SATISFACTION IN
THE NORTHERN
LEAGUE
Claimed That Everything is
Running Along Smoothly
at Present.

Duluth. Mimi, March 1S.-The four
teams which will make up the North
ern-Copper Country league this seas
on are showing a commendable deter
mination to stick to their guns. Per-
haps there is not one Of the clubs that
could not have dropped into slower
company with financial benefit to
themselves, leaving the old league an
empty memory. Duluth would have
been warmly welcomed into the Wis
consin league, Winnipeg could, without
doubt, have broken into the Canadian
league, and have practically dictated
terms of admission. The Copper coun-
try towns could have played a fairly
good article of ball among themselves,
and would doubtless have been better
off financially than they are at pres

MANY WAYS OF
THROWING BALL
Few Players in the Big
Lea9ueS'H Handle 1t the
Same Way

There are as many kinds Of throwers
as there are ballplayers-easy, grace
full, awkward, strong. deliberate. fast
snap throwers, long swing throwers-
but whatever may be the styles of the
different inhelders in the professional
ranks, they one and all have the same
purpose in view to get the ball to the
base ahead Of the runner.
The style doesn't matter if the get

Individual. That can't expression. IN
so far as it pertains to a set or recog-
nlzed standard style, has blessed base
bali by its absence. The batter who
humps himself like a camel hits the
ball as hard and often as the man with
the most graceful position, and tn,
thrower who is as angular as a hat
rack has as many assists as he who
propels the bail with the smoothest OF
motions.
