HOPE F|REMEN HOLD
INTERESTING MEETING

The annual meeting of the Hope
VOLUNTEER Fire Department was held
at the City Hall Tuesday evening.
The officers, including Chief E. NJ.
Fuller, Asst Chief Trammell and
Foremen Egan, of the Engine CO.,
Hanley, of the Hook and Ladder, and
Thorsland OF the Hose Co., were re
elected to their respective Offices. A
number of important matters were
discussed and the meeting was a
lively one. The idea of club room
for the boys, which has been dis
cussed on previous occasions, met
with such favorable comment that
it is probable that special meeting
will be called in the near future to
take some definite action on the SUBJ
tect. A committee was appointed to
see what could be done to assist in
the entertainment on Soldiers Home
Coming Day, June 14th.

SCHOOL NOTES

The sixth meeting of the teachers
parents association took place last
Monday afternoon. Through the ef-
forts of our executive committee, Miss
Jenson, of the Fargo Agricultural
Sshool, was procured as the speaker
Of the afternoon. Due to the ,act
that the meeting was held little
earlier than usual, so that Miss Jen-
son might catch the train, and also
because this was an irregular meet
ing time, the attendance was much
smaller than heretofore. Those who
were not able to come missed a
great treat for Miss Jenson surely had
message and her talk was enjoyed
to its fullest by all who were there.
Miss Jenson's topic was, Making a
Living. She pointed out the value Of
training in whatever lines of activity
our work may fall, and she emphasiz-
ed tn. need of adaptability, of being
satisfied with ones surroundings, of
loyalty to ones superiors, and of con-
tinual preparation to be worthy of the
high position which is waiting some

The school house was practically

seem to have been trying very hard
to earn the half holiday which is
granted to those rooms where attend

order. From total average of 70
minutes OF tardiness per room per
month we have cut it down to less
than three per cent on the average.
We hope to wipe out the remaining

KID MCCOY IS SEEN
 IN BROKEN BLOSSOMS

Norman SeIby, who in his fighting days went by the nom de guerre of ''hd' Mccoy. gave Larry Williams an opportunity to see his old friend in acton once ore during the show ing of Broken Blossoms at Polls.
 Selby was chosen by D. W Grif fch to play the part Of the defeated opponent of Batting B-rrows in the photopIay because of the fact that during the time he appeared in the ring Mccoy was known by his admir- CTS as the one clean, crafty, adept master of his profession, It was plain to those directing the picture that the scene of the fight In the ring must be no less realistic and artistic than any of the other scenes in this drama of the London slUms.
 Following the performance Will jams was heard to remark to several of his friends, Mccoy could have put 1t all over that guy Burrows if the fight wasn't a movie frameup. Ina . Battling bird may be tough but my money would be On the Kid if the two ever got to mixing it up in an open lot"

Major League Clubs
 Locking for Boxmen

All except a few clubs in the major leagues are exploring the depths of the minor league ivory mines for pitchers for the coming season. Base ball folk estimate there will be a greater number of young pitchers tried out in the various camps next spring than have ever been tested be- fore. In the drive to build up the clubs of both leagues manager are seking pitchers beyond all else. Any promising young pitcher need no longer hide his light under a bushe1. If he's got anything resembling a curve, good speed and control, all he need do is step into one of the big league offices and enroll for the Southern tour in February.
 The Boston Red Sox. for instance, have 14 pitchers on their roster Of course half of these will be dropped before the season of 1920 begins The Yankees will have at least a dozen when they pitch camp in Jackson vile. Connie Mack will take a whole raft of fedgling twirlers into the Louisiana sticks for training. Both St. Louis clubs are signing all the young pitchers they can unearth.

BALL PLAYERS SELDOM SUCCEED AS PUGIISrS
 PAST RECORDS SHOW

The expressed wish Of Babe Ruth to meet Jack Dempsey within the squared circle calls to mind other ball players or unpires who have pos sessed fistic talent to a marked de gree.
 In the game today are a handful of players and umpires who bear repu- tations as sEiIfII mitt artists. though with possibly one exception, none has tried his hand at the glove sport. the Giants, Truck Hannah of the Yam kees, Hugo Bezdek, manager of the Pirates; Harry Heilrnan of Detroit, Mike McNallv of the Red Sox, Brad ley Kocher, formerly with the Tigers and Giants and now catching for the Louisville club of the American Asso- citation, and Bill Evans and George RIoriarty, indicator handlers in the American League, are rated as good men with their fists.
 A few years ago Arthur DevIin and Arthur Bridewen of the Giants, Charles Schmidt of the Tigers Frank Chance. Butch schmidt of the Braves and Kid Gleason, now the manager of the White SOx, earned the respect ! of their fellows by their proficiency in the art of give and take, a1li1i in the dim and iridescent past Mike Kelly, the famous catcher. and Tom Ester Brook of the old 'F9Mets" and Giants and Honest John Kelly and Tim Hurst, the umpires, were regarded as wicked fist singers.
 l Of those mentioned Charlie Schmidt ] is the only one who is known to have l seriously aspired to pugtlistic fame and to have put his talent to tf4e test
 Some years ago, when Johnson was in his prime and ruled the ring
 Schmidt became i1n'bued with the ides 1 that he could whip the Galveston black. In order to fit himself for s
 battle with the champion he engaged
 in a number of ring contests, in the 1 course of which he absorbed suffcien
 punishment to convince hiIn that he
 was laboring under a delusion.
 Of the players of a. few years ago Chance was conceded to be one o:
 the most efficient in the matter O: fstcuffs. It is recalled that Franl lost a bundle of cash on the Jim Cor bett-Kid Mccoy fasco in Madison Square Garden in 1900, and i'm Imediately after sought out Corbett il
 a cafe kept by the former heavy
 weight champion. Encountering Cor bett, Chance offered to fight him o1 the spot under any known rules ol
 without any rules at all, but the chal lenge was declined by Gentleman
 Jim.
