CHIVINGTON IS
The A. A. Head

Chicago, Jan. 12.-Tom Chivington
was elected president, secretary and
treasurer of the American Association
of Baseball clubs late yesterday, his
term of service being fixed at one
year.
VIM. R. Armour of Toledo, o., was
made vice president for the same peri
3D.
President Chivington, in addition to
being elected, was appointed commit
tee of one to draft a schedule Of 1913
games for next season with two stipu-
lations. That the season should start
April. IL and that no double headers
should be scheduled. Postponed
games may be doubled later in the
season, but none of these will be on
schedule. He later was instructed to
arrange that teams make four trips
around the circuit, instead of three.
The presence of Hughie Jennings,
manager of the Detroit American lea
que club at the meeting caused a re-
port that the Milwaukee club was after
Tom Jones, first baseman for the De-
troit team. The report was not con-
firmed by Jennings, however, who is
on his way to California with his
bride.

lasted just sixty seconds. Ross got
his hands on his fathers shoulder and
tried for another hold But the older
man ducked, broke through his guard
and caught his son about the waist.
Ross feet went out from under and
he was on his back in another second.
There was a three minute rest and
then the second struggle. This time the
young man caught his father about
the waist, but the elder man held his
ground, and for ten minutes they
scuffled I'D the lawn all the way be-
tween the cistern and the woodshed.
Then Ross got a leg hold and down
went the father.
From that time IL was only a ques-
ton of endurance. Bower senior was
blowing hard as he tried for a lower
hold for the third fall. For twelve
minutes they painted and tugged, and
then finally they both tripped and down
they went for the last time.
Bower is an active, out door man,
who always has been very chummy
with his boys. He weighs 22O pounds
When he retired from the farm he
moved to town right across the street
from the Ottawa university campus,
so that the boys would be handy to
college. Ross is junior at the uni
versity and for three years has played

new BLOOD IN
CHICAGO CUBS

Chicago, Jan. 13.-That Manager
Frank Chance of the Chicago cubs is
preparing to apply new blood in large
quantities to the famous west side
machine in the event the old stars do
not show the proper form early in the
coming season is the opinion of Chi
cago fans.
Thus far twelve minor league stars
of the highest caliber have been signed.
Six inflelders, five pitchers and one
catcher are in the list. Manager Chance
has George Huff, Cub Scott, lining up
all likely looking inf1elders, especially
which indicates he is trying to land
a man to fill Steinfieldt's place at third
in case the veteran fails to come to
form.
Three minor league shortstops, said
to be the best variety obtainable,
have been signed to make Joe Tinker
hustle for his job. One of the recruits,
Harry Ball, Lansing, Mich, looks I'M
usually good on paper, having scored
III runs on lao games and having a
batting average of 800.

is IT NOT TINE
FOR n. D. TO BEGIN?
COLLEGES OF NORTH DAKOTA
ARE PLAYING BEHIND THE
TIMES-oNE COACH TELLS THE
REASON WHY SUCH A coNDl-
TON EXISTS IN N. D.

Athletics are too primitive in North
Dakota colleges for the institutions to
play their games up to the standard
and especially to play basketball un-
der the regular intercollegiate rules, u
were the words spoken recently by a
well known athletic director of one of
North Dakota's institutions of higher
learning.
Is it true?
Assuming that it is true why then
should not the colleges of the state
join the university phalanx and move
ahead. Enter all collegiate affairs in
their proper sphere and above all use
the regular intercollegiate rules to
govern contests.
Again taking the other side and con-
tradicting the we'll known athletes
version of the situation and then where
lido you stand? Then ask yourself the
reason why the North Dakota colleges
are dropping behind American uni
versity athletic standard and are to-
day playing basketball under the A. A.
u. rules.
These two questions confront the
colleges of the state and until they
place their athletics on the par with
some of the schools in Minnesota and
all the schools of the east and middle
west they will continue to be a back
number.
Take collegiate basketball as an ex-
ample. The intercollegiate rules are
made for the college man and are adj
justed for the college game. They are
much faster than the A. A. u. rules
and require cooler head. These two
things are what the college man is
noted for, and if he does not get these,
then there is something radically
wrong
Here is set of rules that Is the
standard for the great majority of the
colleges in America and so recognized.
They are the intercollegiate basketball
rules for all the leading universities in
the athletic world, yet the institutions
of North Dakota are fighting for a
place of recognition in college athletics,
while the University of Minnesota has
such a place.
The difference is that the University
Of Minnesota has adopted the inter
collegiate rules and North Dakota has
not, nor do the institutions in the state
seem inclined to do so

some Draw lad himself, heard about
the young mans talk and decided it
was time to uphold the dignity Of the
house, when young Ross began to in
sinuate that he could put the ''old
man" on his back. So he suggested a
wrestling match and soon gained the
fall.
Now" he said to his son, "Tll
wrestle you every year on your birth
day, till you're able to down me-"
That was i've years ago, and Father
Bower has won the match four times.
