Y. M. C. A. Athletic park. The
local team will be composed of the
best talent in Fargo and Moorhead

,iu the Red River Valley league two
years ago, will officiate on the slab
today and Slette will pitch for Fargo
tomorrow. Peterson was in Iowa
state league last year and has been

He is in fine form and should win
his game. The Cooperstown team
has a record to be proud Of. They
have won nearly all the games played
this summer and claim the champion
ship of the state. They defeated
Grand Forks and broke even with
Wheatland-each winning one game.
Fargo has not lost a game this
yearand this one will settle the
state championship. The soldier
boys will be admitted free of charge.
Leo Ryan, of Company B, will
probably play first base for the Fargo
team.-Argus.
We doff our hat to the Argus for

Already have made application
to have between forty and fifty

the presidential class last July,
and three more are to be raised
to that class on the first of Oct

For the men that make the money

Without assistance or consent

To haul the stun around.
