Match Between Novak and Hull

Out With Challenge.

Prospects are bright for few more
good wrestling matches in the near
future. The return Of Joe Novak, the
local grappler, from his western "trip,
has caused a number of wrestlers to
awake to the prospects of a match.
NOvak also is anxious TO Wrestle
and is particularly anxious to meet
George Hull of jamestown, who
claims the middleweight champion.
ship of the state Hull agreed to
meet Novak at any date, but since
the return of the local man from Spo,
kane he has not been heard from. a
match between the two men would be
mighty popular with Bismarck
wrestling fans, who have been more
than pleased with the class of the
sport provided for them this winter
Tentative arrangements for q
match between NOvak and HILL, for
either February II or ~, are being
made. Frank Kellogg of jamestown
manager for Hull, has beca communi-

date for the match. In all probability
it will be staged at the Grand theater

few days, to try and make final ar
engagements to meet Noyak.
'Novak says he is ready 10 meet any

GOOD CROWDS
SEE CHICKENS
Splendid Exhibits of the North
Dakota Poultry Show at
the Auditorium.

Fargo. Feb. 3-"Some Chickens
That is what everybody says who
has seen the big poultry show at the
auditorium where the North Dakota
exhibit is now holding forth and will
hold forth for the remainder of the
week.
Last night and today there were in
creased crowds at the show for the
word has gone forth that such show
has not been seen in North Dakota
in many moons-and probably never
since there nave been chickens in
this state.
When one thinks that there are Sl4
of the finest specimens of wide
range OF breeds of chickens, turkeys,
ducks, geese and guineas, on display,
it is easy TO see why so many are
taking in the show. There is not
scrub in the entire bunch and there
are some wonderful example Of the
various breeds shown.
The great floor of the auditorium
is filed with pens of uniform con.
struction that make the show very
attractive.

President Weegman of Chicago
Nationals Is Opposed to Old
Time Custom.

Chicago, Feb. 3.-Much discussion
OF the irOn-bOund rules will be 4 feat
ure of the National league meeting
next week, according to a word from
Pittsburgh. President Weeghman OF
the Chicago club is going to urge the
abolition of the rule prohibiting ladies
day at parks around the circuit, and
Barney Dreyfuss, of Pittsburgh, will
push fight for rule limiting bases
on hits over the short right-tield fence
at the Philadelphia plant.
This is fine time to bring up
this matter" said Joseph Tinker,
manager OF the Chicago team when
appraised of Barney's intention. THAT
short fence has been standing for
twenty years or more and during that
time the Phillies, profiting BY seventy
seven-ar-home games each season
have copied just one pennant. Even
with Flick. Laioie, Delebanty and all
those great sluggers, the Phillies

Just as soon as the club grabs flag
some people seem to think action
should be taken in regard to the
fence.

discussion. but ii Barney is hooking
around for suggestions he might lis
ten to one have in mind. The diff.
Guilty which Dreyfuss says exists
might berelieved if balls clearing the
wall between the right foul line and
