BASEBALL IN GRAND
FORKS NEXT
SEASON
M. Stanchfield Does Not Favor
the Nancy League-Would
Play Valley Ball.
WANTS SUNDAY GAMES
Says Drain on Supporters is
Too Heavy if They Can Not
be Played.
WANTS SUNDAY GAMES

AS the season of baseball ap-
proaches, the outlook for the year is
being discussed among local fans-to
limited extent. The failure attend
ing the efforts of Grand Forks last
year in the Nancy" league seems to
have dampened the enthusiastic ardor
of many fans, but about the time the
sun begins to shine on both sides
of Third street, there will be that
longing for look at "just one game"
and then some more.
There is very little probability that
Grand Forks will go into the Nancy
league under the present conditions.
Last year, the local team "f1unked"
when the season was a little better
than half over. The finances did not
come in the right way, and with a
losing team, the baseball spirits of
the fans died.
NJ. Stanchfeld, who was last year
manager of the Grand Forks baseball
team when seen by the Evening Times
reporter, stated that baseball, such as
was put up in this neck of the woods
last year was a wee bit expensive for
Grand Forks.
Under the present conditions" said
Mr.. Stanchfield at would be impossi-
bic to run team in this city and come
out any where near even. The Nancy"
league covers too large territory, the
mileage consumed being a big item
of expense to contend with"
"Then again" he continued Grand
Forks could not play league ball with
out Sunday games. These were bar
red last year, and it had much to do
with the failure of the team to go
through the season. Sunday ball
must be played in order to let the
team pull out any where near even
And, even though Sunday ball was
played, there would be some expense
attached, but the drain on the purses
of the fans will not be nearly as heavy.
Further, 1 might say that the best
kind of baseball for Grand Forks is
the article furnished by our own play
ers. A league, composed of six or
eight cities in the valley would be just
about right. Then, and only then, do
l believe baseball could be made
go here. There are a number of good
baseball towns in this part of the
country, and with mileage expenses

Wednesday, February 9th, be set
apart for the purpose of recounting
the life of this poet and for the read
ing and study of his works. There
are few children who are not more or
less familiar with "The Children's
Hour" The Village Blacksmith" the
Psalm of Life" "Hiawatha," Evan
geline" and "Courtship of Miles Stand
ish." We believe it is possible for
something to be found in the poems
of Longfellow which will appeal to
children of every grade.
Because of the probability that
somewhat elaborate programs will be
given in connection with the BIRTH
days OF Washington and Lincoln, we
do not recommend at this time any
elaborate program upon the occasion
OF the Longfellow anniversary, yet, 1t
seems to US that the day ought not
to pass without some recognition. We
leave 1t with the individual superin-
tendent and teacher to work out the
details of this memorial.

TO MEMORABLE THE HUNDREDTH
ANNIVERSARY OF LONCFELl0Ws BIRTH

Bismarck. February s, 1907.-The
teachers and superintendents in North
Dakota February 9th. 1907, is the
hundredth anniversary OF the birth OF
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Born
in Portland, Maine, educated at Bow
dom college. he spent the first twen-
ty-three years OF his life after leav-
ing college as teacher at his Alma
Mater, and later at Harvard. He left
the work OF the class room to devote
his entire energies to literary work.
While possibly he may not be con-
sidered the greatest poet America has
ever produced. Vet, no other has had
so strong Il hold on the affections of
the American people as Iongfellow.
He has sometimes been called the
Childrens Poet and, as such. it seems
fitting TO us that more than passing
notice be given to this anniversary
in the public schools of North Dakota.
1t is therefore our recommendation
that Il portion of the afternoon OF

Duluth Man Slated for Man
agership of Virginia, Mimi,
Ball Team.

Virginia, Mimi, Feb. S.-Artie O'Dea
the ball player, who was connected
with Duluth club last year. was in
town consulting with the FANS in
regard to the organization of CLUB
in Virginia. There is strong senti-
ment here in favor of team that can
compete with anything in Northern
Minnesota and it is probable that
O'Dea will be engaged to manage the
club. There are a number of good
players employed in the city, enough
to insure some first-class games, and
the probabilities are that a range
league will be organized to take in
Virginia, Hibbing, Eveleth, Ely, Grand
Rapids and possibly Cloquet.

SAW THINGS IN MICHIGAN
Travelling Man Says Michigan can
Show This State on Snow
Question.

'They can talk all they want to
about the abundance of snow in North
Dakota, but it will take more than talk
to convince me that as much of the
beautiful has fallen out there as in the
Michigan Copper county," said ira
yelling man today to a Evening Times
representative. II never before saw
such deep snow on the level as they
have around Calumet and Houghton.
There isn't much wind there, and con-
sequently there are no drifts. The
snow remains where it falls, so when
it is deep in one place you may res,
assured that it is the same depth all
over the district.
1T is no exaggeration to say that Ill
the streets and on the sidewalks OF
Houghton and Calumet, except, OF
course, where they have been shoveled
off, the stuff is from three to four feet
deep, and packed hard at that by the
people and teams that have passed
over it. In walking along the main
street of Calumet found my feet were
half way up the store windows, on a
level with the heads of the clerk In
side. The street car tracks appeared
as tunnel, SO far were they below the
level of the street.
In Hcughton the city authorities
evidently were trying to get the street
level down to within foot or two OF
the ground, for they were running
some sort of snow digging apparatus
along the street 1t shoveled out huge
chunks of the packed snow, which was
shoveled into sleighs and taken away.
They told me that the machine HAD
been over the same place four times,
and it looked to me as if it were still
about two feet from the pavement"
