ly Few Days Left Till the
Training Season Opens.

Winnipeg and Grand Forks are
framing up for a row over the ques-
ton Of "hoos hoo" in the matter Of
players. The contest involves DeHav-
en-, Altman and Edmunds.
Some time ago it was practically
certain that Grand Forks would trade
DeHaven to the Winnipeg club in ex-
change for Edmunds. But since then
something has happened. Edmunds
has refused to sign with the Grand
Forks club at the none that has
been offered. and the club owners say
they are unable to offer him any
greater inducements because of posi-.
bic conflict with the league SALARY re-
q%uirements.
In view of this fact the Grand
Forks club will not relinquish it's
claim on DeHaven, whose contract for
the 1913 playing season is slowed
sway in NJ. Stanchfield's safe.
Wanted a Sure Thing.
Frank Lohr, while the deal was
pending, informed the Canadians that
he would be unwilling to make a dick.
er for a trade unless he was assured
that Edmunds would sign up at the
ngure that the local club could quote.
Now that Edmunds has failed to sign
up, n is still holding out with little
prospect of agreement up to date, the
local club is not willing to release De-
Haven.
AS for Altman Winnipeg conceded
MIN to be a free agent when they fail
60 to send him a contract within the
required time, and he will be a sure
enough Grand Forks man this season.
New Catcher is Signed.
Another prospective catcher has
been added to the list Of those who
Will try out for the backstop position.
Brandt. a college man, is the new as
pirant for honors, and according to
DeHaven. who has seen something of
his work, he has lots Of speed and
ginger.
Not only can Brandt catch, but he
10 strong at first base and he also has
had considerable credita BILE experience
n the outheld. l-ohr wouldn't be a
bit surprised to find Brandt showing
up strong enough to be included in the
lineup when the seasons opening day
arrives.
All Teams Getting Ready.
All Of the teams around the circuit
are getting ready for the opening Of
the season. April z seems to be the
favorite date for the opening of the
trimming season, and the various clubs
will all be on the Job by the end OF
that week.
O'Brien of the Duluth club will
train his men down in Ohio, he being
in Columbus. Inc it is in that district
that he has obtained most Of his men.
st. Paul and Minneapolis probably
Will train at home; Winnipeg goes to
Excelsior Springs. Mo-, while the
Winona. Superior and Virginia City
plans have not been concluded, al
though 1t is expected that Winona
will train at home.
hut One Week Remains.
Just a little over one week remain
before the Grand Forks club will re-
port for work at Red Wing, Mimi,
April z being the tentative late for
opening the work. 1t probably will
be April 8 before actual work is plac-
ed under way. The nearness Of the

they may have.
