AS far as Darby Is concerned he is
ready to answer the bell immediate

awaiting to know what is going to
happen here. His mail every day con.
tains queries from ball players. and
to these the orator. resourceful of
tongue tina, he is. is unable to give
answer.
The l. o. is Of the opinion tina,
something is going to develop in the
baseball situation here within a few
days. Darby says that something will
have to happen if he is going to con-
tinue to hold his players. Just what
is going to happen, nc one seems to
know. The Irish orator is hopeful
that Duluth is going to have baseball
this season. and comes through with
the remark that it would be a shame
If q city of this size would be with.
out league baseball.
According to Darby. he has som
likely looking youngsters in his squad,
and II we are going to have a team
here he believes he has the players to
land Mister Gonfalon in the backyard.
With the situation as uncertain as
1t Is at the present. time. Darby is not
in position to outline any plans. for
plans arc very liable to be misdirected.
II we are going to have a team in
some league. O'Brien believes he has
the players to deliver and says that
this city will be assured Of some fast
baseball.
With the presence here of O'Brien II
Is believed that some action will be
taken one way or the other right

With Farmer Jahns taking his last
strenuous workout this afternoon be-
fore an enthusiastic crowd Of fans and
Henry Ordeman due to arrive in the
city on the first train from Minne-
apolis Monday morning interest In the
big match booked for Jacks roller
rink Monday night is reaching a high
pitch. Seldom. If ever, has there been
a wrestling contest held in this state
that Is ~arouSing as much interest as
this bout.
This will he Ordeman's first appear
ance in the city and the fans are
mighty anxious to see him In action.
The meeting Of these two big wres-
! tiers is causing a lot Of comment in
every direction and especially In the
towns Of the state where Jahns has
performed this yca and where he has
in every casc thrown the man pitted
| against him.
Jahns' followers have desired to
have him meet Ordeman for a long
time. They have said that the Minne-
apolis man was afraid to meet the
farmer and all that sort of gaff. Now
they will have the opportunity they
have hecn looking for and they will
no doubt turn out in large numbers

Farmer is a Husky.
The farmer is q great. big wrestling
machine with a liberal amount of
thinking powers and should make a
%creditahlc showing against Ordeman.
| He is fit for the hattie of his career.
He is ambitious and is going into the
contest with a nice lot of confidence
| which ought to help some.
Ordcman is ono of the best mat ar
fists in the world. He has proved that
assertion in more than n gruelling
session. He has won some seemingly
impossible victories through the use
of his terrible toe hold. This hold will
not be barred in his = ntest with
Iahns. SO the farmer says. Jahns says
he wants to GO UP against the best the
visitor can produce and The chances
arc that tho farmer will see his wishes
realized.

One hundred thousand spectators is
the estimate of Manager Young. He
has arranged for extra grand stands
to be placed around the track. The
public is to be cared for this year in
a way never before attempted. This
is to be a record breaker as far as
attendance goes. declares Young, and
he intends to be ready.
That the race may be viewed from
all angles the crowd will have an OPP
portunity to watch the cars from a
grand stand on the Palisades and
from a stand on Nevada This
plan has been attempted before, but
this yea 1t is to be carried out. The
demand for better facilities to watch
