A defi- mite statement is to be made tomor- row in connection with the ticket sales, Campbell announced.
 The largest crowd that has wit messed Tommy Gibbons in a workout saw him in his afternoon clash with four sparring partners. Gibbons worked with dash and speed despite the broiling sun. The challenger drew his punches and none of his sparring mates suffered.
 Jimmy Delaney started off at high speed, but in the second round Glb- bors opened With barrage of lefts and uppercuts, interspersed with right crosses which came too thick for Delaney.

BARONS-PEL OPENER IS RAINED OUT
 BUT WILL BE FRIDAY, AN OFF DAY

When the barrier flew up Thursday afternoon, sending the field scurrying down the track in the days heat of the Southern league flag race, those Barons and Pelicans were left idle at the post. The track was too moist for those pastimers, and they were forced to spend the after noon watching the speed of their stuff in the great cycle of base ball that is to decide the gon- falon winner of 1923.
 It was rainy day down at New Orleans--in fact. the summer seems productive of just one great big rainy day for those downtrodden Barons-and Stuffy Stewards men and the Pelicans were forced to spend the day in idleness.
 The lay-off didn't hurt those Barons a bit, for those boys have been going at a gate that would make some of the present day fire wagons collapse with envy. In their last 19 games. played in something like 15 days, the Barons have won Il games, tied one and lost seven. That's quite , off day didn't hurt the boys in the least.
 Thursdays postponed game will be played off Friday, while dOublc-hen ender will be staged at New Orleans Saturday. The twin bill tomorrow is the outcome of game rained out betwcent the Pels and Barons in n previous series down at the Crescent City.
 The death of snake is slow, they say, slow as the setting of the sinking sun, and it is not until the west has Swallowe up the great, red ball of fire that the reptile finally and complete ly passes away.
 And so it is with that Wilson, Proto squabble at the B. A. c. Monday night. As slimy as any reptile was that affair, and as slow to die, as the crawling snake is the aftermath of the thing.
 There were a few new devel- opments Thursday, namely:
 The American league won't promote Wilson-Proto fight. This information came from a reliable source, after rumors had persisted that the veterans would back the show.
 Another organization may take over the staging of the bout, probably on July 4, in an audi torium on the north side that will seat over 2,000 people.
 Tommy Tompkins and the B. A. c. have severed connections and forever and day will continue as strangers.
 Club officials have stated that they are holding nothing against Wilson or Proto, but are barring them while under present man. agership.

 Alabama's two great institu- tions-Universit and Auburn. have united in a fight on viola tions of conference dules within their ranks. The sporting editor of The Age-Herald received letter from c. l.. Hare, faculty chairman of athletics at Auburn, in which it was stated that Hare and pr. l. S. Thomas, who holds like position at Alabama. had joined together in a fight on summer baseball In this state.
 Queries have been sent to all Auburn and Alabama athletes who are playing summer base ball to ascertain whether con- ference rules are being strictly followed out. All conditions must be complied with, or the offend- ing athletes will be barred from participation in college sports next year.
 Hare and Thomas are to be commended on their stand on the question, and if their lead was followed generally throughout the south a more compact, more efficient conference would be the result.
 They are laying down the law out in Montana, and tearing up the morale of the boxing world. as they stir their stumpS Tn an effort to save the Dempsey Gibbons fight for July 4.
 Dempsey and kearns-a pair Of
 whom Montana business men are about to dub set of knaves- have just learned that, unless they refund the s210.000 already collected, if the big bout is called off. they will have something more than a dizzy headed set or cowboy and oil digging pro- motors to deal with. The state will take them in tow, it was stated, unless things turn out O. K.

SATURDAYS CITY LEAGUE SCHEDULE PITS GOOD TEAMS

InglenCok will meet Southern Bell in the central division of the City
 league Saturday in what will prob- ably be the closest game In that di- vision. Standard Oil should win
 easily from Woodward unless the latter shows the style of play again ! that she showed against Inglenook | while the Alabama Power company has the odds on Acipco.
 The game that will probably at tract the most interest in the eastern
 division will be the, one between All l America Shoe company and East Lake. The Cityyleague fans are still
 wondering over the formers great Thinning victory ever Avondale Park in which Lefty" Williams set the
 Parkers down with five hits. It was the first game that Avondale had lost. East Lake has a strong team
 and the game should be good one if the Shoers are playing like they did last week.
 The Knights of Columbus and AvLndale Mills stage a hot game, figuring from comparative dope. s1 Tire company should win from
 Sayreton.
 West End will meet the Class B
 leaders, the Boys club, in the feature
 game of that division.

MIDSUMMER DAY

ANNIVERSARY OF
THE NORTHERN MINNESOTA
MIDSUMMER ASSOCIATION.

Rapid strides are being made
on the program of the Midsummer
Day celebration to be held in this
city on June oath to celebrate the
Twentieth Anniversary of The or
ganization of the Northern Mime
sofa Midsummer Celebration Asso-
citation. The program is being
made up of addresses by noted
speakers in both the Finnish and
English languages, instrumental and
vocal music and games of all kinds.
The celebration will take place at
Sandy Point and will be attended
by parties from all sections of the
country. We were informed today
that already some are on their way
from Dakota to this city by car to
participate in the festivities. Ely
has not had the meeting for several
years and the coming g~et-together
this year is supposed to attract
many from all parts of the country.
Finnish residents of Michigan, Wis
consin and Minnesota have signifed
their intention of celebrating in Ely
and a large %concourse of visitors is
expected. The program has as yet
been entirely completed but
enough is known to assure a fine
time.

the program carried out this year
and that planned. He said that the
college was meeting all the require
ments, that the work given here
was much above the average, and
that there was no question about
the students receiving credit for the
first two years work at any univer-
sity. Next year the curriculum
will include the second year ac-
ademic work to complete this years
study and some Of the practical
work of the first two years of en-
%gineering, such as shop work and
surveying. Several more instruct
ors will be added to the faculty,
more instruction in biology will be
given and courses in economics and
business will be installed. The col
lege is already well provided for
in the way of shops, reference lib
rary, and chemical laboratory and
has the promise of all other equip
ment and facilities needed. This
first years work just ending was
outlined in part by Dean Shuinway
of the University of Minnesota, who
is in charge of all junior college
work in the state.

Both of these people are too well
