BASEBALL CLUB
HOLDS MEETING
Expected that Stanchfeld
Will be Selected Again to
Handle Team this Year.

The annual meeting of the Grand
Forks Baseball association will be
held Thursday evening at 1880 o'clock
in the Commercial club rooms, the
election of officers and the transaction
of such other business as regularly
comes before the association being
scheduled for that time. +.
The call for the meeting was is
last night by President J.. A, Din

There are a number of questions
for the association to take care. OF.
These include the working out Of a

status Of baseball in Grand Forks.
1t is expected that the association
will continue the arrangement of last
year, making Mr.. S%tanckfield the rep-
resentative of the club in the handling
of all of the work directly connected
with the team and with reference to
the relations with the. league. Mr..
S~tanchfield. in that capacity last year,
was remarkably successful, his long
experience in the baseball business
terrifying him for the administration
of affairs in a thorough and business

Ollie ANDERSON
T0ASTS NORTHERN
Umpire During Time of Old
League Wishes New Or
ganization Success.
PAGE EIGHT

Duluth, March 25.-Onie Anderson,
the old Northern league when Duluth
was a member and known by every
baseball fan in these "diggin's' as one
of the squarest men who ever braved
the jeerins of wildly excited bugs,
writes to a friend in this city recount
ing the old days and toasting the new
league.
Although separated from his first
love" by many miles, Anderson's heart
beats just as true for the new entry
into northwest baseball and those
who are guiding its destinies. Ollie
Anderson has rubbed against life in
all its phases since he has entered the
field of umpiring and his bits OF ad-
vice come from one who knows.
Here is his toast to the new league:
May success attend your presi-
dent, George Barton. the players, the
fans, {? p. May they have occasion
to yell themselves hoarse, drink the
red pop and a peanuts with joyful
glee and may the pen pushers and
ink singers have good material to
write of sensational games to enjoy
n in it all do not forget there are
others in the game working just as
hard for a meal ticket"
Anderson is a great adnlirer of
President Barton. Referring to him
he says: I'm George Barton--and no
better fellow lives-the Northern
league has a president of timber that
presidents are made of, clever with
the gloves. champion bag puncher of
the northwest, handball player of clev-
erness. c~ross-country runner and a
man who has touched the burdens
OF umpiring and with it all. diamond
~ speaking is pure white, hard and
cuts clean. When a league gets such
a president he is going to get the best
available umpires. He is going to
back then and will not stand for
rowdy ball. Rowdy bail and areres-
u ball are as different as day and
night. If 0 find an umpire who is
yellow pan him out. When one is
right he can fight the world; when
wrong he can't fight a sick cat"
Anderson tells of the old days when

Eagan, Bearwald and Hank Gehring
played semi-pro ball in the north

BUYE rs NOW SEEK
HIGH PRICED CAR

The automobile races at Corona
We're extremely interesting to me. in
showing the increased popularity of
high grade motor cars" says Bert
Latham of the Simplex Mercer Pacific
coast agency.
While all kinds of motor vehicles
were in attendance at the big race
meet. there were more high grade
cars, more Simplexes, than ! have ever
seen before at any automobile contest.
They were not all new owners.
There were many among them whom
have been acquainted with when
connected with our house in Los An
geies. / have known them as owners
of cheaper makes OF cars than the
Simplex, and were now possessing
what previously they had stated was
too high priced car for them.
1T shows conc1usively that the pub
lie is realizing the value paying a
price equal to what they get--that is,
not seeking the automobile from the
standpoint of dollars and cents, but
from a standpoint OF design, material
and construction. The construction of
a car. the material and the design are
of great Importance at the present
day. One must consider the value of
their life.
"And 1t is not possible to get too
good material. too good design or too
good construction
