WHAT THE FIGHTERS SAY.
McGOyern and Nelson Both Confident
Of Their Superiority.

Of Their Superiority.
McGovern's statement:
II was disappointed in this fight. 1
expected to knock Nelson out in less
than four rounds and still believe that
I can do it if the referee will do as
has been done in all other fgths,-
separate us in the clinches. There
was no swapping of waIlops in this
fight. When l say this do not in
tend to take any credit from Nelson,
for he is the toughest man l ever
fought. He is the hardest to land on
and even when a blow is landed at
full swing it does not seem to hurt
him. But can hurt him and will if
we ever fight again and l hope that
will be soon. He used his head unfair
ly and if the referee had separated
us, as believe he should have done,
l could have hit him when and where
l wanted to hit him and I would have
dropped him. too. He Jared me a
little in the fifth round and also In
the sixth. but l was in no danger. I
knew just where was and what 1 was
doing all the time.
"a longer fight will tell the tale and
it can't come too soon for me. I have
tried out Nelson's wallop. 1t is
nothing like Young Corbett's and can
whip him in twenty-round fight.
There were many stipulations in
this fight. but in the next one there
will be one on butting which must be
enforced.

thuSiasn. The baseball proposition is
the best advertisement the northern
country can get and the towns involved
must have and they will get it when
the time comes"
Sunday afternoon another attempt
will be made to bring about the merger
between the Northern and the Copper
Country leaguers in a meeting at
Duluth.
It is beginning to be an old story to
the fans, and until they see the agree
ment actually drawn up and signed,
and the league finally organized, they
will not believe that it will be brought
about 8
There must be something to the
claim of ]. M. Lamb that the Copper
country Officials are really in favor Of
the league. howsver, or they would
not go to the expense of another trip
to Duluth to talk the matter over,
when they had apparently finally
given up all thought of it,, says the
Duluth Herald. ~
The fact is that the Copper Country
league is little better off than the
Northern. A four-club circuit, playing
daily games soon pals on the fans,
and while it is true that there is a big
saving in railroad fares in such
compact league, there is nothing to
sustain the interest in the pennant
race. and the managers would find it
difficult to support teams with 81 900
salary limit, in such league.
The Northern league men are not as
confident as they were of bringing
about the eight league, or at least
they do not express their opinions SO
freely, but there is still good chance
that such a league will be organized,
to include Duluth, Grand Forks,
Fargo, Winnipeg, Lake Linden, Calu-
ment, Houghton and Hancock.
Less than six weeks remain before
the teams SHOULD report for spring
practice, and If there is to be either a
Copper Country or Northern league
this year, the magnates will have to
begin to play ball.
Capt. O'Dea has been busy sign
ing men, and he has forwarded to
Duluth list of the contracts to which
he has secured signatures. With four
exceptions the members of the Duluth
team will be strangers, and little is
known concerning them. The ma
jority of theel have been brought
from the Independent teams in the
East. The following is the list:
Catchers, Hunschle and Adams.
Pichers, Van Burger, Ferguson,
Kirck and Erickson.
First base, O'Dea.
Second base, Miller (probable).
Third base, Ban.
Short stop, Brickett.
Outfielders, Meniece, Bennett, Me-
Cormick and John Mourissey.

The Little Chap's Faith.

It's a comfort to me in life's battle,
When the conflict seems all going
When I seem to loose every ambition,
And the current of life seems too
strong,
To think that dusk ends the warfare,
That the worry Is done for the nirht;
And the little chap there at the window
Believes that his daddy's all right
In the heat of the day and the hurry
I'm prompted so often to pause,
While my mind strays away from the
striving.
Away from the noise and applause,
The cheers may be meant for another;
Perhaps ! have lost in the fight:
But the little chap waits at the window
Believing his daddy's all right.
can laugh at the downfall and failure;
l can smile at the trials ana pan;
l can feel that in spite of the errors,
70 The hest. struggle has not been in vain.
That comfort and solace at night,
When the little chap waits at the
window.
Believing his daddy's all right.

The list of entries reaches we'll

New York the cities have sent in
delegations, and Lewistown, Buffalo,
Cleveland, Cincincnati, st. Joseph Dem

points.
Sessions of the American Bowling
Congress, the controlling organization
of the game, will be held during the
week, and when the election of new
officers and selection of city for the
next annual championship come up
hot fights are looked for. Colonel

ecutive, has declined to stand for re-

What Nelson Says.

Statement by Battling Nelson:
Cone more round and I would have
had McGovern. He is mine if we ever
go further than six rounds. and now
that know that can do it. six rounds

is clever fellow and has a punch.

Il was neither tired nor hurt at the
end of the fight and. of course. was
not in position to Judge we'll of
McGovern's condition. but my manager,

thought I had him going in the fifth

THAT LARIMORE MYSTERY.
Heads Nod Wisely but Every ne is Be.
ing GoOd-A Woman in Black.

On first entrance into the little town
of Larimore thirty miles west of here
it certainly bellies it's looks, for it looks
one could find on a map any where,
but its not SO for that little town can
scrape up more sensation in a day
than many larger places can in year.
And just now if you happen out there
you can't help but notice the hunted
look on everyone's face 1t looks like
every body was laying low and were
afraid "The COLLINS would get them
if they didn't watch OUT. They tell
us the married men in that town right
now are better to their wives than
ever before and it's hard to catch
one OF them on the street after dark,
the single men are taking more in
terest in the churches and attending
regularly and the women are stay
ing close at home and darning their
bubbles socks, and as to little gossip
"a quiet little game on the side" or
even a drain of the cup that cheers
or a little chat over the back fence,
we'll those things are things of the
past in Larimore Everybody that
hasn't got reputation is being good
and trying to make believe they have
and those who have good regulations
are afraid Of their lives almost to
speak for fear of loosing them. And
its all because of the attempted alb
duction, arrest or whatever you may
call it of a woman out there by some
alleged private detectives. 1t is claim
ed the lady in question knows some
things that the persons involved would
rather she did not know and took
this means of getting rid of her, al
though what they intended to do with
her after they abducted her is still a
mystery Anyway. every man, woman
or child that looks sideways now at
Larimore is accused of being impli-
Gated in the plot, and whatever the
plot really is has not been decided and
every stranger that comes into town
is Immediately branded as a Pinker-
ton and the town is shrouded in mys-
terry. At last reports tall lady heav-
lily yelled and swathed in black is the
latest acquisition to the mystery. She
attempted an entrance into the lady's
house and the police were hurriedly
summoned, but she, like the private
detectives, disappeared like the will
O. the wisp before their arrival.
Larimore has always been quiet
little town for gossip and when these
things occurred out there, there were
few tongues that flew like mad but
all at once shut up and now that is
a mystery, too. for every one wonders
what accomplished it, and why this
sudden quiet of those who knew so
much, and it was always thought
would take muzzle to stop their
tongues. Anyway. Larimore is shroud-
ed in mystery. and everybody is being
good for they don't know what will
drop next.

among the first four.
Joe Harris, the former Fall River

1t is said that Jimmy Collins is
associated with Jesse Burkett in the
Worcester team, which recalls to mind
that Frank Selee, Walter Durham and
Malachi Kittredge all have managed

country, from Seattle to Fall River,
was at one time New York Giant,

twenty such blows and then fight
hard enough to put him out.
Il don't believe he is as tough a
man to beat as Britt was. In fact. 1
know he is not. and in twenty-round
fight l will put him away for keeps.
1t may take me longer than six rounds,
but don't believe he could knock me
out in sixty rounds. McGovern is a
cleverer man than I though he was,
but he is not as strong as 1 though.
Except for speed l am a better man
than he is at every point of fight,
and 1 don't want to take any credit
from him. at that. He is a tough man
but he has not chance with me-"

A. L. WOODS FOR SECRETARY.
Only Question of Time Until He is In
stalled in That Position.

The Grand Forks County Fair asso-
citation have formerly named A. L..

clinched the matter.
