A crusade for a clean and spotless
city should now be inaugurated and
in order to bring about this desirable
condition. it behooves each and every
householder to begin at his own door
steps and then he can "a to his
neighbor, go thou and do likewise"
Such a spirit of emulation is more
effective than city ordinances. Old
papers should be burned before the
spring winds carry them hither and
thither, and it is not too early to
begin the good work. Every citizen
of Grand Forks is or should be inter-
ested in this branch Of conservation.
The women of the Civic league have

should be strengthened by all good
citizens. Enpassant we have been
requested to call attention to the i'm
propriety of allowing dogs to be
taken into the stores, where they are
decidedly out of place. This is a mat
ter worth the attention Of the Civic
league and no one should take offense
if they are requested to leave their
dog outside the door.

Whether Georgetown can beat Vir-

event of the evening Is a matter of
conjecture. One fact. however, Is GER

carried the Blue and Gray for many
years.
The addition of Gller and Chapman to
the relay has strengthened the team

Always comes here ready to battle in

acting the athletes away from their
marks. 1t is practically impossible for
them to steal on him, and all of his
getaways are well-nigh perfect.
Benny Osthucs, we'll known around
this section as having acted as clerk of
the course for many years, comes all
the way from Boston to again accent
the position. His assistants will bo I,
V. Mulligan, Vincent Daley, and Mike

Tough Managerial Jobs.

ODay, with all the hoodoo behind his club, isn't the
only new manager facing highly tcklish situation.
Cleveland, New York, and Washington, where Davis,
Woverton, and Griffith step in have yet to win their
first American League flag These three cities have
drawn tough shedding from their first campaigns but
on the theory that it's long lane minus any turning
point, the first kink in the road is about overdue.
Griffs sole hope is to build up machine by grad
ual process and become potent factor later in the
century But Wolverton and Davis both have pros
poets. Both start in with good material, and while
neither heads a ball club tOuted any luTid pen
nant factor, either carries the chance If
the right managerial strain develops to make even
lineup like Philadelphia whirl at top speed to finish
somewhere beyond.
If either Wolverton Davis develop we'll bal
anced infelds the remainder of the two casts should
carry out the rest of the argument.
