MAJORS ALLOWED
rs PLAYERS EACH

WASHINGTON Feb. 1s.---During a
baseball campaign, the several teams
which comprise the big leagues are al :
lowed a total OF twenty-five players.
Some manage to finish the season with
a fewer number OF athletes, while
others are anxious to have the limit
increased. so that they may be fortified
against injury to stars and other
causes which would tend to reduce
the playing strength of the team
Last year the worlds series entrants
had twenty-five and twentythree
players, respectively. and everybody
knows that the managers of the teams
in question were we'll pleased with the
array of talent each had at his com
mand. Connie Mack, especially, was
not in need of any substitutes, as his
feat OF going through an entire world S
series without substitution will at
test.
But, instead OF presenting the teams
as they are now constituted to take
part in the worlds series after the
close of the championship season, sup
pose the leagues were TO pick a .list of
the best players from each league, as
regards their hitting only. and let 1t
be stipulated that not more than one
player with the same letter gracing
the start of his name could be chosen
for the honor OF playing on this So
called alphabetical team. which team,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.--From a
perusal Of the records Of each league
the interesting fact is cleaned that in
each league the same letters OF the
alphabet are without representation.
This would make each team carry
the same number of players, and how
many do you suppose each team would
have? Four letters only, are not
represented in the big leagues, by the
baseball boys. Those which have
been sighted are the is. as. US and
Ks Every other letter has one or
more representatives. and some, not
ablye the ms, have enough for sew
eraI teams
The following choices which have
been picked from the batting records
of each league, name the man high
est in each alphabetical division \
team. not only of great hitting pow
ers could be put on the field from
these selections, but the players pick
ed are those who could be moulded
into a great team from defensive
standpoint.
For instance. the American leagu-
ers could line up with Cobb, Speaker
and Jackson in the outfield, with Me-
Innes. Iajoie, Baker and Derrick in
the intield; with such substitutes as
HenrikAen. Pratt. Yerkes and Zeider
on the bench. For catchers the Amer
lean leaguers would have to worry
along with O'Neill, Thomas and Nun
namaker, It is In the pitching depart
ment alone, that the Ban johnson
charges would be weak, Ray Fisher,
of the Yankees, being the only finger
to qualify at the head of his CLASS
The National leaguers would have
pretty sweet team also. Daubert,
Eiox. Tinker and Mcdonald would
cover the inner works. with an ex-
ira infield composed of Konechy, Ev-
ers, Fletcher and Zimmerman sitting
on the bench for relief duty. Their
catching staff would consist of only
one man. Tom Needham. In the mat
ter OF pitchers, they would outshine
the American leaguers, having Ad-
ans, Rucker and Yingling to fall
back on. To cover the garden pas
lures, Cravath. Cakes, Paskert, Walsh.
Hyatt and Brown would be available.
Taking the different positions of
the team which can be compared, the
American league would have the best
hitting outfield. for Cobb, Speaker
and Jackson have a combined aver
age of .376. The best the National
leaguers could do to rival this bunch
would be, Crayath, Drummond. Brown
and Walsh, who can muster mark Of

TRUSTEES DENY
THEY BROKE LAW

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 31.-Flat de-
NAL that any action taken by the
board of trustees of the North Da-
kota Agricultural College in connec-
ton with the merger of the North Da-
kota Better Farming association and
the experimental station subjects
them to the charge of misconduct of
office, is made by members of the
board.
The question has been laid before
Governor l.. B. Hanna, who in turn
has placed it before Attorney General
Miller for a ruling as to the sifficien-
cy of the grounds alleged as a cause
for removal.
c. E. Nugent of Fargo, Clark KEEL
ley of Devils Lake, George H. Hollis
ter of Fargo, Alex Stern of Fargo,
E. Jensen, of Westhope, and William
Weigel of Hebron, are the members
Of the board of trustees who are I'M
der fire, and who make denial of any
illegal transaction.
The alleged details of the merger
show that the $4,000 in contracts
made by the better farming associa-
tion, and assumed by the experimental
station, were covered by private sub
scriptions, aid from the government,
and aid from the counties in which
the work was being carried on.
By this showing, it is maitained
that the state was in no way affected,
financially, by the merger-the state
being exempted from heavy finan-
cial drain, as had been alleged.
The proposition made by the board
of trustees Of the agricultural college
to he board of directors of the better
farming association, is also made pub
lie. 1t deals particularly with the
methods of operating, and covers the
government of experiment station,
where, it is pointed out, the director
of the experiment station shall take
over full control, and members of the
faculty in that department, and the
extension department, and the farm
ers' institute department, were to be
made accountable to the station di-
rector.
Sensational charges that "big bus
mess" seeks a hand in college affairs
are secuted.

CHIEF GAME
WARDEN TALKS

E. B. McCutcheon, chief game var
den, sends out the following final warn
ing to deputies in this district, and the
same might be considered good advice
to those who might*be inclined to be
sooners.
NOTICE.
To all Deputies:
The season opens Monday, Sept. z,
Be on watch the day before, Sunday,
the 9Th to see that no smart fellow
puts it over on you. If you do your
duty these two days a great deal Of
unlawful shooting will be avoided.
There will be an average of twenty
five deputies in the field in every
county in this district, in addition to
several secret service men This
should put a crimp in to the violat-
ors. Examine all licenses the opening
date, see that every one has a license
that are required to have one. Ad-
wise all to get their licenses early.
Ignore receipts. If they have no Ii
censes, stop heir hunting. Arrest or
report to me. Watch the bag limit
carefully. The game is so big, fat
and lazy, as a result of protection,
keeping them from being much moles-
ted and not constantly on the wing,
that the bag limit should be easily
secured, SO watch that. The penalty
provided by law for excess is $40 per
bird. Yours truly,
E. B. McCutcheon,
Chief Game Warden.

THE BRUTE
At THE GRAND

Archie Miller announces another
feature attraction at the Grand Opera
House for Saturday evening. Daniel
Frohman presents Malcol Williams in
the leading role of that famous drama
e"The Brute" is a self made man,
dern drama of the clash of wills be-
tween a strong man and a weak wo-
man.
"The Brut" is a self made man,
wrapped up in his work, but loving
his pretty and delicate wife, and his
little son, Bobbie, with all the ardor
of his great nature. He has no time
to cultivate the niceties of life, and
his rugged exterior and lack of the
social graces often annoy his wife,
who loves luxury and secretly covets
the wealth and position her hard-work
ing husband is unable to give her. One
day an old sutton, now rich, crosses
her path, and renews his former adj
vances, in spite of the fact that her
husband is his best friend and utterly
unsuspicious of the state of affairs.
Influenced by the refinement of bear
ing and the delicate attention of her
adorer, she half promises that she
will elope with him. He hurries west
to dispose of his mine-holdings so
that he may be free to take his
friends wife to Europe. While in
Denver he is stricken with append
citis and dies after leaving his entire
fortune to the woman. The wife is
now crushed with remorse, and rea-
Lies, even in her grief, that fear of
her husbands discovery of her half
premeditated guilt is greater than her
sorrow for her dead admirer and with
this fact also comes the realization
that she loves her husband more than
she yer did any other man. How she
accepts the fortune bequeathed her,
how the unsuspecting husband finally
