Chattanoo- ga; and April G. Knoxville. The rest of this trip is not yet decided upon, but will probably be arranged before the end of the week.

 Former President Trout of the Ian caster baseball clubs, gives up his position with great satisfaction. He landed pennant, got the club out of debt and placed a little change in front of the owners.
 According to a report from Kansas City, John Kling. the king of catchers and one of the few baseball stars who ever really "held out,'' is in a recep- tive mood and wants to play again this year, even with the Chicago Cubs, if necessary.

Active training for a sea- son of fair interest and prospects will begin at once. It is now probable that the last race of the season will be with Syracuse and will be on either May 14 or 21.
 From Providence comes a wild yarn that a new baseball organization to be called the United States league, will soon be launched, and that the circuit will embrace Boston, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Providence, Baltimore Paterson. Newark and Trenton. The rather amusing information is added that three members of the Cuban Giants, a Well-knoWn colored ball team, have been signed for the new Providence club. A person who says his name is Dr. G. H. Lawson is the promoter of the scheme. Any rela- tion to Al Lawson who has failed with numerous wildcat ventures of this kind?

CAN LICK WELSH.
Packey Will Get Him This Time
 Britisher Can't Hit Hard.

Packey Mcfarland, the Chicago light weight, sailed away to England the other day for the expressed purpose of meeting Freddie Welsh, the British lightweight champion. Before leav- Rg he jolted Welsh a few verbally, thusly:
 T can beat Welsh as sure as you're standing there" said Packey, to his friends who went to the pier to see him off. "He can't hit hard enough to dent a ball of butter. I fought him twice and know him like a book The first time was in a ten round bout at Milwaukee, which I won on points. I knocked him down in the eighth round with a stomach punch, and he yelled Murder Watchi' He said he had been fouled, but it was a joke. He wanted to quit Yes, he cut my eye open in that affair, but it was with the seam of the glove when, after missing an uppercut he chopped me with the same hand, blow that should have disqualified him.
 "The 25-round draw? Well, l can only say that it was my own fault that I did not put him away that time. l dropped him twice, but didn't get un- der full headway until it was too late. ter with my eyes near the end of the fight. which Jim Jeffr1es called draw. Next day I couldn't read the account of the fight in the newspapers, but I soon learned that one of Welsh's seconds before the fight had put belladonna on F'reddie's gloves and that's what ailed my eyes. But I'm going to square accounts with Welsh in London"

DAHLEN HARD TO TAG.
More Dangerous on the Paths Than
 Cobb, Says Tinker.

Ty Cobb slides into the bag with great force according to the state ments of Joe Tinker, shortstop of the Chicago Cubs. but he is not the most dangerous man on the paths. says the Windy City player. He says:
 T hear a lot about Cobb cutting down infielders getting around the bases. Why didn't he spike me when he had a chance in the worlds cham nionship series of 1907 and 1908 |? Simply because I know a base run ner's rights and stay in my place.
 Cobb slides hard and a baseman ought to know enough to give him room. No one in the world slides as hard as Frank Chance, but he never spikes any one, because basemen know him and clear the track. In some of the games of our worlds se- ries with Detroit Cobb slid into first and second so hard that he tore the bags out of place. but we didn't get hurt, and we didn't give him any more room than was coming to him, either.
 Cobb is a hard man to tag, but he isn't half as elusive as Bill Dahlen, whom I consider the best slider in the game. You must have a magni- flying glass to find enough of Bill to lay your hand on when he comes in."

MURPHY AND COLLINS MATCHED
Handicap Match in WilIimantic-Dan Is to Throw Bill Once in an Hour.

Bill Collins and Jack McGrath, the latter manager for Dan Murphy signed articles at The Bulletin office Friday night and posted a forfeit and sidebet of S25 each for a handicap wrestling match, between Dan Mur- phy and Collins in which Dan agrees to throw Collins once in an hour, catch as catch can, stranglehold barred. The bout is to be put on before the Wind ham Athletic club on Friday, January 21, the wrestlers getting 75 per cent. of the gate receipts. which is to be split 50 per cent. to the winner and 25 per cent. to the loser
 The selection of the referee is left to the club. subject to the approval of the principals twenty-four hours before the men go upon the mat. AS the men have met once before in a handicap match, which was won by Collins because Murphy could not throw him twice in an hour, the com ing bout should be a. big card to all the friends of the two wrestlers.

CONNIE CANS TEN.
Pube Vickers Back to the Minors Pete Noonan With Him to Baltimore.

Midwinter baseball ''guillotining" had big day in the Philadelphia offices of the Athletics at Shibe park, this week, Connie Mack, the crafty leader of the American league team, cutting down his baseball squad ten men. Eight of the would-be Athletics whose baseball heads were severed had never played in Philadelphia, the only real mem bers of the Athletics being the elongat- ed Rube Vickers and Noonan, who were sold outright to Jack Dunn of the Baltimore club of the Eastern league.
 With Vickers and Noonan will go to Baltimore Pitcher Mallow, secured from the Wilkes-Barre club of the New York State league.
 Others who were clipped off the Athletics roster were small league timber, who have not fully developed. They are De Haven and Seitz. out helders; Hornhorft, a first sacker. who will go to Atlanta of the Southern league; Tanning and Ha1lman, pitch CTS, who will wear Kansas City uni forms: Scanlan, an infielder, who is sent to Memphis, and Wares, who will go to the coast with Harry Wolver- ton. manager of the Oakland club.
 Not Standing Pat.
 While this cuts ten from the squad, Connie Mack is not by any means standing pat on the playing material he has at hand. but is still angling for likely material He signed two young pitchers Wednesday of whom he heard good reports They are Tanker, a right-hander, who has done good work on independent teams in and around Slatington, Pa, and a newcomer named Hummer, whom Connie says is good. Hummer is over six feet tall and is a right-hander. This pair will be taken south son the spring trip and will be given a thorough trying out.
 Rube Vickers' Passing.
 The passing of Rube Vickers was not entirely unexpected. Rube has been with the Athletics on and off for five years. He did great work several seasons past in the Connecticut State league. That is where Connie Mack first saw him. From the New England circuit he went to the coast and was a star out there. Mack then brought him to the Athletics Rube's trips to the minors since that time have been frequent, he having been farmed out caSionS Rube was of little help to the Athletics last season. Possibly he did not get the opportunity because the other pitchers were working so well.
 It now looks as though this excur- sion to the minors is Rube's last trip, unless he shows surprising form.
 Noonan First Stacker.
 Pete Noonan, who ~oes to Balti- more with Vickers, is. a first sacker. NoOnan played with Wilkes Barre last season. and was once member of on the Holy Cross team when Andy Coakley, who once worked for Mack, was a college pitcher. Noonan is a fair hitter.

PRIZE HARD-LUcK ARTIST.
That's Mickey Finn-New Owner of

Says the Atlanta Journal of MT. Finn the new owner of the Waterbury outfit:
 "As the-prize hard-Iuck artist of the universe, Sir Mickey Finn of Little Rock can make a stevedore's annual ball look like a funeral in the potters' field on a windy day in February. Ever since the season of 1901 he has piloted the destinies of ball teams from Little Rock under the most discour- aging circumstances ever before en- countered by mortal man in this pol luted world. And now. after having met and mastered terrors that would have chuclzed fire and birthstone to the discards, he has been put out of commission, at one fell swoop of the politics of baseball. Such are the pen alties of fame! But, anyway, if you can equal Mikes record as the gent 'agin de rail- I will pay the expenses. Mike worked like a Trojan season and out of season for the Little Rock club. But no use.

TO WORK ON CUTOFF
Those in Charge of Machinery Be.
IeVs That II Will Begin Again
About March 1.

Hannaford Enterprise: 1t is re-
ported that crew of men will be here
about March 1. to get things in readi-
ness to start work on the Great
Northern cutoff again as soon as the
weather in the spring will allow work
TO commence. Such at least is the be-
lief of the men looking after the
machinery and other railroad proper
ty which Is left at various points
along the line. Another indication
that is was the intention TO resume
work in the spring when wrok was
left off last summer. is the fact that
none of the machinery was removed
but everything remains ready to start
in again as soon as the condition OF
the ground permits. Now that the po-
litical atmosphere is cleared for an
other two years, and by spring an
other. and 1t is to be hoped a better
crop will be looked forward to. and
with brighter prospect in view, rail-
road activity. as well as all other BUSH
ness and industries will resume their
former state of prosperity, and the
business depression OF 1910 viii be. a
memory only.

at Fargo College This

ject was Human Conservation. 1--WE
hear much of the conservation OF
natural resources" said Mrs. May
nard, "but nothing is as important as
the conservation Of the human race
Several causes that undermine our
present civilization, such as child la
bor tuberculosis and improper diet,
were taken up. Mrs. Maynard said
some pretty strong things against the
double windows Of the houses of this
part of the country She is a strong
advocate of fresh air.
The rest of her talk was devoted to
diet and the result upon the mortality
Of the race from its abuse. She said
she sometimes delivers an address she
calls A Knife and Fork Suicide. In
her opinion a large amount of the
physical troubles arise from imperfect
eating. ITO eat three hearty meals
as one gets at hotel is sure suicide"

Mrs. Maynard emphasized the truth
that if the system is right IL will defy
all germs She also spoke against the

time, and against doubling up on the
starches. In conclusion she advised
