LIMIT IN
PENNANT CHASE
IT is STATED THAT NO TEAM IN
THE BIG LEAGUE EVER WON THE
BANNER OVER THREE TIMES IN
SUCCESSION, INTERESTING STORY
OF THE CONTESTS.

In the thirty-seven seasons of the
National league n thirteen seasons
In the American league no ball club has
ever won four pennants in a row And
IL IS unlikely that one ever will
When the Cubs were beaten out by
Pittsburg in 1909 and the same players
who had won three ~pennants and two
worlds series were in Chicago's lineup
great machine from their fourth sue
cessive championship, but there is a
real explanation.
A team that has won three pennants
has had to keep its regular lineup in
the field to stay in the race. A pen
nant contender cannot experiment and
develop players to take the places of
those who are slowing up. Another
club that has been experimenting and
developing recruits comes to the front
and overtakes the pennant winner.
The baseball sharps figured in 1910
when the Athletics made a runaway
race that Connie Mack would make a
new mark by winning four successive
pennants. Mack a the youngest team
that had ever won a championship, a
team, that on paper, should be good
for at least foul years.
But Boston developed players while
Mack was playing his regular lineup
last season and the Athletic machine
stopped with two pennants. When
wise bid Connie saw he was out Of the
race he began to weed out. He let Cy
morgan n Brts Lord go, and started
to develop new pitchers and o~ut1elders
the two weak spots on his team.
Five teams have won three straight
remnants in the thirty-seven years OF
the National league, while in the
American league~Detroit, the cham,
pionship team in 1~907-08-09, was the
only three-straight winner.
Only seven teams besides the three
time winners in the National league
have won two straight pennants, and
in the American three teams have won
two remnants in succession.

Jamestown, N. d., Feb. 1.-The
sixth annual meeting of the North
Dakota County Commissioners as
ISOLATION closed in Jamestown Thurs
day afternoon after one of the best
meetings ever held. That was the
general consensus of opinion. And
everyone believed that the actual
amount of work done will be of
much benefit to every member. Much
new work was threshed out in the
running debate upon matters brought
before the body. The attendance was
large and representative of the entire
state.
Wahpeton, Grand Forks and Val
ley City were lively contestants for
the honor of entertaining the next
convention in 1914.
The session Wednesday evening
was devoted to a very interesting adj
dress by Superintendent Hotchkiss of
the state hospital upon the subject Of
sterilization of the detectives of the
state. He illustrated his remarks
with charts and quoted statistics TO
| show the need Of just such legisla-
tion rs is before the present
state assembly.
The remainder OF the session was
devoted to the consideration of
measures now before the legislature
and some lively debate was INDUCED
in. At one time the argument be-
came somewhat warm and one speak
er was ruled out o~fNorder, but the
convention was SO much like a meet
ing of the county commissioners at
their homes that everyone enjoyed the
light which they received. Good
humor prevailed.
The youngest members of the coh-
vention were "A. j. O'Keefe and Ed
ward Egan of Golden Valley county,
the newest county of the state which
was organized Nov. 10, 1912. They
took much interest in the proceed
ings and learned much Of their new
duties.

he said. THE station was besieged

was most anxious to communicate
with a friend standing in the street

Want WAREHOUSE
AT DARLINGTON

Darlington, N. D., Feb. 14.-Hugh J..
Hughes, one of the speakers at the
farmers school made the statement
that a potato warehouse of 10000 bush
ell capacity could be built for $4,000.
Had there been q potato warehouse in
Darlington last fall it would have
more than paid for itself this sea-
son. Potatoes last fall were a drug on
the market at rs cents, and the quota
tions this week are So cents per bush
ell. It takes but a poor mathematician
to figure u what this would have
meants to the potato growers in this
vicinity just this season.
There is considerable agitation for
a warehouse at this point, and the
project should be carried to a success
full conclusion. The plan that has been
talked is for a cooperative warehouse,
with as many potato raisers as pos
sible as stockholders in the company.
We have heard business men of our
city state that they were ready to take
stock in such a company, and with
a little hustling there is little reason
to doubt hat the company could be
organized and the house built. .
1t would also be a big thing for the
farmers in this vicinity if the same
company would handle produce of all
kinds, such as butter, eggs, poultry,
veal. and all the staple vegetables. This
would give the farmers a cash market
for their produce, and there would
then be some incentive to raise a
greater variety of stuff and produce.
AS 1t is a farmer cannot raise much of
this smaller stuff for he has no market
for it whatever, it being impossible for
anyone to raise a sufficient quantity
for a shipment, but with a produce de-
pot it would be no trouble to get ship
ments together. a.sa
A potato warehouse would undoubt-
edly be a profitable venture, and the
movement to build one in this city
should receive the support of all.

The Midday Bowling league opened
with a great deal of interest on the
alleys at Young Mems Christian asso-

Fargo's most prominent business men
are entered in this league. They real

Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and

winners their names will be engraved

knocking down six pins with his first

In the World of Sport
M'CARTY FASTER
Than CORBETT
DIR. JOSEPH A.. REILLY BELIEVES
THAT LUCK Is A FASTER PUGI-
LIST THAN WAS THE Ex-CHAM-
PION AND HE GIVES HIS REASONS
FOR HIS BELIEFS.

DIR. Joseph A. Reilly, director of the
Kansas City Athletic club, states that
1t is his belief that Luther McCarty is
a faster pugilist than Jim Corbett was
IN his prime. Reilly watched McCarty
in a workout with Lee Talbot, the
giant weight man OF the middle west,
and drew his conclusions thusly:
That fellow will be champion for a
long time. Look at his shoulders and
arms and the way he tapers. He's just
a Kid, too, and will fil1 out, take on
more weight, grow more powerful.
He'll keep his new championship belt
for several years to come and perhaps
win a few more.
This McCarty is the fastest heavy
weight on his feet I've ever seen. He
is much faster than Jim Corbett and
has more natural speed than Corbett.
Jim had more cleverness than McCar-
ty, he knowing how to use his foot
work to better advantage, but this fell
low sure has it on Jim when it comes
to speed on his feet, and it's only a
matter of time and experience until he
gets the cleverness of Corbett in COW
rering ground in the ring"

TO ABOLISH
CARNIVAL AT
STATE FAIR

Grand Forks. N. d., Feb. 14.-Abol-
ishment OF the carnival company as an
attraction at the state fair is the plan
of the management of the North Da-
kota state fair in Grand Forks this
year.
The plan proposed is a bold one. and
a big departure from teh usual order
Of things, but it is anticipated that
the patrons of the fair will be well
pleased at the idea.
Instead of maintaining the time
worn midway attractions, it is the
plan of the association to stage a big
show every evening during the fair,
putting it on in front of the grand
stand, and insuring a programme Of
events that will be at once pleasing
n satisfactory to all.
Leaves a Bad Taste.
That the midway attractions, if they
can be termed attractions, usually
leave a bad taste is the expression of
many. The fair patrons, for want of
some other place to so to, will make
the lane of amusement places main
tanned by a carnival company, and
the results are not always satisfactory
N1OAN0AS -
With this fact to be taken into con-
sideration, the fair management of
Grand Forks believes there is a field
for a new enterprise, and that is why
they engaged the Irwin Bros. Real
Sheyenne Wild West show, which will
be the big attraction in front of the
grand stand every evening.
One admission price will give every
body a chance to see the show, and
it will be q programme of events we'll
worth while. All of the Objectionable
midway features are abolished.
Make It a Real Circus.
To make the evening performances
q real old time circus is the aim of
the fair managers. They believe that
this is possible, as the Irwin Bros.
organization is one of the most COM
plete of it's kind in the world, and 1t
has a varied programme of events
that will be interspersed with other
features that will combine to make the
entire attraction most remarkable.
Active work on the 1913 state fair
is being done every day and the indi-
cations are that Grand Forks will this
year have the biggest and best exhibit
ton for the people of North Dakota
that has ever been given.

NEWS OF THE NORTHWEST
WILD CAT AND
DOG IN BATTLE,

Charlson, N. D.. Feb. 14.--An-
drew Larson has a dog, and he
says that said dogs resourcefui-
ness as well as his gameness was
demonstrated the other day when
attacked by a wild cat near the
river. The fight between cat and
dog was fast and furious, the hon
ors seeming about even until kitty
got a firm grip on doggie's throat,
and the prospects began to look
rather dubious from his point of
view. Here is where he brought
his resourcefulness into play. He
made for the river and plunged in,
and by diving forced the cat TO
loosen it's hold, and the two COM
batants, after a prolonged battle
in the cool waters of the broad
Missouri, parted and made for OPP

MINOT men TO
MAKE PROTEST
PROPOSED INCREASE IN lNsUR.
ANcE RATES is NOT LOOK.
ED ON FAVoRARLY.

Minot, N. d., Feb. IA determin-
ed protest will probably be made by
the business men of Mfnot against the
proposed increase in insurance rates
on property in the city. which will
probably go into effect March /. s
The increase, If put into effect, will
mean an increase of approximately
$4,000 per year in the amount paid
by the citizens of Minot yearly in in
surance premiums and it is felt that
this increase is not justified by the
present conditions.
1t is probable that a petition will
be sent to the insurance companies
asking the reason for the increase,
and setting forth the willingness of
the citizens of Minot to do all in their
power to reduce insurance risks
around the city.
+. l.. Sherman, secretary of the
commercial club, said that he believed
that such a petition would stand an
excellent chance of favorable consid-
GRAFTON by the companies.
1t is pointed out that during the
last twelve years the companies have
been making a good profit under the
old rates. During a large part of this
time, moreover, the fire risks On much
of the property in the city were much
greater than they are at present.
The city has recently put in a $780,
600 water system which it was hoped
when it would be installed, would
tend to lower the insurance rates rath-
err than increase them.
1t is also pointed out that a num-
Der of strictly modern buildings have
recently been erected in the city and
1t, is difficult to see why the rates on
these should be increased.
On the Fair store building for ex-
ample, it is proposed to raise the
rate from 81 to $1.50 per 800 Of fin-
%surance, in spite Of the fact that the
Fair is one of the most modern and
fire proof buildings in the city.
Many other buildings on which it is
proposed to raise the rates have also
been improved until they are much
better risks than was the cas- form
erly.
Taking all of these facts into con-
~sideration, it is generally felt that
the increase at this time is not justi-
fled by the conditions in the city and
that a determined protest should be
made.
1t is possible that a mass meeting
may be called to consider the ques-
ton more thoroughly.
