game.
The interest the Grand Forks Auto
mobile club has taken in trying to
have the Glidden tour routed through
the northwest this year has attracted
attention throughout the country. In
the last issue of the Automobile, pub
lished IL. New York city. the club is
given a neat little mention. Several
of the leading newspapers of the
northwest have also given the clubs
effort a boost.

a good drawing card and maybe they
would.
Word anne r the mighty Red

about to start put with their subscrip-
ton lists. This Is where the fans will

spirit n help the home boys to get
on their feet and take care Of their
park. which is liable to be snatched
away from them If business isn't pref
ty brisk this spring. With a little sup
port, the Picketts will be in a position
to deliver the goods this year in a
pleasing manner They deserve en-
couragement and they will not doubt
get the glad hand almost everywhere.
Just a few more of these fine days
and the Picketts recruits will be much
in evidence on the lot. There will be
a good bunch of material to select
from this year and the Picketts should
start the season out with a strong
nine. Among the boys who will prob
ably he candidates for the team arc
Ed. McIlraith. Mcneil. Tierney, Ho.
hoff. Norton, Emerson. Doc O'Keefe
k1ppenlng, Lu0WlE,
Saddle. Tom Woods. Bill Farmer

Persons who are making the big
talk about placing Fargo and Grand
Forks in a baseball league with Su.
perior. Duluth. Winnipeg and Virginia
must have a bunch of real coin tina,
they want to scatter over the prairie
or else they do not know the situation
here. A league would be a corkine
fine think all right. but so far as max.
ing the proposition a go in Grand
Forks this season there is no chance
no chance. If you want to get right
close to the situation. take a day of
and go around and talk to some OF
the old heads in the game here. Plac-
ing a league team in a city of this
size, where Sunday ball Is frowned up
on, will not ever amount to a merry
gamble. If Grand Forkers believed
that a league would work out. they
would have had the boys just about all
signed up by this time. There are q
few live wires in the village yet and
they have looked into the baseball
situation here this year. They have
looked at it sensibly. They will tell
you that the league idea is not the
stuff for this season at least.
