What's Doing in the World of Sport
Fargo Defeats Grand Forks
championship in Doubt

Fargo, N. D.. Nov. 11.-Fargo high
school football team Saturday defeat.

gregation to the tune of 20 to s.
Incidentally Fargo earned it's right

the state high school title in the mud.
died shape in which that issue is left
as a result of the poor schedule MAX
ing of the year.
From the spectators point of view
the game was all that could be desired.
Fargo used the open plays to advant-
age. Grand Forks relied upon line
plays. utilizing a shift based on the
old Minnesota shift. 1t was almost a
demonstration of the old game against
tho new.
Forks Better in First Half.
Grand Forks showed up better in
the first half and in the last few min
utes of play. In fact the offense of
both teams was better developed than
the defense, with the result that the
team having the ball gained almost at
will. Had Grand Forks had a wider
variety of play and Used better judg-
ment In the running of the game. the
result might have been different.
Hines is Star.
Fargo showed 10 advantage in tho
third and fourth quarter, when Ions
runs by Hines and Melchior and sue
cessful forward passes enlivened the
days pastime. Hines was the indi-
vidual star of the game. His nearest
rival for that honor was Ferguson,
who qualified as the best high school
line bucker seen here this season. Fer
guson was the mainstay of the Forks
attack and about him seemed to have
been built the offensive play of the
visitors.
Circles Forks End.
Hines got eway for some of the
prettiest runs eve seen in Fargo. He
circled the Grand Forks ends for Ions
runs and scored n touchdown on one
of the most spectacular runs of the
game. Melchoir made a beautiful TO-
yard run, but was downed on the
three-yard line by Ferguson. Berner,
captain of the Fargo team, was es-
pecially valuable as a line plunger and
because of his generalship. The whole
Fargo team is to be given credit for
playing a heady game.
LtncSmen Play Good.
There was little to choose from in
the playing of the linesmen Of the two
teams. Eddy for Fargo played a great
game. He seemed to be the first of
the Fargo forwards to solve the shift
play used by the visitors, and after
1t had been used a few times at his

MURPHY LIKES

Spring to Pick up Pitch
ers of this Variety.

Scouts for the Cubs will be in
structed by President Murphy and
Manager Evers before they leave Chi
'cago next svring to be on the lookout
for good spitball artists. Murphy
said that he wanted more spitbail
pitchers. because he believes this
style Of pitching is in many cases
more effective than the other.
Murphy formed this opinion after
he had a long talk with Billy Sulli-
van, the White Sox catcher. who is
spitballs in either league.
II believe in svitball artists and
any team that can get them certainly
will he strengthened,' said Sullivan
to Murphy at a recent conference.
Yes. l believe that, Billy. after I
saw Ed Walsh and Joe Benz pitch
their games against U.S." said the Cub
boss. II have learned in watching
the last city series hat a swift ball
pitched just below the knees got most
of our boys.
Next season I will have that kind
of a ball developed more than we
ever had before. of cours the Chi
cago club is always in the market
for whether they are pitchers, infield-
ers or outfielders, but, of course, I
would like to strengthen our pitch
ing staff. 1 consider Lavender and
Cheney two of the best pitchers in
the league. but We need more. and
if there are. youngsters who show
signs of developing the svitball I wan
to know where they are and I will
direct u scouts to look for them"
Sullivan informed Murphy that
Benz had more stuff on his ball than
many realized"
II have often caught Benz. and 1
want to say right here that he is COM
ing right to the front, and I believe
he will win most of his games next
spring. Benz has a whole lot OF stuff
which he will display next season.

In the first part of the game but later
In the day proved of little value to the
visitors.
Forks Lacked Variety.
Lack of variety a responsible for
the failure of the visitors to make con
sistent gains. They had not more than
three plays outside of the shift. They
could not work the forward pass to
n advantage. They got their plays
off more quickly than the Fargo team
and the players seemed to be in bet
ter condition than the Midgets. This
was due to the fact that Saturdays
contest was the first of the year when
the whole Fargo team has played to-
gether.
Hines Scores First.
Hines scored the first run for the
locals at the end of the first half of
a long n run. The ball was on the
20-yard line and Hines was called up
on. He responded by skirting the end
behind good interference and scoring
a touchdown. Healy kicked goal.
In the third quarter was the best
playing from the standpoint of the
spectator. Three forward passes were
successful in making long gains for
Fargo. On the fourth forward pass a
fake that worked finely. Healy made
the touchdown. Healy then missed
goal.
Melchoir Prime Factor.
Melchoir was the prime factor in
the scoring of the third touchdown.
He intercepted a forward pass and ran
through a crowded field for a touch
down. 1t was a 20 yard run. and as
pretty a sprint as will be seen on Il
football field here in many seasons.

which place it was carried over for a
touchdown on the next play.
Ada kicked off to the East Siders

After Season
On Several THINGS of
Interest in Baseball

Magnates need not worry. They

the curtain of their bedroom windows
to take a peep at the sky. There is
a man UP in Michigan who will free
them from all this. for. according to
niftiest weather prophet this side of
Timbuctoo.
The address that he gives in a
letter to President Hermann of the
Reds is a hospital of which he says
he Is in charge OF the weather bu-
reau. This admission opens up an
avenue Of conjectures.
AT any rate. the writer is not hid
ing his light under a bushel. He par

Of the American and National leagues
this gentleman wants the sum of S.
900 for preparing the schedule. He
has the work under way. In Mr..
Hermann he contides that the sched-
ming March II and continuing until
October IL.
There are three series Of three
games each and one Of four games.
He promises no conflict in dates and
no irregularity. In view of the longer
season he suggests that the salary of
each player be increased twenty per
cent.
The increased number of games, he
says. will net each club from $4,000
to 500. 900. He naively declares that
a small price paid for the schedule
might reduce the attendance.
AS to weather. he says. he knows
just what it is going to do. just. as
he knows the habits of the kitchen
stove. He will pick out all the dry
days and leave the wet ones alone. In
addition to the $4,000 he wants his
name printed on the schedule in big
letters. The schedule will be ready
for the December meeting of the lea
