ology has been going the rounds for
the past three seasons but Tyrus
still seems able to hold down his
job with the Tigers and manages to
pilfer quite few bases every year.
Yes! And he can still hit that OIL
pill too.
In another month or so it will be
time to try and get Municipal skat-
ing rink for the Capital City. That's
the swell winter sport, alright, al
right, and then besides some hockey
games could be worked in nicely for
the benefit of followers of the great
Canadian game.
Promoters of the boxing game claim
negotiations are well underway to
match Mike Gibbons and Battling Le-
whisky in the Twin Cities some time
in October The boys will probably
go over a ten round route and the
concensus of opinion seems to he
that it will be some mill.
Nope, we aren't goin' to cover the
worlds serious this year. In the first
place we haven't any idea as to where
the big show will be pulled off and
then besides you know the war is
still on, Villa is still on the rampade
in Mexico and it looks like a long,
hard winter.
Somebody made crack the other
day that they would like to see Wash
ingto cop the pennant some year just
as a sorta joke. Walter Johnson has
been twirling great ball for many
seasons for that club but never seems
to have a team behind him that can
give him boost when he needs it
bad. If the Senators ever did get
across with a pennant win its ten
to one shot Congress would be con-
vened in special session to celebrate
the occasion.
Talk about lots of excitement here
this winter. They'll soon be getting
the basketball squads in action and
then things will boom in the sport
world.

OF course the first of next month
there will be a heap of II told you
SOS" wandering around the streets
loose but still there's chance for
an argument right now if anyone
cuts loose and tries to tell just what
club will nose in under the wire a
few games to the good.
That cold spell the weatherman
served up last week made one think
of pinochle, rummy, chess and a lot
of other indoor games. We forgot
to mention Kelly Pool. Does any
body know of anything that's got it
on good Kelly Pool game when the
mercury is ready to knock the bot
tom out of the thermometer?
Its a gosh darned long time since
we heard of a good pinochle league,
by Hec. What dye say all you old
time followers of the game! Hain't
there a possible chance to line up
something of the kind in Bismarck?
Hughie Fullerton claimed at the
outset of the big league show that
the Boston Braves and the Boston
Red Sox would climb out on top OF
the heap in their respective leagues
this year. Well, have it your own
way. But what we we're going to
say is that those two teams are as
alike as two beans. Whoa there gal!
Watch your step.
At that Hughie jennings Tigers are
putting up a great fight and it would
be delight to many to see Detroit
hang up a good score again for a
change. Maybe we're little bit pre-
JUDGED but that's a great I'll club
and we'd like to see them get there
at that.
Somebody stated the other day that
the St. Louis Browns are coming right
along. Sure, so is Christmas.
Pop bottles and old shoes are al
ready being gathered in Chicago in
preparation for the city series, it is
! claimed.

That speed boat, Miss Minneapolis,
kinda stuck up mark that will make
devotees of the water game worry
some before theysgo her one better.
The little craft travelled 66.6 miles
per for a record and that's goin' some
through the deep blue sea jessa same.
OF course this is a dry state but
can'tcha let a Teller rave once in a
while?
1t has been announced that Mil.
burn Saylor has been matched with
Hal Stewart for ten round bout at
Fort Wayne, September %. OF course
this announcement is no reason why
anyone should desire to be in Fort
Wayne on that date.
With this cold spell getting the
best of us its ten to one the wrestlers
will be dodgin' in and out of the
city in the near future looking for
match. Well, it looks like hard
winter and everyone can prepare for
almost anything nowadays. Sure,
amt preparedness the big issue right
now? Why certainly, Eddie, you said
it all in those few choice woids.
And don't forget the bowling game.
The ten pin pastime will be the big
drawing card for several weeks to
come and the fans are going to work
off lota surplus energy and pep
on the alleys. That Commercial lea
que takes the eye at that and the
pin spillers are showing considerable
interest in the coming matches.
New York fans presented Christy

Bonehead Play Makes History.
1t was in that year that Fred Mer-
kle of the Giants failed to touch Sec
cond base and thereby caused a play
off in which the Chicago Cubs beat
the Giants for the National league
flag.
In this hottest of all races now 60
ing on, Alexander of the Phils and
Cobb of the Tigers are the most SEN
sational figures. Cobb, after trailing
iris Speaker in batting all season,
has started one of his famous last
stretch drives, determined to lead the
league in batting for the tenth con-
secutive season. ....rs,-..
His squirt has put new pep into the
Tigers. The team has taken to hit
ting and the pitchers have improved.
Alexander won the pennant for the
Phils last season and this year has
won more games than any pitcher in
the major leagues. 1t is mostly upon
his right arm that the Phils depend.
Pitches Two a Day to Win.
Little Dick Rudolph is not only TAX
ing his regular turn ir the box but
pitching double headers in an effort
to put the Braves on top again. Jake
Daubert, out of the Brooklyn lineup
for a time, with injuries, is back,
leading the onslaught.
Faber, the iron man of the Chicago
White Sox, lost to the team half the
season through injuries, is now count
ed sure winner every time he starts.
Dutch Leonard, pitching hero of the
Boston Red Sox last season, is again
leading the strongest pitching staff
in the league.
No matter which clubs win i'll the
two big leagues, it is not probable
another such hair-raising finish will
ever be staged-six teams separated
by only few points and the result
probably to be in doubt until the last
day Of the season.

The outlook for the coming bowl
ing season is exceptionally bright
and devotees of the game have al
ready exhibited deal of interest in
the Commercial league that has been
organized. To date II teams are en-
tered in the league and, commencing
next Wednesday evening. match
games will be in session practically
every night until the holiday season.
Several of the captains of the vari-
Gus quints entered in the pin spilling
contest for this year met at the Capt.
tai City alleys last evening and talked
things over. Officers have not been
elected as yet, due to the fact that
all aggregations were not represented
at last nights talk-fest, but this will
be attended to Immediately.
The players for the various teams
we're picked, so that things would be
e"ened up as much as possible. It
was thought that this would be bet
ter idea than to have each captain
select his men personally, and in this
way all of the crack boWlers will not
be playing with one or more teams.
The work of selecting players for the
respective squads was handled by a
few of Bsmarck's premier alley ar
lists and the captains of the teams
are not held liable in any way, shape
or form.
The Teams.
The II teams entered with their
captains heading the list, follow:
Wholesalers-Baker, Cayou, Gin
ton, Olson and Mclaughlin.
.Retaiers-Joe Sneider. Geiermann,
Kosen. Hoskins and George Burgess.
Commercial Club-Larson, Ker-
shaw, Stackhouse, Nichols and Bur
ton.
Tigers-Louis Schneider, Ted
Schneider, Wilkinson, C. Fisher and
H. Grandson.
Capitol-Edwards Wanner, Tucker,
Bliss and Robinson.
Cubs-Bayne, Manan, Schneider,
Woodruff and Allensworth.
Braves-Jack Allen, H. Homan, Fin
negan. H. Larson and Horn.
High School-Bolt. Bresnahan,
Richholt. P. Holman and eastman.
Tribune-Gill, Ernie, Prenevost,
Humphreys and Hobza.
Firemen-Lambert, Calvin, Thomp-

Staff Special.
New York, Sept. 1S.-The 1916 pen
nant races in the two major leagues,
with six teams battling desperately
for the lead and with small chance
that the winners will be decided un'
til the very last day, is the greatest
in the 4O-year history of organized
baseball!
Never before since the first game
of organized baseball was played in
1876 have so many teams entered the
stretch so closely punched. Three
teams in the National league and
three in the American are in the thick
of the fighting.
The race of 1908 alone parallels the
1916 battle. At the beginning OF the
last month of that season three teams

Wild Pitch Costs Team Pennant.
The hot dash now on recalls the
hot dashes of other years. There
was the mad race of 1904 with New
York and Boston battling to finish in
the American league. New York, dis
abled from time to time but kept
fighting by the game Clark Griffith,
finally lost when Jack Chesbro, the
leading pitcher of the league that
season, let go with wild pitch in
n crucial game with Boston.

The big league teams are putting

EXPECTS SAFE CONDUCT
FOR COUNT TARNOWSKI
State Department Takes It for
Granted New Austrian Envoy Will
Be Allowed Through Blockade.

The State Department has taken II
for granted that Count Tarnowski. new
Austrian amba assador, would be accord
ed diplomatic immunity on his trip to
his post here, and should it be denied
him a controversy on the subject may
ensue between this government and the
entente powers.
Some time ago the department neti-
fed the British and French govern
ments that the new ambassador was
expected to sail for the United States
December 1G. Technically, it is ex-
planed. no request for a safe conduct
was included, because none was con-
sidered necessary.
Since the notification was sent no
reply has reached the department. but
press dispatch from Vienna a week
ago announced that safe conduct for
the ambassador had been obtain ed
through American diplomatic channels
with permission for two persons to ac-
company him. That dispatch, which. it
is suggested here. may have referred
to negotiations carried on by American
diplomatic representatives in Europe
md not reported to the State Depart
ment, added that change in the per-
nit would be necessary. because the
count had decided to bring a retinue OF
ten persons to the United States.
Officials here are inclined to believe
that if any hitch has occurred it prob
ably concerns only the number of per-
sons that may accompany the ambassa-
dor, and does not involve the right OF
Count Tarnowski himself to come
through the blockade lines.
