ball players will be in evidence this
year.
1t is an open secret that the managers
Of the different teams are paying but
little attention to the salary limit, and
more than one of the clubs will have
pay rolls somewhat in excess of the
agreement entered into. This fact seems
to be generally understood, and when
a good man is found he is offered good
money. So long as this policy affects
none but the club owners the patrons
of the game can stand it if the mag
mates can.
Northern League Is Fast.
The Northern league will start the
1904 season with better teams than
many of the leagues embracing larger
cities. Ball players declare that the
Northern league is faster than the
Three 1 or the Iowa Central leagues,
and there are many who place it on
par with the Western. There were
some good teams in the league last
year, but this season will find the
Northern faster than ever before.
Last year Fargo and Superior were
the weak sisters, but these two towns
will not be at the bottom of the list
this year Claims are being made in
both Fargo and Superior that their re-
spective teams will set the pace this
year and the makeup of their teams
seems to justify the statements
Up in Fargo Matt Camitsch, the
manager of the Fargo team, has been
working overtime in his search for
good men, and the manner in which
he has succeeded has thrown somewhat
Of a scare into his fellow managers
throughout the entire circuit. 1t is
known that Camitsch has a number Of

SAINTS WILL PLAY
FIRST GAME TODAY
KeiEey's Men to Line Up Against
Terre Haute Central
LeaguerS.
Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, April 2.-The
Saints were given a good workout to-
day, having spent more than five hours
out at Central League park, where
they are training The new men con-
tinue to show up in fine shape, and all
of them give promise of being high
class players before many weeks.
Manager Kelley said tonight that the
team showed up 20 per cent stronger
than year ago after the same amount
of training. The weather took on a
disagreeable change here this after
noon, and the men felt the chill air
keenly. Good weather is promised for
tomorrow, when the Saints will line
up for their first game of the season.
Kelley could not say tonight just how
he would line up his team for tomor-
rows game, but it is his intention to
give all Of the men a chance in it. His
opponents in the Sunday game will be
the Terre Haute Central league team,
and the Hoosiers will line up as fol-
lows:
Catcher. Street; pitchers, Reed. Smith
and Grub; first base, Richardson:
second base, Frick; third base, Smeltz:
shortstop, Baird; left field, Backof;
center, Thompson; right, Warrender.
Special Correspondence to The Globe.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, April 1.-The
Saints have become settled at last,
and by moving from the Filbeck hotel,
where they were compelled to sleep
two and three in room, to single
rooms in private residences the men
will be able to remain here comfort
ably until they go to Columbus to open
the season about April 10. The first
out-Of-d0or work done was that OF
Thursday afternoon, when eighteen
men in suits were on the field. Every
man did well and the try-out was en-
tirely satisfactory to Manager Kelley.
The work done In practice so far
has been highly encouraging, and es-
pectaIly are the three new outfielderS,
Lawler. Wood and lie Barren, doing
good work. 1t will be a neck-and-neck
race which are to be retained when 1t
comes to choosing the fourteen men
who will travel with the team. Law
Ter was the last of the fielders to ar
rive here. He was due in Chicago last
week. but heavy snow storms prevent
ed his arrival until Thursday. He
came from Washington, where he play
ed last year with Tacoma. Frank LIE
Barren, of Binghamton, N. Y, did well
in the workout taken so far, and Har-
ry Wood is satisfactory.
Players Now Like Terre Haute.
The men are all satisfied with Terre
Haute and speak well for the local
athletic park, which is now as good as
any of the minor league parks in this
part Of the country. The sandy clay Of
which the diamond. is made, dries
quickly after a rain and the players
are able to stand on 1t we'll.
The photographers have already been
after the bunch of Saints, and many
of them have been snapped while at
work or after being called from the
field to pose for the camera man.

tice having been prevented the past
week on account of vacation. School
will open again at st. Olaf on We'd
nesday, and if the weather permits,
Capt. Brenna will call his men out at
once, and they will be given hard
workouts each day until the opening
of the season.
Carleton's first game will be played
one week from next Saturday, when
they will meet the Austin high school
team at Mortified. 1t will be more of
a try-out game for both teams than
anything else, but the Austin team
is said to embrace some good ball play
ers, and Carleton will not take any
chances Of a defeat at the hands of
the youngsters. CarletOns first game
in the league series will be against
Shattuck on April 20, and both teams
are expected to be in prime condition
by this time.
All of the Conference teams will be
in position this year to put up first
class article Of ball. and no prediction
can be made of where the pennant is
apt to float until the teams have trav-
eIed a part of the distance through the
schedule. Every team in the league is
claiming that it will finish somewhere
in the first division, and a hard fight
will be made to bear out these predic-
tons.

good things up his sleeve, and when
he is ready to announce his lineup
there will be some surprises.
The fact that Camitsch has secured
Perry Werden, the veteran ball player,
as manager of the Fargo club, will as
sure his being able to pick out team
of fast ones. Werden's wide acquaint-
ance and popularity, as well as his
ability to judge ball player, will be
of good service in picking out timber
for the Fargo aggregation. Camitsch
and his Fargo team will bear watch
ing.
Perry has already signed the most
of his men, and If they show up as
we'll on the diamond as they do on pa
per the Dakota town will not finish as
an "also ran" Behind the bat Werden
will have in Edwards, an old-timer
whose coaching will be of much value
to the young pitchers. A catcher
named Anderson has also been signed,
and the new man has the best of rec
concentrations.
On the firing line Fargo will be rep
resented by Curry, Bailey. Edwards,
Nelson, Mehl and Lynch, which means
that the team will not be weak in it's
pitching department. Werden will play
first base and captain the team, and
the half way station will be looked
after by Vandyle, formerly with Des
Moines in the Western. Moriarity. who
played with Atlanta in the Southern
league last year, will hold down third
base, while White, Hickey and Burrows
will fight it out for the position at
short. The outfielders will be made up
of Rose, Spellicy and Troeger, a trio
which the Fargo fans are willing to &C.

NEW RACING YACHTS
At WHITE BEAR LAKE
Sixty New Boats Being Con.
struCted for the Coming
Summers Sport.

Much has already been said and writ
ten regarding the preparations of the
White Bear Yacht club to lift the Sea-
wanhaka cup this summer, and 1t might
seem to many that the club is doing lit
tie else than to unite itself in one mighty
effort to win the Montreal races. This
is not so, however, and while the pre-
liminaries for the races at Montreal will
require much time and thought, they
have been placed in the hands Of a COM
petent working committee. But much else
has already been done to maintain and
increase the high standard of the cub
by new additions to it's local racing fleet
for its weekly regattaS, beginning with
the races of May 80.
Yachting at White Bear lake has prac-
tically developed a new industry in the
West and one which has grown to such
proportions that it ranks favorabIy with
similar industries in the East, and that
is the building Of sail boats and launches.
While boats have been built at White
Bear for the past ten or twelve years,
the combined output of all the shops was
hardly a half dozen in the season. This
year the three shops will aggregate more
than sixty new boats, some of which have
been ordered from points as far east as
New York. The success of the White
Bear built boats is well known wherever
small yachts are used, and there is hard
~ a lake in the Middle West which has
not from one to dozen White Bear boats
on 1t. From a point of excellent work
manship, design and speed they have al
ways been in the first ranks, and have
won many trophies on outside waters
Fine Fleet of Class q Boats.
Builder John johnson has turned out q.
feet of handsome Class B boats, fourteen
in all. Twelve of these are patterned
after the successful Pluto, which showed
such marvellous speed last season. John
son has made some improvements on the
new boats over the original Pluto design,
having eliminated some minor objection
able feature, but, as whole, they will be
almost exact duplicates. The new boats
are slightly longer and wider, and John
son has used solid backbone in their
construction The manner of stepping the
mast will necessarily be changed by rea-
son Of this backbone, and the builder has

with which st. Paul will cross bats on
Sunday is a strong aggregation, but
could hardly be expected to compare
with the winner Of the American asso-
citation pennant. Most of the men are
young, but there are several old heads
and wise players in the most RESPONSE
bic positions. Manager Mum War
render has picked his men carefully
and believes the team will win the
Central league pennant. Among the
players prominent in the lineup for
Sunday will be De Almond, who has
been sold to Cincinnati but will not
play with the Reds until after the sea-
son advances because he could not get
in condition; and Richardson, catcher
and first baseman, who received a try
out with the St. Louis Nationals two
years ago, but was a little under par
For time there was doubt about
Jack Clark, the full-blooded Indian
coming to Terre Haute to join the
Saints. He had nice offer from New
Orleans and would have liked to play
there. but Manager Kelley insisted
that his contract be kept and the In
dian is now here.

will be covered by Carlisle, Howell and
NoVacek, the latter coming from the
Three l league, where he was one Of
the best batters last season.
1t looks as if Neil, had surrounded
himself by an aggregation that will
cause the other teams considerable
worry before the end of the season.
Winnipeg Strong Again.
Winnipeg, the pennant winners Of
the last two seasons, will be strong
again this year. and will contest any
attempt to pull down the banner from
their flag pole.
Ned Egan, the st. Paul ball player,
who is managing the champions, has
been in st. Paul all winter. and he has
not been idle much of the time. Egan
has had his eye open for fast ones
and he has been successful in landing
a number. The Winnipeg manager has
had the advantage Of working during
the winter with Manager Kelley, Of
the Saints. and number of good things
were tipped off to him by Mr.. Kelley,
which Egan was not slow to take ad-
vantage of.
Howard will do the major portion Of
the work at the receiving end for Win
nipeg this year, and Bemiss. Finnegan,
Erickson and Staples are a quartette
of pitchers able to hold up their end
of the work in defending the cham
pionship title. Harry Clayton, a ST.
Paul boy, who was for a season with
the Chicago Nationals, and who has
kept in practice by playing amateur
ball ever since. will be at first base.
and the second bag will be cared for
by Kelley, who will captain the team.
Kelley was one of the best in the
league last year, and much is ex-
pected Of him this season. He is a
brother to Mike Kelley. manager of
the ST. Paul team. and knows the game
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1904-04-03

HE different managers of the teams
in the Northern league are vieing
with each other in their endeavors
to give their respective towns pennant
winning aggregations, and as result
of these efforts the patrons of the Lax
dali organization will be given an oppor-
tunity of seeing a much better quality
of baseball than they witnessed last
summer, and there were two or three
towns in the Northern which finished
the season last year with teams good
enough to make showing, and good
one. against the best to be found in
any of the minor organizations.
There is not a team in the league
but that is stronger this year than last,
and a lineup of the different clubs,
as they appear on paper, leads to the
belief that the race will be a close one
in 1904 That the Northern league fans
will be treated to a better article of
baseball there is no doubt, as every
team in the circuit is stronger than it
was last year, and until the season is
we'll started no prediction can be made
as to where the rag is most apt to
float at the close of the schedule.
While the league last year was sue
cessful and most of the towns were
represented by good teams, there was
somewhat of a reluctaney about going
after the higher salaried players on ac-
count of the financial success Of the
league. Now that the league is on a
sound footing. with a feeling of per-
manency existing in all of the towns
having teams. the club managers are
showing a more liberal inclination to

Unknowns at Grand Forks.
Grand Forks has a bunch of I'M
knowns, but Charley Cole. who is at
the head of the team, says there wiki
be nothing to 1t but Grand Forks when
the season opens. He says he has a
lot of fast ones, and will be in a posi-
ton to prove that a ball player can
play ball without reputation if given
an opportunity.
There are two or three players on
the Grand Forks team that need not
be claSSed as unknoWnS, however, and
If the balance Of the team is on q par
with Cole, SchWarnWeber, Brown and
Hanrahan there need be no great wor-
ry over the showing that will be made.
Cole Will be seen at first, SchWarn-
weber at short and Clint Martin at Sec
Ond. The balance of the team is made
up of ball players, who are touted as
wonders, but who have as yet to show
what they can do in company as fast
as the Northern league will furnish
this season.
Less is known about the Crookston
lineup than that of any other team in
the league. Your Uncle William Neil,
regarded as the father of baseball in
the Dakotas, has the selection of the
team in charge. and while he has been
saying but little, he is said to have
been saving wood most industriously,
and when the word is given Crookston
will not be left at the post
Managers the league over concede
that Neil has a good battery in Mar
tin and Henry, and Buck will not be
found wanting at first base. Shields
will play at second and captain the
team, and the third station will be
well cared for by Quigley. Breyette
will play at short. and the outf1eld

all the way through. Richards has
been selected to play at third, and
either Everett, Plath or Walsh will be
seen at short. Egan will be out in
left field, and he has his eye on two
fast ones which he declines to name
until he has them cinched by contract.
He says they will prove most agree
able surprise to the fans if he is sue
cessful in signing them.
Practice Works Begins Soon.
Nearly all of the teams will begin
their spring training within a few DAYS
now, so as to be in condition for the
opening of the championship season,
which does not start until along in
May.
Manager Egan has sent out notices
to the Peggers to report at St Paul
for practice next Wednesday morning,
and the greater part of the preliminary
work Of the champions will be done in
this city, where all of the fast teams Of
the state will be met. The down town
ball park will be used by the team, ex-
cept on Sundays. when the games will
be played at Lexington. Four games
will be played each week, and it will
be the first opportunity the St Paul
rams VIII have to see real baseball, as
the Saints will not appear at home I'M
til May 6.
Duluth will go into training at Chip
pewa Falls, Wis, April 20, and Don
Cameron will take his Superior bunch
down to La Crosse to get them in the
proper condition. Fargo will most like
ly train at New Richmond, while Grand
Forks will do their training at home,
Crookston players will go to Keokuk,
Iowa, where they will have the advan-
tage Of meeting some good teams, and
On their way home games will be play

ity fame, will manage and play first
base for Superior, and after several
months Of Skirmishing he is satisfied
that his team will make a most cred
liable showing. When the men signed
by Cameron are lined up there is some
ground for the managers prediction
that Superior will have something to
say about where the rag will be raised
at the close Of the season.
For backstOps Cameron has contracts
with Leach and Rogers, and his pitch
ing staff will include KiIroy, Slette and
Freeman. O'Dea will be at second
Donnon at third, Varco at short, and
with Cameron at first there will be
nothing wrong with the infield. Chan
dler, Spike" Anderson and Foster will
guard the outfield posts.
Unless the other clubs have some
good players under cover Duluth will
undoubtedly start the season with the
strongest aggregation in the league.
Manager Van Praagh has surrounded
himself by a bunch of fast ones. and
all Of them have had valuable expert
ence.
Mullane, as catcher, will show up
with the best in the league. Shaw,
Bubser and Gehring are a trio of twirl-
ers capable Of making the best stick
artists in the league do some tall
guessing. link will guard the initial
bag, and Schooley will look after Sec
ond. Quillan will be seen at third, and
the position at short will be intrusted
to Ball, who is in every way capable
of caring for it. Wilkes has been sign
ed for the left garden. Lager for the
center territory, and right will be look
ed after by Graves. Frank Sheppard
and Hughes will also be on the team.
This is an aggregation that should
be able to deliver the goods, and the

More Steamers at White Bear.
Eugene Ramaley has added big launch
to his feet of steamers during the win
ter, and has busted himself with building
motor boats as well as sail boats. The
launch which he built for himself is a
handsome affair, OF torpedo design, en-
tirely closed in and which will be as
comfortable as any one could desire, no
matter what the weather may be. Ra-

commodation of the cottagers and in

Of the lake, touching at all points about
once each hour. The boat is SO feet
long and will easily carry so people. A
25-horse power cylinder gas engine will
give her speed sufficient to lose anything
else on the lake. The window arrange
ment Is very similar to that used on
street cars. They can be raised or lower

the passengers. Residents of the peninsula
and island will appreciate the move RAJ
maley is making in placing this launch
at the service of the lake people, as it Is
intended to meet every other car at Wild

traffic as in past seasons.
