TO FIGHT
PRINTING Law
LEAGUE PAPER ORGANIZATION
MUST BE COMPLETED AS ,sa
SOON AS POSSIBLE

Action taken by the North Dakota
press association, consisting of I. v.
a. editors, presages a war to the fin
ish against the newly established
farmers press Of North Dakota and is
. tribute to the power of the farmer
papers. It also makes imperative re-
doubled efforts by the farmers TO per-
feet the organization of papers, in
every county Of the state. .fpa
Foremost among the moves of the
opposition is an attempt soon to Ne
.launched to destroy the printing law
by having it declared unconstitution-
.al. Procedure to this end will be push
ed BY some Of the most able I. v. A,E
lawyers in the state. ..>~s. &.s> .,G
Under this law, the people Of the.
various counties by direct vote desig-
nate the papers they want as the Of,
ficial county papers. Only such papers
ara 70 print official notices and paid
legN notices. As the League is in !
majority in most Of the counties. in
the state, the opposition fears that
wheh the people choose the official pa
pers, the League papers will be favor
led n . majority Of cases. f,@ '%s,t
u the place Of this law, they want
to restore the old condition wherein
the county commissioners designated
snch papers as they chose for official
papers. As the opposition controls q
large majority Of the county commis-
sioners, they hope in this way to d.
vert public funds to the support of pa
Epers engaged in fighting the farmers'
fpI01 nam and attempting to restore
the poNersofs the Minneapolis Chamher
Fof Commerce in North Dakota. Il,
Under the old printing law, the
gang county commissioners virtually
controlled several papers in each coun-
ty by cunning distribution of public
patronage. These papers were a. part
Of the gang machine that controlled
the state, which caused the farmers
so much trouble and means to over
throw. It is not probable that the OPP
position will be bale to overthrow the
new printing law, but their desperate
efforts to do so, makes it important
that the farmers keep up their efforts
until their press is on solid footing
and is able to meet any contingency
that may arise in the future. ]
The Nv. A. editors killed resolu.
ton aimed at foreign speaking papers
in North Dakota when it became ap-
parent that this resolution would des-
troy !. ". A. foreign language papers,
By having papers Of more extensive
foreign language circulation than the
League during the referendum election
the opposition was able to blind and
fool many farmers who otherwise
would have been for, the new laws.

upheld his top ten ranking on the
Meadow Clubs lawn tennis courts here
today. In the finals of the singles for
the newly offered Meadow Club chai-
Ienge cup the former Yale captain de-
feated Willis Z, Davis. the Pacific coast
star. In straight sets The score was
S-4, So. SIS. The respective point
totals for the contest were 100 to so.
Garland outplayed his rival from
every position 10 the court. The Cali.
fornian's powerful service he brushed
aside to break through no less than
four OF Davis service games. II was
impossible for Davis TO gain and hold
the net position. When he moved up
to volley Garland shot the ball past
him by his perfectly managed drives
or cAnnonaded his low back hand.
The latter was the vulnerable point
In the armor OF the Californian for he
rarely got ball back across the net
when compelled to take 1t on his left
side.
Garland also secured a holding of
the doubles bowls with William T.
Tilden, second, a. his partner. The
Anal even mastered Randolph Lycett
and r. v. Thomas, the Australians by
the score OF rs. az. Ga.

to any degree OF accuracy under the
cleverly varied game of Garland.
There was also brief exhibition

national champion, and Norman E.

in three sets by the score Of So, as.

Unless the Colts take a decided
slump in their batting and the pitch
ers fail to show their old form the
Colts will certainly get one of the
three encounters and come back here
still at the top Of the heap. II Ben
der loses one OF the games he pitches
he will certainly go back after them.
The Tars have been going like the
proyerbial house on fire these last two
weeks. and the Colts are just about
the only team in the league that can
put a stop to their little rampage.
Manager Bender and the other Colts
are trimming over with optimism
and they believe they will get two
OF them from Mouse Dome Schwarta
and his club. They are certainly not
experiencing any worries over the
possibilities OF dropping all three OF
them to the home talent. Should the
Colts get two OF them II will give them
a commanding lead for the flag.
The Tars are at home all of this
week AS soon as Richmond leaves

come home and play Newport News.

BY ERNEST POLLARD

When the Richmond Colts captured
both ends Of the double attraction at
Boulevard held yesterday afternoon.
they brought to close q most sue
cessful week. though 1t started out as
II one fraught with disaster. In spite
Of the fact that the Benderites dropp-
ed the first two games OF the week TO
the Petersburg Coolers, they pulled
Themselves together in great style and
breexed through with five victories
out Of the seven battles staged dur
ing the week. Chief Bender and his
boys took one out of three from the
Coolers and then made it four
straight over the Rubes.
With the clubs not very far apart
the tight for the penant now lies be-
tween Norfolk and the home boys.
and before the end of the week the
fans will possibly be able to know
Just about how the honors are going.
Tomorrow morning the Colts leave
for three-game series with the Tars
on the latter's grounds. Chief Bender
will certainly hurl one OF the encoun-
tiers 1eainse the Tars and If the occa-
sion demands he stands READY to go
into the box twice. At the present
time the Colts haye won twenty-seven
and lost seventeen, while the Tars
have taken twenty-six and lost TWEEN
ty. The Colts can lose two out of the
three in Norfolk and then be lead
ing by narrow margin On the other
hand, IL Richmond drops three
straight ~ Norfolk here's how the
two clubs will stand:
Won Lost Pet.
Norfolk .......... 20 90 .5s3
Richmond 81 90 .574
Should the Colts win one game and
lose two of the games the standing
will be as follows:
Won Lost Pct.
Richmond ...... % 10 1916
Norfolk ......... IS 81 .571
ExpeCf to Maintain Lead.
