DIFFICULTIES FOR LOUR. Manager Lohr will also have an opportunity during the light workouts of getting accuniinted with his men. It is a safe bet that the new leader will bump into several husky younif athletes ami onlv know what they belong to the Winnipeg club when they tell him so. games are now being arranged oy business manager Cousins and the chances are that the Maroons will have a very busy time of It. Lohr is sahl to be a very industrious chap, a perfect glutton for work, which means that the players will have to step lively.

Then, ten, there will be a. big to try out and competition for regular positions will be very keen. If the players under contract to the Winnipeg team made good the local management would be able to force two teams in the field without any difficulty, but as only twelve or thirteen at the most, will be carried, there Is going to bo a good stiff light In every quarter. FAST TEAM 1'ROMISED. With the many recruits to choose, from, and the majority were signed on the strength of recommendations, Lohr should have no difficulty In get ting together a classy team.

That Winnipeg fans will have no reason to despise the Maroons of 19HS can bo banked on as certain as the local management l-i kiplng in line with the former policy, that of giving the best that can be secured. The majority of exhibition games will be idaved at Red Wing. Stillwater, Winona, and the surrounding towns. The Maroons will arrive hero on May in, two days before tho season opens which will allow them to get acquainted with the peculiarities ot the Happvland diamond before thry engage Brandon. The llappylnnd grounds, by tho wnv, will bo made snu? and put In tho best possible shape for tho season.

The two clubs will then pack their grips and journey to tho Wheat city where a like number of games will be played. Big crowds are sure to attend these game as there nre a few scores left from last year to be settled. LOX(J HOME SERIES.

nr) tonilier I for four nmn chiding the senson on Ibor Dny' after Frank Gotch made short work of Yousiff, Mahmout, the "Terrible Turk," In tho championship wrestling match on Wednesday night. The grappler from the domain of the Sultan was amazed when he was Hopped on his back twice in less than twenty minutes. There was no cry of "grease" or unfair tactics In tills match but hud Gotch used his bone crushing toe hold there probably would have been a few squeals. The work of tha Manitoba Amateur Athletic Association in securing the Dominion championship meet for Winnipeg and western Canada Is highly commendable and it is quite fitting that some of Winnipeg's most prominent citizens are timing so great an Interest. Under the influence of their support and the indefatigable efforts of the M.

A. A. A. there is no reason why tho meet of 1909 should not go down in history as the best ever held in Canada. The fact that the championships will be decided In this city will not only bring some of tho roest athletes on the continent here but will have a moral effect in raising amateur sport to its proper plane In the mldJle west.

Tho big league baseball teams got down to business this week and the race In each Is now on In earnest. Whether the American will furnish such a thrilling affair as last season or whether the National will have such an exciting climax is enmantled in the future. In the latter organization four clubs are given a chance for the bunting by the doposters while In the American no less than six are considered os pennant contenders. There Is no doubt but that tho fight for premier honors In either lenguo will bo of the keenest nature. A large number of Winnipeg fans awaited with great interest the result of the first game "Cy" Y'oung pltchei for Cleveland against St.

Louis fin Thursday. While few In this city have seen tho veteran In action he Is as popular as a homo brew. The fact that he downed MoAlere's veterans was grcted with approval. Another twirled whose work was watched closely was Covaleskl, the Philadelphia curve doctor, he practically beat thu York "Giants out of the National league pennant a year ago. Covuleski, nowever, did not coma up to the scartch as ho was pounded unmercifully by Fruuk.

Bowcrman's Boston Jiuaneaturs. Tho official schedulo of the western Canada baseoaU league has now been published but even so the incedents leading up to the "double cross" of the first draft still rankle and in some instances a misconstrued Idea the case lias been cast abroad. It has been claimed that there was a wilful breuch of trust on the part of the papers who were "In" and benefitted by the advance Information. Undoubtedly there was a breach of trust but it Is hardly consistent with facts that the newspapers taking advantage of tho slip that made the schedule public property should be scored so heavily. Had they been entrusted with copies and wilfully disregarded the ethics the finger of scorn could have been pointed at them and the criticism of such a course justaole.

It is told that the sins of forefathers will descend from generation to generation and In this Instance it seems that the error of one newspaper has been fastened on all who published facts concerning the draft schedule and each placed In the same guilty light. The Tribune was the first Winnipeg newspaper to publish detailed fart3 of the draft schedule, an article appearing in Jast Saturday's issue, which caused a mild upheaval here. Why such an article appeared nad whv It was considered justablo was fully explained in Monday afternoon's Issue but apparently the facta that were furnished were Ignored. To set the matter In its true light it might not be amiss to go over the ground once again very briefly. On Thursday, April 8, the Medicine Hat News published the first draft schedulo which not only "lot tho cat out of the bag." but gave every newspaper a perfect right to follow suit nnd protect Its own Interests.

There nre the facts of the case In a nutshell which will hardly disclose any breach of trust on the part of tho Tribune. EXHIBITION TRACK IN SPLENDID SHAPE Expected That it Will be in Shape for Training Purposes Next Week-Latest Local Horse Gossip. The work on the exhibition race track hus been rushed ahead with such dexterity that the majority of the owners who had Intended to send their hows to Portage la Pruirlo and Brandon for training purposes will not now do no, as this Is now considered unnecessary. With favorable weather tho track will be In Biiapo for use by the trainers next week. II.

Brandon Opens Winnipeg Season and Will Also Ap peat in Final Game. Kearly a Mouth ot Continuous Ihll l5etoi Maroons Take Jioad The biggest commotion in Western Canada la months will re-echo on May 1J. Why? Hoi-aune on that date the "Western Canada baseball league will discard Its Infantile raiment and blossom Into a full Hedged with bright, prospects of attaining Its maturity in tin' immediate future. With the official schedule out the hungry ians will be appeased for a few days and then their restlessness will je curbed by tile departure of the players for the spring training trip. When this eventful day arrives tho real baseball news will commence to pour in.

The mere fact that a club lands such and such a player makes interesting reading but the enthusiasts like the more substantial talk of actual play. And that day is not far distant us the Maroon brigade will make tracks for lted Wing a week from Monday. The first three days at t'ae Minnesota city will be utilized in getting the kinks out of arm, back and legs, and getting the eye accustomed to tho box full of slants and benders the modern twirlers carry. A FEW ITEMS FOR THE FANS. Here are a few points in orlef form of Interest to local baseball fans: Western Canada baseball league opens May 12 and closes September 6.

The Maroons play sixty-five games at home. Brandon will pluy more games in Winnipeg than any other outside club, being scheduled to appear here fifteen times. Brandon will appear here for the opening and closing game of the season. Lethbridge plays the least number of games In Winnipeg seven. Medicine Hat, Calgary and Edmonton each play eight games in Winnipeg.

Rcglna will play In Winnipeg on tho first holiday of the season, Victoria Day, Moose Jaw on Dominion Day and Brandon on Labor Day. The Maroons play forty-four games away from home. Seen From the Press Stand City League Leaders Lose to Hustles andei'tis Win Three. The best bowling in the city league for some time was witnessed in the games last night, the majority of the players being In form and scattering the pins in great style. As a result of winning three straight and the Venice losing two, the Wanderers closed a considerable pap between the leaders.

Chicago, April 17. Further evidence that "noisy John" Kilns will not be seen In a Cub uniform this year came last night, when Claude Johnston, of Kansas City, Kllng's partner Jn the city baseball league venture In that town, offered to exchange games with the Chicago baseball league. Tho offer Included the services of Kling as tho catcher of the Missouri semi-pro. team, which should definitely settle all questions as to whether the great catcher would rejoin tho world's cham pions. Kllng's offer was discussed at the Chicago league meeting, but the local semi-pros, balked at.

tho proposal to fly in tho face Of organized bull by booking -games with him. The matter was finally laid over until the next meeting. The chances are that Kling will be seen In Chicago this summer as a if not as a member of the world'B champions.

66 B1 I -rs sECAUSE er Why is a Hot feet in Summer, and cold feet in Winter, are due to the conductivity of leather shoe-soles. You could barely touch the hot pavement in summer, or the icy pavement in winter, with your bare foot. And, it is the pavement, not the air, which heats, chills, or dampens the foot. Observe that leather shoc-soles arc good conductors of Heat, Cold, or Moisture, from pavement to foot. Now The Thermo-sole is a bad Conductor of Heat, Cold or Moisture.
