F. +. Vehemier. the new. coach at
the University Of North Dakota. Is
certainly o. K. He came to the insti-
tuition last Saturday morning n IN
the afternoon he gave the first squad
a good workout. Several OF the
players who thought that they were
in tip top condition soon found out
through IA stiff signal practice and
before going to the gymnasium had to
run around the field several times to
develop endurance. The way that the
new coach went at his work M first
night demonstrated that he knows his
business. Yesterday afternoon an
other signal practice and scrtmmage
took place and the team showed "A
wonderful development since the lat
ter part Of last week. Vehmeter
knows how to handle men and will
not take any back talk from any Of
the players no matter how good they
are at the game.
Tho fact that he refuses to let any
member of the varsity dictate to him
Is evidence enough to prove his abil-
ity as a coach. Vehemier has a good
vocabulary and is not a bit bashful
about using it. When n of the men
loafed a little yesterday he said:
Hey, you. get busy; what do you think
VIZ AS l1yA1itS w w. 1lSAS any a
er one. OF. the boys had made a good
gain against the second team the
coach remarked: Say. do that a few
times more and you will be playing
football"
Gullickson, assistant coach. was
right on the job with his proteges and
ne certainly put lots Of pep into the
players. He knows exactly what
should he done and no VITO do 1t. To
say the least, Gully is d cracking good
man for the position which he &C.
cupies.
Bacon. who had his kne injured in
a scrimmage last week. has not been
out TO practice since, but will probab-
~ be In the game BY tomorrow again.
Batten. who is Il we'll known football
mar at the institution, was out yes
terday and worked at the quarter po-
sition in splendid form. Batten has a
good chance to make the team this
year.. Besides his ability to run the
team Batten can drop kick in great
style. He is always sure and will be
a valuable man . Pinkham was. also
put in at quarter for a time and ran
the team in his usual manner. He
puts plenty of life into the players
and makes them get up their fighting
spirit.

Of all questions: cWho will win, the
Giants or the Red Sox?" It's some lit

mother or whoever tells you so.
In every city and village in the good
old U. S. A. today and even in the re-
mote corners Of the land where the
first new of the series will not be re-
ceived for some days, the one big
thought is directed to the foot Of
Coogan's bluff where at 3 o'clock this
afternoon the greatest baseball play
ers in the world will cross bats for
mounds Of silver dollars and the big

The fans are on edge. They are
anxiously awaiting the returns that to
some will mean only something good
to talk about tonight, while to others
will mean additional shekels with
which to buy WHEY that winter bon

And speaking Of shekels there has
been some little. betting in this town,
although it is miles away from the
Polo grounds. There are certain sport
followers among us" who try to ''lay
on" on anything that looks as though
it were good for a bet. And you can

man up approaches there Is consider
able Giants money in sight. Nation
al league hackers last night and this
morning seemed to gain confidence.
for they came to light with money in
something they could not see q week
ago, and this noon getting down to
even money.
No big bets have been reported, and
as a matter Of fact much Of the bet
ting here has been done on special
propositions.
Speculation is brisk.
Some fans were willing to bet this
morning that you could not guess tho
Others wanted to wager real money
that Joe Wood would not win two
games.
Even money that Tesreau will take
a game was considered q good bet at
the smoke shops this morning.
In n case s to 1 was offered that
the Giants take at least one game.
This bet was grabbed shortly before
noon. 1t is said.
The odds seem to reflect the opinion
Of the wise" betters. but the fact r.
mains that with baseball such an I'M
certain proposition the result Of any
short series Is nothing but -
let's call It luck.
From New York comes word that
both wonderful baseball teams are
READY for the battles Of their lives.
The members OF each team are pre-

The Red Sox arrived in New York
last night. They had their last prac-
Itice in Boston yesterday morning. Up
on their arrival In the metropolis, It
is said that betting went to even
money, because the visitors looked 80
good.
The Giants took their last workout

SEES An
EASY VICTORY
Gate City High Has Defeat
Of Grand Forks Already
Figured Out.

Down in the little village of Fargo
there Is much big talk anent the foot
ball combat which will be staged in
Grand Forks next Saturday afternoon,
etween the G. F. H. S. eleven:a and the
aggregation Of pigskin warriors repre-
senting the chief knowledge box in
the gate city. In Fargothey say that
the showing made by Grand Forks
against Grafton last Saturday was not
FORKS victory over Fargo this week.
They apparently do not take Grafton
strength into consideration. They are
placing much stress upon the score Of
20 to 0 made by Fargo against Cas-
SETON.
From what car be learned Of the
Casselton team 1t does not equal in
many ways the tough little army that
fought against Grand Forks here last
Saturday; Had the locals been pitted
against Casselton they would un-
doubtedly have made just as good a
showing or better than Fargo did.
AS the situation nov sizes up Grand
Forks has a stronger team than the
Fargo high and the locals have appar-
emily a better knowledge of the game.
The Grand Forks backfeld Is probably
faster than Fargo. while the gate city
team may have the edge on the q. F.
eleven in the line.
/ Taking the playing that has already
been done by the ancient rivals into
consideration. the Fargo and Grand
Forks teams are very we'll matched
and the game billed for this city next
Saturday afternoon should be a card
worth going many blocks to see.
While the Fargo-Grand Forks game
Saturday will be one Of the big battles
Of the season for the high school fans
of this section, the game with the Du-
luth high on October Is. will also be
an excitement maker. Last Saturday

ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING.

MeSa, flShtand, Lem, Alma, JOr- dan. and practically every section of the country contiguous to Mesa, were represented at a mass meeting held at the Mesa opera house "Wednesday night, for the purpose of discussing county division
 Representatives Don c. Rabbit and D. P. Jones were present and were called upon for speeches. They said they were in the legislature to work for whatever their constituents want ed and it was up to the people of Mesa to decide what action should be taken. If the people would agree upon the lines of the proposed divi- sion. they Ghe speakers) would take off their coats and work for it. The question of amending the present bill so as to include all that part of the county beginning at the north line of MaricOpa and extending south to a point on the Salt river just east of Tempe; thence following the river to the west line of the county, was discussed. Speeches were made by c. s. Stapley. II. S Phelps. w s. Dorman, pr. Palmer, Phil Nets, w. N Leseur and others A vote was then taken and resulted almost un- animously in favor of requesting Messrs. Jones and BObbitt to work for division, keeping as closely to the lines proposed as possible.
 MT. Jones then asked that citi- Zens' committee be appointed or se- lected to aid in the work. The sug- gestion was adopted and six nan.e; were suggested from the outlyinS districts, and six from Mesa Gig. From this list of nominees six Tere to he elected. and ballot was taken C. s.

This is a live committee and will be able to give the representa- tives in the legislature valuable aid in carrying out the work. In the meantime anyone having any influ- ence with outside members of the legislature is expected to voluntarily use that influence in trying to get the bill through as speedily as pos sible.
