FARGO HIGH won
BY AN EYELASH

The high school game between Far
go and Moorhead proved to be one OF
the most exciting games witnessed in
the city this year. The final score
after playing off the tie was Ia to IL.
The first half ended with the score
tie z to z and the second half ended
with the score II to II. when Referee
upshaw announced that the team get
ting the first two points would win
the game. At this point the game be-
came most exciting. The players
were all on edge and as soon as they
got the ball In their possession they
would shoot. A foul was called on
Moorhead which was shot by Mel
choir of the locals. After some more
fast playing, Murray of the Midgets
Gagged the ball for the winning points.
The game was featured by the close
guarding OF both teams and by the
inability OF both teams to find the
basket. The teams were evenly
matched and during the second half
1t would have been hard to tell which
team was going TO win. The team
work was fine, there being no individ-
ual playing or hoggiag OF the ball, and
lie either team had been able ito cor
two baskets in succession they would
have won the game.
Moorhead will play a return game
with the Midgets next Saturday even

the floor will be larger and the light

TO PLAY GOPHERS
AGAIN NEXT FALL

Grand Forks. ~. D.. Feb. i2.--The
North Dakota university football team
undoubtedly will meet the Minnesota
university again next fall. Saturday,
Oct. 8. is4the date tentatively agreed
on.
The Minnesota schedule first has to
be approved by. the athletic board OF
control, but, considering the fact that
the date was offered by athletic au-
thorities{ Of that institution, there is nc
doubt that the Tlickertail date will
be approved.
When the Minnesota tentative SEIZED
nle first was announced, it included no
game with North Dakota. This was
doubtless due to the fact that the ar
rargenaefts with several ohe insti-
tutiors were not complete. Nebraska
for instance, refused to sign with thu
Gophers unless the latter agreed tic
play a return game the following year
1t liz believed one Of the universities
has been dropped from the Minnesota
list and North Dakota substituted.
The local athletic authorities were
anxious to sign for another game with
Minnesota, for they believe the team
can make a much better showing mex,

COACH WATKINS PLAYERS AT
FARGO COLLEGE WILL MEET Y.

MORROW EVENlNG-FuLL LINE
UP UNDECIDED.

Tomorrow night the local Y. M. c. A.
team will toss baskets against Coach
Watkins players at Fargo college, and
from the present prospects will likely
come away with the big end of the
score. Coach Henderson has been
working his men hard in preparation
for this one game, and the men are
anxious to slip one over on the college
boys. .
The Fargo college lineup is not yet
decided upon. Several Of the men are
in very poor condition, and will be un-
able to do much in a game. Coadh
Watkins is not at all optimistic over
the prospects but will run his reserve
men to the limit.
The Y. will invade Fargo college
with a strong aggregation. Captain
Nesbit will be in the lineup as we'll as
Art Comstock. These men at guards
will make it interesting for any team.
The squad is composed of G.. j. Moen,
Harold Shaw, r. P. Beard, P. Peter
son, Bellefeuilli, M George Knox
With this fast bunch of players
against them, the college on the hill
will have a rea contest.
This morning Coach Henderson
said: I'VE are sorry to hear Of the
crippled condition Of the college team,
The Y. boys have been getting ready
for this game, and were anxious to
meet the very best the college had. We
have no hopes Of running up a very
big score against the college team, but
ought to be able to make it interest

Boise, who played against the A. c.
last Saturday, has been in bed since
with a. light attack Of tonsilitis. He

About the time of the A. C. game
Wade Murray began having trouble
with his feet, apparently from broken
down arches. He was out for a little
shooting last. night, n may be able
to get in tomorrow night. He has been
under the care of a doctor. Peterson,

Pres. c. w. Murphy last week in
which Evers was criticized. So far
as can be learned there has been no
recent quarrel between Murphy and
Evers. But it is known by those who
were in touch with Cub affairs last
season that Murphy had several con
troversies with his manager. It is be-
lieved that only the success Of the
Cubs for the last six weeks or two
months Of the season prevented the
discharge of Evers at the end or even
before the close of the season.
Long before the season was over
Evers conf1ded to some of his friends
that he was manager in name only be-
cause he dared make no move OF any
consequence without the sanction OF
Murphy. He explained that his finan-
cial condition compelled him to stay
where he vas
Feds Will Bid.
Two Of his former team mates who
now manage Federal league teams,
Joe Tinker of Chicago and Mordecai
Brown Of st. Louis, will bid for Evers
if he. becomes a free agent. Brown
has already made him an offer.
Eyers has expressed a desire to play
again with Frank Chance, his old man
ager, hut the latter is bound by base
ball etiquette not to discuss a situa-
ton like this.
Tinker last night received a message
from Charles Weeghraan, owner of the
Chicago Federals, who is in New York
with Pres. J. A. Gilmore, to hold him
self in readiness to start east. Should
it be found that Evers' contract has
been violated these three would be on
the ground to negotiate with the much
nriZed second baSen1an.
The first intimation that Murphy in.
tended to dispose Evers came las
Friday afternoon when he discussed
at some length the advisability Of hav-
ing a bench manager instead of one
! playing In the game, and closed his
discussion by saying Eyers' bad judg.
ment had enabled the White Sox tt
defeat the Cubs in the fall series o1
1913. All. that time President Murphy's
talk was about as follows:
There are three types of managers
the nan who manages and plays III
the game as Chance did in his best
days. the mar who manages for the
coaching lines as McGraw and Gala
han do, and the man who manages
from the bench like Connie Mack and
George Stating. Evers is a great bal
player, but too irapulsivc to be d man

|EVERS DISMISSAL
CAUSED RUCTION

New York, Fec 12.-The deposition
OF Johnny Eyers as manager Of the
Chicago Nationals by Charles w. Muir
ply, owner of the club, for the moment
has sidetracked the important consid-
aration that has brought SO many base
ball men to the city, the menace Of
the new Federal league.
The national commission members,
Ban Johnson, August Herman and
John K. Tener, Were apparently so
much perturbed at the news, coming
as it does at so critical a time in base
ball affairs, that they met informally
and discussed the matter late Tues
day, night. No public statement was
made after the meeting, but it was
known that Evers will SO before the
commission In the next day or two
with his contracts.
Governor Tener, presidsn: of the Ma
tional league, said that he would study
the contracts held by Evers and that
the player-manager would get justice.

The mission or President Gilmore
and His associates of the Federal
league today remained as much a.
mystery as when they left C ergo on
Monday. President Gilmore says it is

leagues are planning a. campaign TO
prevent invasion Of their territory by
the new organization.

day TO adopt a playing schedule for.
The opening dates will probably CO.
incide very nearly with those ANNOUNCE
ed yesterday by the National league.
The deal whereby the Jersey City
club Of the International was to have
been transferred to Brooklyn to offset
the talked of invasion of that city
by the Federal league, was declared
off by President Ebbetts of the Brook
.lyn Nationals.
Among those who have signed con
tracts to remain in organized baseball
during the last day or SO are Roy MIL
Ter with Cincinnati: George Chalmers
with the Philadelphia Nationals:
George Tyler with the Boston Nation

the W~ilkesbarre team of the New York

showed the best form Of the season.
and throughout the contest had the ad-
vantage over their opponents.
The locals showed both speed ana ex-
cellent team work, but the Flickertails
early in the game were able TO solve
the combination play. The visitors
gained an early lead which they stead
lily increased as the game progressed.
The team work Of the visitors was

form, the combinations were pulled OF
