The game was going alone smooth ly up the first of the fifth inning, when the manager of the Blissmers took the liberty of standing berund the batter. After a little wrangling over the matter he decided not to play any longet and called In his umpire and walked away with the purse of $21.50. It was reported that he had $10 of the, purse In on the game himself. Both pitchers were in fine form and were pitching great ball up to this period of the grime. Krug pitched gooa ball up to the fourth, when a single and a two-bagger brought In one run. ' Heckleman started with a single, Wheeler sacrificed. Heckleman taking second when Bohllng hit for two bases, scoring Heckleman, and later he stole third.

The two days of continuous entertainment given the Glldden tourlsta by Minneapolis motor entnusiasts was concluded last evening, and the travelers retired early to prepare for the second week's work beginning today. The run will be t Mankato. 132 miles, the shortest Tun nf the entire tour, and a schedule of seven hours will make the run an easy one particularly as the roads aro said to be in splendid condition. Yesterday's entertainment consisted of an automobile ride to Lake Minnwtonka, followed by a two hours' boat ride around the lakes, dinner at the Tonka club, with another automobile ride to the Minneapolis Country club, where luncheon was served. The day was a perfect one and every feature of the entertainment was conducted in a manner which will cause the tourists to remember the true hospitality of Minneapolis. Owing to repairs on bridges a slight change of route is necessary in today's run. but the distance will not be materially changed. The start was made at 8 o'clock, an hour later than is customary, due to the short distance to be traveled. During the week the tourists will cover the distance from Minneapolis to Denver with a variety of roads, ranging from mud to quicksand, and from level plains to mountains. Th-e week is expected to eliminate several of the perfect scores. MAYOR BLOCKS JEFFRIES' BOUT Milwaukee Executive Refuses Permit for Go. Milwaukee, Wis., July 19. James J.
