Barrie, N. D.. Dec. 14.-To The For
UNI: AS the roads are good now the
farmers are busy hauling grain al
though not many are selling wheat as
the majority think wheat will bring
a little higher price later on in the
month.
The storm of last Saturday prevented
VIM. Watkins from coming from Fargo
to preach, but in the evening large
number of the young folks turned out
TO the meeting which was led by Dell
Allen.
Glen Watkins of Seattle who used to

VIM. Overboe of South Dakota. has

Mahmout Won.

Chicago. Dec. I6.-Yussiff Mahmout,
the Bulgarian wrestler, who came to
this country year ago and defeated
every aspirant for championship hon
ors until he fell before Worlds
Champion Frank Gotch, scored ade-
cisive victory over young Americas,
the Baltimore Speed Boy" in the
windup Of the show given by the
Empire Athletic club at the Coliseum.
Mahmout won in straight falls. and
so suddenly did he turn the first that
the crowd was more surprised than
any wrestling crowd has been in many
long day. 1t took just two minutes
and thirty-four seconds to pin the
shoulders Of the Baltimore man to
the mat. The second fall was a mat
ter OF endurance, and, gradually tir-
ing his man, the foreigner won after
they had been on the mat more than
half an hour.

MANY Big LEAGUE
STARS in line

The baseball fans have something
to rejoice over. even though the open
ing of the season is still far distant.
Just now it looks as If the hold-outs
among the stars would be few and far
between during the present winter
For the last two years the fans
have been compelled to read all kinds
of gush about Wagner, Coob and 9TH
ers prominent in the diamond game.
1t went all right for a time, but soon
became mighty tiresome reading.
There can be no gick from Hughey
Jennings, as the three time pennant
winning manager has already signed
up for 1910. 1t is understood that a
liberal increase was granted him.
After the great year experienced by
George Mullin in the season Just closed
1t was to be expected that he would
demand some enormous salary from
the Tiger, management. Perhaps
George made such a demand and had
It granted, but that's neither here nor
there. He has signed up for next year,
and that's all the fans at large care
about.
Tyrus Cobb, who again carried off
the sticking honors in the Ban b. John
son organization, is under contract for
two years. according to a recent De-
troit special. For the last two years
Tyrus has been very much in the lime
light, more so in the winter than in
the summer. AS stated intervals Ty
would announce his retirement, his
threat to go into business unless he
received q certain amount, and other
things too numerous to mention. This
promises to be a very quiet year of it
for the Georgia Peach from a publicity
standpoint
Hans Wagner has, already made
known the fact that he would wear a
Pittsburg uniform, so there can be no
worrying about the Teuton wonder.
Lajoie also has couple of more
years to his contract, so the Nap fans
need have no fear about the great
second sacker retiring to his chicken
farm.
All in all. 1t looks as If the fans
could take things easy this winter,
as they care little about the threats
of the lesser lights.

ROLLER SAW CIRCUS FREE.

When only a boy DIR. Roller.

Il remember" he said when in
Cleveland, going to a circus with
my older brother when / was only

This circus had strong man Civ
ing free exhibition and the man
ager said that anyone who could
duplicate his tricks would be given
a free ticket. The exhibition con-
sisted Of breaking straps across
his chest by expansion and lift

WINTER PLAYING
IS OVERDONE

If anything tends to shorten the ac-
tive life of a baseball player 1t is lack
of sufficient rest--not during the cham
pionship season so much as In the
winter time. The tension of the ter
rifle pace every day in the mad de-
sire to win the pennant, and thus get
a slice of the worlds series money
is so great that when the fight is
over the players are more benefited
by a complete rest or some lighter
employment, where there is an alb
sence of anything like nervous strain.
Baseball history is full of the wrecks
of star players who overtaxed their
strength in their desire for the al
mighty dollar, or, because no. being
qualified for any other employment,
jump at a chance to fill in the off sea-
son by playing ball in some more sa-
luxurious climate than prevails in the
North. At the present time the Ath-
letics and Detroit are filling the win
ter playing ball, the former on the
coast and the Tigers in Cuba. A team
of National league players is also trav-
cling with the Athletics in California,
playing exhibition games in towns
where there are no organized clubs.
Now, if these teams were composed
of substitutes or untried talent there
would be some excuse for the trip,
but when players like Eddie Collins,
Baker, Davis, Morgan, Plank, Bender,
Thomas, Moore. Mcbride and few
others take such journey it's wisdom
pap ba sartc1raITy nh
tive life OF the average player is at
best short, and 1t will be even shorter
if he does not conserve his strength
when he has the opportunity. To play
bah almost continually from early in
March until the first Of the year is
OVERRIDING It, and leaves too short a
period for the men to rest up before
they are called upon to get ready for
another championship season.
Face Many Changes.
1t is noticeable that players who have
made such trips in the past seldom If
everrepeat the experience. In addi-
ton to the liability of the men becom-
ing stale from o erwC-k, the chances
of injury are such as to make winter
baseball Of doubtful benefit. Then sup
pose that some of these tourists have
a bad year; should fall off in batting
or fielding. or the pitchers should be
off form, the natural inference would
be that the players had ruined them
selves by the overwork, and baseball
followers would make comparisons
that would not be altogether favorable
to those men who ran the risk in or
der that they might pick up a little
easy money. Winter baseball on the
cooperative plan is neither fair to
the public nor the clubs that employ
the players, and there is small wonder
that many of the club owners want
contracts to run for year instead of
the six months now in vogue Were
contracts made for a year the mag
mates would have a voice in what the
player did in the off season, and the
chances are that they would see that
he did nothing to mar his effectiveness
and usefulness for the time when
games won or lost counted for some
thing more than the mere monetary
return.

The United States government has
given its sanction to the race by pro-
