OUTLAW LEAGUE
BEING BACKED
FOR NORTHWEST
Grand Forks Would be In
cluded in Circuit Out
lined by Millionaire.

Superior Wis, March 10.-A move
ment headed by A. B. Coates, a mill
lionaire sportsman Of Virginia. Minn.,
is on foot to organize an outlaw base
ball league in Northern league terri
tory. The proposed league will in
clude Superior, Duluth, Winnipeg and
possibly Grand Forks and one other
CITY,
Hibbing will probably be offered a
franchise in the proposed outlaw
league. A league which would in
clude the two cities at the head Of
the lakes; Virginia and Hibbing and
Grand Forks and Winnipeg. would
form the most compact circuit that
could be organized in this neck Of the
woods. The mileage to be covered by
the ball clubs would be small COM
pared with the long jumps in the old
Northern league and the expenses
would be materially cut. In addition
the rivalry between Virginia and Hib-
bing would tend to increase the popu-
larity of the national game on the
range. Both are live cities and both
have excellent ball parks. A meeting
will be held in the near future and 1t
is likely that Hibbing will be invited
to send a representative. The report
that certain business men of Duluth
have secured an option on property
for downtown ball park has been
unofRcially confirmed and something
definite is expected to be announced
as soon as details have been arrang-

Overhead Expense During Train
ing at Southern Camps is
Greatly Increased.

Detroit. Mich, March 10 The
high cost of living now has number
ed the baseball industry among its
many victims. Although major league
magnates will save thousands of dol
lars by salary reductions this season,
they fear their overhead expenses will
be greatly increased. While 1t is true
that some of the high cost Of living
items will more directly affect the
men to whom the clubowners sell con-
cessions, it is equally certain that
for nearly everything they must buy.
Training expenses in the southland
will probably be IS per cent higher
than In 1915, it is said. Ball players
who want the potatoes three times
day may face the same stern impossi-
bility that certain members Of the De-
troit baseball squad faced q few sea-
sons ago in a small southern training
camp, when they were unable to in
duce the hotel keeper to give them
eggs and meat at the same meal. Bats

SKRETTlNG and
MURRAY IN TIE
Keen Competition Over Cap.
taincy of Basketball Team
Remains Unsettled.

Four votes for Almer skrettine Of
Valley City and the same number for
Ray Murray Of Crosby was the result
of the election held yesterday after
noon by the members of the basket
ball team when the problem of Sc
lecting captain for the 1918 sea-
son was put to ballot.
AS result of the tie the leadership
remains unsettled and the selection
may now be left to the athletic board
or another vote may be taken.
Skretting has mingled in varsity
basketball for three years and faces
his last season in the game. During
the past year he was substitute on
the team but played in several Of the
contests. He is picked as a conner in
the game and has lined up a large
number Of supporters.
Murray has been with the regulars
for three years. In his sophomore
year he captained the team and his
friends would again like to see him
back In the lead. Just what decision
will now be reached cannot be as-
certained. Murray, it is reported has
left school and will be ineligible for
play during the first semester next
year. This fact may get the cap
taincy for Skretting.
