GORE WATCHES" FLIGHTS
Complains That .Aeroplanc Conflicts
With Baseball, Which He Also
Wanted to Sec"

Since the illness of Francis ].
Heney and the postponement of the
opening of the peoples lecture course
to November 80. when Senator Thomas
P. Gore will speak. makes the words
of W. S. Couch regarding Senator. and
Mrs. Gore particularly interesting at
this time. He says: Most interested
of all the statesmen watching the
Wright brothers near Washington, was
blind Senator Gore of Oklahoma.
Watching was the word he used. He
complained, too. that the flights con-
flicted with the baseball games which
he wanted to see"
1t illustrates the extent to which this
blind ma has developed a sixth sense.
A word in his car enables him to re-
construct the picture or scene before
him as a ~scientis builds an extinct ami
NAL from a fossil tooth. Mrs. Gore.
the senator's devoted wife. is usually
at his side to supply the word.
Through her eyes he saw" tho aero
plane. Through her eyes he. reads"
the newspapers. law. literature. and
political economy.
H is n of the youngest members
of the United States senate and one
of its prominent members and ableet
debaters while still in his thirty ninth
year. He achieved this himself. His
afliction brings him some helpful con-
sideraticn, some unusual attention.
doubtless. but he. neither needs nor
asks for favors on. account of IT.
Born in Mississippi. in a family of
moderate circumstances. Senator Gore
lost his eycsight through a hoyhood
accident. AS the light gradually fad
ed he called up every bit of grit in
his system to meet the appalling stu.
alton. He did not let his affiliction in
terrupt his school work for a day. In
school his fellow students read the
text book pages to him once. and he
listened to the lectures. One hearing
sufficient. Al 26 he was practic-
ing law in Texas. lie was able. at 80.
to mary Miss Nina Kay. Texas girl.
His experience had been that OF the
average young lawyer. When: at 81.
he moved to Oklahoma. the. young
man found his element. The territory
was in process OF becoming a state
and politics fairly hummed. One night
William Jennings Bryan vas late for
speech at Muskogee and a man
named Gore was put up at s o'clock
to hold the crowd. At midnight Gore
was still holding that crowd. which
had all hut forgotten Bryan.
In person Senator Gore is of med
ium height. broad shoulders n we'll
built. with a plump. youthful face and
hair. When he: speaks lie has
a trick Of holding a bit of paper in
his hand. which he seems to consult.
Glad to see you.' is hts greeting.

The Grand Forks Kennel club is
making plans at the present time to
become affiliated with the American
Kennel club of New York city. which
Is an association of the dog fanciers
Of the, country. While prizes ma be

been put on anything but local rec
ords. Under the afRliation with the

will be put on national record. and
prizes awarded and rating will be rec

pour In from dog fanciers Of the state.
Winnipeg parties have also. become
interested and have inquired about the
officers of the local association Of a
number OF classy entries providing the
show Is held under the auspices Of the
American Kennel club. It is also
probable that.a number Of entries will
be secured from the Fargo show.
The FIRST annual bench show oftthe
Grand Forks club which was held
February 8. 9. 10 of this year, proved
to be a great success considering the
conditions under which 1t was held
and everything points to a greater and
much better show this year. One or
two dog shows had been held here at
the fair and in private in the past,
year was the first under the auspices
Of an organized association.
n Grand Forks Kennel club was
organized last January. with w. w.
Hall as president, A.. E.. Nuss,. vice

Observation-Disclosures
Of STATE WILL
Be DIVIDED
Grand Forks and Fargo Will
Probably Have No Op-
portunity to Meet

1t is probable that the state high
school football championship title will
not be decided this year by a game be-
tween Grand Forks and Fargo. as it is
hardly probable that the game which
was to have been played today and
which was necessarily called off, will
be played later in the season.
The Fargo team arrived in the city
on Friday evening and this morning
be played the continued snow put a
stop to thoughts Of clearing off the
gridiron and it was finally decided to
call of the game. Arrangements had
been made, however. to play the game
had the snow stopped. Mayor Murphy
who was appealed to. having sent out
an order to the street cleaning depart
ment to take several snow ploWs to
university field to prepare it for the
game.
1t is probable that the game may be
favorable. however. but little hopes Of
this is held by the locals. Both teams
were keen to meet the other.
The records OF the two teams this
year are as follows:

WHY PITCHERS ARE NOT
THE BEST SLUGGERS
"Three-Fingered Brown" Enlightens Public on Few
of the Fine Points,

erS. Then, again. many hurlers are spe-
cialiSts and students of pitching and
nothing but pitching. They spend all
their practice time learning the tricks
of the slabman's trade-those and moth
ing more. They can't bat, simply because
they don't know how
still others disdain batting on the
principle that they are earning their
salaries by pitching and nothing but
pitchinC-that they do enough along those
lines. and that it would be foolish for
them to even attempt to bat. Still more
of the slabmen allege that batting and
running the bases tire them out so that
they cannot do their best with the curves
and hence they are really serving their
clubs most faithfully when they do not
try TO slug.
'Al1 of these reasons are logical and
Selt-eXplanatory. OF course, pitcher
who can bat has big advantage over the
fellows who are unable to swat the
leather 1t means a lot of difference
when team sends nine sluggers into ac-
ton. or eight batters and a sure out for
the ninth man. Some Of the good batting

The poker player believes that the game
would be improved if more of the element
or bluff were introduced. For instance
II the umpire called man out ona close
decision the runner should be allowed to
stand pat and be permitted five minutes
in which to bluff the arbitrator out of his
opinion This man also believes that it
is wrong to force runner off third base.
he should be allowed to come in when
he wishes
The croquet player wishes hoops used
instead of cushions: the entomologist de-
slres TO equip the fielders with butterfly
nets and the cricket player thinks the
game should consist of seventy-tuo full
innings with intermissionS after every
twelfth innings to allow tea and mullins
to he served.
Other changes that have been suggested
are that the runner he allowed to steal
first; that he shall be entitled to four
strikes. that he may take his base on
three balls: that the foul strike rule be
aboliShed; that the pitchers box be
moved back; that a man be allowed to
bat for the pitcher. the latter still re-
manning in the game, and that the man.
ager be allowed to take players out and
send them back into the game whenever
he thinks it best
Next season will probably bring the
same old game with the same old rules
and the same old crowds containing the
same old kickers. The true fan is a
curious animal. He can always find
plenty to criticiSe in existing conditions:
but if any one else ventures to speak OF
beneficial changes the fan is the first to
cry him down.

FADS AND FANCIES OF FANS
AND OTHER RULE REVTSERS

The Solons of football have so altered
the game that a player who has been
away for some years would only recog-
niZe his old paStime by the appearance
of the ball and the markings of the grid
IRON If the next meeting of the Joint
playing rules committee of the two major
baseball leagues adopted all the Sugges-
tons advanced by rabid fans they would
make the revisers of the football code
look like pikerS. There does not seem to
be a single city, town. or hamlet which
does not contain at least one man who
thinks he has an idea that would benefit
the game. Those communities where a
winning team foregathered are satisfied
with the present rules. So is the veteran
baseball bug of any region. He is true
conservative and reSentS any talk of
change. 1t is the men who regard base
ball as a pastime instead of the sacred
science which it is who wish to alter the
rules. Suggestions which originate in
their fertile brains are first tried out on
their friends and then put into literary
form and mailed to some innocent news
paper.
The checker player thinks it would be a
fine idea il the runner having completed
the circuit of the bases, should have the
privileges of king the moment he
touches the home plate and be allowed
to run back in the other direction, thus
scoring indefinitely until captured
The golf player suggests that batting
be encouraged by the construction of
bunkers in the outfield. into which either
the fielders or the ball might fall, thus
giving the hitter a better chance of reach
ing first on a high fly.

COLOR LINE DRAWN BY
WHITE BALL PLAYERS

working for themselves Players who
consider their profession a mighty thing
of some dignity are perfectly willing to
go to Cuba 10 play the natives and four
members of the Leland Giants, a colored
organization from Chicago. Yet if Frank
Navin scheduled the Lelands for an exhi-
bition game at Bennett Park you can
just see some of the 'hot-blooded'' gem
tlemen who labor for the Tigers kicking
holes in the pale blue sky.
But the same conditions which would
exist at Bennett Park in an event of this
kind hold good in less degree in Cuba, to
which the players have gone cheerfully
10 collect several hundred of the nmble
dollars for personal use and profit. The
athletes who toll often poke fun at some
of the Inconsistencies of the rnagnate
who rules, but you can't beat the va
carries of the player himself when there
is money in sight
There are a lot of ball players among
the colored men who would make good in
fast company if the opportunity was
given. On the Chicago team, for in
stance. there is an outfelder. Vinson,
who can field and hit and run / saw
him dash from first TO second on a fly to
left field one day against a strong semi
pro team in Cleveland, and he got away
with the stunt because he used head
work
Rube Foster. now a veteran, could have
pitched in the major leagues five or six
years ago with effect. He had about
everything Il good pitcher is supposed to
own. Foster is manager of the Lelands
and works only occasionally now.
But the colored man isn't in baseball
and probably won't be except in the eX-
hibition game in which the major league
players themselves collect the coin.
