“FATS” LOSE TO THE “LEANS” Bemidji Heavyweight Traveling Men Quit in Sixth Inning. In the first game of a short series between the “Fats” and the “Leans” of the local Council of the United Commercial Travelers played at the Fair Grounds, Saturday afternoon the “Fats” left the field whenthe score stood in their favor in the sixth inning. The game was scheduled to go seven innings and the umpire gave the game to the “Leans,”’ ac- cording to Captain Hagen, by a score of 17 to 14. Features of the game were the playing of L. E. Rood and the bat- ting of C. W. Vandersleus of the “Fats” and the catching of E. Koors for the “Leans.” At the end of the second inning the game stood 7 to 2 in favor of the Leans. Captain Hagen then made some changes in his lineup, giving the substitutes an opportunity to show their metal. The “Fats” started a batting rally in the fifth, and not until they had annexed 12 more runs to their score did the rally cease. The game then stood 14 to 12 in their favor and special “Umps” Symons, for the “Fats” called the game on account of “Rain,” he spying a dark cloud with his field glasses, just peeping over the horizon. Umps Abercrombie declared that the game should run_its seven in- nings as agreed upon, but Acting Captain Browning called his men off the field, thereby forfeiting the game. After the game the “Fats” had their picture taken. Throughout the entire game photographers were busy catching snapshots of the vari- ous players in action. A second game will be played at the Tair grounds Saturday, Aug- ust 26. COOOOPOPOOOOO®O®® @ Sport Calendar for the Week. - © RO R A R R R R O R O R R ORC) Monday.

The score was § to 1 in favor of St. Paul. Clarke mis- judged James’ fly in the fifth and it went for two bases, scoring Corridon and saving the visitors from a shut out. Brandon was knocked out of the box in the first inning by the home club, and Fiene, who relieved him pitched good ball. Just Clark was at bat four times and got as many walks. R.

Louisville, Ky., Aug. 14.—Colum- bus had an easy time yesterday in defeating the Louisville aggregation in the first game of the series. The locals started off like winners but the visitors began some heavy hit- ting in the fifth inning and kept it up for the remainder of the contest, finishing with a total of 19 safe hits. Louisville played poorly in the field. Odwell’s batting and Hulswitt’s all around playing being the features. R.

One of the laws of organized profes- sional baseball provides that between May 20 and August 20 of each season the 16 clubs which comprise the Amer- lcan and Natlonal leagues can carry but 26 players on their rosters. This means that during the three most im- portant months of the camipaign 400 players are maintained on the salary lists of the major league clubs. Of this Bpumber nearly one-sixth—&85, to be ex- pet—have been playing in the two principal organizations of the great ‘outdoor leagues” for eight years and more. After August 20 the bigleagues will begin their annual raid on the stars in the minors. It has been said by those who have de a profession of baseball for ;‘:n- that the average life of the pro- lessional player in the two major leagues is four years. This can read- ily be understood when it is recalled how many athletes are drafted or pur chased by these clubs, taken south and then fail to show caliber enough to oust some seasoned Veteran from his regular berth, and are sent back to the minor leagues. ‘There is still another point of honor to the credit of the 65 favorites Who have performed for eight years and more. Baseball has advanced in p natural progression along scientifio lines . The following are the men who have remained in the American and Nation- al leagues for eight years or more: Giants — Christopher Mathewson, John J. McGraw, Leon Ames and George Wiitse. Highlanders—Charles Hemphill. ‘Washington—James McAleer, - Nor man Elberfeld, “Wid” Conroy, “Tom" Hughes and Harry Gessler. 8t. Louis Browns—"Bobby” Wallace and “Jack” Powell. 8t. Louis Cardinals—Roger Bresna- ban. Chicago Cubs—Frank Chance, James Sheckard, John Evers, Joseph Tinker end Mordecal Brown. Chicago White Sox—Willilam Sulll- van, James Callahan, Harry White and “Pat” Dougherty. Boston Natlonals—Fred Tenney, “Patsy” Flaherty, John Kling and Harry Steinfeldt. Boston Red Sox—“Pi and “Jack” Thoney. Philadelphia Nationals — Charles Dootn, John Titus, William Bransfield, “Pat” Moran, John Lobert, “Bob” Ewing and Earle Moore. Philadelphia Athletics — “Connie” Mack, “Danny” Murphy, “Topsy” Hart- pel, Harry Davis, “Eddie” Plank and “Chief” Bender. Pittsburg—Fred Clarke, “Tommy” Donovan Leach, John Wagner and Charles Phil- | lippe. Cincinnati—Clarke Griffith. Brooklyn—“Bill” Dahlen, Bmith and “Bill” Bergen. Detroit—Hugh Jennings, George Mullin, “Bill” Donovan and “Davey” Jones. Cleveland—“Cy” Young and Napo- leon Lajole. <A pitcher who is not worth $5,000 ihis year does not seem to be in the¢ running. President Lynch’s “indefinite. sus- ension” is definite, so far as Magee concerned. A Barney Dreyfuss may have spent something besides that $22,600 for Pitcher O'Toole. There seems more fighting in the National league than merely the ptruggle for the pennant. 7 Fred Tenney may surprise every one by whipping his ex-Cub and ex- Harry il Biants into championship shape. TALE OF GRAFT IN:NEW YORK New Man in Office Demanded $500; Might Have Had $15,000. Scientific Farming. As an example of scientific farm- ing, a farmer out in Colorado har- vested 200 bushels of grasshoppers This is a little story of New York |in the summer, dried them and kept graft, according to the New York g pig lot of chickens through the correspondent of the Cincinnati|winter. 4 = Times-Star. Uufortunately, the names may not be used. But it has been the custom of a corporation in this city to pay a sort of retaining fee to the holder of a certain politi- cal office, just to be let alone. The corporation heads did not ask any- thing else from the officeholder. They merely did not want to be prodded by crusades which presum- ably had an origin in a desire for reform. The graft- payment for years had been $10,000. “We’ll like- ly have to pay more, 'now that So- and-so is in office,” said they, when a certain man was elected. “He has the name of being very grasping.” So they sent an intermediary to the newly elected officeholder, with power to negotiate. They were wil- ing to pay $15,000, if necessary, but not a penny more. The usual pre- liminaries were gone -through. “Your company will have to come over,” said the officeholder.. “I'm no cheap man. I know you’ve been paying right along, and you’ll have to pay me more than you have been giving up to this office in the past. When I go grafting I go right.” And he swelled up and looked very import- ened. He asked very humbly how ant. The intermediary was fright- much the officeholder would demand. “Not a" penny less than $500 a year,” said the officeholder, sternly. The sum was paid, and it was not until the officeholder had been aut of office for months that he learned the scale on which previous payments had been made. The information actually sent him into a decline. He grieved so over it that he really lost his health. If one mentions a large sum of money in his presence nowa- days he’s apt to burst into tears.

NO PLACE FOR HIS BUSINESS Life Insurance Solicitor Was Invited Into Machine Shop. “The* toughest experience I ever 3 had in my life,” said a life insurance solicitor, “was with an iron manu- LS, facturer in Troy. I knew he was wealthy and carried no insurance, so I resolved to tackle him. Upon en- tering his office and explaining my business, I was surprised at his friendly, even cordial greeting. “‘Life insurance,” he said. . ‘Well now, that is a subject that interests me. Come with me to the shop. I've got to go there and you con tell me all about your company.’ Then he took up his hat and I followed him, until -at last he flung open a door. It was the machine shop, and the din was terrible. Hundreds of hammers were all beating iron at once, and I was nearly deafened. Looking at my man I saw his lips move, and, leaning worward, I just managed to hear him shout, ‘Now tell me all about it.’” He smiled as he said this, and I saw the trick that had been played on me. It was im- possible to say a word, so I marched right out of the shop and never went back.” . For example, if the manufacturing cost, of any pair of Regal Shoes, with 5% profit and selling ex- added, comes to $3.85, you get that shoe at $3.85—not at the old, tradition- al, $4.00 price. The Regal Company has aban- doned the old-fashioned idea that good shoes always must be sold at “even money” prices. Regals give the purchaser exactly what hewants at the smallest profit and lowest price at which shoes of that style and qual- ity can be sold. Prices range from $335 to $585 and are stamped on the sboes at the factory. REGAL SHOES FOR MEN M. O. MADSON & CO. Rich Man, Poor Man.
