HOENCK WHO HELD 1T FOR SOME

Bowling is getting to be quite a
feature at the Young Mems Christian
association. The two excellent alleys
are always In use from opening until
closing time. The leagues, for not
only men n boys but ladies also,
that are being conducted are the means

men quite a race as far as high score

And now about the word vas {. It's
pronounced "vace," whether It comes
from the 10 cent store or Tiffany's.
"Vaze" is wrong, says the book, and
"vawz' is vulgar. Another tally for
us old fashioned folks.
Perhaps you've been confused by
hearing people talk about rice and
finding out afterward that they meant
the noun rise" Well, they were
wrong. too, A straw vote of the best

Another word that is frequently
mispronounced is depot. 1t should be
"deepo,' not "deppo" or "daypo."
The renaissance is pronounced

Poets are filed with the divine "af-

BASEBALL YEAR
Will Be WINNER

Grand Forks Times: NJ. Stanchfield
returned today from Minneapolis where
he attended the meeting Sunday at
which the organization of the Northern
Baseball league was perfected, and he
is enthusiastic over the prospect that
the new league opens to the baseball
fans of Grand Forks.
1T will be the best baseball year
the city has ever had, and i am conf
dent that the arrangement will prove
entirely satisfactory all around. In
the twin cities there is a great deal Of
favorable sentiment concerning the
new league, and we are confident that
the minor clubs baseball campaign
will be financially successful in those
Cities
Every detail of the organization was
agreed to, according to Mr.. Stanch-
field, and all that remains now is the
completion OF the American associa-
ton schedule, after which the North
ern league schedule will be perfected.
1t is necessary, of course, to get the
"A. A. schedule before the Northern
league schedule can be drawn, so as
there will be no conflicting dates In the
twin cities.
Messrs. Taylor of Winnipeg and
Cheveral of Superior are the members
OF the schedule committee appointed
to draft six schedules, which will be
submitted at a general meeting OF thu
club representatives which will be held
at as early a date as possible.
