If Vic Safer of the Cubs should make as many home runs during August and September as he did during July, he would pile up more fourbaggers than did his m-mate-Frank wildfire Schulte-- when Schulte was going after Buck Freemans record and winning a Chal- mers car three seasons ago. The Chicago first baseman last month sent the sphere .hurtllng through space for six round-trip wallops getting a brace of homers on July off Phil Douglass of the Reds and touching Bob Hermon of the Pirates, Christy Mathewson of the Giants and Dick Rudolph and Otto Hess of the Braves for circuit elouts ere trial balance day arrived
 Safer failed to hit for the grand tour during April but in May he rid his sys- tenn of three four-masted drives, an ex- ploit which he duplicated in June His record for August. the last Sunday, was one four-f -furlong slam. made off Chrlsty Mathewson, who has allowed more homers this year than any other National league hurler.

 Safer still has to do business with the Brooklyn boxmen before he equals Ora vath's record of making homers in all seven series. By an odd coincidence the home run king or 1913 had an awful time striking a four-bag blow in contest with the Superbas last season, not doing so until September 2s.
 The pitchers Safer has made most of his home runs off this year are those employed by John J. McGraw. Vic has jared Mathewson for three loop-the-loor clouts, Fromme for one.

DIRECTORS TO MEET
 AND DEVISE MEANS OF BATTLING FEDS

"HE vanguard of the Southern
 league directors arrived yester-
 \ day for the meeting or the league directors this morning. A. J. Heineman, president of the New or leans club, and M. P. Wilcox, presi- dent of the Montgomery club, put Tn their appearance yesterday and wit messed the tail-enders administer drubbing to the leading Barons.
 Nothing of a sensational nature IS expected when the moguls convene at the Tutwiler hotel this morning at 10 o'clock It is not believed that Kay anaugh will present his resignation to the directors, although it is known that he is not especially fond of the heavy responsibilities of such posi- ton. Kavanaugh is recognized as one of the biggest men in baseball and was seriously considered by the National league for the first executive when Lynch was deposed.
 President Heineman is strong for Kavanaugh. Judge Kavanaugh is one of the greatest men in baseball,' the New Orleans director said yesterday, and I do not believe that he has an idea of resigning. One thing is cer- tainty. He has my vote for life. Were Kavanaugh to leave the Southern it would be the beginning of the end of the league
 Representatives are expected from every club in the league, although it is not known whether Mobile will have a director present. o. B. An drews of Chatanooga. F. E. Galloway of Atlanta. Russell Gardner of Mem phis, C. Shropshire of Nashville, are expected to join Presidents Heineman and Wilcox in time for the meeting. Rick Woodward will represent the Barons as President R. H. Baugh is out of the city.

magnates will definitely decide the salary limit for 1915. so that the man agers may sign players before the close of the season for the next year. In this way the minor leagues may prevent raids by the Federals.
 Montgomery will not surrender it's franchise next senson. Prcsi- dent Wilcox stated yesterday that he did not entertain any action in regard to the disposal of the Montgomery club. An agreement was reached last year whereby the merchants of Montgomery would guarantee n certain attendance for the season if the owners of the Biliikens would agree to retain the franchise for the two following years.
 This means that the Billikens will be in the Southern next year. President Heineman of New Orleans offered the Montgomery officials SlS,00o i'y cash for the franchise at the last rlseting of the league, but the Montgomery of ficals were powerless to act on &C., count of the agreement This elimi mates any chance for change in the circuit for 1915.
 The Southern is enjoying a season of prosperity. Birmingham. Memphis, At lanta and Nashville are expected to close the season with profit. Mobile. New Orleans and Chattanooga will break even, while Montgomery alone will lose a considerable sum. This is especially encouraging since baseball is having one of its leanest years in history.
 A protest probably will be made against the plan of the national com mission to prevent minor league club from gaining the purchase price in event the minor league player does not report. Fielder Jones' statement that the Federal league would attempt to plant a league under orders of the outlaws win probably be discussed by the moguls.
 The meeting is not expected to, con sume time of an extended stretch and the magnates will probably wind up the conference by attending the clash at Redwood in the afternoon.

M'NAMARA MAKES BEST SHOWING IN
 ELIMINATION ROUND
Boston Player Surpasses Showing of Barnes On Preceding Day-C. w.
 Hall Qualities

Chicago, August 19-Tom McNamara of Boston today played the best golf exhib- tied in the elimination rounds for the na- tional open golf championship at Mid lothian, making an evenly balanced score of 1i5, as against the 146 made by James Barnes of Philadelphia yesterday.
 The surprise was the poor playing of Charles Evans, Jr., western amateur
 champion, who took 79 for each round
 barely qualifying with 15s Evans won
 the western title at Grand Rapids recent
 ly with an average of 71 A wrenched
 ankle and the fact that he had not prac-
 ticed over the fast links greatly reduced
 his usually brilliant game.
 The gallery today followed Evans, as 1t yesterday followed Ouimet when he tied with Macdonald Smith of oakmont at 14s for second best score and conse- quently few, golfers watched Tom Mc-
 Namara top the field at 145.
 Barring missed putt in the last nine the Boston professional would have had four thirty -sixes. His putting was only fair but hole after hole he got what the professionals call a birdie, so that ex- traordinary work on the greens was not required to better par figures, which are 14e for double round.
 McNamara FavOrite Since he became prominent at Engle- wood as runner up to George Sargent, Me- Namara has been playing good golf and
 many professionals favor him to win the event this year. Today he made 19 holes in 4, 9 in and in 8, while many pro- fessional had to take sixes and sevens on holes that should be made in by ex- perts.
 J. J. McDermott, champion in 1911 and 1912. was not playing as well as usual, taking 155. R. M. Thompson of Glenridge,
 N. J., was second best today with 149. Six
 men made 151, four took 152. while half of those who qualified took 155 or more. As four men took 15S, those who today
 won the right to play in the finals Thurs day and Friday number 33, making the total contestants S. Of these eight are amateurs.
 1 Donald Edward of Midlothian made the | best amateur score. 152. His brother Ken
 meth was one stroke higher, while Jack l Neville, Pacific coast amateur champion,

More Eastern Farmers Arrive.

Morris Christensen Of 1ndepen-
dence, Iowa, who purchased quarter
section of fine land south of Minot late
last fall through the Brush-McWil-
liams Co., arrived at Logan few days
ago, with his family and a carload Of
stock, machinery and farming imple-
ments. He is now located on his farm
and is busy improving the same and
getting it ready for crop. Mr.. Chris
Jensen is a hustling young farmer
and of the kind that accomplishes
whatever he sets out to do.
Mr.. Amos Brehmer, from Illinois,
who recently moved up with several
carloads of horses and cattle for his
1880 acre farm Northeast of Minot,
has just arrived with two more car
loads of horses and implements, which
he has moved out to his farm, and is
now busy with his spring work. He
also brought with him a thoroughbred
Percheron stallion. Mr.. Brehmer his
been actively and extensively engaged
in farming in Kansas and Illinois the
past years and has made success of
it, and he states that Ward county
looks as good to him as any Of the
Eastern states. We are very glad, in
deed, to see such men as Mr.. Breh-
mer come to Ward county, as we know
he will be credit to the country.
Mr.. Gilbert A. Ness, of Greenbush,
Minnesota, with an immigrant car
containing six first-class horses, four
thoroughbred cows, and full equip
ment Of farming machinery, arrived
the latter part Of last week, and has
moved out to farm southwest Of
Minot, where he will make his home
from now on. Mr.. Ness is an up-to-
date and prosperous Minnesota farm
er.
The Brush McWilliams Company in.
forms us that several more such sub.
stantial Iowa and Illinois farmers will
move to Ward county during the com.
ling summer.
