MARCH FIRST IS THE
. LAST .||DAY Of
GRACE
e.. i
Contracts for BAN Players
Must Be Officially
Signed.

The usual agitation of the baseball
question is at hand as it ia every year
and the old question comes up; is
Grand Forks to have baseball team
in the Northern league this year?
One thing seems apparent; unless
the contracts with players are signed
by March list. they will at that time
be privileged to go to any other league
they may see fit as the day of bond
age" expires then. NJ. Stanchfield,
last years manager. has the contracts
ready for signature and the same will
be sent out at once. The players will
in all probability return them for the
signature of the ma,Slger Of the team,
whoever that may be and Mr.. Stanch-
field is emphatic in saying that he
will not, under present conditions
sign them as he is not the manager.
1t Is certain that should we have q
team in the league, and It Ia to be
hoped that we do, the old players will
be wanted by local fans. Spike" An
dersOn and the bunch made good in
the hearts Of local fans last season
and they are wanted back. Mr.. Stanch-
field has contracts ready for them all
to sign and the men are willing but
the difficulty is going to arise when
they return the same for the proper
endorsement of, the local manager
which they will undoubtedly do.
When seen by an Evening Times
man this morning Mr.. Stanchfeld
said: II for one want to go on record
as saying that personally am opposed
to this continued asking a few men
to go into their pockets to pay the sum
necessary to maintain q team here.
The question arises with me. is Grand
Forgs large enough town to support
professional ball? The attendance
last year upon the games In this city
was IL per cent Of the population of
Grand Forks. 1t is good percentage
as compared with other towns and the
population here. For instance, the
percentage of attendance at Duluth
was but 4 per cent, that at Winnipeg
about s per cent and you will see that
the attendance was proportionally
good here. would like to see team
in this city but personally 1 am
through attempting to hold it together
at the expense of few men and. it is
a serious problem whether this city
will support professional ball. We
may be obliged to come down to
amateur ball and this is condition
many other smaller cities in the league
are confronting"

Morning Sheet Continues to Make Wild
Guesses rs to the Intention of Local
Candidates-Mr. Swengel VIII Be in

The morning sheet continues to make
wild guesses as to the intentions of the
various local candidates. Its latest
blunder is relative to ]. ]. Swengel,
republican candidate for the nomina-
ton for alderman of the Third ward.
1t announced this morning that he
was heart sick and would probably
withdraw from the race. When seen
by an Evening Times man this morn
ing, Mr.. Swengel branded the whole
story as false and without any found
elton whatsoever. He has no such
notion and the first he knew of it was
when some one asked him relative to
the matter. He authorized The Even
ing Times to state that he was in the
race to stay until the people turned
him down or elected him to the posi-
ton which he seeks.

Of Jordan. The swift-moving stream

overilowed their banks-seemed to
separate them effectually from the re-
gions which stretched out on the
other side In verdant beauty as far
as the eye could see And more than
ever did the people turn With half en-.
vious eyes upon their brethren of the
tribes Of Reuben and Cad and part
or the tribe OF Manassch as they saw
them comfortably settled upon their
inheritance. Their fCcks and herds
spread themselves over the plains and
seemed TO share the feelings Of their
masters that at last they had found
rest and we're at home.
To be sure Moses had granted their
request lev asking for inheritance upon

here in this service which the
Reubenites and the Gadites and
Fart Of the tribe Of Manasseh
performed for their brethren.
IL emphasized the vital rela-
tionship which one bears to 9TH
ers about him, and the RESPONSE
bility which one must share in
securing blessings 70. the lives
of others.
These men had found their In
heritance. They were at home
> with their wives and little ones,
and flocks and herds. From a
purely selfish standpoint they
had nothing more to gain by war
and conflict.
But they must needs cross Jor-
dan, too,for their brethren needed
, them. These had not yet found
rest. They had not yet come
, into possession Of their inherit
ance, and so the Reubenites and
; the Gadites and the men Of Man.
asseh willingly left their pos
sessions behind to serve their
brethren and help them obtain
the blessing in which they were
already rejoicing.
There Is nothing which is re-
ceiving SO much emphasis to-
day as the duty which man owes
to his brethren. Every man
owes something to his fellow
man.
Have you attained the land of
promise, and come into your
riehtfuI possession Then your
duty towards your brother who
has not yet obtained the bless
ing is increased many fold.
You must not, you cannot say:
This is mine, will enjoy IL.
Let my brother look out for him
self. Nay, the fact Of posses
sion is the call to duty outside
Of yourself and for the sake of
others.
"And they passed over armed
before the children of israel"
II is one thing to be willing to
go and another thing to 90
armed and prepared for the con-
flict.
The preparation which these
men made was the earnest of
their purpose to face danger and
to be of real service. They
didn't hold back but they took
the lead. There was not a cow
ard among them, and no shirk,
watching for the opportunity to
escape hardship and toll.
"As Moses spske unto them"
Here was a pledge made months
before which was now being full
filled.
II is easy to promise some
thing, but how hard to fulfill. In
the flush Of gratitude and de-
light at coming into possession
of so pleasant land, no doubt
II was easy to say: I'VE will
CO." But when the weeks had
sped by, and they were occu-
pied with the enjoyment Of
their inheritance, then IL was
that the test came. Israel found
them true men, and doubtless
their enjoyment Of their posses
sions vas enhanced by the con-
sciousnees Of faithfuIncss. They
had promiced, therefore they
would serve. All, II only all our
promises which we are so ready
to make were as faithfully kept.
