made many critics figure him even a
better backstop than his illustrious
brother, Wallie, of the Philadelphia

rate veterans with the greatest short
field defenders Of the day. He hits

other efforts and he fits wen into the
combination with Wagner finding q

Schang and Gerber cannot really be
included among this years crop, as
they were tried out in the fall Of last
year. Both, however, rather un'

chances in the South with the rest.

Anam00se

Balfour, N. D., Aug. 1O.-ln n Of
the hardest fought battles staged on
a baseball diamond this season in
the northwest, was pulled off at Ana
moose, Sunday, when the fast Balfour
team defeated Anamoose to the tune
of 3 to 2, in a Thinning game.
The game stood 2 to | in the ninth
inning, when by some timely Hitting,
coupled with two Anamoose errors,
the score was tied. In the fourteenth
inning Mcdonald singled; Cole next
up, hit to left field, who muffed, al
lowing Mcdonald to advance to third,
and scored on an overthrow to third.
The sensational feature OF the
game was the one.handed catch by
Mcdonald in center, in the ninth In.
ming, when all bases we're filed and
two men out.
Batteries: Balfour-Cole and Wey-
gandt; Anamoose-Saook and Love

Any major league club that lands
two first-class players from among its
annual crop of recruits can figure
handsome returns from training camp
investments.
Catcher Bob Schang and Shortstop
Walter Gerber are the two big finds OF
the season from the Pirate viewpoint,
and it is doubtful If any other club has
picked up material Of the same karat
as these two.
Enough was seer Of Schang and
Gerber in the fall to warrant big things
of them. Both have shown unmistak.
able signs Of becoming stars in their
positions. If Clarke does
not get another good man out of the
entire squad, he can consider the 1915
experiments the most productive In
years, for rarely does any club come
out Of a training season with a pair
of Kohinoors like Schang and Gerber.
Both we're badly needed in their re-
spective positions and both have made
good in every sense of the word.
Schang, according to no less an
authority than George Gibson, is the
greatest catcher that has been on the
Pirate roster in ten years. His speed

TO REMODEL CHINESE ARMY
Soldiers viii Be Equipped With unk
form Weapons Is Deciaion Of @
- President and Cabinet.

Peking.-China's military forces are
to be remodeled from top to bottom.
As a first step, arms Of the line regi.
ments are to be unified.
A most important conference has
just been held at the winter palace,
the residence of Yuan.Shi-Kai. There
were present, in addition to the presi-
dent and his cabinet and the highest
ranking military and naval officers,
several of the most influential Chinese
not officially connected with the gov
eminent.
Problems Of national defense were
touched upon in a brief speech by the
president, who made it clear that he
regards war as the greatest among ap-
parently necessary evils. His words
made a deep impression upon those
present, and in the discussion which
followed there was absolutely single.
mindedness in indorsing Yuan's posi-
tion. The conference decided that
new docks were absolutely necessary;
that the arsenals must be modernized
and expanded; that service in the
army must be popularized and ade'
Quately compensated; that coast de.
lenses must be established, and where
obsolete or inadequate. reconstructed;
and that naval bases must be provided
for North and South China.
The principal decision, however, was
that Of providing for the uni1cation OF
Chinese ornaments. The six army d.
visions, investigation has proved, use
ten or more different types Of guns. II
Is proposed to replace these with one
style which will possess the best fea'
lures Of the best modern weapon.

NORTH DAKOTA
SEED CONTEST
Liberal Cash Prizes Are Offered

The fourth annual seed contest of
the North Dakota Improved Seed
Growers association will this year be
of the greatest seed shows that
has ever occurred in the northwest.
Arrangements have been made where.
by there will be liberal cash prizes
and very nice machinery prizes for
all sorts of sedes which are grown
in North Dakota. The contest will
be held as usual, during January, in
connection with the Grain Growers
convention.
One of the features this year which
is meeting with a great deal Of inter-
est on the part of the farmers is the
field contest which has has been pro-
vided for fax and durum wheat.

by the Quaker Oats company to offer

FLAX on new land" He has had
different medal companies submit
competitive designs, and the medals

who has a field of 10 acres or more.
can make application for entry in
these contests. We will send entry
blanks to any grower who wishes to
enter this contest, or he can make ap-
plication IN writing, covering the
points shown IN this entry blank. En-
try in this contest does not prevent
a grower from competing in the regu.
lar seed contest in January at the
fourth annual seed contest.
The way to attempt to win in this
field contest is to purify your field
before cutting. or threshing, by pull
ing out those weeds whose seeds are
