BOWLERS OF STATE PREPARING TO ORGANIZE Promoters of the Minnesota Bowling Association Confident Their Plans Will Be Crowned With Success Minneapolis Is to Have the First Tournament. The plans of the promoters of the Minnesota State Bowling association have met with considerable success to date. Bowlers from different cities of thti state have written that they are heartily in favor of assisting towards making a state association a huge success, iind thnt clubs from their respective cities will take part in the tournament to be held some time next month. The loaders In the bowling world in the Twin Cities favor holding a tournament in the co-operative alleys about April 15. The eleven co-operative alleys with the amphitheater seating arrangement furnish about the only suitable place for conducting a state tournament, affording ample accommodations for spectators, and it is quite probable that the tournament will be held on these alleys.

It has been rumored that the Stilltrater bowlers would not participate in the state tournament, should the games he bowled on Minneapolis alleys, but as this report from those of doubtful authority no credence is given to rumor, it boing believed that the Stillwater bowlers have sportsmen-like qualities enough to participate in the tournament, whether it be held in St. Paul or Minneapolis. The majority of prominent St. Paul bowlers heartily favor the Minneapolis location. By some it is argued that Minneapolis will have an advantage over their out-of-town competitors when bowling on the home alleys.

This Is true to a certain extent, nevertheless, a bowler who styles himself a bowler of ability should be prepared to into a bowling contest on most any and give a good account of himself. i I has been suggested that the entranre fee for five-men teams be $15 for St. Paul, Minneapolis and Stillwater bowlers, and $10 each five-men I from the smaller cities throughout the state. This suggestion is made Bo that the bowlers from the out-oftown cities who are not as expert at as those of the three cities loned, will not feel that they are Ibuting towards prizes for their i. re expert brothers.

May Secure Free Alleys. Wisconsin state tournament, retently conducted In Milwaukee, had forty-eight five-men team entries and a cash prize list of $1,850, which was distributed fairly among the five, two and Dne-man teams. The expenses of the Wisconsin tournament was very light account of the Milwaukee alley own. mating the use of their alleys to the state association for the bowling Dl all the tournament games. It Is not known at this day whether the Co-opera tiw Bowling Association of Minnoapolls will donate the use of their al-1 the'rolling of the tournament games, and also give the state association the privilege of charging an admission fee to the amphitheater seats.

but it i.s understood that some effort along this line will be made. Still water has two or three very Btrong teams, St. Paul six to ten teams Who make a good showing, and Minneapolis tbout ten to fifteen. Considering the number of available teams to enter from Stillwater, St. Paul and Minneapolis, and those that can be reasonably expected to enter from the smaller towns of the state, the live-men team entries should be about sixty.

In addition to this there will be the two and one-man team entries, at a proposed rate of $3 per man, which will swell the amount of the prize list. It Is confldently expected that the sum total of the prize list will amount to at least $1,000, which will be distributed In five, two and one-man team prizes. Minnesota bowlers are one year late their state association, lowa and Wisconsin bowlers having organized a little over a year ago. H. N.

Fowler, the instigator of the Minnesota State association, is well known in bowling circles, having been identified with the game in the state, for the past three years. Mr. Fowler is the president of the Minneapolis Bowling league, which he organized, mid is also president of the St. Paul Commercial Bowling league of eighteen clubs, promoted and organized by him last fall, along lines quite different from the plan of organization of any other bowling league in the country. This league commenced the season with sixteen clubs, rolling a schedule of games ending Dec.

15. Then two more clubs were admitted, making the total eighteen clubs, which were divided into three classes, and the clubs being placed according to their strength and ability. A separate prize list was made up for each class, including team individual prizes, and the plan throughout has worked to perfection and has been the means of increasing the interest in bowling tenfold in St. Paul. 'Varsity Girls Win.

The University basketball team added another game to its long list of victories last evening by defeating the Stanley Hall quintette by the score of 12 to 3. the first part of the game the Stanley Hall girls rushed matters considerably and succeeded in scoring the first v-lueh was thrown from a foul.

MADDEN AND HILDRETH DIVIDE THE HONORS Wilful Wins the Crescent City Derby in a Gallop. NEW ORLEANS, March and Hildreth divided the honors of today's racing. The winner of the (Jrescent City Derby, Wilful, bred by the former and owned by the latter, galloped home twelve lengths ahead of her tield and joined Modesty and May Hempstead in the list of liilies who have figured as Derby winners.

Backed from 3 to 2 to to 5, Wilful always was a decided favorite. The filly outclassed her field. Gannon kept on the extreme outside all the way. She wore her field down on the back stretch and at the three-quarters pole went to the front without an effort and was eased up all through the last furlong. Bitch Broom and Embarrassment, the next nearest candidate for popular favor, were used up making pace.

Rain poured down during the day and the track was a veritable lake. Farmer Jim was the only beaten favorite. Upon complaint of Ed Horrigan after investigation by the stewards they have ruled E. L. Bohlman off the track for violation of the rule regarding attempts to prevent bidding up in selling races.

The particular race in question was that won by Flare, then Bohlman's property, recently. After due consideration of Jockey Buchanan's appeal the stewards have decided that they would not be justified in modifying the original ruling in his case.

PAUL, GLOBE, SUNDAY, MARCH 15, 1903 HANLON THINKS HE WON HIS FIGHT The Western Featherweight Claims He Defeated Young Corbett. NEW YORK, March "Willie Lewis, the lightweight fighter of this city, has received an interesting letter from Eddie Hanlon, of San Francisco, telling of his battle with Young Corbett.

He says: "I came very near being champion, didn't Anyway, Corbett will not get over the beating I gave him very soon. I won that fight -all the way, and I'll bet that when Tuthill and Corbett see you that they will tell you the same thing. Corbett said himself that he was pretty lucky. I had him going a dozen times. The gong saved him for sure in the eighteenth round.

I hit him a righthand punch in the stomach and he fell on his face. Everybody thought it was all over and started to leave the building. He just got on his feet as the bell rang. "When I went back to my corner I told my seconds that I felt as strong as a bull, and said I thought I would go in and finish Corbett in the next round. They advised me otherwise, saying that I had the fight won all the way, and there was no use In my taking any chances.

Everybody around the ring told me to hold back, too, as I had" won easily. When the referee called the bout a draw the crowd tried to get at him. The best of all was that in the sixteenth round one of my seconds said to the referee: 'It couldn't be a better And the referee said: 'There was nothing to it but "The reason that Corbett was not given the worst of it was because he Is matched to meet McGovern. The clubs wanted me to fight McGovern, but I will take a rest first." COLUMBIA MAN OUTRUNS THE QUAKER Taylor Wins To-Mlle Intercollegiate Race by Two Paces. NEW YORK, March a driving struggle in the last fifty yards between Taylor, of Columbia, and Gill, of Pennsylvania, the Columbian runner finished first by barely six inches in the two-mile intercollegiate team relay race at Madison Square Garden.

This was one of the two principal events on the programme of indoor games which was held tonight by the Greater New York Athletic association, and fully 8,000 persons were in the big structure madly cheering the struggling athletes. During the first half of this race the Cornell men, Schutt and B. Smith, had gained over fifty yards, and it looked lika a gift for the Ithaca men, but their third relay, Mc- Meekan, fell away badly and at the conclusion of this half he was five yards behind Klaer, of Pennsylvania. Gill, of Pennsylvania, and Overman, of Cornell, jumped away five yards apart in the last half mile, but Taylor, of Columbia, by fine footwork got up in the third lap. and in the last lap passed Overman and set sail tor Gill, whom he caught In the home stretch.

They ran like a team for ten yards, and then with a supreme effort Taylor broke the tape scarcely half a foot ahead of the Pennsylvania man, with Overman a poor third. The other important event was the A. A. U. ten-mile championship race, in which forty-nine started.

When the first five miles had been covered Bowen, of Pennsylvania; Tom Kennedy, of Star Athletic club; J. J. Joyce. Pastime Athletic club; Alex Grant, New York Athletic club, and Carr, of the Xavier Athletic club, were the leaders, and the race lay between them. During the running on the eighth mile Grant struck one of the wooden boundary stakes at the side of the running track and hurt his foot so badly that he had to retire.

Bowen led for the greater part of the eight miles, but fell back third. He still remained close up with the leaders, but when he tried for a final effort he had not enough strength left for It. Joyce showed excellent headwork in the last two miles and carried Carr along so fast that the latter had not much left for the final sprint, and Joyce won by thirty yards, with Carr fully 100 yards ahead of Bowen, the others finishing in a scattering line.

President Bryce will have about twenty men answer the call when the time comes for the counting of baseball noses. He has not had much trouble with the players signed, and all who have not been released will report with the exception of Jack Toft, of the Toronto Eastern league club, over whom there is a fight. Bryce has plenty of catchers without Toft, and will be in good shape if the case goes against him.

Slattery, Fox and Roach are three good men, who will be able to look after that department of the game. The official list of players who will report has never been given out in full, and with the men who have been released within the last few days, and the addition of Harry Arndt, just secured through a decision of the national board, the players who will report are as follows: Catchers Fox, M. S. Roach (California league) and John Slattery (New York State league). Pitchers Ivor Wagner, Harvey Bailey, John McMakln, Frank McPartland, William Thomas, Dick Williams and W.

Crystall (California league), E. G. Crablll (New York State league) and M. A. Wolfe (Eastern league).

Outfield James Bannon (Toronto Eastern league), James Hart, Hub Knoll and Harry Arndt (Baltimore American). Bannon will probably be the field captain, and, with Billy Clingman, an ex-manager, and Fred Raymer, formerly captain of the Los Angeles team, will be two old heads in the critical points of the infield. Columbus expects much of its pitchers, and thinks they will make good. A series of exhibition games have been arranged for all of them, to be played on the local grounds. April 5 and 6 the New York Nationals will be here; April 12.

A WORD TO COLUMBIA.

Columbia, the light "of creation, When Jingoes rise up in thy name. And the Eagle in reckless elation Dines aloft on gunpowder and flame; When thy dreams are of scraps on the ocean And on land, with the World as thy foe, Oh, then bathe thy fiery emotion In a cold blast from Poultney Bigelow. Post. THE NATIONAL GUARD. It has finally been decided that the Turner hall, on Wabasha and Third street, will be the headquarters for the national guard forces of this city during: period until the new armory is completed.

The third floor of this building will be given up to company and quartermaster rooms. The rooms will average in size about that of those now occupied, and will all be repapered and cleaned. The lockers in the armory will all be removed and placed in the new rooms. The boys will be much better situated than they had hoped for. The one discouraging feature Is that it has been impossible to secure a drill hall of sufficient dimensions for maneuvering a company.

This will necessitate the use of streets for company drill. The tearing down of the old armory will commence just as soon as the board receives final answer from the firm in Boston which has purchased the bonds. It may be this week, and positively not later than next. The contractors are ready to commence work on the signal. In all probability the term of the annual encampment will be cut down this summer from ten to eight days.

This will not be welcome news to the boys, especially in view of the fact that the Increase in the appropriation has been granted. The reason for this step, however, will be economy in order to provide for the brigade going to St Louis next year. Everything is now working out with that trip in view, and it can be depended on that the Minnesota regiment will not be far from the top. They will probably go with complete hew equipment and uniforms. In view of this fact very few will have any fault to find because two days are to be cut from the regular camp term.

Tho New Bill. The bill providing amendments to the military code and carrying an increase of $15,000 in the annual appropriation for the national guard is now a law, having been passed by the senate on Monday, and receiving the signature of Gov. S. R. Van Sant on Thursday.

Guardsmen are naturally very jubilant, for the passage of thi3 bill means much to them. The committee on legislation, which had charge of the bill, did a noble work and are to be congratulated. Among the hardest workers were Adjt. Gen. E.

D. Libbey. Col. C. A.

Van Duzee and Maj. George C. Lambert, all of whom were untiring In their efforts to secure the passage of the bill. No opposition whatever was encountered, all of which speaks well for the harmony that now prevails on all sides. Never has the national guard regiments and battalions, officers and men been on better terms with one another than at present.

Harmony has been the pass word for some time and may it continue so. One of the important changes in the new bill is the abolition of the medical department as a separate institution, which is considered a wise move.
