Not That Kind of Ball

From what the manufacture
ers say of the ball which will
be in use this season the
stitches are not so pronounced
as many imagine, and the be-
lief is that no trouble will be
encountered with sore finge.'s,
such as Lefty" Grove suf-
fered last season, even with the
smooth-surfaced ball.
Jack Quinn's signing with
the Brooklyn Robins has re-
called to thousands of fans the
issue of Jacks real age. While
we are unable to settle this
dispute for any of you, we can
pass on the funniest story we
ever heard regarding Quinn's
years.
1t was on one of those long
train jumps the Athletics have
had to take from time to time
and the players, firing of
cards, crossword puzzles and
other Pullman pastimes, fell to
riding Quinn about bis age.
John PicuS, by nature
"loner" and a very quiet man
with it, took no part in the
ribaldry, but kid" Gleason, no
youngster himself, you know,
brought a chuckle even to the
Sedate Quinn by going over to
his seat and saying:
Tell me, Jack, what kind
of a looking guy was General
Grant?"

Abe Beavers, Rex ace, had a

O'Donnell assumed charge of the

Judging by the questionable
receptions given by Max Schme-
ling in the scenes of his first
three exhibitions of his Ameri-
can tour, 1 believe there is
some justification to fear for
the size of the gate at the
forthcoming fight between the
German champion and Young
Stribling.
True, as between Washing
ton, Baltimore and Hagerstown,
the sites wherein Schemling has
so far exhibited, Washington
turned out in greater numbers
than either of the other two
towns.
The fact remains that at
small prices compared to those
which will prevail when Schme-
ling meets Stribling, it was un-
necessary to hang out the
standing room only" signs.
Nowhere, so far, have the pro-
moters had to turn 'em away.
1 imagine Damon Runyon,
promoter of the Schmeling-
Stribling fight, is keeping his
ear very close to the ground
for the reaction to Schmeling's
tour through the sticks, because

The Cavaliers of Virginia Uni
versity and the Old Liners Of
Maryland University clash to-
night in the Ritchie Gym at Col
lege Park in a game that should
be marked by feverish play. The
game will be called at 8:15 o'clock.
Maryland is deeply anxious over
this contest and wants to send
it's Southern guests home with a
defeat, though such is impolite
and not at ali in keeping with
American hospitality.
Virginians Were Unkind
However, the College Park lads
remember that the Virginians
didn't treat them SO nicely upon
a recent visit to Charlottesville.
In fact, the Virginians were so
uncharitable as to paste a 34-31
defeat on the College Parkers for
their only loss to Southern
Conference rival.
Maryland has another ancient
rival as it's guests tomorrow
night when the Western Mary.

The Georgetown and Catholic
University representatives failed
to impress in the Meadowbrook
Games in Philadelphia last night.
Al Kelly, G. U. sprinter, finished
second to Tomaski, New York
A. c., in the 40-yard final. To
mask and Kelly each had foot
handicap. Kelly, who won his
heat in the special invitation 40
yard dash, was shutout in the
finals. Bernie Bonniwell did moth
ing in the high jump, which went
to George Spitz, sensational New
York U. freshman, with leap OF
6 feet 4 inches.
A speedy half mile by Healy,
anchor man, enabled Penn to grab
the two-mile relay race from
Georgetown, the first time that
the G.. U. two-mile team had been
beaten in the MeadoWbrook
Games in four years. Jack Mara,
running last for the Hilltoppers,
was sent away with 30-yard lead,
but probably viewed the situation
without alarm until too late.
StumbIeS, Race Is Lost
Artie Briggs, running second
leg on the G. U. one-nile four,
stumbled as he cut the bank too
sharply and lost considerable
ground. The result was that
Georgetown finished third and
last to New York University and
Penn. The Catholic University
one-mile relay ran third and last
to Princeton and st. Johns Col

The good Chief showed his
fear of the flying tackle" be-
fore 4,5O0 fans at the Washington
Auditorium last night when for
some 40 minutes he managed to
avoid McMillen's tackle. The
redskin used every trick to
stave off the former University
of Illinois gridder.
Avoids Flying Tackle"
Whenever McMillen gave the
faintest sign that he intended to
lunge at White Feather, the In
dian would drop to his launches
and thus protect his stomach.
He didn't want big Mac" to
toss all his weight into his
tummy. Sometimes, the Chief
amused the crowd by stepping
outside the ropes or running
around the ring with McMillen
in pursuit.
There were times, though,
when the Chief came to the
center and dared meet Nc
Millen in the open. These Oc-
caSiOns we're marked by an ex-
change of punches, sometimes
McMillen sending home hard
right and sometimes the Chief
Smacking McMillen to the
canvas. Indeed. this match
abOunded in action and sent
the fans home talking to them
selves.
The Chief became too bold.

From the Washington's clubs

late this month, Prexy Clark

to National Capital baseball fans.

Eddie Eynon the Old Fox said:

Big Fred Marberry, crack
Washington pitcher, is nearer to
an agreement with Griffith than
has been the case for some time,
It is claimed.

declared. "He merely wants to

Pitcher Ad LiSka, it is under

q bonus plan which will enable
him, if he is winner, to top his
flat salary figures for 1881. No
doubt it will be reached in jig
time.
Of the other unsigned members,
Utility Infielder Jack Hayes and
Youthful Jimmy Mcleod, Hayes
appears the most determined to
put up an argument. Mcleod,
who likely will be optioned out
to the minors for more expert
ence, is asking for more money,
but, in good time, undoubtedly
will come to an agreement.
Hayes, during the past two
seasons, has shown an inclination
to balk at the terms offered. The
Clanton (Ala) boy was rewarded
with raise this season in recog-
milton for his clever 1880 perform

FOLKS PASSES AWAY
IN MINNEAPOLIS

Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Miller and daugh-
ter, Miss Ellen, and Axel Birkholm
were in Minneapolis yesterday to at
tend the funeral of Godfrey Larsen
the we'll known leader of the Mime
apolis police band.
Mrs. Godfrey Larsen is sister OF
Mrs. Carl Miller and of AXel Birk-
holm, hence the Larsen family have
been frequent visitors in Askov.
On May % it will be just 10 years
since Mr.. and Mrs. Larsen's son, God
frey, Jr., was instantly killed in a
sad dual railroad crossing accident in
the village of Askov. Godfrey Larsen,
Jr., worked for Carl Miller in the old
hardware store here for about six
years.
The Minneapolis Journal contained
the following front page article about
Mr.. Larsen Monday evening, May II:
Curly" Larsen, smiling leader of
the Minneapolis police department
band for the last IA years, died today
at Fairview hospital, after an illness
of three weeks. He was Sc years old.
Few of the thousands of men and
women who knew and admired the
man and his musical work in Min
neapolis, knew him as Godfrey Lar
sen. He was simply Curly"
He is survived by his wife, four
daughters, Mrs. Wilhelm Larsen, Mrs
Victor Christensen, Mrs. William
Johnson and Mrs. George Hessburg
and a son, Richard.
1t was in 1917 that Curly" was
chosen to lead the police band, and
today, although he never was men,
Der of the force, he was being mourned
as one of the old-timers of the depart
ment.
Three years ago, he was invited to
head the Franklin Creamery band
and since then directed that organiza-
tion at park programs and church and
club gatherings.
For the last year he led the Shrine
band and appeared with it at the i'm
perial sessions in Toronto.
Curly" was born in Denmark and
came to Minneapolis when he was Is
years old. He had intended to be q
railroad man but the call of music
was stronger and he began his studies
specializing on the cornet.
Today he is remembered as one Of
the most popular and colorful banG
leaders who ever led uniformed bani
in Minneapolis.

That DR.. E. X. Fenger, son of Mrs.
P. N. Fenger of Askov village, and
doctor in the Glen Lake Sanatorium
at Minneapolis, is doing well in the
medical field is emphasized by the
fact that he was selected to give a
report on new form of tuberculin
recently discovered, before a joint
association and the National Tuber-

"A new form of tuberculin, used to
detect tuberculosis infection by means
of skin reaction and eliminating diff
ficulties that have obstructed early
diagnosis of the disease, was an

joint session of the American Sana-

tuberculosis association in Syracuse,

'Dr. Fenger said the substance,
which he named "Ma-1O0," represents
the results of activities of scientific
investigations over period of six
years and has four distinct advan-
tages.
1T is free from all substances that
might render the positive reaction
uncertain; it can always be produced
at the same iso-electric point of pre-

what is manufactured by the germ of
