EX-FARGO PLAYER
BECOMES Big imp

New York Feb, S.--John J. McGraw,
manager of the giants, announced yes
terday that c. L. Hansell would &C
company mis- team to Marlin Springs,
Tex, to act as umpire in preliminary
and exhibition games during the train
ing trip or the city champions Han
sell will sail with the first squad Of
giants on the Proteus, leaving New
York for New Orleans at noon, Feb.
IL. Until seven years ago Hansell
was we'll known player and manager
of minor league teams. He is an old
PITCHER, who served his apprenticeship
in Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Lincoln,
Fargo and Duluth of the northwestern
states. He played with McGraw on
the Cedar Rapids club. Hansell made
a hit with McGraw by his work IN
exhibition games at the Polo grounds
last spring.
The selection Of an umpire for train
ing purposes is an innovation in Dig
league baseball. dcGraw believes it
Win be a great boon McGraw has IL
avs engendered the keerest rivalry
between his first and second teams. So
successful has been the work of the
manager along these lines that last
season much bitterness was expert
fenced. 1t is to retain absolute har-
money, as well as rivalry, that dis
intere sted official has been engaged.

WATKINS Sees
IMPROVEMENT

"The men are working hard and are
showing improvement" said Coach
watkins of Fargo college today in
speaking of the prospects of his team
in the big basketball game Saturday
night
He continued: Injuries and -schol-
arshlp difficulties have made 1t impos-
sible to turn out any one team. The
men are green, and l have had to play
them in number of different posi-
tions to test their ability. The players
do not possess the quality that should
like to see in varsity lineup repre-
senting Fargo college.
However, every man on the squad
has the fighting ability and proper pep
to carry off his share of the honors.
They will make the A. G., play hard
for a victory and I expect that the Far
go quintet will give a good account of
themselves in the game Saturday
night"
The director of athletics Of the "col-
lege on the hill' will continue to coach
his men throughout the remainder of
the week, in a manner that will make
them put up their best front against
the AgEies Followers of the Fargo
aggregation are confident that the
bunch will give the A. G.. tossers a run
for their money.
The team this year has been without
a permanent leader all season. Forth,
the captain OF the Fargo five, has been
laid UP with badly injured knee,
and has been absent from school a
great part of the time. During his alb
sence H Haggart has lead the gold
and purple quintet.
1t was hoped that the Fargo team
would have a power of strength in
Fortin and his loss is keenly felt by
the supporters of the team. Boise,
however, has been brought out Won
derfully under the directions Of Coach
Watkins and is one of the headiest
players, IL not the best moving
tossers, in the Fargo college lineup.
He will undoubtedly serve his team
we'll on the defense.
The Fargo college is going into the
game to win, by any fair means pos
sible. The players have been coached
well, and the only regret is, that the
men are not now in the pink of con-
dition. Coach Watkins has acted wise
ly in not predicting victory over the
Aggies, but simply coaching the
preachers never to give up.
The church school players have the
staying ability and will make fight
for the honors of the contest, until the
last blast of the whistle. The char
acter of the athletes of the smaller
school has always been demonstrated
as one OF unrelentlessness, and the A.
c. quintet will be compelled to put its
best front, If it expects to defeat the
Fargo college players.
Fandom has favored the A. c. on
dope, and for this very reason the Far
go players will make a strong bid for
the big end of the score. The team
that represents the Fargo college next
Saturday night will no doubt be a
credit to the institution and put up one
of the strongest contests that the A. G.
quintet has had to reckon with this
season.

RACING Resumed.

Juarez, Feb. s.--Racing was resumed
at Terraza's park yesterday. The
weather was Summertime and a big
crowd turned out The feature of tho
card was the Zavatecas handicap,
seven furlongs and resulted in a very
easy victory for the favorite, Round
the World. She took the lead and was
never fully extended to win by two
lengths in the fast time of 1:25 1-5.
Injury ran second. the saddle slipping
in the last sixteenth and the boy had
to stop riding. Jockey Garner made
lis appearance today, but was not sue :
Cessful.

How the Coaches Feel on
Eve Of Big Battle Of Year
Fargo College and the A. c. Have Only One Theme This
Week---HIs the Coming Basketball Same Between
the Two Rivals, Saturday Night
REUBER'S MEN
IN POOR SHAPE

GAS far as the game Saturday night
Is concerned, / will say that the A. G.
men are in mighty poor condition. Not
a man on the squad has the necessary
pep to play his standard game" said
Coach Reuber in speaking of the big
contest which is to come off Saturday
night at the A. c. armory between the
aggies and the Fargo college quintet.
The rivalry of these two teams, for
several years, has been almost at the
breaking point and when they come
together it will undoubtedly be for
blood.
The aggies at present are not in
very good condition and three of the
regulars were out of last weeks game
on account of sickness Captain Oar
row has been under the weather for
some time and is in poor condition to
do any work. Darrow is speedy lit
tie man and covers, perhaps, more
of the floor in a game than any man
in the state. He is heady and Is in
the game all of the time and does
the work exceedingly wen as captain
and guard.
Leslie Wheeler who was also out
VI tue 6dAnS ldSI WEEh Ull d1G00hA VI
sickness, was out to practice this aft
ernoon and will be in good condition
Saturday night. Wheeler Is a fast
man and he does his share of the
work when 1t comes to shooting bas-
kets and covering the floor. He has
starred in every game this season and
Is the pivot around which Coach
Reuben has built his plays.
AS a forward, Arthur Bridge has no
equal in the state. He knows the
game, is speedy and shoots field bas-
kets from almost every position on the
floor. Bridge has been on the sick
list for the past few days but will
probably be in condition to play his
usual star game Saturday.
1t is very doubtful If Clark will
be in the lineup against the preachers
and he will leave a vacancy that will
be hard to fill. He was not able to
play in last weeks game and If he
had the score would have been different
as he is a fiend for scoring field bas-
kets.
Scott Drummond is one man in the
aggie lineup that is in condition to
play a hard game. Scott is a steady
guard and can always be depended
upon to play an excellent game. He
guards closely and does his share of
the work in covering floor Crafthefer,
Nolet and McConn are men who are
giving the regulars a hard run for
their positions Crafthefer Is tall.
well qualified for the pivot position.
Nolet and McConn are both speedy
men and have starred in the games
that they have been in this season.

JOHNSON CRANGEABLE?

Chicago. Feb. s.--John Johnson, the
champion pugilist, changed the hue of
his political hide so completely at a
First ward mass meeting yesterday
that his own mother wouldn't have
known him. The last time the electors
of Chicago were enlightened on the
issues of the day by Johnson he was a
rip-roaring republican. That was last
wear In the Second ward, when he
advocated the candidacy of Edward
Wright for. alderman.
Yesterday he flashed before the yot-
ers of the First ward as rampant
democrat, regular organization"
man, burning with indignation against
such traitors" and "interlopers' as
Garter II. Harrison, and consumed
with zeal for regular candidates like
Andrew Graham for mayor and Col.
Leopold Moss, candidate for alderman
against eHinky Dink."
Jnhnsons address was the event Of
Yesterdays gathering, In spite Of the
fact that the programme named q
GALAXY oa forensic stars.

THINKS JEFF"
THE ONLY MAN

Chicago, Feb. Slim Jeffries is the
only fighter in the world today who
has chance with Johnson"
This was the startling statement
made yesterday by Tex Richard, pro-
moter and referee of the Reno bout
which gave JEFF his defeat The
western promoter is paying Chicago a
brief visit en- route east.
Is Through With Game.
After making this declaration, Tex
announced that he was through with
the fight game for the present any
how, and that he was on his way to
South America where he will investi-
gate some mining propositions which
have been brought to his attention.
II am not promoting fights now and
rever have made sny direct offer to
rematch Jeffries end johnson" con-
Tinued Tex 81 did say, however, thar
would promote another bout between
ire principals of the Reno fight If
Jeffries would go into the mountains
end get himself back in shape. 1 know
the big boilermaker was not right
when he fought at Reno, but you can
say once and for all that he was not
COPIED. He was weak from sickness
end was entertained I think that lie
can get back in shape, but doubt If
he'll care to undertake another train
ing seige.
Purse Money Is Scarce.
81 would not care to promote any
ether fight at present, as there is 10
bout that would draw more than $25,-
600, as Nevada is the only place where
I. long battle could be pulled off.
'T would not care to take charge of
Kaufman johnson contest under any
conditions"
Richard leaves tomorrow for New
York. whence he sails Feb. is for

Match Game Of Checkers

Hold Quigley and Eb Hoover had :
turrible exciting game of checkers down
to Hen Weathersby's store tother day.
Hold claims to be the champion checker
player of Bingville, but Eh told Hold he
thort he could teach him a trick or two
about the game, and so they set down
to play at p. m. When 9 o'clock come
around they had two kings apiece and
neither couldn't seem to corner tother.
Hen Weathersby told EN- to hurry up
and finish the game being as it was time
to close the store and he didn't calki-
late to keep the place open all night to
play checkers in, but they as was pres
ent prevailed on him to give Hold and
Eb time to finish the game, being as it
was for the championship, as you might
say.
Well, they fddled and fooled and
moved backwards and forwards until II
o'clock come around. 1t was Hod's
move, but he had been studying for
half hour or more where to move to,
but he couldn't seem to make up his
mind Meanwhile Eb, whose reglar bed
time is half past eight, had dropped of
to sleep with his chin on his chest, un-
beknownst to anybuddy present, and Jest
as Hold was agoing to move Eb lost his
balance and fell often his chair to the
floor, upsettin the checker board and
spillin the checkers, to the deep disgust
of everybuddy present, becuz they
couldn't agree among themselves where
the checkers was before the board was
upset, and so the game couldn't be FIN
ished and there's no telling who might
have won. Hold says he had Eb licked
and Eb says he had Hold licked, and as
a result another game will have to be
played Hen Weathersby says it won't
be played in his store, being as he amt
going to set up half the night and lose
sleep in order to find out who is the
champion checker player of Bingville.

Ras Slocomb and his wife had a
fiare-up last week about something or
other and as a result they amt on
speaking terms. Ras wears bump on
his head where his wife hit him with
the floor mop. When Ras and his wife
have trouble we have always noticed
that Ras generally gets the worst of it.
Hank Dewberry says he feels more
useless and good for nothin than usual,
if that is possible Hank thinks he is
suffering from a attack of spring fever,
which generally seems to begin each
spring and lasts the whole year around.
Mrs. Alb Skinner sold Hen Weathers-
by a doz of eggs recent, two of which
had double yolks in EN-, but Mrs. Skin
ner didn't know this until after Hen
had paid her for the eggs, then she
wanted a cent extra for each double
yolked egg, but Hen wouldn't give it to
her, and as result Mrs. Skinner says
that hereafter she will market her eggs
at the Co. seat
