BOOSTERS OUT
SOLICITING TO
RAISE THE fund
Proposition Looks Good to
Promoters-Decide at
Meeting Yesterday.
Minot, Fargo and Winnipeg
Have Cinched Deals
Grand Forks will be In.

That Grand Forks wants a club in
the Northern league four-club circuit
was definitely decided at the meeting
of representatives held here yesterday
and this morning. Fred Bartholomew
and w. H. Brown opened a soliciting
campaign to uncover. if possible, $3,-
600 worth of live booster fans to back
the proposition.
Others Are Ready.
The boosters from the other cities,
including Charles Moll of Winnipeg,
G. e. Boyle of Fargo, c. W. Twiford
of Minot and NJ. L. Hibbard of Far
go met at the Frederick hotel yester-
day to confer with members of the
baseball committee here The pros
thoroughly discussed, and not one
good reason could be found for not
putting the proposed circuit through
All Of the other cities have their
fund ready to cinch the deal, and it
is expected that within the next two
days. Grand Forks will have sure
berth on the organized schedule.
Messrs. Bartholomew and Brown
started subscriptions off this morning
with personal contributions. They
are merely members of the baseball
committee recently appointed, and for
two days they will devote their time
in energy to promote the club inter-
ests in this city. They are deriving
no benefits from their labors, but have
taken up the project simply to boost
Grand Forks.
Fatal to Drop Out.
To drop out of the proposed circuit
at this late hour would be disastrous,
as far as this city Is concerned. Three
other cities are depending upon Grand
Forks to complete the league and
thousands Of fans will censor this city
for its lack of spirit and enthusiasm,
If the circuit fails TO materialize.
Whether or not Grand Forks will be
included among the cities that are
live enough to support league ball
will be known by tomorrow night
when the answer will be given.

At the same time I believe that Lam

Farm Loan Notes
Not Subjected to
Taxation Law Valid

Washington, Feb. Ito correct

opinion holding unconstitutional the

ing:
1.-The fact is that the opinion Of the
attorney general declares the law per-

Otis Lambeth.

Cleveland. o., Feb, 1s.-Lee Fohl.
Cleveland Indian boss, considers that
he is going to startle the American
league with new pitching phenom
next summer. Otis Lambeth is the
lad Fohl believes will be one Of the
leading pitchers of the American
leagues 1917 season.
Fohl paid $1,000 for Lambeth last
season when he heard about the high
class twirling Otis was doing for
Syracuse. Lambeth Joined the In
dians toward the close Of the season
and from what Fohl saw of the
youngsters work he believes that he
will bloom into star in short order.
Lambeth has smoke that will get the
respect OF every American league bat
ter and he has a beautiful sidearm
delivery and every sort Of pitching
trick as well. A bit Of improvement
in his control will put him right out
