1912 BALL TEAM
LINE UP GIVEN
Langdon. to Go After the Pennant
With Strong Aggregation of All
Home Players

Langdon base ball fans have been
thoroughly awake since the initial game
played with the colored aggregation in
which score of 2 to 0 told thatthe home
team had been mixing it up with clas-
sy bunch of coons bat only needed more
prac' ice to play really fast ball There
were baseball boosters here from Wales
Dresden and Osnabrock at the game
to get line on the playing of the Lang
don bunch that will have to be figured
with in the games played this season.
The lineup in Langdon uniforms made
showing that encouraged Manager
Gainsforth to look for the pennant at the
wind-up of the season and an expectancy
OF winning its opening series of games
with Sarles and Wales the beginning of
next week.
Carl Boyer and Will Heavy gave good
exhibitions OF their work as slab artists
Both made name on the LaDgdon ter
last y: ar and Carl's arm gave sure and
safe delivery that in more than one in
ming retired the coons in a one, two,
three order. Heapy is another local boy
who showed himself able to deliver the
goods and is there in fast company.
Fred Esterman has. signed with the
Langdon team as catcher and is known
as ono of the best players in the position
by those who have watched the games
played here in past seasons. He has
played on teams in the Manitoba league
is fast on bases and makes a strong per
centage as batter Fred has been
in fast company for years and is there
with the goods on any team.
The inteld at the opening of the sea
son includes in its lineup Sam Groom on
the first sack, John Boyd at second and
a new man Fox at third who has located
here this spring as a carpenter, These
three along with Stenv ick another new
man at short stop, did not fall down in
their effort to deliver the goods in Lang
don's opening game at every chance
given them and promise WE'LL
Three of last years old reliables who
will cover the out field for the home
team are Will Drury. Charlie Robertson
and Billy Scott Each has made re-
cord for himsel: on the local diamond.
Theirs is no soft berth in the lineup but
they always do honor to the team when
the heavy hitting visitor drives a hot
liner away into the outheld.
Langdon has baseball boosters among
its leading business men and the sum-
mer of 1912 is one in which the national
game is sure to claim the attention of
our townspeople young and old alike.

A NEW INDUSTRY
FOR LANGDON
Large Potato Warehouse Built Here
This Summer Ready to Handle
Big Fall Crop

This week the commercial club is able
TO make positive announcement that a
warehouse suitable for handling a
potato crop of not less than half
million bushels will be build in Lang
don this summer and ready for business
in the fall. This facts assured after
through canvass of the situation during
the week showing the cooperation of
farmers of the vicinity who will devote an
acreage of not less the 500 acres to raising
potatoes this season.
Langdon is making an endeavor to
start right-right from the start-and
avoid the mistake of other towns who.
have gone into the potato raising in
dustry and found it take about three
years to make it paying business pro-
position. To avoid this mistake the
commercial club would urge those going
into potato growing to unite in the
use of good seed and advises the plant
ing of such varieties as Early Ohios,
Carmens, Irish Cobblers, EARLY
Triumph, Burbanks, etc., as these are
sure of finding a ready market when
shipped.
| Ihe club also announces it will have
car of 500 bushels of Early Triumphs
here on track in Langdon this week
guaranteed to be choice seed potatoes.
1t is fact that there is at the present
time but little really good seed IN the
county, when it comes to growing pota-
toes that are being shipped onto an
eastern market Personally the publish
er of the DEMOCRAT can recommend the
Early Triumph as good marketable
seed potato and ready seller, being
early, round and uniform in size and a
splendid cooker all tie year round and
sure to bring the top market price.

Connie Mack, manager Of the Athletics,
who met and vanquished the Giants in the
worlds series Of 1911, has broken an in
variable rule by picking a winner for the
coming worlds series. Mack unequivo-
cally picks the Boston Red Sox to defeat
the Giants, and gives his reasons. He
says:
Il honestly think the Boston Red SoX
will win the worlds championship OF 1872
with as much ease as we captured it in
1910 and 1911 1 not only think they'll
win the honors, but l sincerely hope and
trust in their ability to do so.
1.-THE Boston team is without question
the best in the American League circuit
today. This fact 1 did not realize until
we played Jake Stahrs team the last
series at the Hub. 1 had purposely saved
Coombs, Plank and Bender for nearly two
weeks for these three games, and the rest
of our team was in the best possible con-
dition.
Like our team of 1910. the harder We
pressed them the harder they fought back.
The team has played marvellous game
throughout the season. 1t did not go
along with jumps and springs but just
played a steady game. That in itself
proves its class.
But there are other features that
broaden the greatness of the team, chief
among which are Wagner, Speaker and
Gardner. Wagner's playing this year is

GOLD FOR PRINCESS TODD.
Wins Futurity Pace in Whipping
Finish at Detroit.

DETROIT, September 19-Princess

yesterday afternoon proved the best in a
field Of splendid three-year-olds by win
ming the major portion of the Horseman
futurity purse of $4,000. Brighton B.,
Manrico and the Canadian filly each won
one of the three heats in this race, the
feature of yesterdays grand circuit pro-
gram. but Princess Todds standing in
the final summary was highest.
The track was muddy and about eight
late in the afternoon. None of the races
on the original program was reached,
and one of Tuesdays. the F>uturtty pace,
was unfinished after two tame heats.
Joe Patchen II, with one heat Of the.
PIP PAGE already to his credit, won two
more yesterday in easy style. He was
never urged and finished both rounds
slowing down.
Brighton B.. winner of Tuesdays one
ed out we'll in the second heat OF yester-
day. He led to the three-quarters. with
Manrico alongside. The pace was too
hard. and at the last turn Brighton lost
his stride, Manrico taking first position
and holding 1t to the wire. Princess Todd,
third Tuesday. came strong at the END
and was beaten by a length.
In the third and final heat Manrico and
Junior Watts raced out ahead Of the field
to the far turn. Brighton B. then took
the lead and looked like a winner. Half
way down the stretch Murphy made his
magnificent drive. He took Princess Todd
out of the bunch with a rush. and in
whipping finish sent her under the wire
half length to the good.

ACC|ES EXPECT BIG
SQUAD OUT TODAY
Six or Seven of Last Years
Regular Eleven Back in
School.

The largest squad that has ever
turned out for an initial foot ball
81 actice at the Maryland Agricultural
College is expected to be on hand this
afternoon when work is begun. Just
how many men will be out is not
known, but it is fairly certain that at
least twenty-five will don the padded
Jerseys for the first workout
Unless some new material is forth
coming the eleven is apt to be weak In
several spots. The two tackles, who
were the largest and heaviest men on
last years squad, have graduated and
will not be eligible to play this year
even If they return to take up post
graduate work, which is not likely.
Both positions will be very difficult to
fill. The other place in which 1t will
be hard to find a man the equal of the
one who graduated is at left halfback.
Kemp. who played that place last sea-
son, was an exceptional performer
both on the defense and as a line

It is known that several new men
have entered school, who have had con-
siderable experience with high and
prep school squads. They should prove
Of much benefit before the end Of the
season.

Speaker, Of course. has always been

Larry Gardner, at third is another
wonderful player. He will take all sorts
of chances, and his aim is to get the ball.
He made two diving plays in the last
series with us that were next to impos-
Sible. In one of them Gardner took a
chance of breaking his neck rather than
miss the ball. These are only few rea-
sons why 1 declare the Red SoX will win
the championship.
Some critics seem to be under the inn
preston that the Red Sox are likely to
waver when the big games are staged.
That is foolish. There is not a cub
youngster i'm the lineup. All are tried
and true. and will go through the series
without a culver.

By II. c. BYRD.

That the University Of Virginia will
make a determined effort to defeat
Georgetown this year is certain. The
Orange and Blue will put forth more
strenuous attempts to develop an eleven
capable of winning from the Hlltoppers
this season than has been the case since
the last victory secured by that institu-
ton in 1909.
The unwonted activity Of the Virginia
alumni in their attempts to establish foot
ball on a higher plane than it has enjoy ed
at Charlottesville during the last two
seasons is sufficient guarantee that
Georgetown will not have things as easy
this season as it did in 1910 and 1911.
The two defeats administered by the Blue
and Gray have not set well with the
Charlottesville contingent. and if a repe-
tition can be prevented this fall no stone
will be left unturned to accomplish it.
Last season, with a team made up al
most entirely of f1rst-year men. Virginia
had, very successful eleven, one which
had it been pitted against an ordinary
eleven at Georgetown would have been
victorious. What may happen this fall is
a question. though 1t is fairly certain that
much stronger aggregation will repre-
sent the Charlottesville school. If that
be the case. 1t is certain that the Blue
and Gray will not have an easy row to
hoe on the 18th of November.
Virginia's ends last fall were very
weak. That fact Is realized, and there is
every reason to believe a great deal
stronger pair of flanzers will hold down
the jobs this season. To Judge by the
reports coming from Charlottesville, the
line will be a veritable mountain of flesh
and bone. and despite the fact that the
lack Of backfield material is bemoaned.
it is hard to see what is wanted with a
man like Todd to play one half and
Sheldon. one Of the best backs in the
south, to hold down the other.
1t would appear that Virginia has but
one position to fill about which there is
much question; that is the fullback The
absence of man of experience like
Goodhue will be severely felt. but some
body ought to be found to take his place.
1t is certain that mistake will be made
if Gooch is played at half and Todd at
quarter. GOoch looked to be one of the
headiest generals in the south last sea-
son, notwithstanding the fact that he was
playing his first year of foot ball on
college team. 1t would seem that Todd
is too great running halfback and
Gooch too valuable man to direct the
play for them to exchange places.
Whatever may be the result of Vir-
ginia's season, it would certainly seem

There are some other husky men in the
freshman class, but whether or not they
have had any experience in foot ball is
not known.
1t Is probable that seven of last years

quarterback. being the only doubtful one.

the men who are back in school ready for

The Farmers have but three weeks to
prepare for one of the big games, that
with Johns Hopkins. Two weeks later
follows the one with St. Johns. These two
games. the ones which the Aggies had
rather win than all the others, coming SO
early in the season, will make IL a diff
cult matter to develop the squad suffi-
GENTLY to make the desired showing.
Some hard ticks must be put in between
now and the beginning of the season if
the Farmers are to have a successful sea-
son.
