BOY PLAYER SOLD FOR $5,500 Paul Strand, Youngest Player in Or- ganized Baseball, Goes to Boston. Spokane, Wash., May 15.—(Daily Pioneer Special Service.) —Paul Strand, southpaw pitcher on the Spokane team of the Northwestern League, just sold to the Boston Amer- icans for $5,500, is the youngest player in organized baseball in America. He is a native of the state of Washington, born in December, 1893, on a farm at South Prairie, where his parents settled 20 years ago, soon after arriving in this country from Sweden. Strand’s brief career has brilliant. He won his first three professional games playing with the Spokane team this season, allowing but 15 hits and striking out 30 men. In the second game against the Victoria (B. C.) team he struck out the first three men at bat with nine pitched balls. Strand is a trifle more than six feet in height and weighs 180 pounds. Veterans declare he will be the sen- sation of the year. “My parents were opposed to my plan to become a professional ball player,” Strand said in an interview in Spokane recently. “My mother cried at first, but afterward consent- ed, telling me to be a good boy when away from home. Father intimated he would not spare the strap if I failed, so I just had to make good.” Bemidji Colts Defeat Cass Lake. Cass Lake’s undefeated High School team was defeated Saturday by the Brenneman Colts, a newly or- ganized Bemidji nine, the score be- ing 14 to 4. Hendrickson did the twirling for the Colts and received splendid support from his team mates.

Track and Field Leaders to Be Decided at Pittsburg. Schenley park, Pittsburg, will be the scene of the national athletic cham- plonships for junior and senlor titles June 30 and July 1. The events for the senior class will be held on the ‘latter named date. A similar list of contests will be held in both series, be- ing as follows: One hundred yard run, 220 yard run, 440 yard run, 880 yard run, one mile run, five mile run, 120 yard high hurdle, 220 yard low hurdle, pole vault, running hop, step and jump, throwing fifty-six pound weight, throwing sixteen pound hammer, put- ting sixteen pound shot, throwing the discus and throwing the javelin. Rules of the Amateur Athletic union will govern, and the games will be open to all registered athletes. 8ohaefer Making QGood In Outfield. One of the finds of the season is the veteran Germany Schaefer of the ‘Washington Americans. When he an- nounced in low and high German that he was going to become an outflelder and get a regular berth in the suburbs he was chided for using up valuable oxygen, but he is fulfiliing his own predictions. He s hitting, his fielding has been fine, and his base running and general versatility in a game make him a most pleasing figure in the line- up.

The Pioneer im- proves the opportunity to reproduce | it. The outlook wasn’t brilliant for the Mudville nine that day: The score stood four to two with but one inning more to play, And then when Cooney died at first, and Barrows did the same, A sickly silence fell upon the pat- rons of the game. A straggling few got up to go in deep despair. The rest Clung to that hope which springs eternal in the human breast; They thought if only Casey could get awhack at that— We'd put even money Casey at the bat. now with But Flynn preceeded Casey, as did al- so Jimmy Blake, ., And the former was a hoodoo and the latter was a cake; So upon that striken multitude grim melancholy sat, For there seemed to be but little chance of Casey’s getting to the bat. But Flynn ot drive a single, to the wonderment of all, And Blake the much despised, tore the cover off the ball, And when the dust had lifted, and the men saw what occured, There was Johnnie safe at second, and Flynn a-hugging third. Then from five thousand throats or more there rose a lusy yell; It rumbled through the valley; it rat- tled in the dell: It knocked upon the mountain and recoiled upon the flat, For Casey, mighty Casey was advanc- ing to the bat. There was ease in Casey’s manner as he stepped into his place: There was pride in Casey's bearing, | and a smile on Casey's ace. And when, responding to the cheers he lightly doffed his hat, No stranger in the crowd could doubt ‘twas Casey at the bat. Ten thousand eyes were on him as he rubbed his hands with dirt, Five thousand tongues applauded when he wiped them on his shir! Then when the writhing pitcher ground the ball into his hip, Defiance gleamed in Casey’s eye a sneer curled Casey’s lip. And now the leather covered spiier came hurtling through the air, And Casey stood a-watching it in haughty grandeur there. Close by the sturdy batsman the ball unheeded sped— “That ain’t my style,” said Casey. “Strike one!” the umpire said. From the benches, black with people there went up-a muffled roar, Like the beating of the storm-waves on a stern and distant shore. “Kill him! Kill the umpire!” shouted some one in the stand; And it’s likely they’d have killed him had not Casey raised his hand. With a smile of Christian charity great Casey’s visage shone; He stilled the rising tumult; he bade the game go on; He signalled to the pitcher and once more the spheroid flew: But Casey still ignored it, and the umpire said: “Strike two!” “Fraud!” cried the maddened thous- ands and the echo answered “Fraud!” But one scornful look from Casey and the audience was awed. They saw his face grow stern and cold they saw his muscles strain, And they knew that Casey wouldn't let that ball go by again. The sneer is gone from Casey’s face; his teeth are clinched in hate: He pounds with cruel violence his bat upon the plate. And now the pitcher holds the ball and now he let it go, And now the air is shattered by the force of Casey's blow. Oh! somewhere in this fayored land the sun is shining bright; The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light, And somewhere men are laughing and somewhere children shout; But there is no joy in Mudville— mighty Casey had struck out! —Ernest L. Thayer. SPORTS OF THE DAY LANG - WINS FROM LESTER Columbia Runs ‘Away From Navy— Other Sporting Events for Future.

Harry Ables, the glant south- paw pitcher of the New York Americans, enjoys one most unique distinetion. He has the most impressive set of hands ever seen in professional base- ball. > The hams that Honus Wagner calls hands dwindle into insig- & nlficance alongside the “hooks” of the big new portsider from Texas. Not only are Ables’ hands exceptionally large —as <:> large as patent washboards al- most—but his fingers are excep- % tionally long. The. digits are so ¢ long that Ables can hide a regu- lation baseball in the palm of his hand, A regulation baseball, by the way, is nine inches in cir- > cumference. Ables has as much natural “stuff” as any pitcher who has > ever been in fast company. Had he the experience of some of the old heads he would right now be 2 one of the greatest phenoms of all time. He can simply do any- thing with the old horsehide. & Ables believes that his big hands and long fingers give him natural advantages possessed by no other major league pitcher. Y His fingers are so long that the ball drops in and among them much as a marble would in the band of a boy. Consequently Ables does not have to cover up his pitching hand with his glove, as most twirlers do. ¢ CRAWFORD IN GREAT SHAPE. “Wahoo Sam” Playing Wonderful Game For the Tigers. ‘When the last season drew to a close it was the general opinion that Sam Crawford, the Detroit American heavy hitting outfielder, was_on the down grade and that this would prob- ably be his last season in a major league. Today Crawford is leading the American league batters with an average considerably over .400, and he is playing a better game-of ball than he ever has played before in his long career. There is no doubt that a player of Crawford’s disposition would be af- fected by any misunderstanding he might have with a teammate, and his quarrel with Cobb undoubtedly threat- ened to end his days of usefulness to the Detroit club. But the difference between this wonderful pair of hit- “ters has been smoothed over, with the result tbat Crawford and Cobb are ‘playing great ball these days and are' ‘really responsible for the brilliant showing the Tigers have made to date. ’HRE TALES FALSE | sacting the business of _this co ~ SAYS W.

St. Paul, May 15.—The department of Dakota, with headquarters at St. Paul, will be discontinued on July 1, according to a dispatch from Wash- ington. This will.be done incident to a plan of army reorganization to be put into effect at the instance of Gen- eral Wood, chief of staff. prders now. heing prepared, provide that the military service of thie United States shall be composed of three con- tinental divisions, the Eastern divi- slon, with headguarters at New York; the Central division, with headquar- ters at Chicago, and the Western di- visfon with headquarters at San Fran- cisco. This readjustment contemplates the discontinuance .of the department of Colorado as well as the department of Dakota. The business now transacted in these two departments will be merged in the Western or Central di- vision. Probably the department of Dakota is the smallest of the present military subdivisions, comprising Forts Snelling, Yellowstone, Lincoln, Mis- souri and Harrison.
