Johnson Fears
Greed of Players
Will Wreck Game

CHICAGO, June l-Money greed on
the part OF players bids fair to be the
curse OF base ball. according to b. b.
johnson. president OF the American
league. johnson left for New York to-
day to take part in a meeting OF the Ma
tional Commission at which II is said
measures will be taken TO prevent the
Federal leagues threatened raid on
major players.
After declaring that organized base
ball will prevent by injunction any major
league player from appearing in a Fed
erai uniform. johnson said:
However. II there are. as President
Gilmore OF the Federals SAYS, forty
major players who are ready to jump TO
the Federals, l say let them jump so we
may know who they are and rid the
sport of men who are in the game for
purely mercenary reasons
1T is an awful thing for a player TO
boast that he Is in the game merely for
what he can get out OF H. He is serving
notice on the public that he Is a mere
hireling and win do anything for money.
Once let the public get imbued with the
idea that base ball players are ready "a
jump contracts or do anything else II
there is enough money in Il and they will
no longer believe that games are honest
They will soon believe the players car
be paid TO throw games. II this thins
should beep up bali players Will be glad
to play for g a game and pass the hat tc

On Thursday and Friday evenings,
March 18th and 18th, Father

perance cause. Father Zurcher, who
is the editor of Catholics and Pro-
hibition' a paper with which many
people in this vicinity are familiar. is
one OF the strong speakers on the
temperance platform today, and un-
doubtedly he will be greeted with
packed houses at both of his lectures
in this city.
Father Zurcher is a man of high
culture, broad learning and sweet
disposition, who has been doing
valuable work in behalf of the tenn
perance cause. He is spoken of
most highly by all people identified
with the temperance movement,
throughout the east and central
states He is noted for the courage
and force with which he handles his
subjects.

president of the meeting and intro
duced the speakers. He also gave
a very neat talk on the meeting and
what it sought to accomplish.
E. J. Delwiche of the North
Wisconsin Experimental Stations was
the first gentleman called upon and
his addresses related to the best
crops for the farmers of Northern
Wisconsin to grow. Mr.. Delwiche
is one of those convincing speakers
who holds the attention of his audi
ences no matter what his subject may
be. The farmers of this section have
learned that his advice on growing
crops in this section can be followed
and for this reason they always ap-
preciate his remarks.
Mr.. Delwiche was followed by
Manager Kern OF the Bayfield, Co.
operative association who talked upon
cooperation among the farmers. Mr..
Kern paid very glowing tribute to
the Washburn association and it's
manager and urged the farmers of
this section to stick by their associa-
ton to a man.
Roy Beebe, editor of the Lake
Superior Farmer, gave a very inter-
esting talk along different lines, but
his main theme was cooperation
among farmers.
On whole it was the best meeting
of the kind ever held in the city and
great deal of credit is due the
gentlemen who helped to make it
such a success.

To Diacuss Fair Proposition

A meeting is to be held at
Ashland on Friday of this week
at which the question of organ
izing bi-county fair association

ties will be discussed, Invita-.
tions to this meeting have been
sent to numbers of people in

meeting will be called at II
o'clock at the council chamber at

dinner will be served at the

meeting will be continued and
the question discussed. For
some years the Impression has
been growing that Ashland and

an agricultural society and have
one fair or place where the
products of these two counties
could be exhibited to a greater
advantage. If it is found at the
meeting that there is strong
sentiment in favor of one fair
