MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 16 = The crying towel was wringing wet in these parts before the football sea- son had scarcely begun, for Min nesota again is setting the pace for the national fumbling cham pionShip contenders.
 Defending the title unoffic- ially bestowed last year, the Co., phers averaged five fumoles a game for their first two contests of 1883.
 Most of the moisture in the tow el got there after one Minnesota tumble flew into the hands of an Indiana player who raced 60 yards for a touchdown that tied the score.

 Marlin looked up from the table where he was working. "Rosalie's down in the lobby meeting some friends. Curt" he said kindly. She'll be back in minute" He laid his pen aside. "Curt. Rosalie told me the details about that Consolidated offer. If I'd known them beforehand. I wouldn't have mentioned this Kar. akhan matter at all. Of course you'll take that offer. It pays quite decent ly. and you'll enjoy the work; but this other is just charity"
 Curt winced. A-K's very kindness and generosity hurt him all the worse. He suddenly realized that if he refused Marlin and went back north he would come near to losing his own self-respect. He had always thought of AK with affection and admiration, as stern old Roman: but in those moments, as he saw how tired AK was and how much his shoulders had stopped in the past year. a great wave of sympa. thy. of pity. surged through him.
 AK seemed so much older. so much nearer the last mastering out, than he had been year ago. Some body ought to help him and be good to him; he had always helped others.
 "A-K"-he blurted out the fateful words impuIsively. needless of con. sequences-"Pm going after Kara khan! came in here minute ago swearing that wouldn't; but am; I've got to!"
 Marlin pushed back his chair and stood up. staring at him.
 "Why-why. Curt. you mustn't do that. l wasn't expecting you to at all. Don't do 1t on the spur of the moment. At least think 1t over-"
 I've thought 1t over. can go back north afterward. This case means a lot to you and the Police and the public. and ought to do my share"

 By gosh, must have! But that's the first time in my born days that I ever left twenty iron men in my pocket and forgot all about 'em!" He did jig dance in front of the mirror. What mean. this comes along in the thin nick of time to save me from embarrassment"
 "Cheerio. Stay out of jail"
 AS Smash went whistling to the IA elevator, Curt turned again and looked down. hands in pockets, at the light gleams on the river below. He was torn with indecision. one part of his nature pulling against the other. He could not clearly see or word the real significance of the struggle. but he did know that his conscience hurt him about AK.
 Over at Vancouver headquarters Marlin had needed him. needed young hands and a man he could trust: and he had deserted. And now he was refusing even to help on this Karakhan business. What were a few months of sacrifice compared to a whole lifetime of it, such as Marlin had given?
 As he thought of A-K's career and gazed down at the historical Sass katcnewan, the Swift Flowing. his imagination drifted back across the decades to time before he was born: when Assiniboine tepees clns tered where office buildings now stood. and the lights beneath hiEi

The engagement of Stanley Ray mond Harris to manage the Bos- ton Red Sox and the forecast of Mickey Cochrance's selection for the Detroit job not only seems to complete the roster of pilots for 1884 but dispels the idea that Babe Ruth will leave the Big Town, at least for the fulfillment of any managerial aims and ambi- tions.
 Put down as piece of imag- ination any suggestion that Ruth would be interested or involved in buying into a big league club, such as the St. Louis Browns.
 In the first place the Babe can't write any check big enough to interest the holder of a major league franchise. Most of his inn portant money is tied up. And even if he could, his wife wouldn't 1 let him.
 There is well-defined reason for belief that Ruth talked over a proposition to manage Detroit, on a salary and percentage basis, depending on the gate receipts This may have advanced no fur ther than the conversational stage, but it is intriguing and holds possibilities. It would be inter- esting to see just how much diff ference in the gate" the Babes presence in new setting would make
 This would depend, naturally on how consistently Ruth could take his place in the lineup in 1894 and do the stuff that pulls 'em through the turnstiles. It is a gamble that apparently other magnates are willing now to let Colonel Ruppert take.
 BREAK FOR BUCKY
 Harris, with the Red Sox, has the best chance to show his tal- ents as a leader since he left the Washington Senators.
 Bucky enjoyed few good breaks with the Tigers and he was lim- tied in what he could work with Detfoit's policy was to develop most of it's talent. This not only
