A. c. and The
F. c. sign Up
TWO GAMES HAVE BEEN scHED-
uLED BETWEEN THE TWO BIG
LOCAL INSTITUTES TO DECIDE
THE CITY CHAMPIONSHIPS IN
BASKETBALL.

Fargo college and the agricultural
college have at last broken the ice
and signed contracts for two baskets
bali games. Owing to the delay in the
signing, numerous unauthentic reports
were circulated that the two institu-
tions were not on the best Of terms,
and that athletic relations might be
discontinued, but at present all doubts
have been set at rest, and the two
rival quintets will have a chance to
try each others ability.
Feb. 10 has been set as the date for
the first game, which will occur in the
Fargo college gymnasium. The Sec
ond game will be played Mar. e on the
A. G. floor.
There is rejoicing in the different
basketball camps, as each school has
world beating" prospects, and no
school is out Of the North Dakota
league to result in a perplexing cham
pionship situation.

PLAY NORMAL NEXT
Fargo College Boys Will Have Healthy
Argument on Their Hands for
Tomorrow.

Fargo college against the fast Moor
head Normal school is the programme
for tomorrow evening at the Normal
gymnasium.
Moorhead Normal has one OF the
strongest teams in its history this
year, and is after the scalps of the
players from F. c. However, the sky
pilots T hoping to surprise the nor
malites and come gu with the large
end of the score.
In comparison of scores this game
will in some ways present the relative
strength of the north and south side
colleges, as the normal held the A. G.
to a 81 to is score last Saturday. II
is understood, however, that the farm
ers' ranks have been considerably
strengthened during the last week.

SLUGGING FIRST
Stacker ESSENTIAL

The big battle now between the
various big leagues over, the acquisi-
ton of promising first-base material
brings up the subject: Is the game
progressing as far as the play in that
portion of the diamond is concerned?
1t looks as if a pennant-winning Or
g~anization has got to have a hard
hitting first baseman in its line, a
slugger Of the cleanup kind, in order
to attain its end.
Great first basemen have shone from
the first time the pastime attained ma
tional, prominence. Among the old
timers the greatest sluggers were
Pop" Arson, Dan Brouthers and Dave
Orr. These men were Of championship
material throughout their careers, as
far as their hitting IA concerned, but
in their time they were not called upon
to play a perfect fielding game. 1t
was Pat Tebeau and Charles A. Comis-
key who advanced the science of play
ing more than any other two men in
the business. Tebeau and Comiskey
introduced all the real fielding tricks,
and it was not until Frank Chance
doomed up on the surface that they
were perfected.
According to the records Frank
Chance is one of the greatest hitting
and fielding first basemen in the game
today. For eleven years he played
the position and never did he fall be-
low the 800 mark in his hitting.
Report has it that Chance will get
into the game next season when the
Cubs start their battle for the National
league pennant. This hardly seems
possible. Chance has suffered from the
many bean balls he has}rrun up
against, and it is doubtful whether he
can get back into the form that he
showed before his injuries. So it is
that the Chicago team is on a Ions
search for the necessary material to
develop a player of the Chance cali
Der.
Safer had hit one OF Mattie's fast
ones, but he couldn't repeat when he
faced the fadeaway king again. Then
it was that the Change of pace" told
its story. AS Safer progressed his
fielding efficiency increased through
the able coaching he received from
Chance, King, Archer and others on
the team, but as the season advanced
his ability to hit fell off and he was a
mark for the best pitchers in the
league. Safer may outgrow his bad
stick work, but this can only come
with experience, but the Cubs can't
wait for that and must have other
material.
President Murphy has secured one
youngster, a left-hander named Agler
from Newark, and called the "Hal
Chase of the Eastern league II he
can show the clever fielding ability OF
Jake Daubert and hit deceptive pitch
ing successfully, he may prove to be
one Of the coming stars.

IN THE WORLD OF SPORT
$4,000 WORTH OF
BASEBALL MATERIAL
ON TRIAL I'M 1912.

Four ball players who cost
magnates the sum of $4,000, in
deed a fortune, will be on trial
beginning the 1912 season. They
are Mary O'Toole. the Pittsburg
spitball phenom, who cost Barney
Dreyfuss $22,5 500, and somewhat
failed to live up to his reputation:
Bill Kelly, his catcher, and an
East st. Louis boy, who brought
$500; Lefty" Russell, purchased
by Connie Mack for $1,000, and
Russell B1ackburne, who put a
$4,000 dent in Comiskey's bank
roll.
This quartette probably forms
the highest price ever paid for dia-
mond celebrities and shows what
the magnates put out to build UP
a winner, and are even foiled in
the price. Four players, costing
$4,000, and still their future is
not as certain as some who did not
cost $500.

TELLS OF
BLEACHER TROUBLE

Bill Sweeney, who for five years a
been playing on the lowly Boston Ma
tionals, said in his home in Cincinnati
a few days ago that the player who is
sensitive to criticism is hurting him
self and will not do his best work II
he Is constantly worried over what
may be said about him if he makes a
mistake.
II had a good lesson on this sub
iect," said Bill. st was about three
years ago, when / was playing third
base for Boston. Bill Dahlen was
| playing shortstop, and the bugs who
| congregate in the third base bleachers
in Boston and bet On the game got
sore on Bill and could not give him
credit for anything. If he missed the
hardest sort Of chances they would
roast him numerically and would
never see him at all when he pulled
on a good play.
''They were so unfair that I finally
got sore at them and baned them out
for the remarks they made to Bill.
This turned them against me, and for
a while / couldn't do anything right
in their eyes. If I made a tumble or
q bad throw they were after me hot
foot, and ven when / got through a
game without mistakes they would
still hand me a few hot shots.
AT first they had me going, but
after q while I began to ignore them,
and then I got along much better. The
experience showed me that a ball play
er is a fool to pay any attention to
what is said to him on the field,
whether it is good or bad. My advice
is not to swell up when applause is
handed out, and above all, o to get
sore or grouchy when some OF the
bugs hand you a roast. Most of the
fans mean well, and would rather APP
plaud than not.
"Of course, there are a few who are
prejudiced against certain players, but
the athlete who will not stand the gaff
win not be doing his best work. The
same is true of the comments in the
newspapers. There is no reporter who
would not rather boost than knock, but
you cannot expect so many nice things
to be said about a losing team as about
d winner. When ever any n takes a
rap at me. ! try to. remember that tbs
last time I cleaned up with a hit at the
right time the same writer had me in
the headlines and gave me a dandy
boost.
"A player who expects nothing hui
boosts is making q big mistake. He

Will Probe the Matter to

New York, Feb. 1.-THE ramifica-

celebrated case Of Folke Il. Brandt.
former schiff valet, were still further
extended today, when Justice Gerard
named special commissioner by the
governor to probe the circumstances
Surrounding the original sentencing of
| Brandt, began consideration of the
case.
Justice Gerard announced that he
viii hold public hearings in which ev-
cry phase Of the case will be inquir-
cd into. II was confidently predicted
that by the middle of next week, his
report recommending a complete par
don for Brandt will be in Governor
Dix's hands.
The storm center of the case today
was Judge Rosalsky, who sentenced
| Brandt, and Howard S. Cans, Schlff's
attorney. Rosalsky, it was openly
charged, erred in yesterdays action of
reopening the case. and ordering new
trial, and he and the Schin lawyers,
Judge Alton b. Parker and Cans, were
IN contempt of the supreme court in
going ahead with the hearing in the
facc Of Justice Gerards order that all
proceedings be stayed pending his de-
cision in the habeas corpus proceed

Attorney General Camody was today
preparing an appeal from Rosalsky's
order questioning his jurisdiction.
That Judge RosasSy realized any
attempt made by him to bring Brandt
before either himself or any other
general sessions judge would fail was
shown soon after he reached his cham
bers, today. He sent for the newspa-
per reporters and announced that ne
would not order Brandt's into court
today, explaining as follows:
"ln view of the arrangement entered
into by the attorneys in this case to
suspend proceedings pending Justice
Gerasd's decision of the habeas cor
pus proceedings, have decided that
II would not be right to cause ply
steal arraignment of Brandt In court
until Justice Gerards decision is made
public"
Rosalsky intlmated that he did not
consider his action or yesterday In
ordering the new trial for Brandt was
disrespectful to Justice Gerard and no
admitted physical arraignment for
the accused today would be and might
re followed by contempt proceedings.
