CENSUS RETURNS
= i. IN NEXT WEEK
Expected Returns Will Show
Mark Increase in State
Population. ~

Nhen the hnai figures on the state
census are compiled next week, it is
expected that they will show mark
ell increase in the population Of North
Dakota. The state law provides that
a state canvass shall be made every
ten years. This law went into effect
in 1905. The figures are compiled by
the assessors in every county, town
ship, village and city in the state,
and it is required that they be filed
with the secretary of state not later
than July 10.
No Accurate Figures.
Heretofore it has been almost i'm
possible to obtain accurate figures on
the state population. Past records,
which according to law should be fil-
ed in the state library, were in all
probability lost in making the trans
fer from the old to the new building.
A recapitulation of the returns will
be made in the secretary of states
office, and the record placed on file.
Expect Increase.
The last state census was taken in
1905. and 1t is generally expected that
the figures this year will show a
marked increase, especially in the
villages and towns.

Remarkable Combination Smashed
$1o0OO0 Ineld Will Pass Into History of the National Sport-Combination Broken Beyond Reassembling- Calibre of McInns Collins Barry and Baker Proved by Their Averages-Seven Ages of the Athlete.

If J. Franklin Baker. of the Philadelphia Athletics, adheres to his determination to drop base ball in favor of farming, Connie Macll's famous $10o,0o0 infeld will pass into that portion of history re- served for the national sport. Fol lowing closely upon the sale of Eddie Collins to the Chicago White Sox it appears as though this remarkable combination of players was broken beyond reassembling or rebuilding. McInnis and Barry remain, but the probability of finding among the Ath- letic recruits two players capable of filling the places of Baker and Collins and bringing the inf1eld machine up to it's previous standard appears extreme ly remote.
 A quartette of players of the cal ibre of Mc1nnis. Collins Barry and Baker playing for several years in succession in the same positions upon the same team is combination not duplicated in a baseball generation. Manager Mack was some years in as Senbling this hard hitting accurate fielding and throwing machine and it was not until the season of 1911 that the Athletics inner line of defense be- gan to work in it's most effective man. ner. Collins joined the team in 1907 and was followed by Barry a, year later. In 1909 McInnis and Baker also donned Athletic uniforms and the $100,000 infield was in the making.
 McInnis was still shifting about the

inner defense and Harry Davis was playing the initial base. In 1910 Me InnLs succeeded Davis and from that rfes of last season the qIartette work injuries tempirarily broke up the com bination. It was between 1910 and 1914 that the Athletics travelled their fastest as their record of winning four out of five pennants shows. The cali Der of the quartet is proved by the averages of the players in both batting and fielding for the period between 1909 and 1914. The regular season record was: Batting, .311: fielding, .95S and the worlds series figures: Batting .271; fielding. 95S.
 McTnnis showed an average for five years of .31S and .977: Collins for six years averaged .345 at bat and 963 in the field: Barry in a similar period hit .25S and felded .936, while Baker S average from 1909 to 1914 was 321 and .934. With Collins and Baker missing. Barry and McInnis are left as nucleus about which Mack must rebuild his infield. As batters Collins and Baker outsline McInnis and Bar ry for their combination average is .333 to .2SS. In fielding, however. Barry and McInnis average .9565 to .94S5 for Baker and Collins.
 The individual and infieId avera ges for both the regular season and worlds series. during the existence of this famous combination, are shown in the following tables:

PLACE FOR NEXT
 FOURTH DEGREE CONVENTION
Discussed by New Haven K. of C.. Men Whom John Nj. Lee Addressed.

Knights of Columbus men of this city listened to a very fine lecture on the fourth degree a few evenings ago when John NJ. Lee of Norwich. the master of the fourth degree of the state spoke on the work the members of the order are doing throughout the state and country.
 In the course of his remarks Mir. Lee told the members of a number of instances where the fourth degree is doing a wonderful amount of good not only locally, but in other parts of the country. He spoke of the va r1ous meetings and missions held for non Catholics and said that these were remarkably well attended.
 Following Mir. Lees address there was a discussion in regard to the plans which are now under consideration for the next state convention of the fourth degree. number of the mem bers spoke in favor of holding the convention in this city as it is con veniently reached from all parts of the state and because this event has not been held here in some years. Quite a number of the members. however, seemed to favor Norwich for the next convention and spoke in favor of that place. The decision as to where the convention will finally be held has been left to MT. Lee and he has stated that he will announce his preference in a very short time.
 MT. Lee is one of the most popular fourth degree men of the order and quite a large delegation of his friends and other members of the organiZa- tion were present to hear his talk. He is an especially earnest and convincing speaker and his address in this city was not only interesting, but inStruc- tive.
 At the same meeting the Rev. w A. keefe Of Piainfield, state lecturer de- liVered an address and he too was heartily received by the members. Father Keefe is HOW preparing for a lecture trip through the state, and esting talks not only on Knights of Columbus subjects, but also on Cath olicity in general.-New Haven Union.

Outlaws Held Meeting Saturday in Buffalo.

The Federal baseball league adjourn ed it's two days session at Buffalo Saturday and will meet in Pittsburg, March 13 By that time it was eX pected that the court obstacles pre- venting the transfer of the Kansas City franchise to Newark would be removed and the seasons playing schedule could be adopted. Other than to state that the opening games would be played April 10, four days ahead of the opening day of the Ma tional and American leagues, no off, cial announcement as to the schedule was forthcoming.
 Two sessions of the board of di- rectors have been held. The Kansas City-Newark dispute occupied most of the time of the opening session and the legal side of the proposition was discussed. President Gilmore made the statement that Newark would have a Federeal lea que team this year. and characterized the legal controversy as ill advised and unjust.'

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
SATURDAYS MARKET IRREGULAR Movement of Prices Upward at Open
 ing, Downward at Close.

New York, Feb. 27.-Irregular prices and moderate trading were the features of today's two hour session on the stock exchange. The movement was upward at the outset. followed by gen. eral declines and uneven close. Amal- gamated Copper was strongest of the active list, its rise being accompanied by rumors that large orders for the metal had been received from abroad. Other speculative favorites. including United States Steel, the Pacifcs and coalers, made only fractional changes either way.
 Foreign exchange was easier, the rate for London bills being slightly under yesterdays final quotations, while remittances on Germany repeat eed recent low record figures. It is expected that the coming week will the various markets for exchange. with further gold imports from Canada. Weekly trade reviews refer to re- newed expansion of business, partic ularly in the southwest, with increas- ing promise for winter wheat pros poets. Retail trade in most sections is expected to be stimulated by the first indications of spring weather. Foreign news of interest included despatches of probable Swiss loan by our bankers. The amount men toned is relatively small and if car
 
 ury notes. A more cheerful tone pre- vailed in London's markets, but the volume of operations there especially in Americans, was little more than nominal.
 This weeks bank statement fulfilled expectations by showing few changes of importance. Reserves in bank vaults underwent small contraction, with a |correspondingly light decrease in ex- cess reserves.
 Announcement that Western Paci- fic would probably default on it's bond interestsand that receivership proceed ings would be instituted against the road excited little interest by reason of the fact that such action had been foreshadowed.
 Today's bond market was irregular with total sales (par va1ue) of $1, ,13S. : GOO.

CAPTAINS OF BIG THREE
 AGAINST NUMBERING PLAYERS.
Subject Will Be Discussed at Second
 Football Meeting.

That one of the subjects of the re- cent conference between Captain Click of the Princeton eleven, Captain Mahan O. the Harvard football team and Cap tain Wilson of the Yale kickers was the numbering of players, and that it will come up for discussion again at a second meeting to be held very short ly, has been learned since the gather ing early last week.
 A number of things came up during the meeting relative to rule changes. the rights of the coaches, numbering g of the players and other details, every thing being discussed in an amicable way and most informally. It was not announced at whose instigation the meeting was called, but on all sides great satisfa ction was expressed that such conference could be held, for it is apparent to everyone that these sort of get-together affairs at which things can be settled will obviate the possi- pility of misunderstanding arising during the last few days before big matches.
 No official confirmation of Fudge Heffelfinger's appointment as coach of the Yale linemen has been announced as yet, in fact everyone connected with the football situation is silent on the matter. Heffeifinger is saying nothing, and Captain Wilson is mum, too.

Seven Ages of the Athlete.

Coach Jack Moakley, of the Cornell University track and field team, is working on & chart showing the seven ages of the athlete. Moakley has not yet completed his diagrams but is sure that Shakespeare efforts in a some what similar direction will be outclass- ed when he finishes his work. Moak- ley names baseball, football, track and field athletics for the youth and men between the ages of eighteen and twenty five. From twenty-five to thirty the athlete should begin to drop the more strenuous pastimes for those of less eXhaustiing effect For men be- tween the ages of thirty and forty the Cornell coach strongly recommends tennis From forty onward he pre- scribes golf.

DARIUS RESTA CAPTURED
 GRAND PRIZE AUTO RACE.
Italian Covered the 400 IA Miles in 7.o7.57.

Darius Resta, an Italian, driving a French Peugeot car, Saturday at San Francisco. won the renewal of the grand prize over the exposition circuit, covering the 100 1-4 miles in 7.07.57, an average speed of 51 1-2 miles an hour.
 Howard Wilcox in a Stutz was sec ond and Hughie Hughes in the Ono took third honors.
 Resta, the winning driver, had never before appeared in America, nor for that matter, had the particular car he drove, although one of the same make won the 1913 Memorial day race on the Indianapolis speedway. His machine. imported a few weeks ago, finished second in one of the most important French races last season.
 Resta proved himself a worthy suc- cessor to the wonderful European pilots who have thrilled American race spec tators in the past. He did not lead con- tinUally, but he was either out in front or within striking distance from the start, and toward the end he began to pull away slowly from his pursuers and finished with nearly seven minutes to spare.
