Duluth Herald: The clouds which
appeared to hang over the baseball
Sky are disappearing, and the outlook
for the most successful season in the
history OF Northern league ball is as
suming very rosy tinge
For once the Duluth club is going tn
enter the game with the right kind OF
backing. The stock of the new COM
pany is finding Il good market and be-
tween forty-five and fifty shares have
been disposed of at their par value OF
$25 apiece
The company has 400 shares to sell,
but not all of this will be placed on the
market, the incorporators taking up a
large block of it themselves 1t is
hoped to sell from 100 to $50 shares.
and this should be readily disposed of.
This would give the team from $500
to $3.50, and this would be sufficient
to place the grounds in the best of
shape, add the new bleacher which is
to be built and back the team through
the most unsuccessful of seasons.
But the team itself should make
money this year. 1t more than cleared
expenses last season, and it should
have a good balance ON the right side
of the ledger next September.
The club is planning to purchase the
grounds where the park is located in
the West End and make small pay
ments on them from the money receives,
ed from the sale of stock.
Favorable reports are coming from
Houshton and Grand Forks. which
were backward with their plans for
the season.
In Houghton the fans are getting to-
sether and the team is now apparently
assured of the right kind Of backing.
The stories from Grand Forks are
labelled as wolf reports, sent out To
arouse the dormant interest in the
team. The hackers of the club were
anxious to get the fans aroused and
the reports given out were the reverse
of optimistic. But it seems now assur-
ed that Grand Forks will be represent
ed by the right kind of team and that
the Tigers will again be a factor in
tne pennant race as In former years.
Following are some clippings from
papers around the circuit. which
should interest the fans:
Copper Country News: The Calu-
met team is assuming a definite sham.
and already a number Of men have
been signed. 1t is believed, however:
that some of the men who are signed
will be released shortly after the sea-
son opens as the agreement permits
the team to carry but eleven men in
the season and already more than that
number have been secured and others
are being approached.
Inc following men are regarded as
sure: kusta, Grimes, Morrison, Cook.
Mutter, Wallace Vorpagel, Monahan5
Bufka and Carrigan. Other players
VINO may be seen in Calumet are Me-
Bride and Kelly, iHfielders; Laughlin
McGraw and Noyes. outfielders. Local
rumor states that Houghton has made
proposition to Kaiser and that the
popular shortstop of the Calumet team
may play with the Giants. 5

disastrous than slip Of the foot
