PLAYERS
ALL REGISTER
Even Though Most of Team
is Conscripted, Schedule
Maintained if Possible.

Fargo, N. D., June Livery MEM
Der of Manager Denny Sullivan's Far-
go-Moorhead baseball club have Of
fered themselves for CONSUMPTION by
registering at the courthouse before
leaving for Minot last night to open a
three.game series in that city. All
twelve men are eligible to conscrip-
ton ranging from 81 to 20 years.
The list of players who registered
are: Boardman, Johnson, Thomas.
Mclaughlin and Haley. pitchers; Ba-
chant, catcher; Boyle, first base; Boil,
second base; Debus, shortstop; Tur-
ner, third base; Meixell, center field,
and Durham, right field.
Even though a majority Of the Far
go-Moorhead baseball players are
chosen for military service under the
CONSUMPTION act. it is not likely that
it would interfere with the completion
of the league schedule, for it is gen.
orally understood that the govern
ment will not start to mobilize men
under the selective service plan until
late in September.
Consumption, when 1t does come,
will probably u heavily into the
Northern league for practically every
man in the league is of the eligible
age. There r three married men.
Boardman, Mclaughlin and Bachant
On the local club, but 1t is not likely
that married men will be exempt from
conservation.

BALL STUFF
BUNK, SAYS BARRY

st. Louis June Although hit
twenty-three times last season, Jack
Barry, manager Of the Boston Ameri-
cans. does not believe in the existence
of the bean ball" He asserts he
never has witnessed a deliberate at
tempt by any pitcher to hit a batsman
on the head.
1.-The bean BALI is something 1
know nothing about" Barry said in
discussing the national baseball COM
missions ruling threatening the ex-
pulsion of a pitcher found guilty of
using the delivery.
Il vas hit by pitched balls twenty
three times last season. but I am con-
fident none of the pitchers tried to
hit me. When ball players complain
about the bean bali it always sounds
like an alibi to me-"
Barry's record Of being hit twenty
times last aso is one never
in the modern major leagues.
How to eradicate the bean BALI
Is a question puzzling players. man
ayers and umpires alike. Barry laughs
at the idea Of anybody deciding the
question.
Suppose that a pitcher is wild,
what them" Barry asks.
That's what every fan is asking,
What then?"

strengthening Team.
Minot and Warren. who are playing
their first season in organized base
ball, are beginning to strengthen their
teams and before the season progress
es much further. fans a expect to
see these two organizations playing
much better baseball. Minot has add
ed two new players in the last few
days. They have secured a catcher
from the Western league and an out
fielder from Rockford. ILL.,, in the
Three-I circuit. Warren has also
signed a couple Of new men who
should greatly strengthen that club.
Fargo-Moorhead was in rauch bet
ter shape to start the season than any
of the other clubs. Despite three
weeks Of unfavorable training wealth
err, Manager Denny Sullivan got a
large squad of plat ers together and
after several weeks of work pitched
the present team, which appears to be
the strongest that has ever represent
ed the Twins in Northern league.
The local aggregation left last night
for Minot where they will play a series
Of three games, before returning
