A BALL TEAM?
WELL | GUESS YES
llanklnson will 90 After the
State Championship
This Year
$500 RAISED IN SHORT TINE
Several ssmi-Professlonal Play
ers Already Signed Up
for tho Season

II. u. STOCK and Mayor NC
Donell made canvass of the
business men Tuesday, sounding
out the sentiment as to putting
a firstclass ball team in the field
again this year to uphold Han
kinson's reputation on the diam
ond, and the fact that about
100000 was subscribed within a
few hours tells better than work,
the sentiment expressed.
With this assurance of tinan-
cial support Manager Stock pro-
ceeded to get busy at once and
has already engaged several fast
players for the season.
Dutch Wilke will be back in a
day or two, bringing with him a
pitcher in the person of Watkins
(not connected with the enforce
ment league) a former Carleton
College player who was on the
pitching staff Of Duluth in the
Northern league a part OF last
summer.
Peck kielty, the heavy hitting
catcher of the Havana team last
season, has been signed to play
an infield position and will be
here in a few days.
And, Oh yes, Oscar Narum, the
Big Swede, has relented and will
be in the game again this season
and with Hankinson printed on the
front of his shirt. No better
news than this could be wished
for by the most ardent fan.
There are three new men en-
ployed in the CITY who will help
fill in the gaps-Neitzel, Wo.kie
and Mansfield-all of whom have
records that will please the fans
Then we have the old reliables
who have been the mainstay OF
the team for years-Ev. and Slim
Green, Carl Alberts, Tige Barrett
Geo. Rennix, ct ais. Cap Dennine
declined couple of Offers to play
salaried ball this season and will
be in one of the infield positions
with the locals again.
Besides this formidable array
of talent, there are several Of the
younger prayers dDOuC ripe 1oi
the first team-the Cox boys
Shave Green, Harry Worner anC
others Of the rising generation.
Practice will begin in few
days and the first of June should
see the old game in full swing.
In this connection it is pleas
ing to note that many of the sur
rounding towns are getting ~
the game stronger than ever be-
fore. Wahpeton will have near
ly an all-salaried bunch, Cogswell
has six hired men for the season
Wyndmere threatens with IA
strong aggregation. and even
Lidgelwood and Fairmount are
considering the matter Of putting
real teams in the field.
Oh yes, it will be some base
hall year all right, and Hankin-
son will be right in the thick OF
the fray from now until the frost
is on the pumpkin.-Hankinson

II GENERAL STRIKE OCCURS
WEDNESDAY, 750,OOO PERSONS
CALLED FROM WORK.
UNIONS TO VOTE
Trades Unions Begin Voting on Rati-
fication OF Action OF Delegates
Who Called for General Sus-
pension Next Wednesday.

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.--Trades
unions in this city and Westchester
county today began vote on rati-
fication of the action OF eighty dele
gates who yesterday called for 2
general suspension OF work" next
Wednesday morning. The labor
'chiefs appealed to all union wage
earners to stay at home until the
Traction companies made IL possible
for them to ride in the street cais
without offense to their union al
llegiance.
II Is asserted that no such action
heretofore has been taken by the
trades unions OF this country. nor has
a strike involving so many trades
ever been called. Its maximum ef-
feet would be to call from work
100000 men and women.
Leaders of the movement refrain
from calling it a sympathetic strike
They declare that many of the un-
ions already have voted to ratify
their recommendations, and that any
lunion man who does not quit work
Monday will be denounced as trait
or.
To what extent they expect the
unions to respond TO the suspension
call was not disclosed. Ii Is point
ed out that Wednesday is the be-
ginning of an important Jewish holi-
day, when many workers ordinarily
would stay at home.
/, The call for a cessation OF work
lis based on the grievance that men
of union affiliations cannot ride -
their employment except in cars man
ined by non-union conductors or mo-
itormen and under the protection OF
the police. Statements issued bs
the leaders indicate that they are in
Icensed by Mayor Mitchel's warning
that he stood ready to use the mill
ltary power to restrain violence, and
THAT they consider the city TO be
dominated by the traction interests
