Kn I flB Tfc WORUD IT ffAS THEIR DAY The Millers Win One Game and Tie Another. HAD THE SECOND GAME IN HAND Bat the Crowd Got in the Wiggi' Work in the Box. Beall's youngsters yesterday proved too speedy for the Omahas, who have been trying to crowd them Into the second division. The millers took one game from the TarnsHMlssourl townsmen, and were within an ace of taking another. The best the Indians could do was to tie the score in the ninth Inning of the second game, after which the game was called to enable the ball players to catch the train for the west.

One hit was responsible for leaving the second contest undecided. Fleming's twobase hit, which drove in three runs, would doubtless have been captured had not the left field bleacher crowd filled the place where Belden usually stands and forced him to play too tar up to get that long hit. which cleared the bases and tied the score. Eighteen hits won the first game for the They batted stout Mr. Alloway quite at will and everyone made at least one hit; some made two, while Rohe got three and Braahear four.

Time of game, two hours. Umpire, Figgemeler. Wiggs had much the better of the second game, measuring his work against Artie Herman. The Indians made but five hits -while the millers made thirteen. Wiggs struck out twelve batters, nailing his big rival four times.

He was wild, however, passing seven of the visitors and the free transportation with the lucky two-bagger prevented his side from winning. The big Ohicagoan will doubtless get control some day, and then Waddell ad batter look to his laurels. The score: SECOND GAME. Mpls. rh Omaha.

Aug. took the third and last game of the series from Lakota yesterday afternoon by a score of 14 to 6. Haythorne pitched for Fargo and Fraser for Lakota. The fatter was very wild and was hit freely at critical stages of the game. The disbandment of Hillsboro and Langdon before the end of the season leaves only seven clubs in the league.

No team has completed the schedule. Next year a forfeit Insuring the teams continuing throughout the season will be exacted from each town. On the Home Stretch. Devils Lake is still in first place in the North Dakota League, but the swift ball put up by Milton does not reassure the western town in the belief that it will have the pennant. Milton has lost Wiggs, its great pitcher, but if Perry Sessions, the star twirler of the lake team, also goes to Minneapolis, the losses should not impair the relative strength of the two teams Devils Lake has still six games to play and Milton five.

DELL RAPIDS PROSPECTS Chiokens Are Plenty, and Have Enjoyed Legal Protection. Special to The Journal. Dell Rapids, S. Aug. prospect is that there will be some fine hunting in this region during September.

The season has been very favorable for the chickens, and according to all reports they are unusually plentiful in this region. It is reported that the law against the shooting of chickens before Sept. 1 has been violated to some extent by early hunters in some parts of the state, but as yet there is no complaint of premature hunting in this section, local hunters being unanimously in favor of waiting until the season legally opens, and they will see to It that there is no hunting done here until the expires. During the former seasons a good many outside hunters have come here for a few days' hunting, and the abundant crop of chickens this year, together with the fact that they have not been hunted prematurely, will no doubt attract an even larger number to this region this season.

PRAIRIE BASEBALL Where the Game Is Played to En- thusiastic Galleries. GREAT NORTH DAKOTA LEAGUE It la Developing a Lot of ltupld i'layeri and Excellent Sport. To see a typical "bush" league, Minneapolis fans should go out to North Dakota, out on the wide, endless prairies, where trains are sometimes seen three times a week, a town of 2,000 is a metropolis, and where managers fall dead when they see 200 "paid admissions" in the baseball park.

For all that, the North Dakota league will furnish some of the more pretentious teams with some fast players and there is more than one embryo National leaguer out on the prairlea of the flickertail state. There is two cities, the Centrals went to Hammond, to meet the champions of the Wisconsin league. The Centrals won by a score of 4 to 3 more easily than the score Indicates. The Centrals next went to Elk River, where they met their only defeat of the season. This defeat was partly excusable, as four of Central's regular piayers were out of the game, including their best pitcher.

The Centrals'wiped out this defeat, however, on July 4, when they went to Elk River and easily defeated that team 5 to an Elk River player getting past second base. Manager Browne prepared the schedule so that the Centrals met only the best high school teams of Minnesota and Wisconsin. The Centrals therefore, the champions of both states. Great credit for the success of the team Is due to Edward Condon, the captain of the team, who selected his players from a large likewise more baseball enthusiasm to the square foot in that state than anywhere in the union. Take such towns as Milton and Cavalier and Langdon, varying in population from 600 to 1,200, and yet supporting all-professional basebal' lteams, superior in skill to independent teams in towns in older communities having from 10,000 to 20,000 people and even more.

As a baseball league the North Dakota circuit is a prodigy and a wonder. It goes without saying that enthusiasm runs high in these towns. For if the same proportion of attendance obtained as rh the twin cities, for instance, there would be on an average about six paid admissions to a game. Often there are several hundred, for the towns recognize their respective ball teams as public institutions and a ball game means a half holiday in many a house. The ladies are fully as enthusiastic as the men.

They understand all the intricacies of the great sport and "root" loyally and heartily. They come to the games decked out in the club colors, with horns and other Instruments for manufacturing noise, and the small boys often bring tin cans full of stones, a device for "rattling" the opposing pitcher. The train schedule gives the players some queer experiences. For instance, when the team strikes Cavalier at 12-30, assuming that the train Is on time, and must leave again at 3:45 or wait for two whole days until the next train, the ball tosser has no fun. To dress twice, eat a meal, play a ball game and travel to and from the ball park in about three hours, spells a grand all-around hustle.

Still such a league is a splendid school for young playesr and gives the larger league a fine field from which to recruit strength. OH, FOR THE PEJTNA3VT St. Paul Fans Are Sighing Like Steam Engines, but in Vain. Having seen seven games won In succession by Jimmy Ryan's men, the down river sports are getting excited about the bolt of bunting called the pennant. They are not claiming it with Kansas City over a hundred points ahead, and the end of the season only about thirty days away, but they are getting nervous.

St. Paul has never had the honor of flying a pennant in anything and would dearly love to have one just once. Having the pennant in mind the Pioneer this morning throws out the following bunch of "If Harry Cook had been 'discovered' a little sooner, if Shannon and Kelly and Schaefer could have been secured at the beginning of the it must make George Tebeau's cowboys shudder to think of it. The saints are 100 per cer cent stronger than they were early in the season." In proof of the unanimous yearning for the bunting the Globe lets go of the following bit of prophecy: "The red caps are now but one game behind St. Joe.

Playing the game as they are now. they have better than a fighting chance to pass them while on the trip, and then all sail should be set for Kansas City. The blues may have to fight to hold the pennant yet." One regret does not unbottle all that saintly fans have kept hidden all summer and the Pioneer Press "reflects" on following public opinion: "One more strong pull and the saints will land in second place. That record of seven straight games won has served to pull Ryan's men up to the heels of the St. Joseph team and the men froni Kick- eyville have obligingly dumped a few to help out matters.

Once in second place, the saints will make Kansas City play ball to win the pennant. PRAISE FOR BAN Tbe Sportlugr News Out With a Panegyric, Ban Johnson has some admirers in America outside of come of the sporting writers on the Chicago, Philadelphia and Boston papers. The editor of the Sporting News thinks that the would be autocrat is a very great man and wholly infallible. It says: Those who charge that Ban Johnson has set himself up as dictator of the American league and has usurped authority which is not delegated to him by the club owners are without reason or memory. The American league is controlled by its club owners, who are required to live up to the laws they make.

President Johnson conforms to the constitution and requires magnate, manager, player and umpire to do likewise. It is true that he holds 51 per cent of the stock of each of the eight clubs, and it is equally true that the transfer was made by a unanimous vote of the club owners because they did not trust each other, but had implicit confidence in Johnson's integrity. He is given the sole authority to appoint and discharge umpires for the same reason. Presi- number of candidates, and placed-them in their positions. He was quick to see the strong points of each player, and the high order of team work developed by the Centrals was due in great degree to his efforts.

The battery work of the team was very strong. Howard has no superior as an amateur catcher, while Getty is the equal of any amateur pitcher in the state. His pitching has been one of the strongest factors of the Centrals' play. Browne aJso did good work in the box. The infield was very fast- Condon, Courtney, L.

Merrill and Marshall composed the infield, and their playing in all departments of the game was of a high order. Harris, in right field, played a fa3t game, while E. Merrill and McGrory took care of the center garden and were both good batters. Stowell and Foley did excellent work in left field and took care of everything that came their way. dent Johnson has never assumed to dictate to a club what players it shall or shall not sign, but he has required each club to observe the agreement entered into at the Chicago meeting in reference to the engagement of players.

the Baltimore club made an effort to secure Hugh Jennings, to whom the Philadelphia club had a prior claim under the agreement referred to, the American league executive notified Manager McGraw that the Philadelphia club's consent was necessary before he could play Jennings on his team. He simply enforced a compact between the club owners, which one of them tried to break for selfish ends. It is noteworthy that the Baltimore club stands alone in its rebellion against President Johnson. Seven others commend that which McGraw condemns. These seven appreciate, through experience, the bents which have come to them from a wise administration.

McGraw must accept conditions as they were and are in the American league or become a magnate without a Job. There is nothing in his past to create the belief that he will suggest a better policy than that which has made the American league prominent if not pre-eminent aa a baseball organization. The editor of the Sporting News should hear what the baseball followers in Kansas City, Buffalo, Indianapolis, St. Paul and Minneapolis are saying about "Czar" Johnson's "wise administration." Here are five good towns forced out of their natural and logical baseball company in order to satisfy the personal vanity of Mr. Johnson.

Jimmy Manning, Kiliilea, Comlskey, Stallings, Connie Mack were quite content to play ball with their old comrades and never had any great enthusiam for Ban Johnson's expansion schemes. They are doubtless sorry now that they allowed themselves to be lead or rather misled. MoGraw sees that if Johnson's dreams are realized, Baltimore will get what Minneapolis and other former members of the American league received. It is on the cards that Milwaukee, Cleveland and Baltimore are to be deserted if Johnson can "bulldoze" and "bluff" the National league to a compromise.

lowa City, lowa, Aug. a very few days the lowa football team will begin preliminary practice, and there Is indication that lowa will have the best and strongest eleven in her history.

Many of them were tried arid found not wanting in some of the hardest games of last season. Coach Knipe has no hard luck stories to tell, but takes rather a rosy view of the football outlook. In an interview he said: "lowa will have as good a team this year as ever, so far as I can see. There is one thing that the football critics overlooked last year. That is that our team was a better team than our last year's team.

That is possibly not the general impression because the football critics have not called attention to it, but I know that it is so. We had a nice bunch of candidates in 1899 to work with, perhaps a little better than we have this fall. Still, we have a goodly lot of substitutes and s.econd-team men from la3t year and will have a fine lot of new candidates. The 1899 team was not made from any good material. It had no stars.

The boys were just willing fellows, and I expect that fall's bunch of candidates will be Just as willing to work. It was not the superior material for fine plays t'oat made the 1899 and 1900 teams, but the spirit of the members, the way the men did their work. "The lowa team will go into camp for early practice at Minnehaha park Aug. 2S. Preliminary training gives the boys a healthy good time, gets them used to roughing it a little, and brings them to know and appreciate each other.

The training is not hard, but simply gets the men in good condition for the regular training, which begins as goon as the uniersity opens. From that date, Sept. IS, until our opening game on the first Saturday in October, we will be hard at work shaping the men into form. The work in preliminary training will not assure any man of a position on the team. Those coming later will have just as good a chance, except that the men who do the early training will be in better shape, all things considered.

We expect to have the game of our lives at Minnesota, Oct. 26. The team that wins that game you can put down as pretty nearly the best in the west." IN TRAINING CAMP Nebraska Football Team Getting Right Down to Business. Special to The Journal. Lincoln, Aug.

19. the training camp located at South Bend, on the Platte river, the systematic training of the Nebraska university football squad will begin on Sept. 1. After three weeks in camp, the men will be taken back to the university campus in splendid condition and the work industriously continued. The idea of a training camp was proposed last year and found many friends.

It was at first decided to remain a much longer time in camp, but this was impossible owing to a lack of funds. So in the latter part of August, Coach Booth, Captain Westover and sixteen football aspirants will establish a camp in a stretch of timber a few miles from South Bend. There is a grassy meadow near the camp, and on this the men will be given plenty of punting practice and some cellent drilling in signals. In addition there will be a running and a little line work, followed by plunges in the river. An experienced cook will be taken along and the men will be taken back to Lincoln and the exercises continued on the campus.

A training table, a new feature in Nebraska university athletics, will also be established this year. Only two places on the first team need filling. A guard and tackle must be selected from the large mass of available material. But the coach has notified each man that there will be a steady fight for positions and should a new star appear hi.s merits" will be recognized. So even the 1 seasoned veterans must do their best work.

Captain Westover will play right tackle. Ryan and Cortelyou will start in at their old positions at the opposite ends of the line. Ringer will play guard, Koehler center and Drain quarter. Ex-Captain Brew may come back, and if he does he will play left tackle. His appearance would cut down one of the available places on the first eleven.

Kingsbury, a star of the '98 eleven, will be in training again. Stringer, who did brilliant work in '97 and '98, is also coming. He is credited with being a swift runner and a low, skilful tackier. Cook. Crandall and Bender will be at their old places.

Coach Booth Is now In Connecticut, gathering information on the tactics to be employed by eastern teams next season. He is expected home in a few days. He has been training tho men in punting all summer and has developed some skilful kickers. Nebraska rooters declare that more skill in punting and a thorough training of the men last season would have won the Thanksgiving game with Minnesota last I year.

THEIR BIG GAME WITH MINN. The lowana Are Banking on Doing Every Other Team. Special to The Journal. lowa City, lowa, Aug. lowa State University football eleven will bo a candidate for pennant honors this fall, if Manager McCutchen's "sayso" has value.

That official said to a representative of The Journal to-day: lowa has a good chance to win the championship of the west. In my opinion, lowa, Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin will lead in work on the gridiron, the coming season. Illinois may "cut ice" to a slight degree, especially if she improves as decidedly as did in the past year, but I do not expect hei to do more than make a good showing. lowa has scheduled games with all the clubi just named, with the exception of the badgers, and therefore the hawkeyes are bound to be in a position to figure in the results of the season. I am willing to admit that the championship may not be decided by the regular schedule, but lowa cannot fail to ba one of the teams with a good claim to the coveted title.

Captain Clyde Williams Is equally confident that the eleven will make a great showing this year. He said to-day: lowa will win all her games, with the possible exception of those with Minnesota and Michigan. You can count on some big surprises this fall for those people who think that the team has been irremediably weakened by the loss of seven men. Such is the belief of lowa's great quarter-back and field general, and the local critics who have best studied the outlook eeai the prospects of the team, are beginning to agree with him. The battles with Minnesota and Michigan are the ones most feared here.

In lowa City the Minnesota field has the reputation of being heavy, and this, it is believed, will handicap the hawkeyes, who are lighter, in the main, than their northern foes. It is this fact that leads Captain Williams to predict that his eleven may drop the game with the gophers. Michigan, Captain Williams prophesies, can get nothing better than a tie, and the odds are in favor of lowa's winning. The effort of the year will, therefore, be concentrated on the Minnesota game, and if the hawkeyes can carry off that contest, the day they do it will be the happiest day in their lives. Manager McCutcheon said to-day: You can say that the man who claims lowa's eleven is weaker than last year is talking through his hat.

We have material enough pledged right now to pick three full teams, and strong ones at that, and we'll do it, too. The first eleven will be as good as last year's and I'll bank my reputation as a football prophet on that prediction. THE TWO-MINUTE GOAL HISTORY PROM 2.2i>V£ TO 2.02V4 Ball Bearing; With Pneumatic of the Two-Minute Harneii. The recent performances of Mr. Ketcham's wonderful trotting stallion, Cresceus, both in hia attempts against time and in his race with The Abbot, have again provoked discussion as to whether the two minute goal will not soon be reached.

They have served also to call attention anew to the wonderful advancement made by American trotters within the past fifty years. On October 13, 1845 Lady Suffolk, a gray mare, went a mile to sulky in That was a world's record, and was made on the old Beacon course at Hoboken, N. J. Lady Suffolk was by Engineer 11, a grandson of Imp. Messenger, the horse who really founded our American trotting gait.

Then came Flora Temple, Dexter, St. Julien, Jay Eye See, Maud Sunol, Nancy Hanks, The Abbot and Cresceus. Other horses held the world's record at times, but those named were the best consistent performers and all of them were popular Between 1845 and 1901 the record for the mile was etsadily reduced from Lady Suffolk's to Cresceus's However It would be unfair to compare the performances of the two animals from a standpoint of time alone. In Lady Suffolk's day conditions were vastly different. Breeding was a new science, tracks were primitive affairs and a 125-pound sulky was considered a model of lightness.

Moreover the harness worn by the gray mare was pounds heavier than that now in use and boots were unknown. Cresceus, during his recent trials, wore what is known as the "two minute harness." The horse is a natural trotter and needs few boots. He trots in light shoes and without a high check. His record was made over a track which is the acme of the track-builders art. Behind him he dragged a ball bearing sulky, hollow framed, with pneumatic and with none of that "horse motion" which was thought unavoidable in Lady Suffolk's day and which cost a horse seconds.

Mr. Ketcham, Cresceus' owner and driver, studied training with that past master of the old echool, John Splan. UPPER MICHIGAN GOLF Several Have Taken Up the Game. Special to The Journal. Calumet, Aug.

la daily becoming more popular in the copper country and clubs have been organized in many of the cities. In this city the club organized last year has had links laid out back of the Swedetown hill where a game is in progress during the pleasant weather.
