NORTHWESTERN BALL SEASON HAS ENDED;
 SPOKANE WINS RAG

When the games of the North western League were played Sun nay. the season was brought % a dose. Right at present the va rious managers are figuring up and trying to see if much red ink will be needed to put the six clubs on the right side of the ledger
 The season has been procar- ious one but with the same lineup for next year, and favorable wealth CT conditions, the Northwestern League, with good patronage, should be a hummer.
 This season little was expected from Vancouver Great Falls and Butte were worthy additions but bum weather conditions prevented the clubs from making good linan- cially although when the games were played, attendance was large. Tacoma did little in the way of ii- nancial assistance although the sea- son started off most satisfactorily This left Seattle, the old standby, to be the big end on the gete re- ceipts.
 At this distance, with the measro reports at hand, it is impossible to commute the attendance in the six cities and incidentally to form any idea of thc financial standings of the clubs. With the lineup as ir vogue this season, better arrange ment ol a schedule, giving the cii- ies where the national sport is the passion, the majority of the games the Northwestern League should prove a moncy-makcr next year.

Carl Morris and Frank Moran did not fight in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Labor Day. The promoters called off the match.
 The date will be set back two weeks and the fight will be staged either in Denver or Kansas City, with the odds fayoring the latter place. The promoters paid Frank Moran his forfeit.
 Morris received no guarantee.
 The action of the promoters fol- lowed the announcement from Okla homa City that Attorney General Frceling, upon his return from Chi cago. had announced that he would not permit the match to take place. Sheriff Wooley of Tulsa County, who had issued contradictory statements about the affair said his instructions from the Attorney General made it imperative that he prevent the fight at Tulsa. Okla.
