Crying Need in Major
Leagues Now Is Fast
Right-Hand Batters.

| New York, Jan. 27.-There is an OPP
portunity for enterprising jor league
| managers to make a fortune for their
! clubs by developing for the major
! ranks heavy hitting outfielders who are
right handed batters. The demand for
| right handed hitters is great, espec-
tally in the National league. Nearly
| every club in the older circuit would
pay handsomely for Il 300 hitter who
| swings from the starboard side of the
plate. There is an abundance of left
handed hitters. but the right flanders
| are almost a scarcity.
| Charles Weegham, president of the
| Chicago Cubs, would take the band off
his bank roll and hand out many new
crisp bills for an outfielder capable of
hitting the 300 mark. He needs one
badly and has instructed Fred Mitchell,
the new manager of the club to make
every effort to get one. Mitchell is
aware that his outfield does not sha pc
up strongly with the trio the Cubs had
last season. Fred Williams and Max
Flack are left handed batters. One of
u.
will probably adorn the bench. as he is
not the slugger that Williams is, and
Is not as fast in the field.
| Leslie Mann deserves to be a fixture
in left field. He won the position last
season by playing remarkable ball. His
fielding was sensational throughout the
season. and although a little late in
starting, he batted heavily. If the
Cubs are fortunate in getting another
man of his type they will have one OF
the fastest and most dependable out
fields in the league.
Cincinnati Is in virtually the same
position. It's outfielders are left hand =
ed hitters. and "Christy" Mathewson
realizes that to be effectiveively power
ful he must have at least one good
right handed hitter, and has his lines
out for one. He is said to be angling
for "Bill' Hinchman of the Pirates, but
it is hardly possible Barney Dreyfuss
will let him go, as he figures on play
ing him 1T first base this year.
Roush is the leader of the Reds out
fielders, and is II youEgster destined ia
become one of the fielding lights OF
: the National league. He is "A left hand
ed swinger but does it so naturally
that he usually hits southpaws as well
as he does right handlers John Nc
Graw was unwilling to let him. go. but
in order to assist the Cincinnati team
he had to do it.

one OF the most strenuous Of all games
of exercise. Mainly for this reason, 1t
has a great appeal to the army of
youngsters that Hike plenty of action.
While tennis is n great notional
pastime, it has four great centers--
New York, Boston, Philadelphia and
California. In these sections even the
by the thousands. This year there was
real interest shown in the court game
around Chicago and the Windy City
promises to attain the tAnnis growth
OF the far east and west.
The development of tennis is all the
more remarkable when II is considered
that only a few years ago the game
was held in contempt, with only q
comparatively few trying their skin
with the racpuets. But as soon as the
movement outdoors began tennis
quickly began to threaten the claim Of
baseball as the chief national sport.
More surprising still has been the
development Of golf, the same "old
mans game that nine out of every
10 sports would have nothing to do
with only q short time ago. But sport
times have changes. and in 1916 there
were over 5000 golf clubs, established
and Furnishing in the country. with
something like 100000 men women and
children tramping their way over the
links.
1T has been figured out that golf
made even more progress than tennis
this season. The old Scotch game has
become SO popular that twenty lead
ing cities now possess public links in
order to provide facilities for the
thousands who desire the enjoyment
of swatting the little balls.
AS means Of healthful exercise
golf undoubtedly surpasses all other
sports. 1t is a game for both the old
and the young. 1t takes the player out
in the open over beautiful grounds and
he gains a peculiar form of mental
recreation that no other game can
match. ..

every reason for believing that the

crowds will turn out for the games and

not as yet been announced but 1t is
sure that competent men will run the

COUSINS, WE'D IN
CANADA, PLEAD
FOR A DIVORCE
Husband, SO, Contends Cere-
mony Invalid Because
of Minnesota Law

Is marriage OF first cousins, illegal
in Minnesota, legal when performed
in Winnipeg, is the question to be de-
cided by the Becker county district
court.
This question came up in chambers
today before Judge William L. Par
sons, at the Clay county court house
in Moorhead, on the motion for tenn
porary alimony and expenses in the
case Of Lawrence Lintvet VS.. Helena
Lintvet
It appears that the parties are first
cousins and, being unable to be mar
ried in Minnesota, went to Winnipeg,
where they were married last Deem
Der. Lawrence, who is So years of age,
firing OF the union, brought suit in
the Becker county district court to
have the marriage annulled on the
ground that 1t was contracted in vio-
lation OF law.
Mrs. Lintvet. who is As years Of age,
in her answer claims that the marriage
was legal and asks for an absolute
divorce on the ground Of cruel and in
human treatment.
The arguments were made this
morning by G. M. Johnston, Detroit,
representing Mrs. Lintvet, and III. n.

Lintvet. The parties are farmers re-

RATE INCREASE THAT
WILL PAY OUT URGED
Moorhead Commercial Club Doesn't
Go the Whole Way With Railroads
In Supporting Advance.

Increases in freight rates in proper
ton to increased transportation costs,
are approved by the Moorhead Com
mercial club in a letter sent Monday
evening to the Minnesota warehouse
commission by President A. M. Hope
man. The club doesn't go on record
for the Is per cent advance the rail-
roads have asked, but only fer such
increase as is found necessary.
Mr.. Hopeman's letter follows:
1.-THE board unanimously voted that
they believed it far better to grant in
crease to railroads than to be handi-
capped in transportation facilities
and prompt shipment.
1--WE, therefore, would be in favor
of increase of freight rates consistent
with any increase in payment of labor
and other increased expense taking
into consideration local conditions and
the disposition that other states may
take in the same matter.
I'VE realize that this is an unusual
condition we are facing at the present
time, and think that by no means
should the railroads be handicapped
to such an extent that they are unable
to supply regular amount of equip
ment, and we can readily see that it
will be far better for us to pay the
additional freight than to have delays
in shipments"

Grand Forks Labor Men
Condemn Nonpartisan
Propaganda

Grand Forks, N. D., June 12.-Thir-
ty-five union men Of Grand Forks, q
majority of the typographical, press
mems, stereotypers and bookbinders'
unions, gave out a statement today,
defining their position with respect to
the Nonpartisan league. Heretofore,
the union men have been credited with
being lined up solidly with the Nom
partisan league.
The statement:
After hearing the disgraceful, UNI
patriotic, reasonable remarks OF A.
G. Townley. self-styled friend of the
farmer and laboring man, we. repre-
senting more than a majority of the
voting element of the Grand Forks
Typographical Union and Allied
Trades. hereby go on record as oppos-
ed to the Nonpartisan league as the
is preached by its leaders.
While the union men are loyal to the
farmers and stand ready to aid them
in every way possible, we do not con-
slider the Nonpartisan league as now
Differed an organization frfnedly to
the best interests of the farmers, and,
therefore, we are opposed to it.
'In common with men from all
walks of life. we have entered this
war with the determination to do our
part and we resent the implication
that we are unpatriotic in subscribing
to the Liberty Loan. We believe in
our government, and, when our gov
eminent decides4 that the Liberty
Loan bonds are the just and equitable
way of financing the war, we are loyal
enough to believe that our government
is right.
we believe in the principles of
and liberty and we believe
1t was necessary for our country to
enter the war that those principles
can survive. We know that that was
the only consideration OF our govern
ment, and, in common with all patri-
otto citizens, we will remain loyal to
our government"
