Duluth. Mimi. April 12.-The or

of any hasty and Uniformed plans al

Fargo received late yesterday says the
Fargo people do not care to enter out

Fargo will be content with, independ-
ent ball the present season. Probably
the refusal Of Duluth and Superior
to pay the amount Of the release ask
cd by the directors of the Minnesota
Wisconsin league has resulted in the
refusal of the national commission to
give the tw ocities at the head Of the
lakes protection. Winnipeg is in the
same boat.
There is not much time to straight
en- the matter of a league out and in
the event Of the contemplated league
going up it may be that Duluth will
go without organized baseball the
present season. 1t will either be that

showed last season that they thought
of the article of baseball played by

The news from Fargo casts a gloom

EXCITING RACE IN
NIAGARA ICE FLOES

Tonawanda, n. Y. April l1.-An ex-
citing race between two motor boats
through dangerous ice foes in the I'M
per Niagara river. and the Of
a large consignment of contraband
opium from the river bed. resulted
early today from information furnish-
ed to the police here by a Cram ISL
and farmer.
The message said a motor boat with
out lights had just crossed from tine
Canadian shore and was lying off
Goose Island. apparently awaiting a
signal from the American shore. The
signal the boat received probably was
a warning. for the moment the police
boat put u there was a splash and
the motor boat in the river started
down stream at full speed. There was
a sharp race to m%id-river. but the
pursuit had to be abandoned because
Of h danger Of collision with Ice
foes.
From the river bed where the
strange craft had anchored. the ON
GERS secured several forty-pound tins
Of opium. probably more will be re-
covered On further search.
