Big SPORTSNEN'S
MEETING CALLED
AT MINOT IN JUNE
Propose Central Organiza-
ton for Handling States
Game Interests

Minot, N. D.. Mar 22.-The formal
Incorporation Of sportsmen In all
branches of sport into the North Da-
kota Sportsmen's association will be
effected here June Is. 6ne of the dates
of the annual tournament for North
Dakota gun clubs here. June 14-15-l6.
The movement has been long con-
templated, and a preliminary survey
for membership has been under way
for more than SIX weeks.
Conservation and propagation OF
game and the enactment of fair game
laws will be the aim Of the associa-
ton. Membership will be open.
The North Dakota Sportsmen's as
ISOLATION was organized at Grand
Forks in 1913, and while the organiza-
ton was broad in its platform, which
included all field sports, very little was
done except to organize the gun clubs
over the state. This step was a sue
cess, and state tournaments have been
held each year, in 1915 at Lisbon.
The present officers of the associa-
ton, G. HI. Parker and DIR. j. r. Pence,
president and secretary, respectively,
both of Minot, have seen the need OF q
wider scope for the activities of the
association, and have leagued with
some forty representative state sports
men in carrying out the proposed plan.

wHITMAN,s PLACE DEFINED.

| James Oppenheim in The Seven
Arts: Walt Whitman was 36 when
Leaves of Grass was published, and
he went on writing in this one book
until he died in Camden in 1892. He
made good use of his lack of travel
and of an academic culture; he set
out in free art territory, learnt most
things for himself, and created his
own forms, gathered his own ma
terials. His form was built roughly by
listening, as it were, to his own inner
music, and setting it to words, in
stead of listening to the music of Eng
lish poetry. His material was the life
around him, in it's multitudinousness,
actually, and chaos. However. he had
given him two bodies of thought to
make his work unified. The first was
the principle of democracy, as JEFF
ferson outlined it; the second the
transcendentalism Of Emerson. Both of
these thin gospels he remade by root
ing them in the earth and his own
personality. He was democrat who
believed in evolution and God. and In
a perfection enclosing all things. Nat
urally he was an optinist, a preacher
of JOY, health, simplicity and the VIC
tory of man. Naturally he was a
preacher. 1t is a part of the American
tradition.
His art form is Realistically demo-
which each person has his place, ac-
cording to his own socially allowable
desires and capacities, then Whit
mans verse is thoroughly democratic
there Is no subordination Of a null
titude of thoughts, feelings and facts
to one dominant theme. He loosely all
lows each thought, each feeling, each
fact its own place, floating serenely
in sea of chaos. More than this, he
goes on for pages in sthe much criti-
cized "catalogs," which are actually a
series of pictures, each picture given
line by itself. These are had on the
reader, and possibly no one can read
them throughput their effect is none
the less significant. You taste them,
here, there, at random, as you taste
the faces in crowded street. and the
effect is Of life itself; each fact there
if you want to find it. In other words
where a traditional poet would gather
America in symbol which simplifes
the national life into something ver-
teal, Whitman shows that life in ex-
tension, horizontally. much more as 1t
actually is.

Kansas City, Mo-, May IS. - Beals
Becker. ex-National Lacquer. is lead
ing the American association at bat
and holds the home-run record to date
with five to his credit. Last season
Becker was the Associations heaviest
hitter and finished the race with an
average Of .343.
A few seasons ago Becker was one
Of the National leagues heaviest hit
ters. He batted 1916 in 1913 when he
played with the New York Giants and
later on with the Phillies and the sea-
son following he had his best year and
batted 1925. The summer of 1915 was
his last year in fast company and his
batting slump was q reason for 1t. He
batted .246 and at the close Of the
season he was turned over to Kansas
City.
Becker seems determined to return
to the big show If the best sort of
hitting will do 1t. With the start he
has made this spring he should at
least equal his mark of last year and
likely surpass it. The latest figures put
his average at .355, and If he keeps up
the pace he will deserve another
chance in the majors.

The game was featured by the ter

and a double in five times up. Each

to eat in spite Of our appetites which
have been considerably increased by
our open air work.
Reveille is at 5:45 a. m, retreat at
