the mountain side when he heard
something running and when the
object came in sight it was a sheep
coming down the mountain with a
huge eagle on its back with his
talons planted in the sleeps wool.
Finally in running through the brush
The eagle was torn off. Deprived
of that prey it flew back upon the
mountain to come down few MIMI

would not have believed it hadhe

FOOTBALL AT
GRAND FORKS

Grand Forks, N. D.. Aug. 12.-With
six stars of last years championship
aggregation probably eligible for the
Grand Forks high school football team
of the coming season Coach Hurry Up
Heinie" O'Keefe believes that the local
bunch have a good chance of repeating
their former success.
Practice will begin as soon as
school opens which. is Sept. IS. The
opening game will probably be with
the state university. While no definite
arrangements have been made as yet,
it Is probable that high school teams
of Duluth, Grafton and Fargo will be
met on the local gridiron during the
season.
The team will be headed this year
by Captain "Chuck" Dryden. He will
probably occupy the fullback position
and is expected to prove even faster
than last year.
One of the most important changes
ut present contemplated Is he shift
ing Of Rheinhold Jacob. from center
to the back field. Jacob stood head
and shoulders above the other CEN
tiers of, the state last year, and Coach
O'Keefe believes that he will prove
sven more valuable at one Of the half
back positions.
A considerable boost was given to
the football prospects of the local
school by the news that Lukkasen,
who ran away from all his opponents
at end last year wonld return to

in THE REALMS OF SPORT

school. 1t is understood that he is
eligible for the team.
Roy Carter will again appear at
quarter, and William Elton will be
played at either end or guard, which
were the positions he filed last year.
NOrdlund will also hold down n of
the guard positions If he can get his
studies in such shape as to be eligible.
Frank Duggan and Bud" Dow who
were substitutes on last years n
of world beaters, are expected to
prove strong contenders this season
for places on the regular lineup.
Bank, a former East Grand Forks
star who will enter school this fall,
is expected to put up a strong fight
for one of the halfback places, while
Harold Collins, a star rack man may
hold down one Of the ends.
The chief holes in his line which
Coach O'Keefe must fill will be those
at the two tackles left vacant by the
graduation of Willett and Griffin. John
Dinnie and Roy Spriggs are among
the possible candidates mentioned for
these places.
While the line plunging of Roy
Ferguson and the long spirits Of Lyle
Helmkay around the ends will be
missed during the coming season
, Coach O'Keefe has every hope that
among the present bunch of blackfield
candidates he can find several in every
way ADEQUATE to filling the vacant
| places.

No Yacht Race This Fall

New oYrk, Aug. 12.-In Wet of the
grave conditions in Europe, the New
York Yacht club does not consider it
proper for the races for the Americas
cup to be held this October. G. a.
Cormack, secretary of the club, so ca
bled to H. L.. Garrett of the Royal VI
ster club, through which Sir Thomas
Upton sem his challenge. Mr.. Cor
mack's cable message read:
1--WE regret that in view Of the
grave conditions due to the war we do
not think it proper to race in October
We are willing to postpone the series
until 1915, subject to further negOtia-
tiOns as to date. We request q cable
reply as soon as possible"
This Cablegram was in response tC
one received from Mr.. Garrett on Sun
day suggesting a pOstponement of the
races until next year If war was still
in progress a month after the Septem-
Der dates.

INCREASED EXPENSES FOR THE
BASEBALL MAGNATES THIS YEAR

to have up-to-date parks built. The
management of the Brooklyn National
league club realized this, and Ebbetts
field replaced Washington park.
Twenty-tive-cent and 50-cent seats
generally had to give way to 75-cent
and 81 admissions, to provide the kind
of baseball the public desired, n the
fans were willing to meet the in
crease.
Nowadays a club which does not
have a steel and concrete stand &C
c~ommodating from 10000 to 10000
persons cannot be a money maker, for
it cannot seat enough people to Jay
expenses. 1t seems, howevel, that a
limit has been reached and that the
big leagues will have to crash n
tendency to increase expenses.
In many cities there has been a fall
ing off in attendance this sen son, de-
spite the close races in both the Ma
tional and American league races, One
reason for this, it seems, was the mis-
take made last spring of giving high
salaries to some players. Most mag
mates have seen fit to see that the men
were properly reimbursed for their
services without letting the public into
the matter.
However, the Federal league her
aided with brass bands the none it
was giving to Tinker, Seaton and 9TH
err jumpers, and the public realized for
the first time that the men who were
playing baseball were receiving much
larger salaries than those who paid
admissions to see them perform. This
has sickened many loyal fans Of other
years, and many have decided that
they will keep their money and stay
away from the games. This does not
| apply to Brooklyn, however.
If the Dodgers had had Z fist divi-
sion team, and the weather had not
been so unfavorable, there is no doubt
that Ebbets field would have been well
filed day after. day, and o~vercrowded
on Saturdays. AS it is, the fans have
been loyal, because they realized that
the Robins were capable of putting UP
a close battle, and that the contests
would be worth seeing. The week day
attendance has been fair when the sur
shone,- while on Saturdays there are
usually from 5000 to 10000 at the
game.
Despite the falling off in attendance
in some cities, however, there is nc
| chance of baseball losing its hold or
the people, as some have feared, anC
in a couple of seasons things will right
themselves.

Running a big league baseball team
Is a different proposition now than it
was a quarter of a century ago. Then
a park that accommodated 10000 per-
sons was considered immense. No
team thought of carrying more than
a couple Of extra players. The man
ager had no assistants, and there
were no trainers to look after the men
who developed charley horse or a
glass arm. The tWirlers and CATCH
ers had to be all-around players. If
the first baseman was laid up, a
catcher generally had to substitute
for him, while a twirler always filled
in when an outf1elder was incapacitat-
ed. No fabulous salaries were paid
and the baseball player was not the
aristocrat he is today.
AS new ideas were introduced in
baseball, the expenses began to climb,
and means had to be found to provide
the wherewithal to pay the extra
bills. From three or four tWirlers at
the most, teams began to carry five
and six and his year the Brooklyn
Nationals have nine pitchers on the
roster. Two catchers were consid-
cred enough in years gone by, while
at present no manager would consider
himself properly equipped unless he
ndu dL lSuSC l CO. WHY SAN1N
carry -four.
No longer will a pitcher or a catch
er condescend to act as a utility in
fielder or outergardener. Extra men
have to be provided for this purpose,
which means that five or six men cap
able of filing in in case n of the
basemen is injured, and four or five
men who can play the outfield. A good
strong pinch hitter has to be included
in the payroll. Another essential is
an assistant manager. while a trainer
or two is another necessity.
Until this year, in order to put a
limit on the expenses, the maximum
number of men that could be carried
was twenty-five, but because of the
invasion of the Federal league, the
limit had to be taken off, so as to
prevent the surplus players from quit
ting organized baseball. Consequently
some teams are burdened with thirty
or more players, every one of whom
receives as big a salary as the man
ager of a couple decades ago.
The income from the small parks OF
DAYS gone by could never have covered
the expenses of running a modern ball
ulant. The only thing to be done was

PITCHER DONLEY
SOLD TO SAINTS

Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. 12.~-Pitch-
er Donley of the Grand Forks tan club
has been sold to the st. Paul club of
the American association. He goes
to the Saints the day the Northern
league season ends, according to an
nouncement made by Manager Wheel
er.
Donley has been a great worker for
the Grand Forks club during the pres
ent season, working in more games
than any other pitcher in the league,
and he has won a good percentage OF
them.
Donley should be able to make the
grade with the Saints for the remain
der of this season, as he has shown no
little ability around this circuit, and
there are a whole lot of people who re-
gard the association as being little
above the class of ball that has, for
the most part, been staged in this re-
giOn.
