grounds in New York just before the
third Of the worlds championship
games between the New York giants
and the Philadelphia athletics.
Baseball fans throughout the coun-
try have been awaiting with interest
the selections Of the eleven prominent
baseball writers who constitute the
Chalmers trophy commission. These
men were selected by Chairman Rem
Milford, himself a pioneer baseball
writer, because it was the general be-
lief that no jury Of baseball critics
would be so competent to select the
best all-around ball players In the two
major leagues as the men who write
the stories of the games.
There may be some dissension
among the fans as to the choices made
by the Chalmers trophy commission.
but on the whole the selection of Cobb
and Schultz meets with the approval
Of the hundreds of thousands of fans
in the United States.
To Cobb goes the signal honor OF
having received the highest vote it
was possible for any one player to be
given. Cobb was the first choice OF
the eight men who voted for the best
all-around player in the American
league.
In the National league the selection
was considerably more difficult, since
a greater number of men In the Ma
tional were Of the calibre to win a
place among the baseball immortals.
For instance, the total vote for the
American league numbered twenty
three players. while thirty received
points In the National league vote.
Schultz was the first choice of the
National leaue commission, with a
total of twenty mine points. Christy
Matthewson of the giants, gave him
a close race for second, with twenty
five points. 1t viii be interesting to
see what criticism OF the selections
are made by the fans who have watch
ed the contest throughout the season.
The following is the official vote Of
the trophy commissioners, giving the
names Of each player who received a
vote, and the total number of points
received:

University of North Dakota football
team is not getting the practice worl,
that II had hoped for this week in
preparation for the game OF Saturday,

Olaf Refs is willing to meet Eskil
OLSON of Walum and take on OLSON
under any ordinary conditions. The
two wrestlers are about a pair as to
size and weight and should prove
good match.
An eastern prize fighter has just
been married for the eighth time. That
is not much. A Fargo heavyweight
courted several local girls for some
time before they ever knew he was
married. the pugilist having been
welded at sixteen.
The visit Of William ]. Orchard TO
Fargo now recalls to many the glori-
Gus days at the A. c. when Dobie had
those championship football teams.
Orchard now lives at Dickinson and
recalls with pleasure the time when
In Fargo he played on some of Dobie's
crack football and basketball teams.
Midoff and Lee Schrankel pulled Oft
one Of the best exhibition preliminary
goes a. few evenings ago that has ever
been seen in this section Of the coun-
try. 1t was almost worthy of being
the main bout in some contests and
was better than some Of the main box
ing matches that have been staged
here.
Evidently Coach Rueber is going to
spring some surprises for the big
games Of the football season for the
A. c. His order for secret practice
this early in the season is rather un-
usual, and indicates that the silent
professor of athletics at the A. c. has
something up his sleeve and does not
want anyone to see 1t when he let's
it out.
With Slingsby out of the lineup of
the Fargo college football team, the

! university at Mitchell. s. d. "Dago' is
the headiest player in the squad and
his injuries, although not permanent,
will mean big loss to the locals,
should he not be able to play in the
bigger games Of the season later
Big Perry, the Fargo wrestler, has
shown wonderful Improvement since
with Rocker last spring and was a
mere novice. However, his showing
against Kid johnson Of Duluth short
time ago stamps him as one of the
corners. He has lost a gread deal of
weight and is strong on the defense.
However, when working the offense he
does not seem to be able to secure
any good holds.
There is no doubt in the minds of
many Fargo boxing fans that Jack
Rhoades is a fighter. The fact that he
can take punishment such as he has
been known to swallow, is enough
evidence for the local enthusiasts to
believe that he is all the real, goods
and that there is no fake about him.
Thirteen rounds is about as good as
anyone has ever been able to put up
in the city recently. against Kossick-
and Rhoades was the boy who did it.

REACH SUPREME COURT
Coal Land Claims I'm Fair Way
for Adjudication.

Washington, May 1.-THE fight over
probably the richest coal lands in the
world was transferred today to the su
preme court of the United States when
the government docketed an appeal
from the order of the federal court Of
Washington quashing the so-called
''Stracey group indictment
Judge Hanford of the lower court
that under his Interpretation of the coal
land laws applicable to Alaska, the in
dictment had not stated an offense
The appeal from the decision will brins
before the supreme court the determina-
ton of the law under which Alaskan
coal land may be entered and sold.
The appeal involves the indictments
against Charles F. Munday, an attor-
ney of Seattle, Wash; Archie Shiels,
employed by AIgernon Stracey 1t does
not include that against Stracey, who
was indicted along with Munday,
Shiels and Siegley, but who was alb
sent when the others were arraigned.
1t was from the alleged interest of
Stracey and his brother, Sir Edward H
Stracey, an English baronet and Lib
eral member of parliament, in the land
that the name "Stracey group or
English group was given to the
claims.
The government charged in the in
d1ctment that Munday, ShieIs. Siegley
and Algernon Stracey entered into a
conspiracy to defraud the government
out of six thousand acres of coal land
valued at SO, 100000 just west of the So
called Cunningham coal land claims

Are Considering the Question of
Physical Valuation.
WITT ON THE CARPET.
States Expert Is Asked Many
Questions.
Engineers and Attorneys At
tend the Meeting.

Representatives from ten railroads
met with the state railroad board and
Carl C. Witt, it's new expert engineer,
today, to go over the proposition OF
taking the physical valuation of the
roads under the law of 1907: The rail-
road men present at the meeting were
engineers and attorneys. The meeting
was friendly. The railroad men agreed
to cooperate with the board in secur-
ing the valuation of the railroad prop
erty.
The work of securing the valuation
will begin as soon as the necessary
blanks are turned out of the state
printing office. These blanks are pat
termed after the form used in Michigan.

kota in the railroad valuation of these

the state board. is from North Dakota.
and went through the mill up there IL
this same work.
The railroad representatives will meet
with the board again in about two
weeks and agree on the plan under
which the work will proceed. The val
uation will be dated from June 80, 1911,
which is to say the valuation of the
roads on that date will be taken for
the basis of the first valuation in Kan
sas.
The engineers present at the meeting
asked many questions of Mr.. Witt re-
garding the plan of taking the valua-
ton and the methods to be applied.
They wanted to know just what Nj.
Witt wanted. The terms, passenger
mile,' and locomotive mile and other
technicalities were used more frequent
ly during the conference than plain
English.

TALK TANDY RECALL.
Rumor That Petitions Are to Be
Circulated.

AS a result of the war between Commits
sioner Tandy and other commissioners
opponents of that official have been insti-
eating a recall movement.
T. D. Humphreys, a Topeka lawyer, ad-
mitted today that he had been approach
ed by a number of Topeka business men
and citizens to draw up recall papers for
Commissioner Tandy.
Il have done all in my power to dis
courage them in this movement" said
Humphreys this afternoon. "They persist
in declaring that Tandy is not the man
for the place. The chief complaint is
the dirty condition of Kansas avenue and
other streets of the city.
Il talked with the mayor and he laugh
ed at the matter, saying it was foolish to
start out on such a venture and express
ing the hope that it was never made pub
lic.'
Humphreys refused to give out any of
the names of the alleged petitioners. He
said that the petition would be drawn up
Monday If he wasn't able to talk the anti
Tandy men out of it
noon Mr.. Tandy declared he had heard
nothing of the recall petition.
'I realize that L have plenty of enemies
and [ know they fought hard as they
could against me. in the last election, but
1 didn't know they were starting a thing
of this kind he said
But 1 don't ask Mr.. Humphreys or
anyone else to bother about discouraging
a petition of this kind"
Mayor Billiard said he had heard rumors
of this sort but he had taken all of them
as a joke.
There has also been talk of a recall of
Commissioner StottS.

Washington, May 11.-Country and
city were arrayed against each other
today at the Canadian reciprocity hear

tee The conflict was sharp. Farmers
from Minneapolis and North Dakota de-
nounced the agreement as iniquitous

P. V. Collins, editor of a farm paper
in the northwest, presented a protest
signed by 30, 900 farmers, 10000 of whom
reside in Minnesota.
Mr.. Collins declared that support of
reciprocity was due largely to misin-

and the weight of the heavy Pullman

srATUETTE PRESENT TO KING.
Fred Blaschke Has Horse Twenty
Three Inches High.

New York, May u--F'rederick Blaschke
the animal sculptor of the American
Museum of Natural History, has just
shipped a small equestrian statue, two
feet high, to King George of England as a
a coronation gift from Walter Winans
the American sportsman.
The statuette represents a woman dress
ed as a Spanish bull fighter, seated on
horseback and carrying fan instead of
the more deadly weapon, the lance.
The horse, modelled after one of Mr.
Winans' finest animals, is twenty-three
inches high and is so cleverly covered
with two pieces of the natural skin of a
dark chestnut horse that the sculptor de-
fies any one to detect the slightest in
congruity in the work.
