that l will take chance to face the

Good old John l.. Sullivan was the

JAP STUDENTS GOING CRAZY
OVER AMERICAN BASEBALL

Athletic reform has seized the facul-
ties of the universities in faraway Jap
an. In the mikado's land baseball,
which was introduced by Americans
only few years ago, is the great COL
lege sport, and so intense has become
the rivalry between two of the cham
pionship contenders that the faculty
recently stepped in and called off the
deciding game
This bit of Japanese athletic history
is contained in letter written to Dr.
rector Stage of the University of Chi
cago by Fred Merrifield. who was cap
tain of the Maroon nine in 1900 and is
now coaching the Waseda university
team. The letter contains the news
that the Waseda team, which a year
ago invaded the Pacific coast, is plan
ming on another American trip in 1905.
Coach Merrifield says that Manager
Abb of the Waseda nine is DESTROYS of
touring both the east and the west,
meeting college teams throughout the
country. He asks Director Stagg for
a series of games with the Maroon
team, with the request for information

VALLEY LEAGUE IS
WANTED BY
FARGO
Unable to Stand Nancy League
Expense-What They
Propose.

Fargo Forum: A valley baseball
league is what the fans seem to want.
With the rate bill in operation Fargo
sidestepped the North-Cop baseball
league. From Winnipeg to Calumet is
700 miles. The distances are too great.
The receipts in the copper country
were too small. Winnipeg is crack
ball town, but one city could not sup
port the league. The outlook was too
discouraging for Fargo to continue,
SO no representative was present at
the league meeting at Duluth.
For years certain contingent of
the Fargo fans have demanded a local
league. One could be arranged to in
clude Fargo, Grand Forks, Crookston,
MISUNDERSTANDING, Valley City,
jamestown and Bismarck. This would
make compact eight-club league.
The mileage would not be great, and
by making an ironclad salary limit
of 5000 per month the teams could
at least break even and some of the
towns might make little money.
1t has been clearly shown that a
long season is improbable. The sea-
son might start about Decoration day
and continue till Aug. Is. After that
date the harvest is on and people get
too busy for baseball.
BY starting as late as the last of
May. lot of crack college players
would be available. These, coupled
with the local talent and semi-pro-
fessional players over the country,
and other players dropped by faster
company, would make it easy for the
managers to get fast, ambitious play
ers for their teams.
Messrs. Price, Camitsch and Stern,
who have borne the brunt of baseball
In Fargo for four years at personal
loss of about $500 each, decline to
go in the North-Cop league and con-
tinue in losing game, but they an
nounce they will support team in
Fargo II an eight-club league is or
gained of the towns mentioned. En-
thusiastic baseball fans in the towns
mentioned have at different times
made an effort to break into the game.
Now ds the opportunity to do so.
Some enthusiastic man could be
made president-secretary and given
control of league affairs.
If the fans in the towns mentioned
wish to enter a league they should
communicate at once with w. ]. Price
of Fargo.

concerning the possibilities of arrang-
ing dates with other eastern and west
ern colleges.
In discussing japanese athletics Mr.
Merrifield says: Baseball is on a
rampage. Every corner lot aand street
has its group of small boys, and pitch
ers are springing up everywhere. with
odd attempts at the foreign swing.
Waseda is in the lead again this year.
The final game with Keio university
was called off by the faculty of the lat
ter because the students became too
much excited over the roofing. For
merly they have mildly clapped their
hands.
Last year small group monopo-
lized the roofing. This year hundreds
crowded the stands and grounds and
sang Japanese songs and gave Japan
csc and English yells-'rah-r ah' or
'ray-ray' chiefly. The last game for
the cup was postponed for fear the
students would lost control of them
selves, and all play ball or something
else after the game. From 10000 to
10000 students pack into the grounds
nowadays to see ball game

SEASON OF SEVENTY
DAYS IS ABOUT
RIGHT
After Aug. Is Baseball is Poor
Paying Proposition in
This State.

One strong argument being made il
favor of the organization of the pro-
posed North Dakota baseball league is
the fact that all towns being in the
same kind of country. namely, the
wheat growing regions, there would be
no dissatisfaction in regard to the
number of games to be played during
the season.
In the old northern league, the sea-
son was dragged along until Sept 1, a
month after it should have been car
ried along. The season was length
ened in order to accommodate the
cities in eastern Minnesota. During
the early part of the year weather con-
ditions are not at all satisfactory to
baseball in Duluth. Almost continu-
Gus rainfall cuts the attendance at the
early games, but in the latter part of
the season the crowds begin to come.
In Dakota it is just the opposite. Dur
ing the early part of the year there is
good attendance at all games, but
after Aug. baseball is a losing prop
osition.
The local team could have disband-
ed on Aug. l and be money ahead, but
Duluth would not stand for it.
AS the general plan of the new
league becomes known there is more
interest shown in baseball. The prop
osition looks good to the fans, and
some definite action may be taken this
week.
The length of the schedule proposed
would give to each town about thirty
five games. This would mean that
each team would play about seventy
games during the season.

Associated Press to The Evening Tines.
Albany. N. Y, Feb. 27.-The codes
committee Of the senate and assembly
today began a public hearing on the
Agnew-Stanley bills, which, If enacted
into law, will put stop to betting on
race tracks in New York state. Dis
trict Attorney Jerome is the author OF
the bills and allied with him in the en-
deavor to secure their passage are the
organized church forces of the entire
state. That the race track interests
are seriously alarmed over the outlook
Is evident by the strenuous efforts they
are now making to kill the bills in
committee and prevent their being re-
ported to the legislature.
