A Players Viewpoint

A day or two ago we were discussing
the American and National League races
with a ball player of considerable acumen,
etc. He had this to say:
"In the National League 1t will be Bos-
ton and Chicago at the finish. with Chi
cago in front by a narrow shave. Bres-
nahan has his machine running smooth
ly, and he has the stun to win with The
Braves will make fight for 1t into the
stretch. but don't believe they can beat
out the Cubs.
"In the American League 1t will be
Boston. The Red Sox will finish in front,
with Detroit second. The White sox may
stick, but don't believe they can go the
full route. April May and June In base
ball are only the preliminaries. The grind
doesn't begin to show until July, and It
isn't until July that class starts in to
tell the story. But II I had TO make
a guess as to the next world series 1t
would be to pick the Cubs and Red sox."

Which recalls prediction made day
or two ago by keen observer of collegi-
ate sport--to wit: Harvard will wind UP
the week with clean sweep In all i'm
portant events. She will beat Yale on
the water and at baseball, But believe
1t will be the end for some time of her
victorious march. Next year the Fates
will switch back to Yale. and the Blue
will take It's old place in football as we'll
as on the water. While / have no pre-
tentious reasons for backing this state
ment up, the signs read that way to me
and the hunch is inclined In that direc-
ton. The long lane held by Harvard will
turn again next fall

The Men behind" the
New Fargo Auditorium

For years Fargo has realized that
as a convention town, it had outgrown
any hall or theatre in the city. Each
year when the Tri-state Grain Grow
ers' convention met in the city, it be-
came more evident that the city should
be provided with building that would
take care of this growing convention
and the large number of other meet
ings that are each year held in the
city.
Things like the auditorium come
through evolution rather than reWolu-
ton and for years an auditorium was
the matter of much discussion. How

that the matter was given serious con-
