Can Ride Them Dead or Alive.

A railroad ticket is good for the
transportation of the body of the
purchaser whether he is dead or
alive according to the decision of
the Western Passenger associa-
tlon at the recent Houghton meet
ing. The association agreed that
roundtrip tickets should be good
for the transportation of the
body of the purchaser if he died
before completing his journey,
no matter at what rate it was
bought. A person in charge,
however, must accompany the
corpse and hold full fare ticket.
The first reports of the decision
stated that no tickets purchased
at reduced rates would be ac-
cepted for the transportation of
bodies of persons who died be-
fore completing trips.

The Northern League Not
Making the Money That
1t Should.
MANAGERS DISCUSS SITUATION
AT GRAND FORKS.
All Clubs Over Salary Limit And
Deficits Stare Promoters
In Face.

Grand Forks, N. D., July 19.-
Finances We're discussed at a
meeting OF the Northern Base
Ball League board of control in
this city yesterday. The subject
was handled without gloves and
as a purely business proposition.
Grand Forks, Crookston and
Fargo are ready to quit for this
season, while Duluth and Winni-
peg want to finish the season as
scheduled.
1t developed during the discus
sion that the Northern league
was furnishing too fast an article
of ball and entirely too expensive
a luxury. In all Of the cities
from $4,000 to $4,000 was raised
to support ball teams, and it is
found now that if the season was
chopped off at once Duluth would
be about 81, 700 in the hole. and
Grand Forks and Fargo would be
about 81, 400 each worse off than
nothing. Winnipeg is but little
better off financially, and Super
ior is close behind, Crookston be-
ing in better condition than any
team in the league from a. tinan
cial standpoint.
All of the cities have better
teams than the patronage ac-
corded will stand, Winnipeg
leading in the matter of receipts,
with Grand Forks a close second.
The teams in some instances are
costing $4,000 and even more a
month, where the national agree
ment confines them to $500.
None of the managers desire
to quit at this stag of the game,
but something must be done to
cut down salaries and expenses,
and W. j. Price, M. Stanchfeld,
and E. Fl. Kent we're appointed a
committee of three to advise ways
and means for reducing the cost
OF the teams in order that the
season may be finished with the
league intact. This committee
will report at another meeting of
the board of control held mere
Thursday.
