NORTHERN LEAGUE
MEETS ON SUNDAY

Minneapolis. March IA meeting
Of the new Northern league will be
held at the West hotel in Minneapolis
Sunday afternoon. At that time the
playing schedule may be adopted and
1t will be decided definitely whether
Winona will be granted a franchise in
the loop.
It is almost certain that the Fort
William.Port Arthur combination will
not be tried this year. Inasmuch as
the twin ports are OF the main trav-
eled roads, and their presence in the
league will mean a great deal more
mileage than for Winona, the Ca
madam twins will hardly be admitted.
They are located on the north shore
Of Lake Superior.

We're played in the gymnasium last ev-

seniors by a score of 81 to 8. While
the score seems to indicate that the

BY far the best game in the series
was the contest between the sopho-
mores and juniors and the latter team
lost by a score of II to 10. The teams
were tied a number Of times during
the game and there was great excite
ment among the rooters for several
minutes. The freshman team has
beaten the juniors and seniors and the
championship now lies between the
freshman and sophomore squads. The
lineup for the second game follows:
