A Visitor From Montana.

Senator M. j. Minor of Anaconda,
Mont, is in town visiting his father,
M. J. Minor. "Morrie,' as he is known
in Mineral Point, lives in Anaconda
with his sister Miss Fannie and his
brother Levi, and they are happily sit
uated. Senator Minor has just made an
extensive trip, travelling from Montana
as far east and south as Cincinnati and
Louisville, and is this far on his way
west again. He is confident that the
Democrats will carry Montana; and he
saws that the talk all along the line is
for Wilson.
He is known as one Of the strong
Wilson men of the northwest. He says
that he first read of Woodrow Wilson
as a presidential candidate in The
Democrat; and when the paper came
along containing Mr. Wilson's picture
he said, well who are the Crawford
brothers supporting now?'

Well Balanced Power
with four such entries as Giants, Robins.
Braves and Phillies It is fairly certain, or
approximately so, that an Eastern club will
win the National League pennant this sea-
son.
But the reported weakness of the West
ern clubs hasn't shown as yet All four are
showing much better form than they are
supposed to have. the Reds and Cubs espe-
cially showing surprising strength. Two
months play generally Is sufficient to show
a good test of comparative power. This
being the case, the National League has
the keenest balance 1t ever has known In
1908 three clubs were almost tied on the
final play, less than game apart. But for

The Change
Baseball for 1915 in both major leagues
has come to one big change. In the old
days there always were three or four clubs

CRACK SPRINTERS
WILL CAPTAIN SIX
COLLEGIATE TEAMS
Two Of the Lot, Kelly and
Hoyt, Are the Fleetest
in Country
DISTANCE MEN SECOND

Sprinters Just now are being given the
preference In the selection of captains for
the 1917 collegiate track teams. six of the
twelve chosen to this time being athletes
who specialize In the dashes. This is the
dope sheet as 1t looks as this writing:
Chicago. Fisher, high jumper.
Princeton, Moore, sprinter.
Holy Cross, Kelly, sprinter.
Harvard. Teschner, sprinter.
Grinnell, Hoyt, sprinter.
Swarthmore. Bonner, sprinter.
Williams, Stafford sprinter
Cornell Foss, pole vaulter
Dartmouth, Worthington. broad jumper.
Yale, Overton, distance runner
Pennsylvania, Dorsey, distance runner.
Michigan, Carroll, distance runner.
Two of these sprinter leaders are among
the fastest who ever tore around In spiked
shoes-Hoyt and Kelly. And they haven't
been heard of much because they sport the
colors of colleges that do not mix with the
big -four. In the New England intercolle-
giates Kelly ran 4-5 seconds for the 100
yards and 21 3-5 seconds for the 220 yards
which every one must admit is pretty fine
travelling.
Now we come to Hoyt He is to the
Grlnnell track team what Bob Simpson is
to the University of Missouri what Fred
Murray is to the University Of Leland
Stanford, what Ted Meredith is to the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. In fact, Hoyt is
much more of hero at Grinnell than
Meredith Is at Penn.
Here are some of the things that Hoyt
did this spring: He won the 100 and 22O
yard dashes and the high and low hurdle
races; In every dual meet Grinnell particl-
pated In he won the 100 and 22O yard
dashes in the Iowa State conference meet:
he won the 100 and 220 yard dashes In the
Drake relay games in Des Moines, which
correspond with the Penn relays here, and he
brought the relay team home first in every
meet In the Drake School meet Hoyt ran
the 100 yards in AS seconds and then
turned In 21 3-5 seconds for the furlong on
a curve track. Just to prove that there
wasn't any fuke in the 100 yards timing,
1t may be worth mentioning that Hoyt beat
Smith the intercollegiate champion, by
three yards in one of the semifinals.

Competition

Georges Carpenter the French heavy
weight champion, now serving with the
aero detachment of the French army around
Verdun, declined an offer of 100000 to
hox one 2O.round bout and two exhibition
contests in Buenos Aires, according to Pro-
moter Marcel Peacan Del Sar. who has
sailed for South America from New York
accompanied by several American boxers.
who will take part In a ring carnival in
Argentina during July and August
Peacan Del Sar several weeks ago visited
Carpenter in Paris, the young heavyweight
receiving permission to leave the front for
the conference, but he could not sway him
from his desire to remain with the army.
"You could not tempt me with a million
dollars" Carpenter said according to the
Argentine promoter. while my friends
and countrymen are falling all around me
1 would under no consideration even think
of entering the ring again. Maybe when
the war is over I will listen to your propo.
sition, but not before
Peacan Del Sar saw a great field for
boxing In Argentina, and in an endeavor
to learn just how 1t will take there he has
invested S125,000 in the boxing carnival
which will be held in connection with the
10th anniversary of the city during July
and August. The greater part of this
money will be distributed among the Ameri.
can boxers, the last group of whom will
sail for Buenos Aires on June IT, with
Billy Gibson as their chaperon.
Jack Johnson, deposed heavyweight cham.
pion, may be seen In Comeback" bout
during the Argentine tournament. He is
now in Spain. boxing occasionally accord.
ing to reports sent here. and Peacan Del
Sar expects he will sail for Buenos Aires
duriDE the summer.
The negro heavyweight championship will
be settled there in August with the meet
ings of Sam Langford, Harry Wills, Sam
McVey and Joe Jeanette, and II is likely
that johnson will meet the winner OF this
series.
