HOPE FOR TEAM
SEEMS SLIGHT
Merchants Association I'm
willing to Back Ball
Club Project.

The report Of the committee solic-
iting funds for the support of base-
ball team Is as follows:
Your committee, appointed to solic-
1t subscriptions for the maintenance
of a baseball team, has for the present
suspended operations. We received
subscriptions to the amount Of nearly
$1,000 without a single turn-down, but
upon meeting some Of the retail mer-
chants were informed that their asso-
ctatton had by a very large majority
expressed the opinion that they deem
it unwise to subscribe to the fund at
this particular time, and the commit
tee decided II the majority of the bus
mess men did not favor the mainten-
ance Of q team, they were wasting
time intrying to raise the required
amount from other sources. The
committee realizes that the Retail
Merchants association has been of
great value to the merchants OF the
city by placing credits on better ba-
sis and discouraging the exploitation
Of our people by outsiders, and by
various other ways, but they feel that
it is necessary for Grand Forks to
keep before the world by maintaining
it's Fair association, its bonspiels. its
baseball team, and other enterprises
of a similar nature. We cannot af-

other progressive cities. Those who
work indoors have little enough OUT
side recreation, and even more than
we have had in the past might be
beneficial.
Your committee believes that the
advertisement received by owning a
league team 10 Of great value to any
city, as there 10 no page in the news
papers so thoroughly read as the
sporting page, and whom We play
league bail it is reported in nearly ev-
cry paper from coast to coast and
from the Gulf to Hudson'sa Bay. o,v.,ot
These enterprises can only be made
a success and profitable to the city
when every ono enters into the spirit
and boosts. BY acting in separate
units, little progress is made. and
therefore IL it is not the wish Of a
considerable majority Of our people
that we play league ball your commit
tee wishes to be dismissed.

M0LL TO RUN
WINNIPEG CLUB
Is Now Trying to Get Park
Lined Up; Promises
Winning Team.

Winnipeg, Man., March To-
Charlie Moll, the popular baseball
mogul who piloted the St. Boniface
club last year. is back in our midst
again, and his return is the cause of
the baseball bug to start buZzing
again. Charlie will be seen in new
role this year, as he has been given
full control OF the Winnipeg franchise
III the Northern league. This news
should be welcomed by local diamond
fans, as Moll is widely known as a
person who knows all the inside base
ball workings, who knows player
when he sees one. and who has the
habit OF having his team up in the
pennant race all the time. John Bur
meister. president of the league. and
II. c. Webb. president of the Winni-
peg club last year. will not be con-
nected with the club in any form this
year.
After Ball Park
Charlie Moll blew into Winnipeg
three days ago, but kept in the quiet
until today, as he was busy working
on some important business. The
matter he is trying to get Strengthened
out is in regard to the park. He has
been negotiating for the Norwood
stadium but is experiencing difficulty
FOR some unforeseen reason. The new
local magnate is not worrying. how

College Water Polo.

Annually. at this season. college
water polo is placed under IRE BY
varsity swimmers VINO prefer a mild
er kind Of sport, or by outsiders who
believe they have discovered the ideal
aquatic game. 1t would not be sur
prislng. therefore. TO hear that a few
student devotees Of soccer are again
advocating its Official adoption by the
intercollegiate league. and that suK-
eestions have been offered for an en-
lre]y new game. different from all
those now being played. So
Regarding the efforts Of the soccer
advocates, graduate w'ate.men have
pointed out before that there is moth
ing TO prevent their organizing teams
and booking matches without interfer-
ing with followers Of other sports. Soc
Ger football players enjoy the pastime
OF their choice, yet they are not con-
stantlT hammering the more popular
Rugby There are swimmers enough
at our colleges TO furnish plenty Of
material for both soccer and Rugby
water polo. and the two games appeal
to different types OF men. 80 there is
no reason why one should be aban-
doned in favor OF the other
AZ to those who would introduce
new, untried games. 1t would be in
teresting to learn Just what objections
they have to the one now played. That
1t Is well liked by university watermen
there can be no doubt, for each sue
ceeding year sees more candidates re-
port for practice, and the squads are
now 80 large that class teams are
formed in the fall and hold tourna
ments before the opening Of the
championship matches. The public
also favors water polo strongly as evil
denced by the fact that the inter-
collegiate league authorities will not
grant membership to a college unless
1t guarantees to enter q water polo
team for the title race, simply be-
cause experience has shown that
swimming meet without water polo
will not draw half as big a crowd. and
the associations are largely dependent
for support on the returns from the
meets.
The claim, at times made, that the
sport is rough and dangerous need
hardly be considered. Not an injury
has been chronicled during the past
eight or ten years, and this cannot be
said Of any other game Offering oppor-
tunities for personal encounter. For
the rest, college water polo, besides
increasing swimming ability and prov
ing attractive to both players and
spectators, has one valuable feature
not possessed by soccer, basket polo,
water basket ball, or any other aqua
tic pastime at present in use. It de-
velopes competent and practical life
savers. No man who has learned to
tackle an opponent and break the
latter's hold, as he must to qualify
for the game, will have trouble in
rescuing a drowning person and pro-
tecting himself in so doing.

CRAWFORD SOLID
WITH TIGER FANS

Detroit, Mich, March 1o.-1f Craw-
ford Of the Detroit Tigers should be
forced to bow to Father Time, he
would have nothing to worry about.
His contract. quite generally believed
to call for salary Of $500 year.
Is Of the so-called iron-clad kind, and
does not expire until the end Of the
1917 season.
When he returned to New York
from the trip around the world with
the White Sox two years ago he was
met at the dock by Federal league
magnates. He was offered a big sal
ary increase IL he would join their
ranks, it has been said.
Crawford is considered one of the
most popular players who has ever
donned q Detroit uniform. His
screeching drives to the right field
bleachers and into and over it have
made much history. He always has
been known as a steady, quiet, .unas-
suming player, and his passing from
the lair of the Tigers, which may not
be for several yearA, will probably
cause as much genuine regret az did
the passing of another hero Of
halcyon days-Wild Bill Donovan.

Kaun and the Giants.

One of the most regrettable fea-

ure Of Benny Kauff to report with
the Giants. is that they will not have
the opportunity OF seeing for them
selves whether Kauff is good enough
baseball player 10 attain the high
standard Of play in the National Lea
que that he did in the Federal Lea
que. The playing ability of the Fed
eral League stars and those Of the
major leagues has always been q sub
ject of feverish discussion among ball

ants team it could quickly be seen
if the National League pitching would
be as easy for him to hit as the pitch
ing in the outlaw organization. Base

HULTsMAN ANNOUNCES HIS
CANDIDACY FOR REELECTION

In the announcement column of
this paper this week will be found
the card of Ben Hultsman, of AL
bany, who is a candidate for County
Commissioner. to succeed himself, in
district No. Q.
Ben was elected to this position of
responsibility and trust in 1914, and
having no other occupation to occu-
by his attention. has devoted his
whole time, energy and ability to
being County Commissioner, and the
result has been the rendering of a
fservice to the county which it were
not possible to get at the hands of
many people. fettered with other re-
sponsibilities.
Ben is asking the voters of his
district to re-elect him. He asks
this upon his claim that he has made
good in every way, and that one
good term deserves another. His
friends believe about the way he
does. and those in a position to know
about it say that the records show
il too.
Ben has shown himself to be at
tentive to business, and economical
in the dispensing of the. public mon
eys; exacting in the performance of
his official tasks. and equally as ex-
acting in expecting the same sort of
service from other public servants
and employees; an ardent enthusi-
ast for good and better roads, which
anyone in his district will vouch for;
and in most every other way just the
sort of a county commissioner that
his district and the county at large
needs and wants.
Ben says that he will make his
campaign upon his record during
his first term. The writer knows
more of that record than does the
average voter who has taken only a
passing interest We can therefore
gladly commend his claims and can
didacy to the voters for their
thoughtful consideration.

OKLAHOMA MILITIA MAY
SEE ACTIVE SERVICE

1t is taken for granted that the
recent inspection of the Durant com
pany of the Oklahoma National
Guard was for the sole purpose Of
ascertaining what degree of efficien
ey as soldiers existed in the local or
ganization, and with a view to as
certaining how much they could be
counted upon for active service in
the event of call from the Federal
Government. 1t is estimated by the
ones considered efficient to judge
that months rigorous training in
camp would put the locals on a first
class war footing" The possibil-
ity is not remote that the company,
along with the others of the State,
will be called upon within the next
week or ten days for service on the
Mexican border, in the event that
the Government troops now patrol
ling that section are called upon to
go over into Mexico. The company
has been readily recruited up to it's
quota, and most OF the members are
anxious for orders to Ego to the
front"
