M less than so box scores during the

IL credited with II victories which
show he was successful as a relief
hurler. 49,
Ed Klepfer of Cleveland pitched in
~ games during the a but did not
pitch a complete game. klepfer was
also one of the best relief hurlers in
the league.
Big Slim Love of New York worked
In only two complete games out of a
total Of 33 he took part in. Cunning
ham Of Detroit was in AZ games and
only pitched two complete.
On the other hand Babe Ruth
proved to be the iron man of the
league. He pitched in sc complete
games and was taken out only three
mates. Mays and Leonard, also broke
into the iron man column. the former

Other iron men of the league were

The Prohibition Amendment.
Congress has passed what is known
as the national prohibition amend

state legislatures is necessary in or

is a war that. If adopted,
would not only conserve food supply
but would also conserve the manhood

constitutional prohibition and has al

be ratified at this session.
The State Grain Inspection.
ut is recommended hat the state
grain grading law be amended to
make the grain inspection a depart

commissioners of it's supervision.

UNIVERSITY TEAM
TO PLAY JAMESTOWN

The university basketball season
will be officially opened for the home
floor tomorrow evening when the
team plays jamestown college. The
team will return from their Minneso-
ia trip this morning. 1t is probable
that a light practice will be held this
afternoon in preparation for the game
tomorrow evening. Barring injuries
sustained on the trip. the varsity
should have little trouble in disposing
of the Jamestown delegation. as they
have already defeated this team by
a. decisive score on their home floor.
However. the university team has
been on a hard trip, and while away
played, four games. and will be a lit
tie stale on entering the game tomor-
row night. Unless something entirely
unexpected happens, though. they
should be returned victors in the COM
ing contest.
The Jamestown college quint will
put UP a hard fight and the game
should bring out some interesting
basketball. The game will start
promptly at s p. m. The Model high
school have been trying to schedule
a game with some high school to be
played just before the varsity game,
and if this car be arranged his
game will be played tomorrow even
ing also.

team is composed Of two of last years
winning team and ten new men to

Captain Cook Of last years team
has not struck his old gait yet. but
old.time form when the Fessenden
and the Valley City fives clash.
Stenshoel at guard. and all-state man
for the last two years, will also he
in mid-season form by next week.
Buedicker at guard is one Of the sur
prises of the season, developing into
Of the most consistent players on
the team. His basket shooting has
been a feature in the games played
to date this season.
The schedule for Valley City high
school is a stiff one for the balance

broke into the limelight a few years
ago. On a tour with Hoppe two or
three years age Cochran looked like
a novice. beside the master billiardist,
he worked hard, continually
studying Hopes game and improv-
ing his own.
I. This year he has shown such phe.
nomenal billiards hat critics believe
he would be able to give the cham
pion trouble at his favorite balk- line
games.
Cochran is also a talented three
cushion player. He has never en-
tered competition for the champion
ship perhaps for the same reason
that Hoppe has refused to compete
for these honors.
The National Three-Cushion Bill
lard association rules make it i'm
perative for A champion to defend his
title every two or three months II
there is A challenger and Hoppe has
never considered the honor worth the
trouble. In the last wv years there
have been so many three-cushion
champions that scarcely anyone re-
members who they We're. Alfredo De
Orc has held the title three times in
that length of time. This rule. prob
ably also keeps Cochran from com
peting.
