MAKE It Hot One" is the slogan
adopted by the carnival boosters and
they will make every effort to have
the festivities come up to the same.
A Big Civic Enterprise.
The purpose of the carnival is to af-
ford a means for outsiders to take ad-
vantage of out-of-door recreation, and
in that connection it is planned to
erect toboggan slides and ski jumps in
various section of the city; to pro-
vide large ice Kinks, where hockey,
curling and skating matches will be
featured, and race course for horse
races on the ice. The facilities will
be for the free enjoyment of the pub
lie, the funds for carrying out the
project having been raised by popular
subscription.
Many Uniformed Toboegan Clubs.
The enthusiasm for the carnival is
general among St. Paulites, as is in
dictated by the number of marching,
snowshoe and toboggan clubs being
organized among the various clubs,
lodges and employees organizations.
Almost every large mercantile estab-
lishment, retail store, and lodge will
be represented by a uniformed club.
1t is expected that other clubs will be
contributed by surrounding cities and
towns.
Although the carnival proper will
last ten days, beginning Jan. p, the
toboggan slides and ski jumps, to be
erected in various sections of the city,
will be built previous to that time and
remain standing just as long as they
can be used.
Big Business Men Enthused.
The mayor and public officials, both
local and state, have entered heartily
into the carnival spirit, and have vol
unteered their services for various
committees The enthusiasm for the
project can best be proved by the fact
that during the holiday shopping pc
riod time of the year when mer-
chants we're bending every effort to
keep up with their sales, some of the
heads of the largest retail establish
ments took half day off, at time,
to solicit funds for the. carnival.

Game, 8 to 1.
BY TON CLEMENTS.

The Seventh infantry team OF the
Commercial league defeated the com
pany team Of the 23rd infantry,
member Of the City league, in an ex-
hibition game at Washington park,
Wednesday afternoon, in connection
with the Flag day celebration, the
score being s to l.
Clarence Duncan famed II men and
was stingy with his hits at all times
It was not until the final inning that
the 2Srd score off him
Martins double, errors by Francis

'BECK'S' AMEN CORNER

CLAUDE GRAHAM signed his con-
tract with the Feldmans on
Wednesday. As soon as the army
team decided that they did not need
Graham, the young hurler got in
touch with Dr.. ]. T. McCamant. He
signed at once and then asked that
his old battery-mate, "Red" Long
myre, be secured for catcher. It is
likely that there viii be three other
10th infantry players with the Field
mans.
PICHIE MITCHELL, a young light
Jeight of Milwaukee who is far
from being a near champion, got an
offer of $1,000 and two round trip
tickets to go to Buenos Ayres to
meet Benny Leonard. He agreed to
go b. wanted $4,000. If he should
be paid what he IS worth he'd prob
ably get 10 percent of his demands.
WALTER JOHNSON was out
pitched by jim Scott in Wed
mes game at chicago, when the
White Sox beat the Senators, ( to 1.
Each allowed eight hits but Scott
was tight in the pinches. Jake
Fournier celebrated his return to the
game with a double and a triple in
four trips to face the Senatorial
sensation.
ONE difference between sport and
politics is that you never know,
for sure, the result of a game in ad-
vance while the political program IS
cut and dried before the delegations
ever get near the convention hall.
CLARENCE DUNCAN is develop
ing into one of the classiest
pitchers in this section of the coun-
try. The Seventh Infantry finger
holds the Commercial league record
for the most strikeouts in a game
and his work in the Flag day game
at Washington park showed that he
is a consistent pitcher.

GOLFERS viii be interested in the
announcement that there will be
q tournament on the Cloudcroft
links, starting next Saturday, and
closing Monday. A silver loving cup
VIII be presented TO the winner. An
other tournament takes place on
July 1, ?, and (. It is likely that
E. PasO viii be well represented in
both events.
FANS need have no fear OF a repe-
tition of last Sundays troubles
at RIO Grande park. The CONNER
cial league directors have shown the
right spirit in dealing with the stu
alton. In fact, the trouble served TO
stir up the managers when action
was needed. The new Feldmans will
be a real team with Dr.. ]. T. Nc
Camant at the helm while the Sew
enth infantry is also to be greatly
strengthened.
uERB HALL, who used to bend
'em over" for the Phoenix Sen
ators in the old Rio Grande league,
has been the sensation Of the West
ern league this year. Herb is pitch
ing for Topeka and had not lost a
game until Monday, when his team
went down, ? TO l. He had one tie
game. Hall sh~ ed -ome stuff with
1hoenix and vent to Il American
association last fall but didn't make
good. He needed more experience
and it seems that he is getting it
with Topeka.
BILLY MEASON is reported to be
hitting the pill at a terrific pace
with the Paris, Tex, team and is
leading the league batters. Billy
made a reputation here as a graf
fielder but was apparently only a
fair batter. Now that he has dis
covered his batting eye, Billy is
likely to get into faster company
next year.

Fate of Race Game Appears

New Orleans. La, June 15.-When

Whichever way the pari-mutuel bin
