BY ]. ED GRILLo.

After telling why Clark Griffith failed
In Cincinnati. Hugh Fullerton seems to
think that Griff tack ed a worse job when
he took charge of the Washington club.
Hugh has it figured out that Griffith will
have whole lot to contend with here,
and predicts that if he can make the Ma
tionals win half their games he will have
surprised the base ball world. Here is
what Fullerton says of Griffith and his
Washington engagement:
Then he tackled an even worse job.
When l heard during the worlds series
that Griffith was after the Washington
club declined to believe 1t, on the ground
that Grin had more sense. He is up
against the hardest proposition of ail-or
rather half dozen propositions. He has
a club composed of youngsters and worm
out vets. He must, If he is to win, cut
loose all the dead wood. But will he
chase Wild Conroy and Kid Elberfe.d. who
were with him in New York? He must
tire his friends and tame the youngsters.
Then. too. four members of the team
wanted to manage II themselves, anu now
conjecture.
"IueIe are great possibilities in that
Washington teain-and GRIMM has a
chance TO cOnlOuHd al his critics II he
can make the team WIN naaf It's games.
But from here 1t looks nopeiess.'
If Griffith is the mapager he is be-
leved TO be, he will not allow friendship
to interfere Win MS success. ne wv,.i.
be cutting of his nose to spite his face
should he keep play ers on ms team VINO
cannot deliver the goOda. and SO far as
known Grsffith has never followed this
pan IN the past. Everybody familiar
with conoltionS on the local team KNOWS
that there IS not much cnance Tor GrInth
to have contender in the race mex. sea-
son. Griffith realizes this better tnan
any one else, no doubt. and for that
reason he has already announced his
policy of trying to build up a winner
here by deve- op.ng young material. No
one expects him to accomplish this in a
single year. 1t Is a safe prediction to
say tina. Griffith will not try to get a win
ner here by holding on to a lot of has
beens. Experience has told him that
this system does not bring success. There
has been ins nuation that because the
names of several of the local players
were mentioned I'm connection with the
local management, his apo ntment might
cause ascension on the team; but there
is no great danger of this, for none of
the players was ever seriously considered
for the place, and all knew it.
Il remains for the New York and ST.
Louis clubs to choose their managers
for next season. The resignation of Hal
Chase leaves the Yankees leaderless
while 1t goes without say ng that Wal
lace is nto apt Is be retained by the
Browns. The chances are that Owner
Farrell of New York is very much at sea
as to whom he will appoint to succeed
Chase. Wolverton has been mentioned,

he intimated that he was going

ty-ffth anniversary session Of the

HAS MADE G00D|
Artists Recital Numbers by Wesley
College Endorsed by People
of the City.

Three years ago the annual course
Of artists concerts given under the
auspices Of Wesley college conserva-
tory was inaugurated. It was a new
venture but faith in public appsecia-
ton gave those responsible courage
and h result was a series Of four
concerts by first rate artists. The
second season the course was given
with Maud Powell as the chief attrac-
ton and the third year the attention Of
all was focused upon Mclba. It has
remained for the present course to
be the n pre-eminent for its uni
form excellence.
It Is perhaps natural that the great
est interest should be attached to the
coming OF Gadskt since a grand opera
prima donna in popular estimation
represents the highest pinnacle of
musical fame. However a more gen.
eral appreciation Of music In all it's
forms is the crying need Of this coun-
try and OF the west in particular and
because OF this Maud Powell comes
not only as a world renowned artist
but also as the most devoted apostle
among the women musicians Of the
present day; and Harold Bauer, the
wonderful interpreter, comes to pre-
Q n an ideal Of what piano playing
should be for although comparatively
young he is everywhere recognized as
the equal of any living pianist.

1t Is expected that there vii lbe ap-
proximately $50 ministers and their
wives and an equal number Of laymen
OF the church and their wives in for

doubt be the largest in point Of num-
bers as we'll as interest ever held in

The church is being placed in readi.
ness and the work of procuring lodg-
ing and boarding for the visitors Is

quite a problem in providing accomo-
dalton for the large number Of visitors
but they have been met with on every
side with ready response and all will
be adequately cared for.

at the conference will be held this
year, stood the old building in which
the conference was organized. Pre-.
vious to this gathering the cause of
Methodism in the state was known as
the North Dakota Mission under the

route Of the big highway.
This county Is in a position to do
some excellent work in the long road
building campaign, according to the
views OF the members of the commit

Within the last few days there has

In South Dakota there has been a
great deal Of rivalry aroused over the
Meridian road with Yankton and Alb

those cities has entered the campaign
actively and intent upon securing the
road and 1t is the Yankton delega-
ton that will make the trip to Fargo

NAN HURT.
George

Walhalla Mountaineer: George
Cuff met with a rather serious acci-
dent the results of which cannot be
told eve at this writing. He was
driving a team of spirited horses, go
ing home from town. and when part
way up the south hill. met an auto
mobile. The horses became frighten-
ed, turned around and a down and
at the bottom the rig was pretty we'll

Of bad scalp wounds and was kicked
In the left eye by n Of the animals;
shaken up. The autoist-a stranger
here-picked up the young man and
brought him to town when DR.. Scott
dressed the wounds and fixed him up
as comfortable as possible at the Ho-
tel Metropole. His father, DR.. Cuff,
of Concrete, was notified and came on
at once. 1t was reported there were
fears the skull had been fractured,
but when last heard from this vas not
ascertained.
