NINE DROUTH EXTENT

Pierre, Jan. 6.-Just how dry
South Dakota will be is now up
to the legislature.
A bill, drawn by the temper
ance forces will be introduced
next week, which is to allow in
dividuals to ship in not to ex-
ceed one quart of whiskey or two
quarts of beer monthly.
The possession of this amount
or the drinking Of the same at
home will not be prohibited.
On the other hand the liquor
interests are at work here to
enact a law which would prohib-

and make drinking in private
residences a misdemeanor.
The prohibition measure es-

so. OAK. TO HAVE
ALFALFA PALACE

Rapid City has just seen the
launching Of an enterprise which
will mean much to the city IN
the way of advertising, an enter
prise in this section of the Unit
ed States that in the past few
years has grown by leaps and
bounds. Eleven leading business
men have applied for a charter
for a corporation which has for
its purpose the building Of an
alfalfa palace in the city and the
decoration Of the building with
alfalfa and other grains for one
week each after the manner of
the Corn Palace at Michel is
decorated each year.
As the farm land adjacent to
Rapid City raises some of the
best alfalfa seed that is produc-
ed in the United States and as
this indusry is becoming the
chief agricultural one in this sec
tion of the state, the venture is
a timely one. 1t is planned to
give a weeks entertainment at
the palace each fall, as well as to
bring noted lecturers on agricul-
tural work to the city and have
them give series of lectures on
the raising of alfalfa and other
farm prpdnets. The week fol-

road bills have been introduced

states obligations in the adop-
tion of the Shackelford act which
pspvides government aid to
states in road construction.
Amotion to reconsider the res

LIVESTOCK MARKET
St. Paul.,

Estimated receipts at the Union
stockyards today:
Cattle, ESQ; calves. so; hogs, $500;
sheep, 2; cars, 3d.
Cattle-Estimated receipts of 500
cattle were hardly enough to go around
today and bigger run would not have
lowered values materially. Steady
prices prevailed on all killing stuff.
Hogs-The lIgntest Tuesday run of
hogs since September 5. 1916. reached
this market today ana in spite of the
light marketing the schedule was
lowered a dime in most spots. A
single load of extra fancy hogs went
at steady rates when sold for $1,000;
but this figure represented n premium,
in view of the condition of the re-
nainder of the market. Top outside
of that lone lot was 1890
Sheep-The sheep and lamb section
here today was almost entirely neg
lected by shippers, q bare handful of
stock arriving. For everything that
was offered packers paid steady rates.

Another Viewpoint.

Sir: In regard to the stand taken
by "A number of sporting writer's
against Les Darcy for his failure to
enlist, or for his act in running away
from his country at a critical period,
| think this mistake has been made
who can look for any great degree of
mentality. patriotism, or refined
courage among the average lot of
prizefightersH Darcy is being judged
upon the grounds of craftsmanship,
whereas there is practically no sports
manship in the fighting game, either
from the managers or the fighters
themselves. one may like the fighting
game and yet be forced to admit that
its representatives, are of Il very low
order. II is my opinion that Darcy
should be judged in this country not
as a citizen, hut as an average prize
fighter, no better and no worse than
any of the others counting out the
few exceptions.

POPULARITY OF HOOP
GAME is INCREASING

Basketball is rapidly becomming the
most popular of all the winter sports,
and during the last few years has left
hockey far in the ruck as far as pop
ularity is concerned. It is not so very
long since that basketball was scorned
as being effeminate for the college
athletes to play, but as the game is
played at present, it is nearly the
equal of football in roughness.
The game was played during the
early eighties at the Springfield Y NJ.
c. A. college, when the director of
athletics. hunting for some indoor
game to take the monotony off thA
gymnasium work, improvised the'
game. 1t was first played with six
men, but the number of players on n
side was later cut down to five.
Will" basketball is largely n col
lcEr game tn" different Y. NJ. G. A.
| organizations an' athletic clubs of the
| country have taken it up extensively
and the game is even being played
| professionally in the east. In the pro-
| feSSlonal games, however, GO to 70
per cent of the scores are made from
| free throws, after fouls. while the col
| legiatc and amateur games are fairly
| free from roughness.
| Harvard university is probably the
| only large college in the country that
does not play the game. the Crimson

game. Just to show that basketball is
not a ladies' game. it may be men
toned that the Minneapolis high
schools are allowed to play football,
while basketball is barred

the eastern intercollegiate champion
ship last year, winning the play off of
a tie with Princeton. The eastern in

is composed of Yale, Cornell, Prince

Athletics Will Make Good
Showing With New. Men
in the Lineup.

Connie Mack, the veteran manager
Of the Athletics. proposes to put a real
baseball team in the running for tho
American league pennant this year
instead of the bunch Of misfits that
represented Philadelphia last year. If
Joe BS'sh had been with some other
team in 1915, the Athletics would have
dropped into Glass II, instead of being
able TO win SO games ont OF schedule
of 1854.
Last year Connie, after breaking mp
the combination that won several
pennants for the White Elephants, ex-
pcrimented with q number of collcgians
and independent players, and none of
them showed major league class. This
year Mack has sworn off on this in
expensive system. and says that he
will have as good n team as ever in
the running. 1t will be remembered
that Connie promised the Philly fans
that he would win the 1917 pennant.

any team in the country. Wallie
Schang, 4 veteran in experience but q

Never and Pichinich fighting for the
other two places. Due to being placed
in the outfield and at third base last
year, Schang was not as valuable to
the Athletics as he would have been If
he had been working back of the plate.
Joe Bush and Myers will be the
mainstays of the pitching staff, and
both are much sought after by every
manager in the Junior circuit Bush
won nearly half of the games the
Athletics captured last year, and
pitched eight shutouts. besides turning
in a no-ht game. Sheehan, who won
one game out of 16 last year, and was
the widest pitcher in the league. will
get another trial, and the other twirl-
ers to return are johnson and Majors.
Noyes from Portland and Hill from
Waco are two promising recruits.

will he back at first base, and can, as
usual, be counted on to hit 300 or
better. Roy Grover from Butte will
cover the keystone, with Bates. from
the Pacific coast league. on third base.
Witt, the only one of all the semi pro
players that Mack picked up who
showed enough promise to make his
retention certain, VIII again be at
shortstop.
The outficld will be composed of
three good men. Strunk, who was
just behind the three leaders, Speaker
Cobb ana Jackson. in the batting av-
"rages, will play center again. Ping"
Eodic the sturdy slugger from San
Francisco who busted al the fences
in the Pacific Coast league ball parks
with his long drives during the earlier
months Of last season. will play right,
with Thrashor. who did some heavy
hitting in the southern league last
year playing left field. Mack has other
material besides those named and
should finish in the first division at
least i'll 1917.
