Tom Mccarthy was beyond doubt
one of the most wonderful outfielders
baseball has known. He had more
wiles and strategems up his sleeve
than most entire baseball mines. He
is was who introduced the trapped
balP' on outfield flies. This play be-
came very popular, and soon after it's
discovery almost every outfielder was
attempting it. With little success,
though. He could never make it work
as Mccarthy did.
To trap a fly is to scoop it up
just as 1t hits the ground-in other
words, make a pickup of it. When a
man on base sees an easy fly going
to an outf1elder 1t is but natural that
he holds his base. When the out
fielder let's the ball hit the ground
then the man can be easily forced.
In one game Mccarthy, playing
with the Boston Nationals against
their famous rival, Baltimore, work.
ed his trap" for two double plays.
In the first men were on first and
second. The batter sent out a short
fly directly at Mccarthy. The run
ners held their bases. Tom, instead
of catching it, did the scoop act, and

Morris is tireless and does not
give an opponent a chance to take a
long breath. This would be a valu-
able asset in graphing. Morris would
not spar with a wrestling opponent,
but would come to grips at once and
insist on settlement of the question
OF supremacy.

gin tomorrow on the work of secur-
ing recruits and every section of tha

the German kaiser that he was CO.
operating with God to dominate the
world. He told them it would be
easier to defeat this combination
with the assistance of the allies than
later without the aid of Canada. The

Last Case For May Term of District
Court Is Now On
Trial.

Following the return of a verdict
of not guilty by the jury in the case
Of the state VS.. l. G. Peterson, charg-
ed with conducting an unlicensed
drinking place, Judge John A. Roes-

discharged all of the jurors for the

BY agreement Of attorneys a jury
trial was waived in the case of John
Otterstetter and wife against the

is another real estate trade in which
the claim of fraud is set up. Several
years ago the Otterstetters traded
Moorhead city property for tract of
land in Becker county. They now
claim that it is not as represented,
but is stony and of little value. F..

Charles B. Towns, the anti-drug
champion, spent some time in China
several years ago with Samuel Mer-
win the writer. In a Hong Kong
shop window they noticed some Chi
nese house coats Of particularly
striking designs, and stepped in to
purchase them.
Mr.. Towns asked Mr.. Merwin to
do the bargaining.
'Wantum coatee," said Mr.. Mer-
win to the sleepy eyed Oriental who
shuffled up with grunt. He placed
several of the coats before them.
How muchee Mclean monee"?
inquired Mr.. Merwin.
''It would aid me in transacting

you would conflne your language to
your mother tongue. The coat Is

When the matter was put to a
vote, only few supported the propo-
sition. A vote of thanks was adopt
ed, however, to Mr. Townley, F. B.
Wood, ]. N. Hagan and N. E. Whip
pie, for their efforts in the matter.
Sliding Scale Proposed.
While the Valley City conference,
like that previously held in Minot,
! was behind closed doors, none but
league members being admitted, 1t
! has become known that a sliding
scale Of wages is contemplated by
the tentative agreement.
Under the agreement proposed,
the wage would be 40 cents an hour
when wheat sells under $3.50 a
! bushel. II is exceeds that sum, the
wage rate would be increased.
TownIey Roasts Papers.
President Townley, during the
course of his remarks, said:
Il want TO say in the first place
that the state press that is fighting
the farmers and trying to create dis
sension in the league, have grossly
misrepresented what we are attempt
ing to do. There has been no plan to
force farmers to do anything they
do not want to do. You have been
/ told that an agreement has been
made binding on all you farmers,
specifying the wages you shall pay
for labor and the hours laborers
shall work.
None Bound BY Plan.
"That is, of course, absurd. No
league committee can bind any Of
you. And no agreement has yet been
made. The league and the A. w. U.
committees have simply proposed an
agreement. There is nothing in your
pledge as league members that binds
you to do anything else than to stick
together to vote for men nominated
for office by your own delegates
you agreed to nothing else when you
became league members and you are
bound by nothing else"
Coates States Officers Position.
Bismarck. N. D., July 13.-League
members are not unanimous in their
approval of the proposed contract
with the Agricultural Workers union
to supply farm labor for North Da-
kota, ID. G. Coates, Of the Nonpart-
isan league, announced prior to the
ratification meeting here.
1T is quite natural there should be
opposition" said Mr.. Coates. "The
proposition is new and no effort is
being made to persuade the farmers
TO accept il. The agreement is sub
mitted on it's merits. II 1T does not
meet the favor of majority of the
delegates at the ratification meeting
IL win be dropped. If 1t is ratified by
the delegate conventions, referen-
dunn vote of the entire league mem
bership will be taken, and only when
we find a great majority of league
members want it, viii we enter into
q contract
Terms Of the agreement" said
Coates, are much more liberal than
the press has represented. In a gem
eral way, the union asks a minimum
wage Of 81 for q ten-hour day, and a
certain standard Of working condi-
9ions. have looked into the union
and tt seems TO be on q much better
basis than heretofore"

THE GERMAN GOD IDENTIFIED

THE GERMAN GOD IDENTIFIED.
Outlook: The crueltfes perpetrat-
ed by German soldiers under the
commands of their superior officers
have surprised and Mortified all
Christendom. But, however, they
might have Mortified, they should
not have surprised us. When people
revolt against pagan power. pagan
power knows no mercy in quelling
the revolt. 1t recognizes no virtue
in the ruler but authority. no virtue
in the ruled but submission. In
1918 a member of the German reich
stag, repeating what in substance
had been repeated by various Ger
man authors during nearly half a
century. wrote:
I'm warfare the greatest absence
of scruples, If one sets about the mat
ter intelligently, comedies in reality
with the greatest humanity. When
London by a method in our possess
sion, it is more humane to do so
than to allow a single one of our
German comrades to shed his blood
on the field of battle, for so radical
a cure would bring about peace as
quickly as possible. Hesitation,
temporiZing, sentimentality, and con-
sideration are objectionable weak
nesses. A decided INSCRIPTIONS ac-
tion-a display of efficacy, and vic
tory follows.
For the religion of love, service,
and sacrifice these new apostles sub
stitute what one of them calls "the
religion Of valor". For God mani
tested to man by an Incompatible
life of love, service, and sacrifice
these apostles of the new faith sum-
mon the people to go back to the
worship of the pagan gods. One ex-
tract from a recent German poet,
whose poem is said to have enjoyed
a large circulation in Germany, must
here suffice:
"The foes Of Germany, fun of irony,
inquire:
pray TO him
TO aid you in the battle.
SO you have a God of your own
Whom we know not.
