JUDGE POLLOCK FOR HANNA.


Judge Chas. A. Pollock Of Fargo,
who has presided over the district
courts of Cass, Trail and Steele coun-
ties for eighteen years, and is widely
known in every corner of North Dako-
ia, speaks straight from the shoulder
on the resubmission question, as it re-
lates to the republican nomination for
governor of North Dakota. He says:
"Any move in governmental affairs
which has for it's object the return Of
the saloon to the soil of North Dako-
ia, is fraught with the gravest dan
gers. When Mr.. Wishek declares in
the publicity pamphlet, just received,
that he is the logical candidate Of all
persons favoring resubmission, he
raises an issue supposed to be settled
by our people twenty-five years ago,
in favor of the home. This holiness of
statement on the part of Mr.. Wishek
is to be admired, because it leaves no
uncertainty as to the object Of his can
didacy. "
ut is not, therefore, as against the
man, but in opposition to that for
which he stands, that believers in the
prohibitory system of dealing with the
liquor traffic ought not to remain 81
lent, and should unite to cause his de-
feat.
No unbiased person can read the
daily and weekly press, and give even
scant study to prevailing conditions
without being fully convinced that
either Mr.. Wishek or our present able
and efficient governor, Hon. L. B. Han
ma, will be the nominee of the republi-
can party at the coming primary cleo
ton. 1t is no reflection upon the high
character and recognized ability Of
Mr.. Burdick, who at some time later
would make a good successor to Mr..
Hanna, to make this statement. The
temperance forces of the state, it
seems to me, should vote as unit for
the denomination Of man who has in
one term of service demonstrated his
ability to serve the best interests of
the whole people. Added to his char
acter as wise administrator he has
demonstrated a purpose to follow his
oath of office and see to it that the
laws are enforced. Because of this
those in favor of resubmission, as well
as those who are unfriendly in oppo-
sition to the governor. The loss of
that vote ought not to be supplemented
by the loss of further divided vote
among his natural friends.
Gan acquaintance of thfrty-three
years with Governor Hanna; knowing
as I do his home life and character as
a citizen of our city and state; believ-
ing that he is not only entitled to a re-
nomination, but that the best inter-
ests of the state demand it, and with
out his knowledge or approval, I ap-
peal to all republicans to unite lin
casting their vote for the renomiia.

primary election" Forum.

Prospective Land Buyers at Burling.
ton. A

Major Murphy, general immigration
agent of the 500, visited in this city
with his family over Sunday. The
Major remained until Tuesday when
he piloted number of land buyers to
Burlington, near which town he owns
some choice land. It was reported
that the special coach that passed thru
Minot was intended, for this city, but
it appears that mistake was made.
The Major explained that the prospec-
tive settlers were brot here from an
other source and states that no less
than two coach loads of excursionists
will visit the city within two weeks.

METEORIC RISE
IS BABE RUTH'S 5
Young Pitcher Jumped From
School to Red SOx IN
side Four Months

When George Ruth, at the age Of
Z. was sent to s. Mary's Industrial
School for truancy neither he nor
ony one who sobbed over his being
sent to an institution where boys are
made to behave had any idea that he
ever would be heralded from one end
Of the country to the other.
Yet in thirteen years Ruth has de-
veloped until today he is big
powerful fellow, with a heart like n
child and a left arm which during
the last four months has made the
whole baseball world sit up and pay
attention.
Playing hockey from school surely
will not bring the same amount Of
good fortune to every youngster who
do6ges the slate and desk. and. in
fact, II is doubtful If st. Mary's ever
will turn out another Ruth, despite
the fact that there are forty-three
uniformed teams at the school.
At St. Mary's a boy is not allowed
to play one position too long. He is
shifted around so that he becomes
accustomed to each job, and Ruth can
catch. play the outfield or hold down
first base almost as we'll as he can
pitch.
He just steps into the ball as con-
fdently as Iris Speaker and takes as
free a swing. And when he connects
safely he runs like a deer. He is a
husky hardened boy of outdoors,

Weighing 1873 pounds in his splendid

"Oh, I'm going out to st. Marys to

"Amateur!" shouted the Balti-
more owner, why they're a lot OF
professionals out there"
Ruth went to st. Mary's that after
noon and among other things gave
his former schoOlmates talk. He
told them how important It is for an
athlete to keep in good condition.

Johnny Castle Had Arranged
to Take Two Teams of
Stars to Europe

War in Europe probably meant
that the tour of Tri-state Leagut
players to France. Italy and England
bext September will have to be aban-
doned.
Victor de Journa, q Frenchman liv.
ing in Allentown, became so enthusi;
astic about baseball that he talked
with Manager Johnny Castle about
project to take two teams Of Tri-Stat(
players to the old world at the clost
of the pennant race. which ends La.

The Frenchman communicated Will
friends in Paris, who indorsed the
idea, and de Journa agreed to back
the tour. According to the terms, the
players didn't have to put a cent up:
but were guaranteed round trip tick!
cts before leaving.
De Journa agreed to remuneratt
the players for their services at the
rate of 500 a month each, with a per,
centage of the receipts. This looked
good to Castle and he Immediately
accepted. He decided to pick twenty
six of the best players of the league
Virtually, the entire Allentown team
agreed to make the trip, and of course
Castle would be in charge of it. Thef
Castle would select another team O
thirteen players and place one of tn,

BASEBALL DOINGS
APLENTY IN JULY
Last Month Was Marked by
a Succession OF Unusual
Events on Diamond

A series OF unusual occurrences
marked July in professional baseball.
Extra-inning and no-hit games and
accidents on the diamond we're
grouped within a few days, as was
the case just about this period In
1913.
Taking these unusual features by
dates, July II saw Clyde Milan in
collision with Moeller, his teammate
as both raced for a fly ball in the
Washington-Cleveland game, with the
result that Milan suffered a fractured
jaw. On the same day George
Weaver, captain Of the Chicago White
Sox, came into collision with DEM
mtt under similar circumstances.
snd was severely injured about the
head.
A no-hit, no-run game and a twen-
ty-one-inning struggle also figured in
the records of July H. At Pitts
burgh the Giants and the Pirates
played twenty-one innings. New York
winning by to 1. Rube Marquard
and Babe Adams, the rival pitchers,
twirled the entire contest. With the
exception of the twenty-four inning
game between the Philadelphia Ath-
letics and the Boston Americans on
September /. 1906, IL was the longest
game ever played in the major
leagues.
Three days previous the Hartford
club defeated the New Haven team
to 1, in a twenty-three-inning game
in the Eastern Association, which Is
the third longest game in profes-
sional baseball records. The twenty
six-inning contest between Decatur
and Bloomington of the Three
League, played on May 81, 1909, still
holds first place and the Philadel-
phia-Boston twenty-four-inning match
second position in the record of long
games.
Getting back to July II again
James Withers, pitcher of the Duluth
club of the Northern League. twirled
a no-hit no-run game against the
Virginia club of the same league
This is the third hitless game of the
Northern League this season. The
next day at Lebanon, Pa. the Lincoln
/ Giants, a semi-professional team
/ varied the schedule by defeating the
home club, % to 8, and incidentally
scoring eight home runs. Thre,
! players each got two circuit hits
Moving on to July 10, the records
show that the Wichita club of IN,
Western League defeated Sioux City
to 2, in twenty-two-inning gam,
which required four hours and forty
eight minutes to play. On the sam,
day at Long Branch, n. j., JOS
Acosta, the Cuban pitcher OF the sea
shore team, shut out the ST. Loui
American League Club without a hi
or run, scoring a 3-to-0 victory 4
which he did not give a base on ball
and had but twelve balls called OF

starter, but since then has raised him
until the twirler has been drawing
more than $3.50 for some time. Dunn
saw to It that George did not throw
his money away, for he took him to
a bank and opened an account which
Ruth is not to touch until he is of
age.
AS soon as Ruth reached Fayette-
Vile, n. c., the training camp of the
Orioles, he began to show signs of
natural ability. BY the time Dunn
was ready to play exhibition games
with the Phillies and the Athletics
Ruth was regarded as a wonder He
pitched against those teams and beat
them.
Eddie Collins, Frank Baker, Gabby
Cravath, Sherwood Mageo and noted
sluggers failed to alarm him. He
didn't know them, to be sure, but
from later performances he would
not have feared them had he known
of their prowess with the willow.
After returning from the training
camp he beat many other major
league clubs, the Giants among them.
Then came the international season,
and he has walked through his
| games. in most instances disposing
of the enemy without much trouble
He, as well as the other two
Orioles. has signed for three years
with Boston, and Ruth will get a
salary from the Red Sox which is far
more than six times the amount he
agreed-yes, almost felt ashamed to
take-when he signed with Dunn.
