GRAND FORKS WILL
DECIDE FATE Of
new LEAGUE
Action of Local Fans on Base.
ball Matter is Of Importance
to League Scheme.

Much depends on the action of Grand
Forks and East Grand Forks base
ball fans in regard to supporting
baseball team here this summer. The
matter of team in this city Is also of
considerable Importance to other cities
of the state, notably those which have
been mentioned as being possible men,
bers of league.
One proposition that the fans are
up against seems to be to secure one
that is willing to take charge of
team. All efforts made SO far to Sc
cure some one that is willing to take
hold of nine have been futile, and
unless some one shows up who is will
ing to put in team there will be moth
ing doing.
East Grand Forks wants baseball
this summer. The plan of combining
forces and supporting one team by
both cities seems to be thought of ia
vorably. Under an arrangement of
this kind, however, the park would be
in East Grand Forks. There are sew
eral advantages to having park in
the Minnesota city.
Sunday games could be played and
1t would not be so far from the bust
ness center of Grand Forks. With the
park located at any of the two or three
sites so far considered by East Grand
Forks baseball fans, there would be
sure to be large attendance at every
game.
At the meeting held here last week
of representatives of North Dakota and
Minnesota cities a circuit committee
was appointed. This committee will
hovo IN En0uy tho Foa1ipr IN HvooJ
Forks before 1t can do any work. I'm
organized here it is believed that the
league matter will fall through.
It's up to Grand Forks and East
Grand Forks to determine whether or
not a league shall be organized.
Conditions in Other Cities.
The baseball conditions in other
cities mentioned as possible members
of the league are in fine shape. The
two Minnesota cities which we're rep
resented at the recent meeting, Crooks
ton and Bemidji, are red-hot baseball
cities.-r ABemidji has, been longing to
get into organized baseball for some
time past, and will give team first
class support, as will CrOokston. The
Queen City fell down in the old North
ern league, but then the expense was
rather heavy.
Fargo can be counted upon as GER
tainty. Bismarck and jamestown have
not done very much as vet, but it would
only take a little work to make the
fans sit up and take notice.
Minot wants baseball, and so does
Grafton. In the latter city a larger
part of good semi-professional team
has already been signed. Devils Lake
has two league propositions on its
hands. Some time ago the organiza-
ton OF central Dakota league was
taken up, to INCLUDE Devils Lake and a
number of the smaller cities in that
part of the state. Devils Lake has had
professional baseball, and could sup.
port good nine this year.

WESTERN LEAGUE.

ABbOClutcO Tke0B ~ 1m0 NvG0lU8 1lmc0k
Des Moines, Ia, April 1.-THE West
ern league opens its season today with
six teams, Denver playing here, Pueblo
at Lincoln and Sioux City at Omaha.
Owing to the refusal of the national
baseball authorities to release Topeka
from the Western association, st. Jo-
seph, which was to have been the
eighth town in the circuit, will be de-
prived. of professional baseball this
season. Whether the season will be Il
successful one depends to a considera-
bic extent upon the attitude of the
Denver fans. George Tebeau owns the
Denver franchise, and it has been al
legged that he supplied the team with
cast-off players from his Louisville
and Kansas City clubs. AS a result,
the fans of the Colorado metropolis
practically boycotted the game last
year, and this policy will likely be con-
tinued unless the Grizzlies put up a
good article of ball. There is little hope
for this, as the aggregation was re-
peatedly defeated by lower class clubs
on its exhibition tour.

Not Occur.

The meeting of the members of the
'O6 football team OF the university,
which was to have been held this aft
ernoon, did not take place on account
of postponement being taken. Just
why the meeting was postponed has
not been announced, but it Is given
out. however, that there will be some
thing doing within the next two weeks.
The meeting was to have been held
for the purpose of electing captain
of the team to succeed "Ching" Davis,

cause of the fact that he will not be

Will REPEAT
BIG EXHIBITION
Y. M. g. A. Officials Decide to
Put Gymnastic Performance
on Again Friday

The success attending the gymnasium
exhibition given at the Y. Nj. C. A.
Tuesday evening, has resulted in the
announcement that tho exhibition
would be repeated at the big gymnasi-
UNI on Friday evening. That Is an
open date, and it is believed that there
will be big attendance.
The exhibition put on last night was
excellent. The forty odd young men
taking part in the affair made good.
It would be hard to select any one
feature of the performance and place
it on pedestal as being above any
other part of the program, for every
thing was just right.

HOUSE FLY
ADDS TO DISEASE
IN NEW YORK

Albany, NJ T., Dec. 1s.--ContendIng that
the polluted condition OF the harbor and
rivers in the vicinity of New York city Is
the cause of most intestinal diseases In
New York through the agency of the
common house fly, which disseminates
disease breeding germs, discharged about
the docks and shores, the Merchants as
sociation committee on the pollution of
the waters of New York has filed a com
plant with Gov. Hughes through it's
chairman, Edward Hatch, Jr.
The committee complains of continued
violations of the health law, declaring
that nothing has been done to remedy
unsanitary. conditions. The governors at
chapter 46S OF the public health laws OF
the state, for which the city of New
York, the committee contends is liable
OF daily fine OF $31,20O 1t is claimed
that the fines against the city, amounting
on Sept. l last to S4ls6, 16 has increased
to SAL 1856
The complaint goes on to say that the
ers and harbors are purified by the ebb
and flow OF the tide Is a fallacy. This
statement. II is said lis made on the au-
thority OF the Metropolitan Sewerage
commission.
= The committee says that the report of
DR.. Daniel d. jackson, one of its mem
bers, who made careful study OF the
subject during the past summer. shows
that the activity of the fly. due 20 the
bigh temperature. is coincident TO the
increase I'm typhoid fever and intestinal

that the extreme heat of the summer

that while such heat favors disease by

IDLE FRE|GHT
CARS FOLLOW
CUlTA|LMENT

The extensive curtailments by manu-
fscturers in New England. with the con-
sequent halt OF incoming material. has
resulted in one of the worst gluts of rail-
road yards and sidings in New England
for some years. Each OF the big IGil-
roads operating in New England report
large numbers of idle freight cars FOR
wh.cl- there is no immediate prospect Of
freight
At the present time the Boston and
Maine railroad alone reports almost 1000
cars idle on various parts of It's system.
with few ones to the extent OF from so
to 75 each week. being received In tulfill-
ment or an order placed several months
ago. Many OF the idle. cars which are
waiting In New England for freight are
foreign cars belonging to railroads In
other states and are subject TO an assess
ment'for each day over limited period,
that they are In possession OF a railroad
other than the owners These cars arc
Jeing held for the small freights which
they vii. be likely to get during the
Christmas season.
That the companies are hard pushed TO
secure employment for their idle cars is
shown by the large number OF cars bsng
sent to rorthern Maine to load Christmas
trees for points on western sections.
