CITY LIKELY
TO PURCHASE
OPENING LOT
Proposition for Connecting
Egbert Court May Gain
Approval.

The matter of opening up Egbert
court to connect with Fourth street
was taken up informally by the city
commissioners this morning. and 1t is
probable that arrangements will be
made to purchase lot owned by A. A
Garfield for street purposes, though
no action can be officially taken atathis
time as there is no appropriation
provided.
At the, present time the city owns
a piece Of ground so feet deep and rs
feet wide on the west side of Fourth
street. at the end of Eighth avenue
Egbert court. however. lies about rs
feet north of Eighth avenue. With the
purchase of the Garfield lot, which
faces the north on Egbert court, a
reverse curve can be put in, connect
ing the court with the end of the ave.
nue.. In no Wav could Eighth avenue
and Egbert court be made to connect
without the curve.
President Stern. of the commission
reported that the Garfield lot and the
house on 1t can be purchased by the
city for $4,000. or the lot alone can be
secured for $2.700.

Killed Interest.

With four members of the team en-
listed in the United States navy, and
interest of, the students at the lowest
possible ebb, it is highly probable that
baseball at Fargo college will be aban-
doned for this spring before the next

Such step is being considered, 1t
was said last night, and definite an
nouncement of the abandonment is ex-
pected at any time.
The four enlistments have disrupted
the infield, and. broken up the pitching
staff. Those to enlist are: John Keye,
third baseman-pitcher; j. Norby, first
baseman; L. Norby, shortstop. and
Claude Baxter, pitcher. Keye is a Far
go boy. The others live at GAINESVILLE.
Lack of interest in athletics at the
school has been noticeable since the
declaration of hostilities with Ger
many, athletic officials Of the school
say, and they feel there is little use
continuing under the circumstances.
