| HC NCN. hnOWlcS Oh Du-
luth has issued an ultimatum to the
effect that no Sunday ball games
| will be allowed in that city under
no conditions. The Rev Harry is
| certainly success as a custodian
of public morals and it is becom-
ing question in the minds of
some people whether he means
what he says or whether influences
of not exactly Sunday nature are
tending to keep people away from
good innocent amusement in order
to kind of divide them up among
the hardware" establishments
about the city. Truly some peoples
aspirations run high.
Several from this city attended
the races at Eveleth on Dec. 80 and
to say the least were very much
disappointed in the outcome. One
of those in attendance was partic
ularly loud in his denunciation of
the manner in which awards were
made. In speaking of the matter
to representative of the Miner he
said: II am surprised to think that
some of those interested should re-
sort, to the measures used to defeat
the ends of true sport. Those that
went to the races went prepared to
see sport and not jockeying for
prizes. Walter Smiths Bessie who
was awarded second place by the
judges was clearly entitled to first
place and by all odds should have
had it. Bessie took the first heat
easily and in the second was crowd
ed off the track which was strictly
contrary to rules. Had the crowd
ing not taken place Mr.. Smiths
horse would have come under the
wire considerably ahead of the
others. 1t is strange that judges
should allow such doings but to one
up a tree it looked remarkably like
a case of premediated shut out for
Mr.. Smiths fast one and an event
20 boost the record of certain
horses whose owners claimed to
nave Mr.. Smith outclassed. This
is not sport nor justice and / am
sorry to see such things occur"
