MORE MONEY
IS NEEDED

Pres. Rothermel Is not so en-
thusiastic now about the baseball
club. He had a number of verbal
promises and as yet none of them
have materialized. The support
he had expected to get and which
he believed had saved the team
seemed to fade suddenly when 1t
looked as If the team was safe.
Time is flying fast. 1t Is time
the men had their transportation.
There is not enough money. The
sport lovers and the business in
terests who should have rallied
long ago are still holding back.
They must act at once. There
must be no more delay IL they
wish to keep the team here.
Tacoma, IL the team remains,
will have one of the best aggre-
cation of ball players in the city's
history. Today Pres. Rothermel
heard from Ike Butler who has
been south rounding up recruits.
Butler starts for Tacoma Monday.
Lynch is due here Saturday.
There will be a council of war. II
the money Is not raised by that
time Tacoma can bid goodbye to
baseball for the year.

Listen To Berry
Tell About II

LOS ANGELES, March AL
though his recruits have had but
an aggregate of ten minutes of
outdoor work since the beginning
of the training season, Hen Ber-
ry, manager of the Los Angeles
Coast league club, gave reasons
today why he believes the Seraphs
would be pennant winners this
year.
I'VE have weeded out the poor
material of last year, and have re-
tanned the good men," said Ber-
ry. "Our pitchers last season
were all right but the men were
beset by illness. With the re-
mainder of the club able to hold
its own with any team in the
league, why shouldn't we be able
to close up at the end of the race.

bEEL- COLEMAN
MATCH IS
LANDED

Fred Beel will wrestle Frank
Coleman for the middleweight
championship of the world in Ia
coma, March rs, 26 or 81. This
was the good news flashed around
today by Harry Andrews follow
ing the receipt of telegram from
Emil KIank, Beel's manager.
1t will be the first Champion
ship match ever staged in the city
and is sure to attract hundreds of
fans who love clean sport and sci
entific wrestling. In the same
program some of the best North
western talent Will be seen and
Andrews Is busy arranging a COM
plete program that will be bigger
and better than ever was staged
In the city.
Seattle sporting enthusiasts,
hearing that Tacoma sport lovers
were attempting to bring the
match here, have left no stone
unturned In an effort to stage the
match there. Andrews said this
afternoon, however, that the
match was practically cinched for
Tacoma as he had been negotiat-
ing with Klank and Beel for
weeks
Just where the match will be
staged Is uncertain. The Moose
hall is considered small and an
effort may be made to stage it in
the armory.
Fans can form some idea of
what the match will be from the
fact that Coleman has defeated
John Berg the big Portland CRAP
pier, and William Demetral, the
other contender for middleweight
honors. Beel has also defeated men
of this caliber and has long.
clean record. Beel Is not going to
lose the title IL he can keep it
by honest and clean work, and
Coleman will try in every honor
able manner to wrest the title
from him.

Eberhart. governor of the state. The
distinguished visitor came in from
Royalton, where yesterday he de-
liyered the Memorial day address dur
ing the exercises under the auspices
of the G. "A. r. Immediately after
breakfast the governor retired to his
room, where he rested for about three
hours. He appeared in the office
about 10 o'clock and was soon joined
by julius G. johnson, chairman of the
republican county committee. After a
brief chat about affairs in general and
a short reference to the condition of
local politics, Mr.. johnson outlined a
programme for the morning and in
formed the governor that a fine tour
ing car had been placed at his dis
posal with a chauffeur in charge,
with the compliments of John Hanson.
With Mr.. Johnson and A. r. Charest
the governor made a call on S. G..
Comstock, at his office across the way
from the hotel, and while waiting for
the car h governor me several citi-
zens, including the venerable J. b.
Blanchard. The car arriving the gov
ernor, under the escort of the two COM
mitteemen. was whisked off to the
courthouse as he had expressed a wish
to meet the county bunch Leaving
the county building the governor was
given a ride over Moorhead and Far
go.
The governor admired the new hotel
very much and remarked that such an
enterprise was a very laudable asset
to any city and he several times ex-
pressed very hearty congratulations
that Moorhead in that regard was in
the front ranks. "One thing l do want
to say" said the governor, "I never
saw the Red river valley looking so
fine n prosperous as it is this spring,
the sight of the fields and foliage as ]
viewed them this morning was a mag
nifcept one and their richness must

Pres. r. J. Weiser Of the First National
bank to a Forum representative today
on his return home from a business
trip to the windy city.
Il found it was the general consensus
OF opinion among Chicago business
men that there was no longer much
doubt about Colonel Roosevelt's re-
nomination, This was particularly
true after the returns from New Jer-
sey had been received"
MI. Weiser enjoyed his trip to Chi
cage very much. He has been gone
several days and took with him a
scrap book filled with cliprtngs from
The Forum and other leading papers
OF the northwest containing accounts
of the crop situation in this state and
particularly in reference to the interest
that is being exhibited by the flicker
tail farmers in the growing Of corn.
"All the business men l met in Chi
cago," said President Weiser, were
greatly pleased to hear Of the decision
Of the North Dakota farmers to try to
raise corn. They were very enthus-
iastic about my report of the situation
up here, especially about the corn crop,
and feel that North Dakota is now on
the right track from an agricultural
point of view in going more into the
proposition of diversified farming, as
is lone in the majority Of the other
leading states.
Il am glad to be home again in

wonderful metropolis, but Fargo is the
right place for me and looks awfully
