Joke ON FELLOW TowNsMEN
After This, Mr.. TorpkIns Probably
Was No Longer Allowed to Act
as the Town Clock.

In a certain suburb there is a
road called Laurel Grove. Every
house in it is occupied by gentlemen
who earn their daily bread in the
city one way or another.
AT the extreme end, and furthest
from the station, lived Mr.. Temp
kins, a methodical person, who
caught the same train up every
morning and who left the house each
day at exactly the same minute.
SO regular was he in this respect
that the other toilers in Laurel
Grove we're wont to leave for the
station as he passed their doors.
One morning last week he passed
down the road, and though he was a
bit late, so established was his repu-
tation, that the other inhabitants of
the Grove simply thought their
watches were fast.
He sauntered in a leisurely way
toward the station, followed by the
usual string of business men.
Suddenly a whistle blew, while the
procession was still a hundred yards
from the station, and the train start
ed on its journey to town.
Tompkins lit his pipe and turned
down a country lane. He had a day
off.

given their last opportunity Of the
season to witness football game in

Valley City high and Fargo high Will
be the only attraction in either Fargo

ing hard in anticipation of a good
stiff fight Saturday. The Valley City
aggregation is reported to be Il strong
bunch and are coming up here with
the expectation of trimming the Mid

The high team however is going
better now than at any time this sea-

will send Valley City home with the
short end of the score.
All of the regulars will probably be
in the game Saturday as none of them
were badly injured in their big battle
with Moorhead last Friday. The game
will he played at Dacotah field and is

American Magnates for dove

CHARGES AGAINST
JENNINGS DROPPED
Mack Says He Buried the
Hatchet-Grifhth Charg-
es Taken Lightly.

Chicago, Nov. 5.-Club owners OF
the American league in their annual
meeting here put themselves on
record in favor of peace. but except
for expressing their sentiments indi-
vidually. and informally, they brought
no nearer the end of the baseball war.
Rumors that overtures had been
made to the Federal league by the
American through Frank Archam-
bault. part owner of the ground on
which the Federal play here, were
denied by the magnates. and the only
discussion in the meeting of the situ-
alton in the baseball world SO far aG
the Federals affect it. lasted only half
an hour. In that time every one OF
the eight clubs. through it's represen-
tative, declared for peace. but it was
the general opinion that peace can be
Federal league, not through its rec
ognition.
There is no room for a third
league" they agreed. and the elm
ination Of the competing clubs in Chi
cago, st. Louis and Brooklyn must be
included In any terms of truce.
AS for the New York club, Frank
Farrell, its president. arrived just as
the meeting broke up. and declared
emphatically to the newspaper men
that the Yankees are not for sale. 1t
was said, too, that no discussion of the
proposed transfer had taken place in
the meeting. but the desire Of the
league for better returns in the me-
tropolis was admitted.
Except that some Of the clubs had
as many as forty men on their pay
rolls and could not dispose of them
because of the fear of the Federal
leagues kidnapping" propensities,
there was no reason found to warrant
recognition of the Federals, the club
owners said. And so plans for dis
tribution of extra players among the
minol leagues in a way to assure their
staying where put will be left to Presi-
dent johnson and the minor magnates

Charges Not Pushed.
Manager Mack of the Philadelphia
club refused to make a formal charge
aEainst Manager Jennings Of Detroit,
who was accused of giving out the
news Of waivers being asked on Plank,
bender and Coombs. Mack said he
had buried the hatchet after COM
municating with Jennings and no
mere would ne said about the charges.
The charge that Manager Griffith of
Washington had informed the Boston
Braves Of the Athletics weaknesses
thus contributing to the defeat of his
cwn colleagues, was not taken seri-
cusly.

Philadelphia. Nov. 5.-When Con-
ME Mack made up his mind to get rid
of Bender, Coombs and Plank, he had
good reasons for his decision. In view

these three twirlers have practically
lost their usefulness for the Athletics.

Indian.
Plank will be turned loose because
he is getting old: while illness has
kept Coombs out of the game for two
years.
Edward S. Plank, the Oldest of the
three stars who are to be released,
has helped Connie Mack win three
worlds championships and six Amer
lean league pennants Although he
was born thirty-nine years ago, he
was still pitching the best game of
any of the teams moundsmen in the
recent worlds series.
Plank was born in Gettysburg, Pa,
in 1875, and after a public school ed
ucation. entered Gettysburg college,
While in college his pitching attracted
the attention of Connie Mack, who in
vited him to go to Philadelphia for a
tryout. This was in 1901. the Ath-
letics' first year in the American lea
que. His workout was thoroughly
satisfactory, and Mack began to use
him almost at once. From that time
on he became one of Mack's most re-
liable pitchers and he helped him to
American league pennants in 1902,
1905, 1910, 1911, 1918 and 1914. He
shared with Chief Bender the hon
ors Of five worlds series. three of
which the Athletics won, in 1905,
1910, 1911, 1912 and 1914.

st. Paul. Minn.. Nov. 6.-Both in

cheerful unanimity in the assumption
that the Gophers, having been beaten
by the Illini, are now not worthy of
further consideration in the Big Nine

have occurred.

This years Illinois team is one Of
the best developed in Urbana in the
last decade. The players know foot
ball and have enough knowledge of
the code to carry out their coaches
ideas. They can play the old game
and the new with equal success, and
unless the team shows a marked re-
versal in form. Illinois will give the
Maroons a battle which should be
