MorriSville 59-Hardwick IL

The Morrisvile Town team made its
first public appearance for the season last
Wednesday evening by defeating a team
from Hardwick 80 to II. The game
was rather more interesting than the
score would seem to indicate but the
Hardwick banch was not fast enough to
make more than rafting good practice
for our boys. Manager Eaton says that
he has material fast enough to make a
championship team and provided games
can be arranged with professional fves,
will give the public something to talk
about in the way of past basket ball
The following is the line up for Wednes.

MANAGER GRIFFITH
DOUBTS WHOLE TALE
Doesn't Believe His Star Pitcher
Will Jump Traces to Play in
st. Louis.

Il don't doubt for minute that those
st. Louis Feds are dickering with Wal
ter Johnson said Manager Griffith to-
day, but I'm not worrying over it I'm
willing to give johnson more money
than any pitcher ever got in the his
tory Of the game, but I'm not going to
mortgage my bah club just for one man.
no matter how great g. player he may
be.
This st. Louis story doesn't sound
good to me, anyway. The club dropped
$4,000 last year. and must pay its debts
before going out with more money to
offer players. Furthermore, If there is
one city in the country where Johnson
cannot be at his best. it Is st. Louis.
He weakens rapidly under the heat in
St. Louis. much more so than in any
other city in the league. Even il he
were to jump to Jones club he wouldn'
be able to do his best work at home,
except in the spring"
According to advices from the Mound
City, Fielder Jones has gene to Coney-
ville. with a pocket filled with money
to give Johnson the moment he signs a
contract The Feds are said to be will
ing to give the star twirler $4,000 for q
three-year contract. Manager Griffith
is relying on Johnson's common sense to
remain in the ranks Of organized ball.
Johnson is believed to have been Of
fered $4,000 for the season of 1915 with
the Washington club.

LIFT OF THE YOUTH OF THE
LAND MAKE THEIR APPEAR

LIVES OF GOOD MEN.

Posters for the moral uplife of the
youth of the land have made their
initial appearance on Fargo billboards
this week.
These posters, the output Of the
Posting association Of Chicago, show
the lives off some famous men who
have lone the world some good. They
are intended for an inspiration to the
youth of the country so that each
young man and oma may devote
his or her life to some great purpose.
Last month these posters showed
the life of Christ. They also portray
incident in the lives of famous
characters in profane history. This
month they are portraying the life Of
General Grant.
The Posting association Of Chicago
is composed Of a number Of windy city

ing by this means to counteract any
Of the vicious advertising that may
have been issued prior to this to pol
lutte the minds Of the American youth.
Every town in the country over 5000
population is to be provided with these
posters.
