TOUSEY TO GET COURT
AID AGAINST AMATEURS
Professionals in Amateur Baseball Ranks Cause Him to
Threaten Injunction to Prevent Then Using Term
Amateur All Men Playing Here Under Organized Ball
Rules in Danger of Disqualification at College

Frank s. Tousey has several times
sprung into prominence on questions
of athletics in Richmond. In fact. he
has shown a remarkable ability in

be the best press agenting stunt which
he has delivered in some time, for
Tousey, according to a statement made
by him. Is seriously considering max
Ing an attempt to secure an INJUNCTION
through the courts seeking to pre-
vent the various amateur leagues of
Richmond from using the word
amateur as being related to them.
Tousey's fight is based upon his
we'll known hypothesis that the rules

playing for other teams and because
most Of them have played with or

However absurd or unjust may seem

HOUSES WANTED IN BISMARCK.

Isn't it a pretty good recommends
ton for Il town when there is a very
heavy demand for houses, and that
demand cannot be supplied? 1t was
only yesterday that a certain real es-
tate man in this city remarked that
he could rent fifty houses If he had
them, and that the demand seems to
be heavier than aver.
Would this not be a good subject
for the town boosters to take up and
see If they could not get some COM
bination of men who would erect a
number of houses for rent? Families
are actually kept out of town because
they are unable to get houses.
An investment of $4,000 in houses
alone would not supply the demand.
Most any kind of a house will bring
from $25 to $40 per month. Not only
would this prove a good investment,
but it would be a good boost for the
town, thereby encouraging inmigra.
ton to the city.

INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM.

The time for the close OF the SEES
sion is fast approaching and as yet
there are no initiative and referend-
UNI bills that have passed both
branches of the legislature. The
members should be careful that there
is no slip on this matter, as everyone
who is a member has been elected
on a platform that stood for the
amendment and it was the expressed
will of the people tina; they have a
chance to vote on the measure. This
does not necessarily mean that the
people will adopt the plan when it is
put to them, but there should be some
sort Of a bill presented to them that
will be clear and capable Of being
voted on intelligently. 1t makes no
difference whether or not a person is
personally in favor of the bill, there
was a promise made in every plat
form that the people should have the
matter put up to them for final an,
alysis and there is nothing else for
the legislature to do.
