American Leaguers.

Baker Of the Athletics is tearing,
numbering batsman. almost as frequent
hitter as Lord. and more on the long
range, cleanup pattern. He is not as
fast on the bases and has q good deal to
learn about the fine work In fielding the
position.
Tannehill Of the White Sox Is still
beautiful player when it comes to field
Ing the base-the equal of any one-but
has always been weak hitter. and is
growing no younger. Purtell. who bids
fair to cop the job from fanny, is
good hitter and fast fielder, but quite
way below the Lord or Devlin standard.
Bradley OF Cleveland, once a wonder
on the base and with the stick, Is a weak
batsman now. He can still field most
brilliantly, but Is outclassed In the bat
ting line. Perring, his alternate, is q
good second-rate player. not a star.
Moriarity OF the Tigers is an improving
player, good batsman, fast runner-a
man who will be up near the top within
another years gain in skill. Austin of
the Highlanders Is a fairly good young
performer, but certainly cannot be rated
as leading star, either as a batter or q
fielder.
Wallace will probably play the bag for
the Browns. Once a marvel on third
even better than at short-he Is growing
old and slowing up, hence can hardly be
counted as a competitor. Conroy of the
Senators Is ve,eran, fair-class per-
former, but no longer among the head
liners.
1t looks like Lord for the leading hon.
ors, all right, and he Is quite likely to
hold them through the season.

GREAT PROGRESS
MADE BY BASE BALL
Connie Mack Comments Upon
Changes Wrought in Re-
cent Years.

President kilfoyl of the Cleveland cluD
will lay aside business affairs at any
time to talk about the great upIift that
the game has been given in the past
decade; of the improvement in the per-
sonnet of the patronage: of the RELOCATION
of rowdyism, and of the practical disap-
pearance of the drinking player. writes
Elmer Bates in the Cleveland Leader
He has been a close student of the
game since his boyhood days. So. too.
has Connie Mack. the longheaded man
ager Of the Philadelphia Athletics.
Mack is taciturnity personified when
asked to compare the players of today
with those Of twenty years ago. Indeed,
there are but precious few topics assoc-
ated with the national game about which
the wise old fox will talk at all.
Ask Connie to compare the standard OF
the game as produced and patroniZed to-
day with the conditions obtaining when
he was a catcher for the old Pittsburg
club and even before that time Then
Connie will talk. and talk in a most in
teresting way.
Change in Patrons.
THE evolution of the game in the last
twenty years is more remarkable in point
of patronage than in the way it is
were marvellous players then and there
are marvellous players now.
1T was guessing contest between the
pitcher and batter in the days of Rad
bourne and of Arson. 1t is no less q
guessing contest in these days of Mullin
and Lajoie.
1T was a battle between the catcher
and base runner in the days of Ewing
and of Hamilton; 1t is still battle in
the days of Sullivan and Ty Cobb.
THE fan who believes there are no
Clarksons or kellys or Stoveys or Fer
gusons or Fogartys today is just as
firmly set in his belief as is the fan who
considers Iajoie. Mathewson, Joss, King.
Cobb and Crawford greater players than
We're in the game back in the eighties.
Rowdies Eliminated.
mo argument, no statistics can change
the opinion OF fan; then why attempt
1t? Let's talk about something we can
all agree on, and that is that the per-
centage of desirable patrons attending
the games today is vastly larger than it
was twenty or twenty-five years ago, and
that rowdyism on the diamond has been
so completely eliminated as to be almost
an unknown factor today
THE advent of clean BALI which
marked the organization of the Amer
lean League undoubtedly drove from the
games support a good many people.
There were times in the old days when
there were almost as many rowdies as
there were decent people in the stands.
Sometimes when i used TO come here with
the old Pittsburg club l thought that
the people in the stands were all row
dies, so bitterly did they assail US. 1t
wasn't any different here than II was
in other cities that was the spirit or
the day. Visiting players were looked
kupon as a lot of enemies. who had no
right in the town. Probably half OF the
spectators had money bet on the game.
If they won they yelled with glee; IL they
lost they snarled

National Stars.

Sweeney and Getz Of the Boston Ma
tionals cannot class anywhere near Lord
he won't get any opposition in his own
town. Brooklyn, with Lennox, shows a
remarkably strong player, who may take
the topnotch laurels in year or two.
Lennox is a strong batsman and plays
third In style that Is as perfect, me-
cnanically, as any one can display.
Steinfeldt of the Cubs comes Just a
little short of Devlin In batting. base
running and territory covered. Steiny is
aging, but is still a wholly competent
man and far from the has-been division.
Lobert Of the Reds, when in proper
form, is a good, husky third baseman and
better batsman than Devlin, but was
way off last season. Eddie Grant Of the
Quakers Is steadily gaining In all de-
partments and was but the shortest
shade under Devlin's strength last year.
The champion Pirates now use Bobby
Byrne on third-a midget who does his
best. but Is not to be considered a top
notcher. Bresnahan has Barbeau and
Mowrey. OF these, Barbeau Is even
smaller than Byrne and hardly as eff
cient MOwrey is an unfortunate player
who is growing old in big league uni
forms, yet without having q really fair
chance to show whether he is winner
or dub.
Devlin, therefore. may be rated as the
star OF the National League, with Grant
faint shade below him.

IS HARRY LORD THE
KING Of THIRD BASE?
Careful Review by Billy Phe.
lon Gives Him That Gov
eted Distinction.
By W. A. Phelon.

"Who is the best third baseman in the
big leagues?" Is a question that has been
much debated through the winter. and
the debate, In fact. has been one of ex-
treme keenness ever since those pastmas-
ters Collins and Cross passed out Of the
fast company. Bill Bradley, who would
have been a strong candidate, has fallen
away Of late. especially In batting. and
Tommy Leach. another corker on the
farther sack. now plays the outfield. The
best man in the third base game today
Is hard to choose, and every candidate
has partisans who back him strongly, but
I believe, taking all things into considera-
ton, that Harry Lord of the Boston Reds
classes as the topliner of the present day.
Arthur Devlin is counted by many fans.
especially New Workers.. as the leader. He
has been q wonder in his day and Is still
a star. but Lord Is the stronger player
as a batsman and a base runner. while
there Is little II anything to choose be-
tween them In fielding the position. Lord
therefore. outranks Devlin in net value
to a team-and where. outside of Devlin,
has he fit competitor?

and the decrease in the amount on
passage to the United Kingdom, and
values during the morning showed an
advance of % to y. Toward midday
some selling to realize developed and
prices reacted from the high, losing a

the man alleged to be the assailant of
Fossum.)
Returning from the Jail. the witness
said that Louis Dahl, the man in. iail
was the man who attacked Fossun
and dragged him out on the saloon
hoor and threw him face downwards
on the floor with considerable force.
Fossum did not utter a word or cry
out. A minute later Dahl picked the
PROSTATE man up and told him to
stand up. Witness from a small table
at the side of the saloon saw the in
jured man taken to back room.
After the occurrence the witness
Thomas said he went over to Fargo
to get his mail and about two hours
afterward met Fossum about midway
across the south bridge, being led by
another man. Witness stopped the men
and lifted the cloth over Fossum's face
to see how badly he had been hurt. II
don't think he could have walked
alone" said Thomas.
Replying to a question by Mr. Dos
land, the witness Thomas answered,
"As far as / could see / don't think
Dahl struck Fossum at ALL"
Otto Royter, bartender, said he
was on duty at the time of the oc-
currence on the date in question He
did not see what occurred in the toilel
room. He was behind the bar and
stationed at the far end from the toilet
room. Witness described, as far as he
could see from his place behind the
bar, what occurred on the floor and
told of the assistance rendered to Fos-
sum and that he applied some settler
water to his face. Later in the after
noon witness saw Fossum walking out
of the building.

on Front street, Fargo. The patient
was the deceased, who was then con-
scious. The witness said that Fossum

had happened to him or where.

STEAM HEAT WILL
not BE SHUT OFF
REJOICING IN DOWNTOWN BusI-
NESS DISTRICT TODAY BECAUSE
OF ANNOUNCEMENT RY HEAT
COMPANY THAT REPAIRS WILL
NOT NEcEssITATE MOVE.

The Union Light, Heat & Power Co.
will not shut off the heat from its
patrons for a period of three weeks, as
was announced, would be necessary,
by the company several weeks ago.
Some time ago the Union Light, Heat
& Power Co, sent our notices to all
it's patrons to whom 1t supplied heat,
telling of the necessit. of laying new
heating mains and pipes in the down
town district. The announcement
caused CONSERVATION to the users of
the company's steam heat as the vari-
GUS cold snaps that have been pre-
vaient have already made the use of
the steam a necessity
Manager Kahn therefore set about
devising a better plan for the benefit
of his customers.
The problem has finally been solved
and in few days the men will lay a
line of temporary mains throughout all
the district to be reraired by the com
pany. This will necessitate the shut
ting off of the steam for only an
hour during the day at which time the
connections of the pipes will be made.
Instead of using exhaust steam as
heretofore the company will force live
steam through these pipes which will
give greater heat The new plan to
be brought about will be a large it am
Of expense to the heating company, but
1t is done that the patrons might have
the best possible service.
The men to take charge of the lay

Of the workers are expected in any
time and as soon as these arrive work
will be commenced promptly in placing

FARGO LAWYERS
ENDORSE JUOGT !
FISK, ELLSWORTH AND COOLEY
ENDORSED BY EXECUTIVE CON.
MlTTEE or FARGO BAR Associ-
ATloN--sTATEMENT is ISSUED
BY MONTGOMERY.

The executive committee OF the Fargo
Bar association held meeting Sat-
urday afternoon in the offices Of j A.
Montgomery, clerk Of United States
court in the federal building, for the
purpose of endorsing candidates for
the Offices Of the state supreme court.
These endorsed at the netting were
Judge G. j. Fisk, Judge s. e. Ellis
worth and c. M. Cooley, who are en-
dorsed by the attorneys as possessing
the superior qualifications which fit
them for the offices they seek.
In speaking Of the meeting today.
MFR Montgomery said to The Forum:
THE lawyers of the state have been
justly criticized because of their hesi-
fancy to give to the electors through
the newspapers an expression OF their
views upon the qualifications OF the
six candidates for the supreme court.
Action was deferred until over 100
lawyers of standing had signified their
willingness to stand up and be count
ed and the following endorsement had
beein signed by that number.
The endorsement issued by the COM
mittee reads:
"Of the six men who were nominal
ted at the recent primary under the
nonpartisan Judiciary act as eandi-
dates for the office Of judges of the
supreme court, it is our opinion, as
lawyers, that Judge c. ]. Fisk, Judge
S. E. Ellsworth and c. M. Cooley
possess the superior qualifications and
that the interests of the state will be
best served, and the high standing of
the court viii be best maintained, by
their election. We therefore tender
also recommend them to the elevators
of the state as most deserving of their
suffrage at the coming November
election
This committee of 100 has organized
by electing Hon. Guy G. H. Corliss as
chairman and j. A. Montgomery as
secretary, and appointed an executive
committee composed of the following
Well known lawyers: A. G. Divet of
chairman. ID. B. Holt of
Fargo, JEFF M. Myers of Grafton. f. III.
Register of Bismarck. B. w. Shaw of
and Arthur lie Sueur of Minot.
The bar association of the state.
continued Mr.. Montgomery, "of course
cannot take action OF a semi political
character, so 1t became necessary for
an organization to be effected by law
yers independent of it."
