practice will be launched with the
opening of the week.
Fargo college and the Fargo high

cation with an inofrmal series of class
games, which are bringing out a
world of material for the picking of

No announcement of a team has
come from the Moorhead Normal
school, which has been a factor in in
tercity basketball for years, but
dope" has il that the institution will

BRANCH RICKEY STILL
LOOKING FOR MANAGER
Johnny Eyers brought to Attention Of
Cardinals Boss as Successors
for Higgins.
(By Associated Pregs !

st. Louis, Mo-, Dec 1.-That Jack
Miller will not manage the st. Louis
Nationals except in extremity, is the
Impression received from sources con-
nected with the board of directors on
the club. Branch Hickey viii not adj
der consideration, but il is likely that
Miller VIII not direct the st. Louis
Nationals unless all other candidates
Of merit prove unavailable. 1T is
probable that rather than let Miller
manage the club, the men financing
the Cardinal idea, would ask Hickey
70 take charge and direct the team.
Inc owners do not think Ii wise TO
pick q player from the ranks.
John Evers has been brought to the
attention of Hickey as a possible sue
esssor to Miller Huggins. Evers
elallms 70 pc free TO negotiate, but the
Philadelphia Nationals has waived 81
him. Hickey seems more anxious to
get an outfielder than he is to pick
the next manager. He will not trade

der any conditions.

$4,000
ON COUNTY FOR
ROAD PURPOSES

During the season just closed there
was expended on the state roads Of
| Clay county approximately $4,000,
| including $4,000, the cost of bridge
across ditch No. 40 on state road No.
| 2. For 1918 present plans contem-
plate the expenditure of about $4O,-
900, but this amount will depend
somewhat upon the receipt of FEDERAL
aid for state road No. 3. Application
for $50 900 aid in making this road a
full graveled project from Moorhead
to the Becker county line has been
made; and in support the county
board has appropriated $4,000 to be
expended on II during the years 1918
and 1919.
The county now has 1913 miles of
state highway completed or under
construction, said Eric Martinson,
district engineer, in charge Of Clay
county road work. During the sea-
son just closed there were two en-
CINE outfits and two teams and scrap
er crews employed. All of the crews
pulled in when the October freeze
came and only a small amount of
work has been done by any Of them
since.
Heavy work was done on the north
and south road on the western part OF
the county extending from the Nor
man to the Wilkin county line. The
section on the Clay-Wilkin county
line east to q connection with the
King of Trails, known as the yellow
trail is one of the projects for 1918.
On the MoOrhead- Georgetown road,
state No. /, heavy construction work
was done this year and plans are
now being drawn for $4,000 bridge
to replace the present wooden one
across the Buffalo river at George
town.
On state road No. some heavy
work was done near the Patterson
farm also on a two mile stretch in
Tansem township.
Construction of fill across a slough
on state road No. s, from Manitoba
road crossings and leaves the road
on the west side of the railroad
track.
The cut off on state road No. at
Silver lake, begun this year, will be
finished early in 1918.
Plans for next year include i'm
provements of all the bad spots on
the several stretches of road and
gravel surfacing of at least a part of
the Moorhead- Hawley road, state No.
3. About seven of the twenty-nine
miles from Moorhead to the Becker
county line have already been gravel
surfaced. Next spring the three
miles of the old railroad grade, east |
Of Hawley, will be widened and |
graveled.
The county is now acquiring a 20 |
acre tract near Muskoda from which |
a supply Of gravel will be obtained
for use upon the roads. Condemna |
ton proceedings are now under way |
and title to the land will be perfected |
before spring so the pits may be |
opened early in the coming season.
Charles A. Forbes, division engineer
of the state highway commission, will |
make an inspection of all the work |
done during 1917 early in December

FELSH WANTED TO
BE A ''RASSLER"
Great Athletes Have Nurs-
ed Ambitions To Be
Something Else

It has finally leaked out-the secret
sorrow of Hap Fetish, greatest White
Sox fielder, and first home run getter
of the 1917 series,
'rassler". In his early youth between
lodging beer wagons on the streets
of Milwaukee, Hap nursed dreams of
being another Zbyszko the now knows
that he would have had to drink
twenty gallons of the stuff that put
his home town on the map and have
consumed at least fifteen full meals
daily to get into the Zbyszko class) /,
and in those days he rassled all the
boys of the neighborhood and beat
'em all.
A lot of great athletes have nursed
secret ambitions to be something else.
Bob Fitzsimmons wanted to be an
animal trainer, and used to keep a
tame lion. Bob's idea of a good time
was to walk through crowded street
with the lion following meekly at his
heels. The street didn't remain
crowded long.
Bat Nelson and Johnny Evers cher
ished similar ambitions. Both wanted
to forsake the fields of sports, and be-
come writer's. Bat took a whirl at it,
but wasn't much of a success. When
Evers quits baseball it wouldn't be
surprising to find him writing sport.
He has the ability, and knows a good
story when he sees it. EE
Jack Johnson loved his title better
than his right eye, but he always
thought he would be a greater auto
racer driver than a fighter. He tried
repeatedly to break into the racing
game but never succeeded.
John l.. Sullivan's great ambition
was to be a farmer and when he left
the ring he settled down on a little
farm near Boston.
Home Run Baker would rather be
considered successful farmer than a
great ball player. Hal Chase thinks
more of his billiard playing than of
his graceful work around first. Kid
McCoy's ambition was TO be the great
est pool player in the world and Jim
Corbett always imagined he was the
country's greatest handball player.
Abe Attell wanted to besa good actor.
