Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1917-05-16

The Herald has in the past under
taken the somewhat unpleasant duty
of defending the Milwaukee Free
Press when we felt the right Of a
free speech to be endangered in this
state and county. In other words that
the right to criticise must be main
tanned even at the risk of tasting bit
ter fruit occasionally. On the other
hand it is somewhat amusing to see
how lamely American the Free Press
is editorially and how it colors it's
news stories to please its readers.
The Free Press used to be clever-it
is becoming simply ingenious.

NO CHANCE IN LEAGUE
All Teams Board Base Ball Band
Wagon For 1912 Season in the
T.: North Carolina League.

reensboro.-With four of the six
clubs represented and the remaining
pair expressing their intention through
proxy of boarding the band wagon
the 1917 season of the North Carolina
League became surety at the annual
directors meeting, held in this city.
Although the time limit for the post
ing of the $1,000 forfeit checks was ex-
tended to February Is, positive assur-
ance was forthcoming from each city
of the league that the respective Or
CARNATIONS would be ready to start
the season on schedule time. Those
present at the annual gathering, were,
in addition to President w. G. Bran
ham, of Durham; DR.. r. 0. Apple and
K. e. Shore, of Winston-Salem; Chas.
Woodall, of Raleigh; j. E. McIlWa1ne
and George w. Wearn, of Charlotte,
and L. G. Brandt a ID John Rees, OF
Greensboro. Durham and Ashev1lle
were not represented by officials,
President Bramhan presenting the
proxies of these clubs at the opening
of the meeting.
The most drastic change effected by
the assembled moguls was the elimi-
nation of the Class "C'' ruling, adopt
ed last year, which provides that only
three men would be permitted on each
club, exclusive of the manager, who
ha participated in Is or more games
in a league higher than 3D." the clas-
sification of the North Carolina
League. According to the terms of
the agreement reached at tOday's meet
ing, each team may be composed in its
entirety of higher class players, pro-
vided that it remains within the salary
limit, which was retained at it's former
figure.
With the Necessity of cutting ex-
penses urged by various delegates, it
was agreed that the roster limit CT
each club be placed at II, inclusive
of the manager, instead of ID, as was
the case last season. Since with the !
possible exception Of Winston, where |
Charley Clancy may be returned, there
will be only actively performing pilots
IN the circuit, this new ruling is not !
expected to weaken the various line
ups. At the opening of the 1916 semes-
.er, there were but two playing mana
gers in the circuit

Salary Raise Constitutional.

Raleigh.-Attorney General Manning
completed for State Auditor Wood his
opinion, finding the act of the Legis-
lature increasing the salary of Gov
ernor Beckett constitutional. It is a
lengthy document, treating the whole
scope of the question and holding
that five sections of the Constitution
must be construed together, and that
officers are elected for specified per-
iods Of time, and further time to the
election and qualification of success
sors. Rulings to the effect by numer-
aus other states ara cited.
