the Grand Forks team gave a good
account of itself. though it was late
in the contest before they were able
to successfully combat the Duluthians.

VIRGINIA FANS
GETTING READY
Shannon, Who Was
Chosen Manager, Begins
Gathering Material.

Virginia, Mimi, March 20.-"Spike"
Shannon. manager Of the local Nor
thern league baseball team, Is to visit
Virginia In a few days. On leaving
Virginia. Promoters Coates and Finch
OF the Virginia team stated they
would make efforts to have the new
pilot accompany them to this city on
their return from the Minneapolis
league meeting.
Shannon is to start work at once
to engage strong baseball talent. Vir-
ginia fans desire a first-division club.
and expect the veteran major league
star to furnish this city with a strong
nine.
Shannon is an a%ll-around athlete
and likes football even better than
baseball. He will have a number Of
range youngsters to try u for posi-
tons on the local nine. Among the
young pitchers he will take under his
wing are Bob Benson, A. Shredder and
Oliver Hoel. who performed in the
Eastern Mesaba league two years ago.
The catching candidates have as
yet not been announced. Several
applications have been received for
infield and outfield berths. With
Manager Shannon's arrival. the base
ball dope Is expected to come fast
and thick.
With the spring thaw. the local ball
park will undergo thorough improve
ments. The grandstand will be en-
larged to twice Its present size. This
will be done. as the local club receives
70 pei cent Of the grandstand receipts
and only 66 2-3 per cent of the bleach
err receipts.

proposition that is true in baseball.
The four-team organization, is as a
rule unsuccessful from the fact that
the fans see too much Of one team.

the baseball dish.

Surely If baseball doesn't prove sue
cessful this coming season there is lit
tie hope for the game here. The pre-
vailing wall has been for a larger
league. The hope Of getting into the
Twin Cities has been like the hunt
for the golden apple of the garden Of
Hesperides. The more hardened and
c%alloused fans have held it up to ridi-
cule and have laughed long and ex-
%uberantly at the earnest efforts of the
baseball drones to break into the rich
er field Of baseball honey.
Now we are in. In a trifle more than
two weeks the team will start the
training trip. 1t is time for the fans
to get the fever; 1t is high time for
the business men and others to come
out Of 1t and resolve to give the team

Turner Goes to Cleveland

Pensacola, Fla. March 20.-The
warmth and friendship with which the
recruits on the Nap club are being
welcomed caused Tuck Turner the
other day to recall his own DAYS Of
breaking in.

said Terry. Then, those of US who
We're breaking in really had to do 1t
by main force. No one gave us the
glad hand. In fact. we had our work
cut out for us making Roadway

that they were slipping, but who, in
they could, made life a burden for the
younger men who were eventually to
steep into their Shoes"
Turner's remark on the difficulty of
breaking in also reminded him Of the
TACT that he will this season round u
his tenth year with the club. Old
fans Will recall how he went south in
the spring Of 1909, after having been
gathered from Columbus by the Cleye-
