OLD JOSEPH KILLIAN
SLATED TO CAPTURE
FLAG FOR OSHKOSH

Joe Killian's Oshkosh club is 2 tC
favorite for the flag of the w. l
league. Kilian, the old Winona man
ager, made a good record at Oshkosh
He won the pennant in 1912 and 191:
and is anxious to repeat this season.
Here is tribute and at the same time
slam at Killian from the Wisconsin
State Journal:
"Killian is a wonderful minor league
manager-in spite of the fact that the
other pilots around the circuit are
loath to give him credit for knowing
more than they do. He keeps con-
venient connections with major league
baseball clubs-something but few
others do-and in this way gets the
cream Of their castoffs. Killian is a
driver. In fact he is too much of q
driver. Last year he ruined Dick
Cantwell, promising pitcher, by
overworking him. Once in the lead
Killian keeps his team going at TOP
pace until they cinch the flag"

SAYS VIRGINIANS ARE
FAST AGGREGATION

The Virginians are easily the fast
,st team that has visited this city
his year and Taylor is confident that
his men will make a strong bid for
the pennant in the Northern League
this season. They are all fast men on
bases and it is seldom any of them can
be thrown out on steal.
Taylor and his men left last even
ing for Grand Forks, N. D., where
they will open the season Wednesday.
A singular coincidence of the two
teams that battled yesterday is that
their leagues each open on the same
day, close the same day and both
teams are picked as pennant winners.
Their work will be watched with in
terest by many fans this season, as
their work on the local lot brought
forth much admiration from Musky
Journal.

WOODLANDS WILL

DULUTH, May Ton next Sun-

Gene of the first baseball game of the

will open an engagement with the Du.

Negotiations with this strong Me-
aba range team have been pending
or some time, the matter being finally
closed today. Inasmuch as the Du-
uth White Sox do not open their regu-
ar season here until Monday, May 49,,
'ocal followers of the national pas

aggregation.
Judge Brady, the we'll known base

In meeting the Woodlands the Hib

Not only will a large attendance o

The latter sat down for time, while
Unglaub and Cantillon talked over the
business matters of the team.
Finally Pugh broke in:
"Say, my name doesn't appear on
that list. Does that mean that I'm re-
leased?'
"It sure does," said Bob. That did
not satisfy the recruit, and he started
an argument which Unglaub followed
up, explaining just why he wouldn't
do. Finally Cantillon could stand it
no longer.
"Here you he roared. Don't you
know when you're fired. Pick up that
uniform and get to the duece out of
here!"
And Mr.. Pugh vanished.

MOOREHEAD, May 7.-While the
skies dripped yesterday and the Red
river valley gumbo in the two local
baseball parks added to itself new
sickness, local fans went about with
long faces.
Colonel Unglaub was feeling a lot
better after Tuesday afternoons
practice. His pitching staff showed
more life than it has done at any time
during the training season. In fact
they all were on their toes and show
ed not only, smoke and curves, but
plenty of ginger.
The whole team seemed to get into
the spirit of the thing and they "talk-
ed it up" and put as much zest and
life into the practice as if they were
already contending for the pennant.
The fans were delighted with the
showing the boys made in the game
against Fargo college. Although the
field was sticky and heavy, every play
went off with snap.
Colonel Unglaub loaned the college
boys couple of pitchers. Klontz
pitched six innings and he famed
seven of the Graingrowers. The big
HEAVIER put the staff on the ball and
showed that he has the goods.
II can't let a man go who fans seven
men in five innings" was the way
Bob Unglaub expressed his opinion Of
the work Klontz was doing.
For the last three innings Watkins
took the job throwing for the colleg-
ians. He also showed up we'll, de-
spite the fact that the leaguers were
out to slam the, pill. The final score
was 6 to in favor of the Graingrow-
ers.
For the Graingrowers Turner and
Rhodes were on the firing line, with
Murphy doing the receiving. Both of
the big Graingrowers showed real
pitching ability.
Unglaub has made change in his
garden. He played DeRose, the
catcher in right field and may keep
him there for time. DeRose is a
good sticker and the colonel would
like to keep him in the regular lineup.
He has two crack catchers besides De-
Rose in Murphy and Handschu.
It is Unglaub's ambition to have
the heaviest hitter outfeld in the
league. He has already two regulars
who give promise Of being near the
top in the batting averages. These
are Jack Doyle and Joe Weidell. Doyle
with percentage of 305 finished third
in individual batting last year. Weld
ell is the man who led the league in
batting two years ago.
If third 800 hitter can be secured
for the outfeld, the team will have
four sluggers of that class, Bob ing
laub himself being one of the most
feared batsmen in the Northern.

Fort William baseball grounds at
he Arena park, the future home OF
professional baseball team, is in the
making. The grandstand which will be
second to none on the Northern league
circuit, is moving along exceptionally
we'll considering the many inclement
lays and by tonight the first half will
be completed. Construction of the
stand should be finished Saturday.
After this work is completed the gang
If carpenters will be turned loose on
king up the fence, which is in d.
apidated condition at present.
1t is the aim of the directors of the
Fort William baseball and amusement
company to provide their players with
diamond that will be as good if not
better than any other on the circuit.
In order to accomplish this feat it has
been found necessary to drain the
entire field. The city corporation is
ligging a sewer from the grounds to
he John street sewer. A three inch
weeping tile sewer is being put under
he entire diamond and outfeld and
his will connect with the city outlet.
These sewers and drains will assist
materially in keeping the ground dry.
Even with a heavy rainfall it would
,nly take about half an hour at the
outside to drain the field.
When the players come home for
heir opening game here on May 81,
he Arena park will be in full dress.
It will probably be the best park in
he Northern league. Even the inter-
or of the fence will be decorated for
the season. This space has been con-
;racted for by the E. P. R. Sign COM
oany and this concern is sub-letting
he space for advertising. Practically
every business concern of the city will
have an advertisement painted in bold
'olors on the fence.

WORK OF BEES IN ORCHARDS
Il Has Been Proved That Little Honey
Gatherers Are Responsible for
Cross-PoIIenation.

It has been a matter Of doubt until
recently as to just what agencies were
responsible for cross-pollenation in ap-
ple orchards. It was thought that the
wind was a factor as well as the honey
bees and other insects. It has been
proved. however, that the wind has
very little to do in aiding cross-pollen-
alton. and that honey bees, wild bees
and other insects are very necessary
for the transference of pollen.
To determine the Importance OF the
honey bee and other insects as factors
in cross-pollenation, an experiment
was carried on by the Kansas expert
ment station under the direction OF
lanes w. McCulloch, assistant en-
tomologist. Wind was not considered
in the test, because it was found that
wherever apples were grown FAR rom
an apiary only small amount OF 1rult
was grown.
It was found that tame bees were
the predominating insects visiting the
flowers. They visited the trees from
early morning until SHUTDOWN. CLOUDY
or windy weather seemed to reduce
their number and they did not begin
flying until after the dew had LETT the
trees.
