NOTED LOG CABIN HOTEL HIT
Hostelry at Grand Forks That Shell
tered James j. Hill Has Been
Raced to the Ground.

Grand Forks, N. D.-A log cabin ho-
tel of two rooms, where James ]. Hill
in 1873 "bunked' with 10 other men,
has been RACED in Grand Forks. 1t
served as the first hotel in Grand
Forks, and sheltered Hill when he
was prospecting through this district
for the location of the Great North
ern railroad.
Night after night this pioneer hotel
was filled to the garrett" With hunks
arranged along the walls, the men
would be compelled to sleep in pairs.
Several times Mr.. Hill was guest at
this then frontier hotel. It served as
a hostelry only three years, and dur-
ing that same period 1t was the post
office. the stagecoach station, town
hall and town church.
The capacity Of the city's present
hotels Is just 1,40O times as great as
was that Of its first hotel, which 35
years ago was sufficient to care for
all that came to the state.

won sixteen out of twenty-one games
he twirled. He was with them the
following year, or up until January
Is, pitching over twenty games. Dur
ing the time he was with Meriden,
Ed took part in almost every game,
playing an outfield position when not
on the firing line. In those days Walsh
was some batter and won much re-
nown in this department of the game.
About that time Ed began to ask
himself whether he should pitch or
swat his way to fame. The ques-
ton was answered when the Newark
club of the Eastern league annexed
him. In that circuit Walsh sustained
his reputation as a regular glutton
for work. Outside of taking his reg
ular turn in the box, Ed was used
constantly as a pinch hitter and pinch
pitcher. 1t was as a hurler, however,
and not as batter that Walsh
blossomed forth at Newark.
At the close of 1903 the Chicago
Americans secured the name of Ed
Walsh to a contract. The first two
years with Chicago he made a poor
showing, but in 1906 he started the
career which has since given him the
title of iron man..
His best season was in 1908, when
he lead the league in almost every
department of the pitching game,
having eleven shutout games-full
nine inning affairs-to his credit.
That season he fought that never
to- be-forgotten pitching duel with the
great "Addie Joss Ed" lost out in
one of the greatest and most scientific
exhibitions of hurting ever pulled off
in any league. With fifteen strike
outs to his credit in eight innings. he
framed up record in that respect.
In 1910 Walsh made many remark
able records, pitching six overtime
games of ii, IA, Is, Is, 16 innings. re-
spectively. August 4 he pitched that
sixteen inning game
against the Athletics and Jack
Coombs, he and Jack going the
whole route to an 90 finish.
His pitching record is woven and
interviewer with such marvellous pitch
ing feats. Today he is considered by
expert critics to be the most valuable
pitcher in the game. Today he is at
the zenith of his power. With his
ma gnificent physique and strong right
arm he looks good to last many years
