Till! iVIXNTTEG DAILY TRIBUXJCi MONDAY, MAY 2 1901 AMD VIEW FIRST DEFEAT Champion Maroons Whitewash the Fargo Nine in Fast Game New Pitcher Tried Out hy Egan Looks to Have the Goods St. Paul, Miy 1. Siturday afternoon, big "Duke" Wellington, a former 81. l'oul boy who has been out on the Pacific const for three yeurs, reached town in time to don a baseball uniform and assist Winnipeg in whitewashing the young men I row Fargo, who are to be chaperoned through the Northern league this season by Perry Werden. Wellington was long on speed and twisters, and the knowledge fthe game he brought with him from tho coast Is sufficient to land him In a permanent berth with the Winnipeg team If he wants It.

Winnipeg went Into the game yesterday determined to get even for the defeat handed them bjr the Werden bunch the day before, and they succeeded admirably. At the end of the game the score boy had tacked up seven runs for the champions, while there was nothing but a row of cyphers for Fargo. It was a corking good game and the 300 loyal fans, who braved the dirt which is vto be fouud lu tho seats at tho down town park were well rewarded for their courage. Not so many trousers were ruined yesterday, as most everyone brought a newsaper to be used as a cushion. Four hits was the best Fargo could get off Urecn and Wellington, while vhe Wliuiipegs found the Fargo pitchers for a total of ten.

Kueh team is credited with an error, which was quite a change from the previous day's work, when the errors totaled eighteen. The score: Winnipeg II. P. A. E.

The cars wero arranged in a group facing the city hall, and the event was opened with tho taking of a fmotograph to conimeniorato the nltlal run. This being successfully accomplished the cars, headed by Dr. Webster, the club president, started off via William avenue tit Main street, then proceeded by Por-) tnge avenue, Kennedy street, Assln-iboine avenue, Main street past C.

P. R. depot to tho end of the ash-phalt road on Main street north, returning as far as James street, thenco by Princess street, Notre Dame avenue, and Balmoral street to Portage avenue, where tho procession dispersed. Great Interest shown In the event all along the route followed, large numbers of people having collected on the sidewalks to await the passing of the cars, which numbered twenty-three In all. The following gentlemen were driving cars, and In most cases were accompanied by their lady friends: Dr.

Webster, Prof. Kenrlck J. Armltage, Maw, C. F. Grundy, Allan Ewart, J.

FiiUJames, R. M. Mc-Leod. J. Boswell, McCulIoch, H.

Anderson, A. Lyon, Mr. Puttnam, ex-Mayor J. Arhuthnot, JI. Mulr, J.

Me-Intyre and Mr. Bond. The run will undoubtedly do a great deal to stir up Interest In automoblllng 1n Winnipeg, and shonld result In a considerable Increase In the ranks of the club before the close of the present season. A service of motor busses will be commenced In Montreal during the course Tf the next few weeks. Each vehicle has a carrying capacity of eight passengers.

A definite route hns not yet been taapped out, but notice of this will probably be given at an early date. Amongwt the new members elected to the Autoirmfhtle club lest week were H. 8. Griffith. A.

C. Dwwsr, Victor Bonioh, J. C. G. Armltnge, W.

J. Bond, of Berry, Puill Bond, and G. M. Miller. An Interesting exhibition was opened In Toronto last week by the Canada' Cycle Motor Co.

The show was devoted entirely to that class of car which finds most favor with people who are automoblMsts. pither for biuslness or quiet pleasure outings. Among the cars exhibited were a "4-hiorso power Peerless, and a 22-hrnrsn power Packard, both of whloh o.s far as tho finish and general con strucrtiion Is concerned ooroiwre favorably with tho bert products of the English and French ttmnirfaotorers. The machine which attracted most attention was the "Autocar" rune bout, a 10-horw power two-peated car, enpnble of running up to a speed of 35 miles an hour. This oar Is a splendidly finished specimen of motor engineer.

It Is a double cylinder, with sight feed lubrication, two spoees forward and one reverse, the engine being placed forward under a bonnet. Tho "Ford" oar, of which a great umber are being sold in Winnipeg, has been not inaptly termed the "car of hatisfaction." It can be used as a runabout or as a touring car, Its chief feature being its extreme simplicity ami quietness of running, combined with the absence of vl biwtion.

It is an ideal car for any type of aiitomobUliHt, either the man who has lo ngings for speed or the one who content to potter around quietly In the evening. It Is of 14-horse power, and any speed from four miles to thirty-five miles an hour oan be obtained. The price Is SI. 125, which brings It within the reach of a man with only moderate means. Amongst the latest purchasers of automobiles in tho city are J.

Full-Janios and (I. Kriinger, who- purchased "Ford" cars on Thursdny after being given trial runs on two of tho latest styles which arrived during last week. It is most essential that a ear should be fitted with tyres tested to carry the. weight required. A very good practice is to have a heavier class of tyre on tho back wheels, and the specified ones on the front wheels.

When new tyres have been fitted, run tho car gently at first for about fifteen niinutes, minutes, then tighten up the driving bolts, and run on ngaln queltly for a time to allow the tyres to get well set In their places In the rims. Rubber Is highly susceptible to the action of oils and acids, and rapid decomposition Bets In If subjected to their Influence. If by mishap oil Is dropped on the tyres when lubricating the wheels, it should be Immediately rubbed off. The fabric portion of the tyro Is Very susceptible to water. It isl for this reason that a puncture that lays bare the fabrlo Is to bo dreaded.

The water Is quickly absorbed, and decomposition sets In. Always make sure that tyres are properly Inflated, as water will work Its way; In to tho Inside of cover if thu is not done. Every driver of an automobile hns at some time or othr wondered if there was a sufficient supply of gasoline in the tank to finish tho Journey, and has tried a variety of ways to find out. One or tho best means of ascertaining is to tnke a rod slightly longer than the depth of tank, and after making sure that the tank is empty, our In a quarter of a gallon of gasoline, then dip rod in tank and note to what point fluid rises. If the rod Is then marked off In quarter gallon spaces the whole way up, It can be seen at a glance by placing rod in tank, exactly how much spirit It contains.

FOUR FOR HENLEY Improbable That Eight Will Go to England This Summer. Season Was Three or Four Weeks Late The I Jcely Candidates. There Is little probability of nn eight from the Rowing club going to the Henley regatta. Lateness In getting down to work nnd tho difficulty In securing an eight of phenomenal oarsmen make the matter one of improbability. F.

Gait, chairman of the executive committee, wben seen hy a reporter for The Tribune this morning, btnted that the matter had not been ile'lnitely settled. i "Nobody knows if an eight will go to Henley," he said. "it all depends upon what the oarsmen are' jiblo to do. The chances, however) are that only a four will go across the pond. The season has been three or four weeks late and tho men have not had an opportunity to get themselves into shape.

If a fust enough eight could be picked out of course that number would go, but in my opinion only a four will tnke the trip to England." Ellswood Richards, ono of the prospective Henley eight, will not bo able to leave for the trip owing to businef. This fact will also tend to reduce the possibilities of an eight going to England.

N. regardimg the extension of the Hartney branch to Regina.

The members of the depu tation were Mayor Laird, H. F. president or tne Doara oi trade, and W. G. Pettenglll, vice-president.

Mr. Mackenzie said he rxjuld like tho work to be carried out, but was waiting the outcome of tho bill for a guarantee of bonds, now before ths Federal parliament. Tho deputation said that there was no ill-feeling against the C. P. but as the Canadian Northern railway had decided to build Into the City the citizens wished to do all in their power to hasten It.
