DunlOnt HELPED Winner
OF 5OO-MiIe Marathon
Broke Trail for Hartman in Final Stages of
Winnipeg to St. Paul Dog Race-Tells
+ of Latter's Hardships.

AUGUSTA. Ca. March 10.-If you
see any movies Of the finish of that
famous 6oO-mile dog race from Win
nipeg to st. Paul, watch for George
Dumont's face. Dumont finished with
Fred Hartman, the hero OF the long
grind.
Dumont lives in Minneapolis, across
the river from st. Paul, and naturally
was greatly interested in the big
race. With a friend, he journeyed
out thirty-seven miles from St Paul
and met Fred Hartman, the American
chemist from Massachusetts, who I'm
ished with only four frost-bitten dogs
and collapsed himself after crossing
the finish line. Dumont and his friend
remained with Hartman for several
days after the race, the Washington
pitcher assisting him on the stage.
Dumont HBroke Trail,
I'VE just did It for fun" says Du-
mont, but 1t proved far harder than
we expected. For more than fifteen
miles I had to break trail in snow
twenty feet deep, covered by a thick
crust. It was hard work pulling
your feet out OF holes in the crust
harder than any baseball I've ever
played.
Hartman was in q bad way when
We Joined him. He was all in him
self, and his four dogs, small ones,
had sore feet from the cinders on
the railroad track, which was on the
trail. Every couple OF hours We had
to put new canvas boots on the dogs,
for they wore them out that fast:
Hartman Is q little fellow, stocky
and full OF grit. He went into the
race just because everybody across
the line boosted the Indian brothers,
the campbells. He said that an Amer
lean would show tast as much cour-
age as any Indian, II not more.

Could Not Have Signed With

SAM CRANE IMPRESSES
Old Fox Likes Rockies Fielding,
But His Batting Ability
Is Unknown.
By LOUIS A. DoUGHER.

AUGUSTA, Ga, March 11.-Follow-
ing g talk he had with Manager Grif-
nth, Charlie Humphries, the Rich
mond southpaw, has decided to pay
the $53O7 charged against him by
the National Commission in Cincin-
natl. Humphries will sign . WASH
ington contract.
"Humphries has more stuff this
year than he showed me last spring
at Charlottesville" said Manager
Griffith today. ''He Is a little fellow,
but he is strong, has plenty of speed.
and has q good curve ball. He has q
chance to make good.
II told him where he got of in his
fight with the National Commission.
] think he saw the point II he will
pay that S53.07 he can sign with me,
for I think he has a chance to make
good"
Players Work Hard.
Two more sessions were in order
yesterday for the Griffmen, with
every player worked to his utmost
Ray Morgan. Ed Charity, and Harry
Harper had to hustle through both
sessions.
Today Is q day of rest, every player
being allowed to sleep as long as he
wished. No telephone bells rang to-
day, and the tired athletes hit the hay
until noon. Short walks served to
timber them up before dinner, but to-
morrow the old grind will be on
again
Crane Makes Good.
Sam Crane has made q good impress
sion upon Manager Griffith by his
fielding so far. or course. there is
no telling how good a man is at the
bat, for the pitchers have been unable
to cut loose. Judging from the work
of the players to date, the practice
games will begin about Tuesday or
Wedne sday.
However, when the two teams start
North it is dollars to doughnuts that
George Mcbride will leave with the
first teams and Crane will go home
to Washington by way OF the Caro-
linas and Virginia Mcbride Is in per-
feet shape, and owing to his expert
ence is the logical man for the place
with the first team
MenOskey Slams One.
During two sessions yesterday un-
der blistering sun the players toiled..
Mike Menoskey slammed one ball over
the right field wall and Ed Charity
hammered one over the left field
fence. Their drives were longest of
the days practice. Carl Sawyer en-
gagged in his first days work, playing
third base with the SECOND team in
the morning. He showed a good arm
and plenty of life in gathering in the
grounders. Last year he was thought
TO have a weak arm, but he showed
himself yesterday to have a wing of
iron.
Everybody worked hard, with the
single exception OF Harry Harper,
whose arm is sore. Tomorrow this
big southpaw will don q heavy red
undershirt and toll with the bunting
squad. He will not be called upon
to work on the rubber until he notifies
manager Griffith that his arm is
strong.
Today the players enjoyed a much
earned rest. Some of them went to
church in the morning and others are
planning visits to churches tonight.

DUCKPINNERS PLAN
CAMP ON POTOMAC
Prominent BowIers Support
Idea for Coming Summer.
Stanford Fishing Champion.

Washington bowlers will exercise
at fishing instead of bowling this
spring and summer, If plans OF sew
eraI leading pinspillers receive sup
port. Fishing is not an exercise, &C
cording to the way most people look
at It, but Harry Stanford, a member
OF the Royal duckpin team, Is re-
sponsible for the statement that 1t Is
at various times.
Stanford is one of many bowlers
down on the river, last summer, and
he says they caught so many FISH
that II was not mere exercise, but
work, pulling them in.
Many Favor Idea.
However that may be, a movement
is afoot to establish a camp for
bowlers on the Potomac. Among
those In favor OF 1t are Harry B. Hal
ley, Harry Krauss, Harry Stanford,
Bill Rider, Harry Weckerley, J. Ber-
nard Carroll, Earl Lewis. and many
other well-known bowlers.
The coming season Is expected to
be a banner one for all sports on
the Potomac, including fishing, swim
ming. canoeing, etc, and the bowlers
of Washington could maintain one OF
the finest camps on the river.
1t has been talked over by a num-
Der, and indications are that a camp
will be established chhiefiy for the
purpose of spending week-ends on the
river.
Stanford Claims Title.
In speaking OF Stanford. this indi-
viduaI claims the title of champion
fisherman of local bowlers,, willing to
fish against any OF 'em AT a nickel a
fish. Skinney Carroll takes exception
to Stanford's claim, citing an Incl
dent occurring at Curley's last year
which detracts from Stanford's mer-
its. 1t appears that Stanford had
been fishing for a considerable time
without getting a bite. while the
other members of the party were
pulling in catches hand over fst.
Somebody called attention to the
fact that Stanford's cork had bobbed
when the latter wasn't looking, and
Stanford pulled in. He had a fish,
right enough. and a peculiar fact is
that II was stone dead.
Couldn't stand the humiliation"
remarked Carroll, sorrowfully.
