SCHEME TO
GUST The FEDERALS

New York, Jan. 30.-Outwardly calm
and vocally un~perturbed. organized
baseball has not been as disdainful of,
the advances of the Federal league as
the clubowners in the National and
leagues have evidently
agreed to appear. 1t has been learned,
without the aid of a dictagraph-
that arrangements have virtually been
to plant" International
league and American association
teams , the various cities included in
the two major league circuits which at
present support but one club.
In this way the men behind organ
lied baseball feel reasonably certain
that they will make the breaking-in
task of the Federals SO hard and so
exp 1sive that the new organization
will be forced to pull down it's colors
and pass out of existence.
Planned in Secret.
It is said that the clubowners Of the
American, National and International
leagues and the American association
have secretly communicated and have
evolved an elaborate scheme for OPP
posing the invasion Of the Federals
Just as soon as ORGANIZED baseball is
convinced that the new league will not
encounter financial difficulties that
will interfere with it's becoming any
klnQ OIL d SlIOLS OppoSli5 1dCtol.
What these arrangements are could
not be definitely learned. 1t is easy
to surmise. however, that franchises
of the poorest teams of the two class
AA leagues will be transferred to such
cities as Brooklyn, Cincinnati and
Pittsburgh and any other major league
cities boasting but one team that may
be invaded by the Federals.
1t has been generally understood
that some such move has been afoot
f~r come time. Men in authority have
intimated that such was the case, but
it has now been learned in an indirect
way that the campaign Of opposition
had progressed as far as 1t is now re-
ported to have done. 1t was not ever
known that the matter had been form
ally discussed, but now it appears that
the Arrangements have been carried
on by mail.

Of the F'ederals has impressed organ

DAKOTA PIONEER
CALLED BY DEATH
CAPT. JAMES MATTHEWS OF
LARIMoRE, MEMBER OF NORTH
DAKOTA'S CONS TlTUTlONAL
CONVENTION AND CIVIL WAR
VETERAN, PASSED AWAY.

Capt. James Matthews Of Larimore,
one of North Dakota's oldest and most
highly revered pioneer citizens and a
member of the states constitutional
convention, passed away yesterday
while in st. Paul. .
The late Captain Matthews "a one
Of the best known men of the state of
North Dakota, having come here long
ago in territorial days before the di-
vision of the original Dakota.
He has taken an active part in the
u~pbuilding of the state and has always
beer a prominent leader in the prof.
ects that were for the progress of
North Dakota.
At the time of statehood, Captain
Matthews was a prominent member Of
the states constitutional convention.
and his demise at this time will be
noted with deepest regret just on the
eve of the twenty-f1fth anniversary
celebration of North Dakota's admis-
sion to statehood next July in Fargo.
1t had been planned by the committee
in charge Of the celebration to have
Captain Matthews take a leading part
in the reproduction of the constitu-
tional convention to be held here on
July 4 next.
Captain Matthews at one time was
grand commander of the North Dako-
ia division of the Grand Arm Of the
Republic, as he was a veteran of the
civil war and always took a leading
part in the celebrations of the old SOL
diers Of this state.
He was a native Of Ireland and came
to this country when a very young
man.
He was one Of the directors of the
Pioneer Lie Insurance Co., and it was
largely due to the captains advice
during the dark days of this institu-
ton that the stockholders were per-
suaded to continue their interest in
the company and put their shoulders
to the wheel and help make it a great
life insurance corporation as it is to-
day.
At on. time Captain Matthews was
a member Of the state fair board and
has served in many other capacities
He h11 MANI warm friends in this
city who will learn the news of his
death with much regret. The funera'
will be held tomorrow afternoon al
Larimore.

IN The WORLD OF SPORT

strenuous kick made on all Of the pro-
visions Of the new contract made by
the class AA leagues. The minors
were unwilling to accept the provision
that a fine Of $500 be imposed on a
club that made a side agreement with
a player.
In addition to the fine the player is
also to De automatically released and
be made a free agent. The minors
kicked on that point when they were
in session with the majors in Cincin-
natl. The players, however, have re-
manned firm.
Minors Had to Yield.
The minors tried to have the player
suspended for a siXty-day period be-
fore he became a free agent, but
President Fultz Of the Paternity held
out against that clause because it
would deprive the player Of the right
to earn his living for two months.
The minors were in no position to
hold out against the players at the
present time, because Of the fight that
is on between organized ball and the
Federal league. When President Fultz
issued his order to all minor leagues
to refuse to sign until he sent them
, word, the American association and
the International league were in a
dilemma that they had not figured on.
With the Federals looking for their
players and the order Of the head Of
the fraternity forbidding them to sign,
the club owners of the two minor
leagues were in a sorry plight.
A. A. Players Waiting.
When the American association
magnates met in this city last week
only a few of the club had enough
: players to start the season then. and
! some club OWner tried to put over
the proposition for all Of the members
Of the association to vote to pool their
players.
This would hardly do, however, for
it would rob the championship Mil
Waukee club Of some of it's stars and
break up the combination that had
come out ahead last year. Now the
club owners will be free to go out and
get their players into line.
1t will be a race between the men
of organized ball and the Federals now
to see which will get most of the
players that are still unsigned.

TRACTOR CLUB MEETING
Tractor Club Of Y. M. c. A. Held Meet
ing Last Night-Studied
Horizontal Motor.

Last nigh the Fargo "Y" Tractor
club held it's first regular meeting in
the auditorium of the association
building. This is a new and promis-
ing movement organized by the stu
dents of the gas tractor and auto
school Of the Y. M. c. A. It's purpose,
as expressed in the constitution, is to
promote social and literary activity
among the students.
The feature Of the initial meeting
a debate on the question, "Resolv-
ed, that the horizontal motor is more
efficient for general utility than the
vertical type" The affirmative Of the
proposition was upheld by Messrs.
Lindsay, Roger and Lapham against
Shaw, P. Ellison and Laudin Of the
negative. The decision of the judges
declared in favor Of the negative.
The superintendent Of the school, l..
r. Var ~Volkenburg, presented a cold
chisel to each member of the winning
team.
The club holds regular meetings
with a literary programme each week
and cordially invites all who are in
terested to attend. Announcement of
the next programme will appear later.

FARGO COLLEGE
READY FOR GAME
FARGO COLLEGE BASKETBALL
TEAM FULLY RECOVERED FROM
FRAY WITH UNIVERSITY AND
WILL NOW FACE MooRHEAD
NORMAL TEAM.

The Fargo college team has recover
ed in fine shape from the university
games effects, and is all ready to meet
Moorhead normal tomorrow night In
the normal gymnasium. The school
teachers can put up a plucky game in
their W gymnasium. n it is be-
ileved that they will give the Fargo
boys a hard run. Sims knee is some
what improved, but far from being in
running order. Coach Watkins will
be careful with him for some time,
n 1t is doubtful if he will play much
tomorrow night. Peterson and Thomas
Will probably do most Of the forward
work. Carpenter has appeared some
what disguised of late, with a large
cast on his nose. This was broken
in a mixup in the university game,
and will make it rather inconvenient
for Carpenter for some time. Haggart
Will not be in the game for at least a
few days. -
The next appearance of the locals
in Fargo will be Tuesday night when
they meet the Huron team on the
Fargo college floor. 1t is reported
that the visitors will come with a fast
bunch.
The girls team plays the Fargo
high school girls Saturday afternoon.

them the game.
When time was called last night it
was rot known until announced which
team had won. East Grand Forks has
a fast team although they were de-
feated. by Hillsboro, it being on a

dition for the game tonight. The same

far this year will play again tonight
and unless things slips before s o'clock
tonight the midgets hope to come out

it is willing to admit. Apparently
those within the fold" are beginning
to believe that the Federals have a
said they have behind them.
That organized baseball would not
stand quietly by and see it's precincts
entered without a fight, was a fore
gone conclusion. If this arrangement
is carried out it will be a severe blow
to the F~ederals, for the quality of
baseball played in the American asso-
citation and the international league is
but little below that maintained in the
major leagues. 1t is virtually the same
thing, and unless the new league can
do a great Zeal better than it has done
thus far in signing big league stars. it
will find itself severely handicapped in
the matter of capable drawing mate
rial.

NO PURSE IS Big
ENOUGH FOR GOTCH

New York, jan. 3O.-Wrestling pro-
motors here nave been trying for some
time to bring Frank Gotch, the heavy
weight wrestling champion of the
world. to New York for three bouts
with foreign mat stars. He was Of
fered $4,000. Gotch refused the offer,
and says he will never wrestle again.
From his Iowa farm, Gotch, in reply
ing to the New York offer, wrote that
he positively had given up wrestling
foreVer His wife and he had gone
over the situation. he wrote, and moth
ing will induce me to change my
mind"
The call of the foreigners and the
offer of big New York purses, he said,
will never make him leave his farm
again.
He suggested that Beell and Ameri-
Gus get together, and let the winner
defend the title, saying that he was
willing to waive his rights in favor OF
the better of the two.
Gotch says in his letter that his
business interests take up all Of his
time that he does not spend on his
farm. t..|. 49,.
