Tobogganng is fine sport--but not for

trip down the CREASED plank was taken
yesterday, and by that awful Norfolk
crowd. too. Two shut-outs in Two days

Looks about now as IL we needed a
few battcrs, u few pitchers and few
OF most anything TO help out for ILL
lie while.
Coming back to that cork centre ball
about which some of the fellows on the
"big papers have been writing. and to
which they have attributed all of the
heavy hitting which has been apparent
in the big league.the argument doesn't
seem to III in with the actual happen
ings For instance. the fact that the
cork centre. wrapped With rubber, gives
the ball Srea ter resiliency, and there
Their. may be true. and doubtless rs. But
Auditing that the new hall goes FUR
Their when hit, how will the scribcs ac-
count for the fact that the hall Is
actually being his oftcner. we have

now how will we account for the Iinnm-

and notice what a diminution has been
Bonng on in this direction. Hitting
the ball far is one thing, and hitting
IL often is another. The comeback
Will be that every contact with the
ball now is apt 10 be safe, whore with
the old ball, 1t would fall into a field

back TO that strike out feature and re-
member it. Also remember that by far
the most of the hitting has not been
for extra bases, but for singles, which
have been placed where the fieIders
amt You can't charge that to the
new ball.
Let's be fair about IT, Part OF the
heavy hitting may be duo to the new
ball. But another part is due TO poor
pitching. And still another part is
due to the fact that the pitchers have
not yet rounded into form. Ana still
another part Is due 10 the Ret that the
men have been trained more In the art
Of batting. While a large. very large,
part. is due 10 the fact that modern
pitchers. as did the pitchers of few
years ago. have about exhausted their
bag of tricks and must evolve some
new hall to fool the batsmen.

LAND AND wins
Homestead Fight in South
western Dakota Had
Peculiar Angles

Dickinson, N. D., Dec. 27.-Echoes
from an old fight for q North Dakota
homestead are heard in the decision
Of the department Of the interior by
which John B. Anderson gains pos
session of q splendid quarter section
Of land near New England. this
county. He made his fight for the
land against John Polchow.
Originally there were three men
fighting for the right to file on this
particular piece Of property. Carl N.
Gartner being the first to be van
quished. although he was the first Of
the trio to get on the land before it
was open to filing.
The fight between Polchow and An
derson was IN the question OF resi-
dence. Polchow had hauled stone for
a Gus and had done some breaking
on the land. but Anderson completed
his building and occupied 1t before
Polchow did, and because Of that fact
the department of the interior has
ruled favorably to him.
In another case John Hale has been
successful In upholding his right to a
valuable government homestead in
the same district. He was contested
by c. Bratten. who originally sold a
REIMBURSEMENT to Hale. but who. in
his contest action, commended that he
did not know he was signing away
his right to the land when he sold
REIMBURSEMENT. The depart
ment decided hat Bratten's rights in
the matter had been protected and
that Hale was entitled to the prop
erty on the showings made.

M|N01 PLANNING
A PARK SYSTEM
New Board Laying Prelimin-

Minot, n. D.. Dec. 27.-Park eX-
perts who ave been working On plans
for the identifying OF Minot have got
the plans We'll under way. and 1t be-
gins to look as if Minot were going
to be made into one of the most beau
tiful cities in the west.
J.. Wyman of Minneapolis. a park
expert. has been in consultation with
the members OF the park commission,
and he has submitted a detailed re-
port With drawings. showing the Local
ton of the PARIS, the construction of
boulevards and the identifying Of the
Mouse river which runs through the
heart of the city.
Briefly. the plan involves the loca-
ton of. our main parks. n to be
in the east part of town, pre-
on the north side, probably near the
North Ramstad normal school site:
one in the west end probably south
from Wildwood. and one on the south
mill.
There will be a boulevard circling
the city and leading from one park
to the other. This boulevard will go
from the park in Eastwood, across
the Great Northern tracks to the edge
NAL school site. thence south across
the Mouse river and 500 and Great
Northern tracks to Sixth street and
along the edge of the south hill.
across the 500 tracks to the point of
beginning in Eastwood park.
Another feature Of the plan is the
removal Of the Great Northern and
the o. dams in the Mouse river and
the construction Of a new dam near
the septic tank where the sewage
flows into the Mouse river. and the
making of the river into a beautiful
enamel for running launches and
boats from the park in the east end of
to that in the west end.
