themselves for the hard campaign in
the north. has such weather been en-
perienced. Managers are in despair.
From all baseball camps comes the
cry that. with the training season.
half over. the men are not we'll start
ed.
Managers realize that indoor exer-
else is not conducive to conditioning
a player. Only hard. open air work can
accomplish 1t. Pitchers afraid to try
out their arms. lack of snap in fielders'
work, batting practice at a standstill
ALL these are attributed to the havoc
created by the rain at the various
grounds.
The players are also fretting over
their inactivity. The easy life of the
winter has shown the need Of hard
work and they are anxious for it-not
only to condition themselves, but also
TO work off the charley horses and the
stiffness and soreness that usually ap-
pear after the first few hours of train
ing.
Two weeks more and the teams will
startn orth. Managers are praying for
Old Sol to come out of hiding. A
fo%rtnight's work in sunshine will do
much toward realizing every man
ayers hope Of a team Of w~efl-trained
athletes to start the season. But the
outlook is dubious.

in sympathy with the recent state
ment of Chief of Police McNyeeny to
the effect that, the dangerous toe hold

According to Martin Delaney, ply

association, the wrestling game will
not only suffer no hardships by the
elimination Of the toe hold, but the
sport will he bettered and rendered
less dangerous.
"Gotch lays too much stress on the
toe hold as a necessary adjunct to the
wrestling game" said Delaney yester.
day. He persists in giving to it an
im~portancew hich it does not possess
and I believe that we could get along
very wlel without 1t.
If you will notice. Gotch never
uses 1t to throw a man outright; 1t
is more of a. feint with which he dis
tracts their attention in order to fas-
ten other holds on them.

flicted by the toe hold is serious and
IL is generally conceded by those in
a position to know the game will be
purged of its most offensive feature
when authorities bar 1t from the

an Unbroken String of
Victories

There is a very strong possibility
that the Grand Forks high school and
the Jamestown high school will play
basketball in Grand Forks next Sat
urday. battling for the high school
supremacy of the state.
The jamestown high, by reason Of
the fact that It has twice defeated
the Fargo high school, is in tho cham
pionship race. competing with Grand
Forks which has defeated Fargo only
once out of two games.
Grand Forks, in its game at Minot
and kenmare. demonstrated It's SUI
pertority over all teams of the north
ern half of the state. n the game
with Jamestown would be the dccid-
ing event.
Under the proposed terms. the game
between Jamestown and Grand Forks
would dispiace the game that is sched-
uled for the university and the Wah-
peton school of science. The latter
school is not particularly anxious to
play the game.
jamestown has a very good record.
The team defeated LaMoure twice.
Valley City once. Fargo twice and
Oberon twice.

only a few minutes to get into their

Dave prepared for war l would have

and conscientious fellow-what he
did he did with all his sou and all
his energy. That went when he was
playing ball. and also when he was
merely getting ready to play ball.
When Dave dressed for battle he
wound himself round and round with
many yards Of tape-that gave a sort
of foundation for the superstructure.
Then he circled himself with half a
mile Of flannel. Next he put on heavy
underwear. Then he would array
himself in his uniform. Over the
shirt he puts a sweater. and wound IN

the break of luck is about even with
leaders and tailendcrs. But the diff
terence Is this: one club against a
run Of tough luck will break and lose
heart. will quit fighting and hustling,
and will let the play grow listless.
When the tide turns, this club is in no
shape to turn with 1t, or to take adj
vantage Of the change.
Another club will fight all the
harder against this bad turn. will stick
1t out. and hustle at ever greater
speed. The break will not only turn

the turn comes, it is then ready to
