Catcher Allen Will
Play Behind the Bat
for Fargo-M oorhead

= There is a fine, little, old rumpus on
in the stove league at present, all over
Nick Allen, the backstOp Of the Fargo
Moorhead team in the Northern
league. Grand Forks claims him. He
is on the reserve list Of the MinneapO-
lis Association team. and-listen Ger
:tldine!-he is going to catch for the
Fargo-M0orhead team in the North
Grn league next summer.
Discussing the situation, the first
important news regarding the Fargo
MUUrhead team that has yet been
made public, The Minneapolis Trib-
une says:
According to a report, originating in
rGrand Forks, Nick Allen, eX-Miller
catcher and at present Fargo Moor
head receiver in the Northern league,
has been signed by the Grand Forks
club.
In some unknown way the rumor
was spread among the baseball popu-
lace of the North Dakota town that
Allen, old Nick himself. was con-
WINGED that nothing but a FOrker con-
tract would be the proper thing next
season and as a result of all the per-
suasion affixed his John Hancock to
one of the papers with a Grand Forks
letter head. Very likely this all hap
pened while the stove league was IN
session down round the village store.

gentry until they really and truly think
that they have been landed a real
Christmas present.
Cantitlon Says No.
However, local baseball men, partic-
u1arly Mike Cantillon and Ed Dicken-
son, have a different idea Of Mr.. Allen
a%ppending his signature to anything
but one Of their own sweet slavery
epistles. Mike, although confined to
his bed, arose in his dignity and pa
iamas, anG said that if Allen has
signed any contract with the exception
of one of those with his, Mikes, name
rolling across the bottom of it, the
said contract will be shelved along
with Gavvy Cravath's. Joe Thinkers
and others who have seen fit to state
that the Federal league was there last
resting place. Furthermore, Mr.. Can
tiIlon was pleased to say that the hon
orable Nicholas is too good a catcher
to let slip away to some other team Of
the Burmeister circuit. Q
Dickinson Knows Nothing.
Ed. Dickinson, baseball business
manager and skating rink proprietor,
says that he has heard nothing to the
+ effect that Allen was going to the
I Grand Forks team. Mr.. Dickinson di-
ulge the information that he a
rendered Nick his contract but w
short days ago and from the look of

Had anyone signed Allen he would
have known Of it and consequently
thinks that the idea is not only imag-
mary, but says that it must have
come out Of the wild stiffness If East

Grand Forks Insistent.
Despite the foregoing. Grand Forks
is still insistent that Allen will play
there and in it's issue Of last evening
The Evening Times said:
Nick Allen will catch for the Grand
Forks baseball club next year., if his
name, signed to a Grand Forks con-
tract, will bring about such condi-
ton.
When announcement Of Mr.. AL
lens acceptance of A. J. Kavanaugh's
overtures to play with Grand Forks
reached the ears Of one Mike Cantil-
lon, head Of the Minneapolis baseball
club, that dignitary Immediately de-
clared it wasn't So"
But Mr.. Kavanaugh, who is in Min
pulls SpSIluIllS llO uOlludySI dS
sured The Evening Times over tele-
phone this morning that he had AL
lens contract all securely signed, and
would bring it home with him next
week.
Allen may have some trouble in
ducing Cantillon to see just how anx-
lous he is to play for Grand Forks.
Reports are that Allen is reserved to
the Millers, being taken out of the
Northern league and transferred to
the American association during the
final month of last season, the pur-
pose being to avoid the possibility of
Allen being drafted from this league.
Should Allen have remained in the
Northern, he would have been liable
to draft. by lower class leagues than
the association, as was the case with
Leverett, whom Cantillon left in this
league a little too long.
Reserved by MiIIers.
There were, during the final month
Of the 1913 playing = season, varied
reports as to h real standing Of Mr..
Allen in the baseball world. It was
reported that he had gone back to
Comiskey of the Chicago White Sox,
who had claim on him previous to
Cantillon. Now, however, it appears
that Cantillon will reserve Allen.
The question is one for settlement
between Kavanaugh and Cantillon,
and they probably will get together
at the Northern league meeting in
Duluth next Monday.
Allen, with the Grand Forks club,
would be about as acceptable a bit
Of property as local fans could hope
for He vas the classiest catcher of
the league last season, and would go
a long way toward giving Grand
Forks a winning aggregation.

S. DAKOTA SCHOOLS
Want TRACK MEET

Minneapolis Journal: The annual
business meeting Of the Minnesota
Dakota conference. called by. Pres.
Charles w. HochsreptIer, Of Huron
college. for jan. 3, 1914, at the st.
Paul hotel, st. Paul, is attracting
much attention among the South Da-
kota colleges in the conference, which
will be represented as follows: Uni
vyersity of South Dakota, Dean Mar
shall 1 McKusick; Yankton college,
Coach Homer III. Kerr; Dakota Wes-
Ieyan, Professor Jones; Huron college,
Prof. C. w. Hochstettler, AND South
Dakota State college, Coach Harry
Ewing, Coach Ralph E.. Nichol of the
Northern normal will be present, it is
understood, with a petition for admit
lance of the normal to the conference.
The location of the 1914 conference
track meet is causing much specula-
ton. Grand Forks, Aberdeen, Huron
and Sioux Falls are after it. The lat
ter city will likely receive the vote OF
the South Dakota members, due to
its central location. 1t is probable
that the city securing the gathering
will have to guarantee gate receipts
sufficient to pay the running expenses
of the meet, including part or all Of
the travelling expenses. This will ag-
gregate from $1,000 to $1,000.
May Prune Rules.
The eligibility rules may come in
for pruning. This will likely include
the looping of one years play on var
rsity teams while a student in the

dent. Competition by prep students
may be eliminated entirely.

Vibber-Gifford gave away about 400
fly-swatters last Saturday. "Gif" had
promised to figure out for US the num-
Der of flies which will be minus as a
result of his campaign, assuming that
each swatter will kill 1000 flies and
that each of these flies would have had
million children and trillion grand
children. So far, however, he has
failed to come through with the figures.
When one remembers, says an ex-
change, that in an ordinary column
there. are 10000 pieces of type, that
there are seven wrong positions each
letter may be put in, and there are
10000 chances to make errors, besides
millions of chances for transpositions,
he will not be too critical. In the SEN
tence, ITO be or not to be-" by trans
position alone it is possible to make
2,759, OPP errors. So you see the perils
that beset printer.
