FINAL MEET THIS WEEK
FOR THE PRAIRIE LEAGUE
Promoter Price Writes Frank Lycan About New League,
Which is Believed to Be a Go.-.Bemid Ready
With Its "Panga,' Etc.

AS the kinks begin to come out
of the delayed spring weather,
the Bemidji baseball fans are
emerging from their shell of
reticency and begin to talk of the
things along baseball lines that
are in store for this city during
the coming summer.
The attempts to organize a
"Prairie League" to be com
posed of teams representing Be-
midi, Crookston, Fargo, James
town, Bismarck, Grand Forks,
Devils Lake and Minot, seem to
be awaiting the pleasure of
President Price of Fargo, who is
gathering the 'fans" together in
the various towns and ascertain
ing the prospects for support of
fast ball. It is expected that
Mr.. Price will call a meeting in
a few days, at which schedule
committee will be appointed and
the final organization of the
league will be perfected.
Bemidji is ready and willing to
do her part for league ball. At
a meeting held recently, there
was unanimous sentiment for
league ball in this city. The
committee to whom was assigned
the task of soliciting funds for
the maintainance of team has
already secured guarantees for
$1,000, and as the city already
has fine ball park, centrally
located, we can boast of being
Gin it" with any team in the pro-
posed league.
The local management has, so
far, signed 40 players, but sever
al fast men have been kept in
line ard can be signed on-short
notice, and they will hold their
own'with any exponents of the
game who will be fixtures in this
league.
However, the call of President
Price is awaited with impatience,
as the ball nicrobe is getting
very busy with Bemidjl fanatics,
and there is liable to be an cpl
demic at any time.

ing the same. The board of

League of Baseball Clubs"
Represented at that meeting
ing either by proxy or, in person
was Minot, Crookston, Grafton,
Bemidji, Fargo, Grand Forks
and Bismarck. Temporary or.
g anization was formed and it was
decided to form a league if same
could be done with the following
limitations:
Salary limit not to exceed $500
per month; each team to guar
antee $25 per game to the visit
iog team playing on the home
grounds; also rain guarantee
of $25 per game; each team to
deposit in some designated treas
ury the sum of 5000 in cash that
they would go through the
season. The prospective season
would be on or about May 3Oth
to August 18th. 1t was also de,
cided at this meeting that unless
Bismarck could induce James
town to enter the prospective
league, it would not pay for this
league to consider Bismarck.
The same conclusion was arrived
at regarding Minot and Devils
Lake, as it is the intention to
keep compact circuit with
short mileage if this league is
formed.
Now the writer does not care
| to give any more Of his time to
this matter and is writing this
letter to representatives of the
bove towns and will ask them
to comply with the following:
That you will agree in writing to
send a representative to meet
ing to be held in Grand Forks
not later than April 9th; that
you will agree to enter the league
under the conditions as named in
| the foregoing and that you will
agree in attending this meeting
to be prepared to deposit the
sum of 5000 il some designated
treasury as a guarantee that you
will go through the season and
complete the organization; that
you will agree to the $25 guar
antee per game, also the $25 rain
guarantee.
| If you will agree to this, kind
ly advise the writer either by
wire or letter by return mail and
the writer personally will agree
to see to it that meeting is
called on suitable date at which
time we will endeavor to perfect
an organization as above out
lined.
For your information the
writer wishes to state that he is
in no way a candidate, nor will
he be considered candidate for
any Office in the gift of the
league, as am only endeavoring
to form this league; as it is my
desire to see baseball; but want

Avoea's School for Small Boys.

How many of our readers know that
there is a school for small boys in
Avoca. Murray county. Minnesota
The fact is recognized that small boys
should have wholly different system
Of care and discipline and be kept
away from the older boys. and have
a home life and school life to them
selves. Many of the boarding schools
receive little boys of eight years and
upwards to live in the same school or
on the same grounds with large num-
bers of boys fourteen to twenty years
of age. On account of their tender
years they are unable to cope either
with the requirements of school pri-
marily intended for advanced work.
or to compete with the older boys on
the recreation grounds. Thus the
growing necessity for school FOR
small boys led the Sisters of ST. Jo-
seph to open ST. Demands Hall in
Avoca. Parents who for any reason
desire to place their young sons in
school away from home would do well
tn correspond with the Mother Supe-
rior.
