branch out into free-for-all that
will involve all the magnates in the

When the Yankee owners made good
their promise to go to the mat with

Harry F'razee and Charles Comiskey
rallied to their colors and announced
their intention of staying with the
New Workers in the drive to get thu
goat of the league boss.
Johnson had also q few seconds in
his corner, but they were of the quiet
working variety until Clarke Griffith
came out and openly declared his dis
approval of the efforts being made to
force Johnson to report how he had
been spending the dough of the
leagues sinking fund
The words of the "old fox" leader of
the Senators had hardly come out
when the New York Boston Chicago
forces opened their big guns on him.
They claimed that Griffith used to be
an anti-Johnson man until the league
boss loaned him $4,000 to steer his
club over some rough places. They
condemn him for repudiating an inter-
view in which he, along with the
other anti-Johnson crew ,assailed Ban
when he recommended cancellation of
the league schedule in 1918. Griffith
promptly replied Glars"

British Sport Writers Confident
Joe Beckett Would Stop the
French Champion Before End
of Twenty Rounds.

LONDON (By Mail)-Because of
his poor showing last July with Dick
Smith, British light heavyweight
champion, and his subsequent failure
to keep his September engagement
with Joe Beckett British champion,
the prestige Of Georges Carpenter,
French champion heavyweight, has
fallen considerably among British
fans.
Where Carpenter some months ago
was considered a two to one bet
against Beckett it is doubtful now that
the Frenchman could enter the ring
at better odds than three to two and
with great likelihood of the betting
being even.
British sport writer's, frankly pessf-
mistic a short while ago about their
countryman's chances against Carpen-
tier, today declare they doubt whether
Carpenter could last twenty rounds
with Beckett.
They argue that his showing with
Dick Smith proves he has lost his old
time footwork though it is admitted
he is as clever as ever with his hands
In scoring points, but hasn't got
enough sting in his blows
LONG ABSENCE FELT
Five years absence from the ring
has had its effect" says the Sunday
National News, and we are better
able to weigh to what extent, since
smith has had to come at the light
heavyweight limit. Carpenter beat
him decisively in eight rounds-longer
time than it took him to overcome
Bombardier Wells and Pat O'Keefe,
but he had by no means an easy jour-
ney. On his showing against Smith,
Carpenter needs polishing up IL his
belief that he can beat Beckett is not
to be spoiled. He would be wise to
have at least one more contest before
he fights Beckett"
Carpenters victory over Smith
was close thing" says the Daily
News. More than once during the
fight it was a near thing for A1astsr

GLEAS0N'S WHITE SOX may NOT
WIN WORLDS SERIES BUT REDS
WILL Have TOPLAY BASEBALL
Chicago Team Won American
League Rag on Its Merits
and Word "FIuke" Is Out of
Place.
BY n. E. BROWN.

Chicago, Sept. 20.-The question as
to whether the Chicago White Sox are
the champions of the world for 1919
isr't settled, of course. But they have
nailed the old John American league
flag to the pole, the dope Of statis-
ticians with their mathematical argu-
mcnts Notwithstanding.
And the White Sox in my mind,
stand out as real champions.
None can stand around and yell
"fluke' at them.
lake good list at the recent team
batting averages in the American
league. The White Sox lead in about
hits. And they've made enough triples
and homers to make up for that.
First of all, they have scored more
runs than any other club. They have
slam mined out more base hits. They
have stolen more bases. Their batters
have been famed fewer times than
any other club in the league. They
have laid down more sacrifice hits.
How is that for an attack?
These facts show not only a smash
ing, driving, ball-murdering assault,
but dashing, speedy bunting, base
stealing game that has not been
eoualled by any other outfit in the new
circuit.
They have been able to mix this at
tack to switch on the word of Mana
ger Gleason. throw the opposition off
its feet and pull games out of the fire
which were apparently lost.
This terrific dual attack has en-
abled Gleason to cover up the one
weakness of his team-the pitching.
1t has been this attack which has al
lowed Cicotte and Williams to pitch
at a pace which enabled them to
work oftener than any other pair of
hurlers in the circuit.
This is not meant either to detract
from their work. Their brilliant
twirling-coupled with the timely
aid young Kerr and Red Faber
nave given them-has held the OPPOSE
ton in the pinches thereby enabling
the batters to overcome earlier losses.
And. in addition to the field strength
of the club is the added strength they
possess in Gleason, who has proved
himself to be star manager, a mas
ter at strategy and a real lead of a
real ball club.
If the Cincinnati Reds beat the
White Sox this fall they will have
the best the American league has to
offer. There will be no knocking.

FARM BUREAU PICNIC.

Riyerside Park was the scene of a
very enjoyable picnic Saturday, June
28th, when farmers of the county got
| together to meet each other and have
good time. Considerable time was
spent in getting acquainted, having
dinner, and singing Farm Bureau
songs.
After dinner, Mr.. Yampolski, Potato
Disease specialist of the North Dakota
Agricultural College, talked on the
diseases of potatoes and told how to
distinguish one disease from the other
and where to look for the disease. He
brought out some very interesting
points; that Ward county is particular
Y free from potato diseases and there
fore the farmers should be very care
full and see that only perfectly healthy
potatoes be planted, also that the
South cannot raise their own seed and
if we do our part in keeping our po-
tatoes free from disease, we will have
an unlimited market for them.
Mr.. German, county agent, discussed
the need Of watching for and prepar-
ing to combat the grasshopper that is
threatening to destroy this years crop.
The merchants of the city deserve a
great deal of credit for their generos-
ity in providing refreshments and the
members Of the Farm Bureau heartily
thank them for their splendid cooper
alton.
