for the Bridgeport club last sea son, will be with Lewiston, Me, in the New England league this year. He was Secured by New London from Montreal during the winter but after the opening of the Eastern associa- ton season was delayed. Manager McCann did not make any attempt to prevent the New London players from getting jobs elsewhere.
 Pitcher Green, the big New Lon don finger. will be with Lowell, Mass. this season. He has already reported there but they didn't have a uniform big enough for him so he hasn't done any work yet.
 Joe Pope, the former New Haven shortstop, is playing good ball for Binghamton- of the new York State league. Bill Powers, New London's star twirler, last season is also with Binghan1ton.
 Chappelle, the outfieIder who was sold by Milwaukee to the Chicago White Sox two years ago for SIS, 900, has been sent back to- Milwaukee. He proved one of the biggest disappoint- ments in big league history. It is said that Milwaukee paid the Chicago club $5,0OO for him.
 The New York Sun this morning. says the report that Zach Wheat has the Giants is untrue. DeniaIs anG counter denials will be handed out for a few days and then some kind of a deal will probably be announced.
 Owner James E. Gaffney of the Boston Braves will not uphold his players when they are guilty of rough language to umpires. He has notified President Tenner that Gowdy and Ty- Ter of the Braves must pay their own fines or be suspended. They were re- gently fined for picking on Umpire Quigley in Philadelphia
 Manager McGraw says Jim Thorpe has not been sent to Jersey City yet. He has not been able to obtain waiv- CTS on the Indian outfie1der- John J. Reisler,- the New York box ing promoter, better known as John the Barber; claims he is broke. He was sued for the lease of the New Am sterdam Opera House, which he had l rented for boxing events. John says he has only $1.51 in cash and has pawned all his jewelry.
 The Boston Braves will be in our midst next Sunday. Owner Gaffney of the worlds champions wired last night that the big leaguers- would come here to play Bridgeport. They were + to have appeared here April Ii but bad weather prevented. Johnny Evers is out of the game because of an injured ankle but all the other members of the worlds champions will appear. Rab- bit Maranville, Butch Schmidt, Hank Gowdy, Dick Rudolph, Red Smith and | other heroes will be on exhibition Martin, who made such a good sifnpres- sion on the fans by his work here last Sunday, will start in the box for Bridgeport and Smith will catch.

MOHR PUTS ON FINAL STUNTS FOR .TOMORROW'S FIGHT

Walter Mohr, who meets Sammy Robideau in the 1 round star bout at the Casino tomorrow night. boxed six rounds at Capt. Bonds in Strat-. ford, yesterday and showed all kinds of speed. For the first three sessions he took on Young McAniffe and in the final three had Mike Farrell of Brooklyn as opponent. Mo1r told Farrell to go ahead and do his worst but the Brooklyn boy could make no impression on Walter.
 Leach Cross, who batt1ed with Mohr in Waterbury recently, says Walter is one of the hardest oppon- ents he ever met. Cross declares he hit Mohr hard enough to drop almost anybody but the Brooklyn boy kept coming back.
 Johnny Loftus, who has charge of Robideau's training. says Sammy has found the Acorn A. c. gymnasium an ideal place to work. Robideau de- clares he will put Nohr away.
 Charlie Bergen of New Haven, who meets Young McAu1iffe in the semi-fnal. expects to take the state featherweight title from the local boy. fought a fast eight-round draw with Howard McCrae of Boston. Mo Au1iffe is training faithfully and says he will make Bergen step some to win.
 The preliminary will be an eight round affair between Battling Kunz of South Norwalk and Bud Palmer of this city Dave Fitzgerald of New Haven, will be referee, Terry Lee of hgan of Waterbury, tirnekeeper. It is estimated that 500 fans will come from Waterbury, New Haven, South Norwalk and Danbury.

The weight is to be 132 pounds, but each lad will be well under that poundage.

CORSET FITTING
IN MOVING PICTURES
Mccoy DEPARTMENT STORE EN-
CAGES THE LYCEUM THEATRE
FOR SPECIAL MATINEE.

The old saying that there is nothing
new under the sun will receive a de-
cisive negative in Minot on Thursday
afternoon, Oct 7th.
The Mccoy Department Store has
engaged the Lyceum Theatre of this
city for special matinee, which will
be limited to women only. This will
be a great disappointment to their
male patrons but as the seating capac-
ity will be taxed and as the film is of
direct interest to women only, men
will have to forego this matinee.
This film shows the actual fitting of
Gossard corsets, and woven around
the fittings is beautiful story en-
titled "How Marjorie Won, a Career"
1t required almost three months to
complete this film and the Mccoy De-
partment store is to be congratulated
on being able to get an early run on
the film.
Complimentary passes are being is
sued to the ladies of Minot and vicin-
ity in the corset department of Nc
Coy's. You can get as many as you
like for yourself and friends.
Moving pictures are certainly COW
ering a wide range of activities and
there is no telling what one will see
next at the movies. That they are ex-
ercising a wonderful educational in
fluence no one can deny and we have
no doubt that the Mccoy store will
find themselves besieged for requests
to this matinee for women only.

CARS NEEDED FOR
FEDERATION CONVENTION.

1t is estimated that more than
three hundred delegates to the State
Federation of Women's Clubs will at
tend the big meeting in this city from
Oct. IL to Is. The citizens of Minot
have always been most liberal in the
use of their automobiles for conven-
tion purposes and it is hoped that
they will be especially so this year,
for there will be so many demands
for cars during the meeting.
All those who will kindly give the
use of their cars during a part Of the
convention, and especially for Thurs
day evening for the Federation Tea at
the Normal and for Friday afternoon
for the automobile ride about the city,
will please make arrangements to do
so. Three autos will be parked in
front of the Elks Home during the
convention for the use of the visitors.
AS far as is possible, each convention
car will be marked with the Federated
Clubs colors, green and white.

SEPTEMBER MORN
ATTRACTED many
SOMEWHAT ABBREV-
lated BUT NO ONE ASKED
FOR HIS MONEY BACK AT THE
CLOSE OF THE PERFORM ANCE.

The largest musical comedy com
pany that has yet appeared in this
city was that which played "Septem-
Der Morn" to a capacity house at the
Grand Tuesday night. Manager st.
Clair of the Grand journeyed to
Grand Forks, where he saw the pro-
duction, and he returned pronouncing
it first class. Consequently, he had no
trouble in selling every seat, and it
became necessary to display the S.
R. O. sign.
The company carries seventy-slx
people. There were numerous beautl-
fully decorated, well-shaped chorus
girls, several very fair singers, a good
comedian or two, and high kickers ga.
lore. Minot has hardly gotten used
to costumes quite so abbreviated, but
inasmuch as this is regarded as a
metropolitan city, our people felt that
they had to like it and call it good.
September Morn isn't exactly a Sun
day school play. The parasol shadow
dance showed the figures of the bevy
of pretty maidens rather too distinct
ly, but no one asked for his money
back as he passed out into the cold,
dreary world at the close of an ex-
ceedingly swarm" performance.
A reproduction from the famous
painting, "September Morn,"' twas dis,
played from the stage, but this wasn't
at all necessary. Some features OF
the performance were quite clever and
the entire production proved pleasing
to those who attended.
