Zeppelins Fly in Bad Weather.
Figures prepared by the British
Meteorological office show that Yep
pelins are to all intents and purposes
Independent of weather conditions.
Generally, the assumption has been
that Zeppelins are fair-weather craft,
and dare venture forth only in light
airs and on dark nights, that even
moderate winds were dangerous to
them, and that snow would be fatal,
but every one of these theories is dis
proved by the official figures for the
tWenty-one occasions on which they
have visited England. The Zeppelins
have come in virtually every phase Of
the moon, from new to full. They
have had the wind from every quarter
Of the compass. and with wind that
has ranged from light airs" to strong
breezes." The thermometer has
ranged from freezing to sweltering
summer heat There have been skies
of every variety; here has been mist
on several occasions; rain still more
often. During the raid of March .
there was winter weather of consider
able severity, with heavy snowfall in
progress and squalls of wind. Bombs
were dropped upon one town during
a snow suuall so bitter that the local
papers spoke of it as a blizzard" The
official wind figures show that two
raids took place in wind Of 25 to 81
miles an hour.

NORTHERN NO
Be NO REFUGE
FOR OLD BOYS
Rule Prohibiting Using of
More Than Four Old Tim
ers Will Be Adhered To

Duluth, Mimi, April 14.-The
Northern league is not going to be
turned into refuge for aged, de-
Perforated or has been ball players.
The old-timers are going to find it
hard to get berth in any of the six
clubs of the circuit this year.
The Northern is a young mans
league"-and is going to remain such,
so President John .Burmeister and his
associate moguls have declared.
After moguling for several years,
members of the league have come to
the sane conclusion that the old
timer who has served in higher
classifications has entirely the wrong
idea Of salary limits and the spirit
which develops the young ball player.
With that end in view at the last
meeting a rule was adopted limiting
the number Of players who had been
"up" to four-including the manager
Of the club. This does not prevent the
securing Of high class sluggers and
pitchers but it does keep the salary
limit within the bounds of reason and
still gives q great class of baseball.
The average fan would much
rather see a conner" working on the
home club than an old-timer, who is
hanging on by his teeth even though
he hit the ball a mile.
This does not prevent the pur-
chase and use, if needed, of an entire
team of class c players with four
men who have been higher.
Duluth Players Coming.
Owner Blume of the Duluth club
yesterday sent transportation to fifteen
ball players. His club is expected to
.. assemble about Monday, although
several early birds will be in town
at least Saturday.
Lautsch, the crack Cleveland anna
teur, and the bird who won the
worlds amateur title for Cleveland
with his timely hit last fall, will be
here with his friend Harry Wolfe,
who will be back at short. Webb -
expected to hold down second base.
He was good enough for a tryout
with the American association team
at Indianapolis. Shredder will be
back for a try on first base. Faull
will give him a run for his money,
however, and the Teuton will have to
watch himself or it will be the blue
ticket for him.
With the signing of Shredder the
outfield proposition has been settled.
Park in Condition.
Athletic park is in fair condition
| or was before yesterdays rain
Practically all the snow has gone and
the diamond was drying in fine
shape. .-
First practice has been called for
Monday afternoon. 1t will hardly be
game-just practice-and not too
much Of that.
Duluth has the best team in sight
! that it has had for years, unless the
dope goes astray and several of the
promising players fail to deliver.
Superior will play here a week from
| Saturday and Duluthians will then gel
| a chance to look their favorites over.

OF ASSOCIATION.
County Fair Association Of

Racing Circuit

Fergus Falls, Mimi. April IA
meeting of directors and officers of the
Otter Tail, Benton, Stearns and Rich
land county fair associations was held
mote the mutual good of the various
fairs was perfected, with the following
officers:
President-B. L. Lounsbury, of Wah-

Vice Presidents-G. c. Mantor, of
Fergus Falls, and B. F. Dubois, of Sauk
enter.
Secretary and Treasurer-W. F.
Dewey, of Sauk Rapids.
1t was decided to levy an assessment
of $40 on each association to be used in
carrying on the work of the organiZa-
to be known as The Big Four Racing
circuit, which will include the four
counties named. 2
Dates for the different fairs were
chosen as follows:
Sauk Rapids, st. Cloud, Sept. 12-124
14-15. T.
Sauk Center, Sept. 2O-21-22-2S. .
Fergus Falls, Sept 26-27-2S-29.
Wahpeton, Oct. 3-4-5-6. a.
Representatives of the Western
Vaudeville Co, Robinson Amusement
present their propositions for attrac-
tions and considered. but no contracts
signed.
The formation of the association will
be of real value to all of the fairs. 1t
will enable them to negotiate Jointly
for attractions, thus securing them for
less money in many instances, and will
also enable them to arrange their dates
so that horsemen can take in all OF
the fairs in succession.
A tentative racing program was ar.
ranged, with prizes aggregating $3.50,
which ought to bring in some good
horses.

Grand Forks Herald: President John
Burmeister of the Northern league
seems to be still considering an
eight-league club circuit, according to
word received from Minneapolis. AL
though the board dropped that idea
at the last meeting held when the
schedule was adopted, the information
declares that the league head has three
cities under consideration besides
Grand Forks although he refused to
say what ones they are.
He says that. he will let this city
know what his decision is by Satur-
day, but until that time he cannot
give out anything definite.

a bunt and when third base was left

a throw by Luderus, while Bancroft

AIRMAN TRYING
TO WAKE BRITISH

London, April 12.-One of the most
spectacular election campaigns that
England has ever witnessed was made
by Pemberton-Billings an aviator who
was the successful candidate for mem
Der of the house of commons for East
Herts, a thriving English community.
Mr.. Billing was dissatisfied with the
governments policy of attempting to
to fight off the Zeppelins and ran as
the "airman candidate" so that he
could get into parliament and as he
himself said proceed to make Eng
land wake up"
Billing did his electioneering dressed
as an aviator He made a personal
tour of the constituency and proceeded
to "buttOnhole' the voters in much the
same style that was popular with the
old-time politicians in the United
States. Billings also used motor cars
and motorcycles to reach the voters.
He always carried a miniature Zeppe-
lin around with him.
Until few months ago Mr.. Billings
was a squadron, commander in the
British Royal Naval Air Service He
took large part in planning raid
against the Zeppelin headquarters at
Lake Constance and afterwards filled
a post in the anti-aircraft service in
England. Then he became dissatisfied
with the governments aircraft policy
and because he could not have his
way In the manner he thought the
government ought to treat the raiding
Zeppelins. he quit the service.
Billings claims the British air serv-
ice is inadequate and wants it put on
war basis. His scheme includes the
appointment of an Air Minister and
the building of 5000 aeroplanes within
six months. Great Britain should con-
troll the air, the new member argues.
TO ensure the defense of Great
Britain against zeppelins," Mr.. Bill
lings said in his numerous speeches,
there should be $50 machines, with a
speed of eighty miles an hour, each
capable Of destroying an airship at a
range Of not less than mile, fifty to
be continually ready to fly at any
moment. In addition each squadron
Of ten such aeroplanes should have
five patrol machines, equal to 115 miles
an hour to fight the German aero
planes. They should be armed with
machine guns firing explosive bullets
Each machine should have a search
light with a range of at least a mile. "
Billings also has very definite ideas
about how to control the air defense.
He would have an air director who
would have on the wall of his room in
the war office map of England, fif-
teen 1eeL square, painted on glass ana
divided into 100 squares. Each square
would be in electrical contact with
the local headquarters of the cores
ponding square Of country. There
would be another map, similarly
squared, on a table, and in the center
of each square would be a telegraphic
key. By touching any one of the tele-
graphic keys an operator would COM
municate with the local commander OF

Report Received.
Minneapolis, April 12.-President
John Burmeister Of the Northern
league said tonight that he would be

nation about Grand Forks entering

that in order to place Grand Forks in

to enter some other town to play with
them. While there are three towns
to be considered in this light, he is
unable to decide on any one of them
at present, fearing that none Of them
can support team of this class.
Mr.. Burmeister refuses to say what
towns are being considered.
