Ilegtna at Winnipeg at 4 p.m. Medicine Hut ut Edmonton. I.ethhrldge at Calgary. Moose Jaw at Brandon. Wondrous the concoction that can be browed from a littlo bum "bean" work, a couple of plays that are num-liered In the boot column, and a air of safo drives.

Keginu only got two tingv little hits, but they were bunched with lose plav by the Muroons and produced two runs. The lhrites plugged the opposition for six tiut thoy were of no more service In developing tallies than a banana would be in Mopping a freight. Tho tithloles from tho Saskatchewan capital managed to pull off a couple of bungles In one Inning-, and though we lost, we were not humiliated by having tho shut-out harpoon insortod. We have a natural horror of any such treatment by visitors, and It might be added that visitors who would be guilty of such crimes ugainst hospitality are not only lacking In polished etiquette, bat become criminally offensive. For the very same rea-sou we are glad to chronicle the fact that the Ilogina ball players are gentlemen Mini well up In the Hlue Jlook laws.

tfeelng that our worthy tribe of holiday wonders were not fully recovered from the sound hiding they administered to Moose Jaw on Tuesday, Roxy Walters and another Rent by the name of Hoffman went through the society Htunt and allowed a run to score. Johnny Hooker tore seven chunks out of his lower Hp and lost two finger nulls, while Roxy, et al, were letting the ball run through their flngera like a slinnery goose egg. LITTLE JOHNNY HOOKER. Johnny is one of those kind of chaps who Is pretty straightforward. He's not very big, but what there Is of him Is pretty good Muff.

He realizes that It Isn't the nicest thing in the world to come to a strange city and start a kal-somlniiig establishment, but at the same time he hates these make-believe society stunts, and -when he saw Uoxy let one get away and then Mr. Hoffman duplicate, with the added crime of allowing his brain to become clogged, why. Johnny slapped his tongue against his teeth lit swelling wrath. lie knew thev dldn mean to do It. but he was not forgetting the Invaluable assistance that had been rendered bv the Maroons or.

plnys of a similar character. However, as Johnny walked from the park with the big game tucked under his little belt.lt was noticed that he smiled, so It is presumed that everything Is of a harmonious nature among the Waltcrites. deserved eetter fate. Incidentally. In all this fuss, Hcime Kossbach suffered his first de- at of the season, but he did not de serve such a cruel fate.

He untouched Hooker In every way. but the luck as against him. Itegina had three otuiortiinities to score, two of which were due to loose work, and of e-o three chances, two were taken advantage of with hits, the only time they The way Jack Beatty cornered the put out market made Patten look like a piker. were able to ermneot aafely, and both lucky drives. It wns unfortunate for Itossbach to lose under such clreum- tanccs, but baseball is a queer old In the first Inning Rossbach showed Ills only evldemo of wlldness by that genial old Herman, Donovan, In the short ribs.

It might lie mentioned that Mr. Donovan Is not it all Impressed with tho benefit to bo derived from having a smoke ball uirtled Into his short ribs, but beyond a few slgnilicant grunts ho did not how any tendency toward starting a riot. DONOVAN REACHES SECOND. While Mr. Ionovan wns still rub-lng himself on the tlrst sack and expostulating to the well-known guar- llan of that adornment, Mr.

Letcher, oinewhat of an old-tlmor In the pro-esslon, made a short lunge at the ball ind seeing It lie a few feet from tha Rossbaoh's fast ball had a hop like teel common on a bull market. I STWwilMft RESEMOLANCC To fVrrTEM A Lm I ROSSBAGH (rwj) in iff sarslW ITfii inn'i lm 'i i i ti The deadhead had the blues in the second and third innings. rlate, he pulled down his cap and hustled to first with a satisfied grin. Meanwhile Mr. Donovan beat it for second, and was entrenched there by the time Mr.

Letcher laid down his noble old Ufo. Dicky Hrooklns, of the dusky huo, waltzed to the plate witU the idea of succoring Mr. Dcnovan, but instead he rapped one at Jack lleatty, which that gentleman accommodatingly squeezed. Mr. Elsey, who had his back turned during the Hrooklns' Incident, gasped as he saw Donovan still languishing on second, and he strode to the rubber "'ti a eitrantlc' piece of cordwood and a look which would have made The Shrew shrivel up In terror.

Mr. Elsey. i.urtKVt-r, was not permitted to vent his spite on the unsuspecting Mr. llosslnch, as Ducky Holmes tutted In, graiibed the sizzling grounder and hurled It with good aim to Beutty. A DREAM IN OILS.

I3ut the second liming was a dream In oils. Evidently the Maroon infield was on a jag at this particular period. The tlrst part of the act was excusable. Kossbach fanned Hoffman, but the third strike came In like a cannon ball and was a wicked one to handle; consequently, when It got away from Anderson there was a reason, lie-Donough then popped one to Jack Heatty and the fun commenced. Instead of running out his hit, McDon-ough stood like a graven Image, while Hoffman hugged the bag.

Taking In the situation, Heatty let the ball slip through hi fingers and threw to Beers at second. This gentleman Angered it lovingly and counted the stitches while a chorus ow yells were hurled his way. These discordant shouts awakened Mr. lonoiigh irom his stale of coma and he started to complete his Journey to lirst. About the same time something penetrated lieers and he touched second, wheeled around and threw perfectly to llrst.

HEATTY WAS NAPPING. During this excitement Jack Beatty becume immersed in his own thoughts and was still In the middle of them when the ball hustled across the bag. Mr. (off man hustled to second while the ball rested under the bleachers. McDonough was called out.

It was a case of tho old gag about an infield fly, but Umpire Smith ruled that Beatty held it momentarily and that tho batter was out With Hoffman on second, Walters was tossed out by Krueger. but the awful Jumble of McDonough's drive became apparent when McNutt singled to right and Hoffman crossed the plate. In the third a fumble by Beers on a hard chance from Hrooklns was turned into a run as Elsey followed with a slashing two bagger to right. As two menweieoutat me time It was pretty tough on Rossbach. In every other inning except the ninth, when Johnny Peers contributed his second error, the Wulterites were retired in order.

SCORE ON TWO ERRORS. For the first four Innings the Maroons got one man on each period by virtue of a lilt, but a halt was called every time. There was nothing doing in the tilth or sixth, but in the seventh Roxy Wallers and Hoffman touched oft the rockets which remained from Victoria I'uv. and the Maroons' lonely run was the. result.

Holmes opened this eventful period by banging -one Into the paws of Letcher, peers dumped one down towards short and Walters lost it. Anderson tnen filed to short and everything seemed over when Rossbach hit to Hoffman. The latter, however, gave it a kick and while still deliberating Beers hustled all the way home. In the eighth lsbell and Heatty tenanted second and first with two gone, but Holmes banged a lly, which Elsey froze on to. IIROOKINS1 ROBBERY.

Ah a last desperate resource Manager Lohr sent Jerry Edmonds, old pinch hitter Jerry, in to bat for Rossbach in the ninth alter two hands had been retired. Gerald calmly allowed ono of Mr. Hooker's offerings to sail by him and then he smote the next. It went towards left field ns if It had been shot from a catapult, but Hrooklns came out In his true character as the villain of tho afternoon by leaping In the air and spearing It with his glove hand.

TRYING TO OVERCOME THE SLUMP WITH H0RN N6 BATTING PRACTIGE ii Maroons Will Have Extra Work Outs for Remainder of Week Manager Lohr Should be Able to Select First-Class Pitching Staff. Manager Frank Lohr has Issued orders -for morning practice the re-' maluder of the week, the llrst laklug pluce today. It was the original Intention to have luu players out each morning, but the weather bus been so wet that plana did nut niaterlullze. The Maroons are not going very strong la tho balling line and particular aiteutlun will be paid to this department.

Nearly ail the pluyeis who were counted on to buuip the iiorsebide have fallen Into a slump and seem unable to gut out of It. As far as the fielding end of the Maroons la concerned it could hardly be Improved upon. Tiiey oululus bom Brandon and Aloose Jaw In this feature and Juduing by the showing of Itegina up to yciiieiday the Lobritea have It. on the meu from the UunKalcliew.au capital, alio. It Is altogether likely that John Collins, the star twlrlor of the league lut season, will join the Marooais when they return from their llrst swing of tliu far end of the western circuit.

The big boy Is anxious come here again and this feeling seeuis to be pretty unanimous. With Collins in form and the selection of three from Rossbach, Wilson, Miller, Bpelaer and Clercan, Manager lhr should turn out a nifty pitching staff. Word has also been received from Harold Bond and if tho nianngoment decides the heavy hitting outlielder is necessary he will be brought here as soon as his college duties are over. "Billy" Evans, the versatile blg league umpire who entertains many thousands of fans during the off season with "dope" stories of the diamonds In a string of newspapers that he supplies, has unburdenud himself with one entitled "The Confessions of an Umpire," In which he gives a couple of episodes which show how "Bull'' Ter-ine, long the leading indicator handler on the Coast, made good In the American lesguo. One of them Is about Jakey Atz.

formerly a Portland player, later with New Orleans, then with the Chicago White riox and now with Providence. Evans writes: "Fred better known to the baseball world perhaps as Bull, erjoy-ed more than the average success In his Initial year. Perlne, though small, possesses plenty of nerve, and always has a good fund of humor at his tongue's end. Although never looking for trouble, he always meets it In a clever way, and few of his run-ins with different players last year wore of an interesting nature. Jakey Atz, the clever utility player of the Chicago- White Sox, twice the victim of Perine's rule, and each time Ats was requested to beat It to the clubhouse.

The offense In each In-stance was unique. "Ono day, while playing second baas. At felt ceitulu thul he bad cauglitjma of the VMillug players who bud tiled to pilfer sec. ind. Umpire Perine look an opposite view of I lie situation, and declared the runner safo.

This was too luucU for Perlne, who, without making much ado, turned to Air.

The following day Atz came to the bat. still a Hutu bore over the disputed decision, alio his ejection from the game. "With the call of three balls and no strikes, perine called two strikes in succession on him. bearing that any open objoetlon would cause his retirement frum the game, Ats refrained from voicing his sentiment; yet, In order to convey bis utter disgust, he assumed a sort of Napoleonic attitude at the plate.

"Jake would have stood a bettor chance had ho said something, perlne failed to appreciate the classic pose, and told Atz to hike to the clubhouse, adding that with a little practice be might make good as a wooden Indian sign in front of ome cigar store. Jake went. "Just before a game In New York one duy Perlne surveyed his Held to see If everything was all right. Pitcher Bill Donovan, of Detroit, happened to be coaching at third base. Perlne looked longer than usual In his direction.

Donovan resented Perine's suspicious glances and remarked rather sarcastically your ball game, don't pay any attention to me, and you will Ct ulong 'You've already received all the attention you're going to get from me. On your was 1'crine's comeback. "Much to his surprise and Indignation, Donovan wns chased to tho clubhouse The day pasced by without further argument. He had nipped trouble In the bud. "The players soon came to the realization that Perlne Intended to run his game without any Interference, and they left bliu severely alone." AROUND THE BASES AT YESTERDAYS BALL GAME Mayhap the tide will turn at four o'clock today.

Hooker Is a pitcher who does not seem to have very imich something after the style of Ralph Terry, but ho gets away with his games. It Is not very often that the Maroons have four errors In one game. Jack Beatty hogged the put-outs for the Maroons with sixteen to his credit. lsbell was the only Maroon who did not have a chance in tha field. The drive that Dick Brooklns pulled in the ninth was deliberate robbery.

The same player rrullcd off a nice piece of work in the eighth when he grabbed Ki uegcr's slow travelling grounder and tossed out Heinle with one of his quick snap throws. No wonder Jerry Edmonds felt like the man who had been held up. Donovan did not have a chance to show his speed, but he Is somewhat of a sprinter when he gets going. Piper was tossed out twice by Hoffman and twice by Hooker. Neither pitcher Issued a pass, but each hit one batter.

Errors were directly responsible for every one of the runs. Beatty hit two files to McDonough. Isbell's hit was a lucky one. He drove one towards right field and Just as Elsey stuck out Ills hands to gather it In the ball took a bound away from him. One of Ducky Holmes' bingles was of the Bcrntch variety.

The other as a solid welt that Walters partly stopped. A NUTSHELL AMUHICA.V. Won. Lost. Pet.

Dubuiiue 3, Rock Island 2. In the fourth inning the three Regina batters dropped dinky little rollers in front of the plate. lsbell, first man up for the Maroons, in the fourth went Ait the same way. Considering that it was right after a holiday there was a splendid crowd In attendance. Andy Anderson showed poor Judgment on two occasions.

Each time lie hit three balls and no strikes and hit the next pitched ball, resulting In two little files. Elsey's two-bagger was the only extra base hit of the game. The Maroons had three stolen bases while the visitors failed to pilfer a sack. Roxy Walters Will Soon Require a Hospital for His Charges. Yesterday afternoon the Regina ball players considered they were lucky In winning from the Maroons, mainly because the team at present Is badly crippled.

Tuesday at Brandon, Bowery Collins, the lanky gardener whose fpectalty is slumming out base hits with extra tags attached to them was spiked and may not be able to tako part in this series. Catcher McNutt, wus banged on the ankle twice by foul balls and carries a limp ns a souvenir. Hooker's hand wus injured some time ago, and though It has not mended completely he went in yesterday, pitcher Crimes and Sage are also on tho hospital list, but under existing clr-stances they will likely be forced to take their turn. Roxy Walters had a worried look as lie surveyed his charges previous to the game. With the exception of three players, Pitchers Wood, Hclnrich and Shortstop Hell, all the men on the Brandon and House Jaw teams were strangers to Winnipeg fans.

Retina is an exception, as the majority of players are familliir here. Left Fielder lonovan finished out the season with Calgary, while Manager Walters playing short for Moose Jaw, was a populur favorite with the fans, IUck Hrooklns. who has been protested on the grounds that ha is not an Indian but a negro, appeared here two years ago with the Fargo club of tho Northern league. Johnny Hooker, the midget twlrier, last season was with Regina and has not changed one whit. Pitcher Grimes will also be known when he steps on the Held ns he played niuny games hero when with the Calumet team of the old Northern Copper Country league, Letcher, Hoffman, McDonough, McNutt and are tho strangers.

According to President Smith of the Regina club, who Is in the city and making a tour with the club, young McDonough, whoso brother was with Regina last season, is pretty handy with tho K'oves. Hmlth. who occupied a seat behind tliu press box, wan overheard to remark that at Brandon on Tuesday night McDonough volunteered to tako part in one of the Preliminaries of a boxing entertainment. According to tho story, the youngster, who in of pretty substantial buihl and who Is vei fast on his feet, was pilled ngalnst a regular Beef Trust. The Beef Trust, when tho gonir sounded, minUt his way to the centre of the ring and extended his paw and then sacrificed.

Mclionough put his glove against the pit of his stomach and not being accustomed to such rough unge ho stretched his leiiKth on the planks, rolled his eyes and bade an ri voir amid tho cheers of the Regina ball players.

PORTAGE SPORTS Winnipeg Football Players Make Complaint on Soccer Tourney In connection with the athletic tournament ut Portuge la Prairie, on Victoria day, states C. R.

McEnrlane, president of the Heottlsh Football club, a greut deal of dissatisfaction exists in regard to the way in which the tournament was conducted and especi-ully as to the decisions of the referee of the football events. The players from Winnipeg complain that tV'lr decisions were not fair and not properly given and suggest that on any future occasions of a similar kind, this should be remedied. POLO IN ENGLAND 6ixteen Teams Are Entered for the Whitney Competition London, May 26. Entry of sixteen London teams, representative of the best English polo, has been obtained to contest for the cup presented by Henry 1'. Whitney, which ill he played for at Hurllngham and Roehamp-ton simultaneously next week under American polo rules.

Polo is In full swing this week on the grounds of tho leading London clubs. Today nearly a hundred players were engaged. The best form was sown by the old Etanlans and old Can tabs. The former have won the three games they have contested. They even defeated this afternoon the Cuntabs after a fierce mutch under the Hurllngham code by ait odd goal in eleven fur the winners.

DELANEY WITH JOHN80N Negro Will Have One of the Best Advisers In His Corner Ran Francisco, May 25. Ths report that Hilly Helancy is to have to do with the handling of Jack Johnson in his tight with Jim Jeffrie is the choicest morsel of gossip the sports have had since the switching of the battle ground from Emeryville to Bun Francisco. But old Billy remains coy Just the Bame. He will neither affirm nor deny that he Is to be the big chief In John's corner, his reply to all questions being "nothing absolutely has been settled yet" Johnson 1b less discreet. He has given out that there is not the slightest danger in the world of his proposal to Delaney being turned down.

He says that Bill will visit him once or twice during the June training and that It is a safe gamble that Delaney will be behind him when the gong sends him to the Bcratch to light Jeffries. BALLOT RETURNS. Invincible Champion of 1908 Looks Like ths Ballot of Old. New York, May 25. Ballot, the invincible champion of 1008, celebrated his return to the American track this afternoon at Belmont park, winning the ftftn event in a manner that donated ho was the Ballot of old.

The Held that Ballot defeated wus anything but classy, but the way that he mude it plain to every spectator that he was very near his best form. Ballot was withdrawn from the Brooklyn handicap some time ago and his next big outing is the Suburban Handicap, where he will possibly clash with Fltx Herbert. Sam Hildreth bought Fltz Herbert back from John Madden today, for 150, OOu, or 210,000 more than Madden paid for the colt last winter. WILL ADVERTISE 'FRISCO -Ran Francisco, May 25. Representatives of various business bodies in Ban FranciBCo held a meeting today and arterwards visited the various news-paper offices to protest against the agitation that has arisen In certain quarters In connection with the Jeffries-Johnson light.

The business men informed the newspapers that they considered the big glove contest a good thing for San Francisco; that Instead of attracting dlsreputuble characters as had been suggested, it would bring here notable people from many lands. The business men seem to think it Is wrong to give publicity to anything tending to discourage the big contest and prevent Intending visitors from coming to this point to witness the famous ring battle.
