Red River Vallev

Fargo, N. D.-J. e. Callasan, trav-
cling freight agent for the Northern
Pacific, expressed the opinion in Far
go recently that the Red River valley
Will raise more potatoes than wheat

"There is going to be tremendous
acreage of potatoes in 1922" said Mr..
Callahan. II am convinced from what
! have learned of the potato situation
in extensive travelling over this Sec
ton, and after coming into contact
with the potato growers and shippers
throughout this territory, that the po-
,tato acreage will be doubled in the
Red River valley"
He said the Northern Pacific had
Shipped $500 carloads of potatoes
from its territory, according to the
last report he received as compared
with $500 carloads up to, the same
date last year.

M,E.PROcRAM
IS ANNOUNCED
Announces Activities
for l922-1927

The new Methodist program for
1922-1927 which was adopted at the
recent Methodist National Conference
was announced in statement made
today by the Rev. Geo. Mecklenburg'
Area Secretary of the Helena Area.
This program will be in charge OF
committee of twenty-five members, lay
and clerical, of which at least fifteen
shall be members of the Council of
Board of Benevolences. This Com
mittee shall be submitted not later
than January 1, 1928 the results of
careful survey of the entire church
at home and abroad. This committee
will submit to the Council of Board
of Benevolences complete outline for
their meeting in June, 1923.
The conditions today emphasize new
needs and compel now and enlarged
programs for all churches. Today in
the city of Washington the nations OF
the day are planning for the longed-
for time when the war drums shall
throb no longer and the battle flags
shall be furled. The hope for the en-
bodiment of this national ideal in the
life of the world lies largely with the
churches. The work already done by
the Methodist Church thru its centen-
ary movement during the past two
years has been of large significance
in laying the foundations for good will
among the nations. Millions of dol
lars have been spent by this church
for reconstruction work in Europe, for
the care of orphans and for the feed
ing Of hungry millions.
The program contemplated for the
next five years by the Methodist
church might be briefly summarized
rs follows:
l. 1t is program of evangelical
ton embodying and vitalizing the nor
NAL agencies Of the church, for deep
ening and quickening the religious life
and the spiritual passion of every
member of the church. The goal is
that each member CT the church shall
be an evangelist wit a resistless zeal
for Christian conquest.
2. 1t is program of education car
ried to every department of the local
church reaching the last member Of
the last church. This educational pro
gram will include very thoro in
struction in the relation of property
to life and to spirituality. 1t will alst
include thoro study of The place O.
prayer in Christian life and tn,
world conquest
3. The program contemplates
larger enlistment of the laymen O
the church. For this purpose the Uni
system, which organizes every churcl
into groups of about Thirty person
with a leader for each group, will b.
instituted in every church during tn
coming years.
a. The future program also con
templates a better financial system i
every church because the future pro
gram demands the raising of million
OF dollars every year to carry out tn
spiritual program of the church.
Today the doors of the world ar
open wide. The program Of the Meth
odist Church is s:rategicalIy place
at home and abroad. The time is no,
ripe for forward march. Our leader
IN the home and foreign field have or
portunities we'll nigh unimaginablt
This is an hour unparalleled for Chris
tianity.

All you have to do to start big Ed KOnetchy, first baseman of the pen nant-winning Robins to flaming, is to suggest the name of your Uncle Will bert for conversation, KOney says:
 Do you want to know the secret of Brooklyn's success last season? That's easy, It isn't a secret at all. Just Robbie. That old scout can handle ball club better than any man l ever saw. ! have been cruising around in the National league for IA years, and I have never come across a manager like Robbie until joined the Brooklyn team.
 Say, that guy knows how to slap ball player on the back better than any man in the world. That stuff about the Robins being a happy fami- ly ain't no kid. There isn't a man on it that doesn't think Robbie is the greatest guy in the game, and that's why they hustle for him. There are no factions in the club. In game not long ago when I was lucky enough to tie up the score with a home run, Robbie ran at me in the clubhouse after the game and gave me a wallOp between the shoulder blades that near

MATHIS FAST BALLS
 ONES THAT COUNTED

Christy Mathewson had about as much speed as any pitcher ever had when he wanted to use 1t. Matty was pitching his last game of the season of 1904 against the St. Louis Browns, with Frank Bowerman catching him. In the ninth inning, with two down, an official tipped Bowernan that Matty was within one of the National league strike-out record, and to get Beckley, the next and last man up. "I guess 1 can," said Matty when Frank had put him wise.
 Bowerman signa1led for fast one and it whizzed past old Jake before he had his bat up; then he called for an other just like 1t. Pretty fast" growl ed "O1d Eagle Eye" as that one slipped by him with the speed of a racer driven by Barney Oldheld.
 Then the foxy Bowerman signalled for one of Matty's famous straight drops, "and as sure as m living" said Frank, that ball came over the plate high enough for a strike, and 1 had to get it on the pickup and tag Eagle Eye, who made the 10th man to whiff at the tremendous speed that Matty used on that cold October day, when he equalled the league record in strike-outs. To get a batsman of the calibre of Beckley, who was a bona fde 300 hit ter, on three called strikes gives one who never saw Matty pitch slight hint what a wonderful thrower he was.

BRETON AGAIN PROVES BETTER MAN
 THAN KID LEWIS
Retains Welterweight Champion ship After Slashing 15-Round
 Go in New York.

Jack Britton, the worlds we1ter- weight champion, cleverly defended his title against Ted Lewis, who claims the English championship, i'll a Is round bout at the Madison Square Garden, New York, on Monday night. The judges agreed on Britton as the win ner.
 The men weighed in at 145 pounds eight hours before they entered the ring. Both were in excellent condition. Lewis had the better of the exchanges in the first two rounds during which both con- testants battled with their tongues as protested against Lewis having rubber protector in his mouth to guard his teeth.
 When the bell had separated the men at the end of the second round some one in Lewis corner shouted at Britton who turned quickly and rushed back to Lewis corner, sending his gloved left hand into the face of Charley Harvey, Lewis manager. Lewis eook a swing at Britton almost at the same moment and 1t looked for a time as if there was going to be a free-for-a1l fight in the corner.
 Referee Dick Nugent, of Buffalo, stepped toward the men who by this time ndQ been separated Dy Ine1r handlers, and Britton returned to his own corner. One of the boxing com missicners, who was at the ringside, decided that Lewis had right to wear the rubber guard and there was no more quibbing on this point
 From the beginning of the third round, the champion got his clever left hand working in good shape and he kept jabbing and hooking it provoking ly into Lewis face, occasionally mixing these blows with rights to the head or to the stomach. Lewis seemed unable to avoid Britton's baffing left-hand in every round thereafter except the 10th, during which he managed to land two telling lefts and a right swing on Brit tons head. This round was about even, and with the exception of the first two, B1itton had the honors in all the others.

Sports of All Kinds
 in Brief
CARD GAMBLING
 AMONG PLAYERS IS
 BARRED BY CUBS
Players Must Also Stop African Golf for High Stakes,
 Rules Evers.

Chicago, Feb. 11-"Johnny Evers and l have decided that there will be no crap shooting or high limit poker play ing on our club next season"
 President William L. Veeck of Chi cago National baseball club this week, joined the group of big league managers who have decided to try to eliminate all gambling in baseball next season.
 Branch Hickey, manager of the St Louis Cardinals, always opposed to gambling, has put his foot down abso- lutely on all gambling in his club for next season. Miller Huggins of the Yankees and Kid Gleason of the White Sox have done likewise, and according forbid the Tennessee Tidd1e-De Winks and fve-card entertainment during the 1921 season.
 It IS no blue law departure, according to President Veeck, but a simple busi- ness proposition, and If the ball players attempt to kick over club rules, some ot the stars are going to find them selves looking for new jobs.
 Judge Landis may be asked to make ruling on this question and to impose penalties for infractions of it. Fans have been arrested for betting on the games, players have been indicted for conspiring with gamblers, but players have ganbled so heavily among them selves that some of them at times are so worried over losses that they cannot play ball or are placed in a position where throwing a game is an easy way out of debt.
 This is the position that the managers are taking. Ball players have lot of time on their hands on trains, in hotels, and in the clubhouse. Cards and dice are the two favorite amusements. Last year there was more heavy play among the bgi leaguers than ever before. Crap games often developed to the point where $40O and $500 a ''pass" was not uncommon, and instances where play CTS have lost $1,OOO in a single game were recorded during the season.
 Ball players can't give their best work when they are worrying about gambling losses,' said Veeck. "The player who loses heavily can't keep his mind on his work. It is none of our business what they do during the win ter, but 1t Is our bushes what they do during. the season and you can depend on Evers to stop the gambling on our club.'
 The White Sox club of 1920 was a great gambling club, despite the orders of Manager Gleason. In denying that the club was divided into cliques of crooked and square ball players. Buck Weaver, the famous third baseman, who is indicted as one of the Black Sox," declared that "the only clique on the club were those who could lose a few dollars in a poker game without ho1lering and those who couldn't" The players who saved their money were not popular with the others.
 Those who could lose few dollars without hollering are the same players who will face trial here in week or two charged with throwing the 1919 worlds series.
 They'll play hearts or old maid on the White Sox next season." said Sec retary Harry Grabiner.

INDIANS HAVE FIND
 IN YOUNG BOXMEN
Nine Rookie Pitchers Expected to Set Pace This
 Season.

Cleveland, Feb. 11.-The pitching roster of the Cleveland Indians shows that Speaker has nine young pitchers to look over. Cykowski and Petty made the training trip. Petty went to In dianapolis and Cykowskl, fresh from the sand1ots, was farmed out to Des Mones. Ted Odenwald is the Wisconsin high school boy who last summer and after ward pitched such excellent ball for Des Moines that other Western league clubs sought to purchase him from Cleveland.
 Potts and Edwards are left-handers Scout Pat Flaherty picked up i'll the Delta league. Henderson, a right handler, was in the same circuit Elli- son halls from the University of Cali forna and was with the Indians for two months last summer, pitching to them i'll batting practice and working an inning i'll a game with the Red SOX.
 Hamilton Is student at the Univer- sity of Iowa and also worked with the tribe last season, as did Kimes of Ohio State University. Kimes, who was elected captain of the 1920 o. $. U. team, joined the Cardinals last summer, and upon being released by Hickey, worked out with the Indians juts be- fore the worlds series. He Is left handler.
 The pitching squad contains 10 right handlers and six southpaws. By the time the season is under way, 1t is be- 1ieved it will consist of seven right handlers and two or three 1eft-handers.

AMERICAN LEAGUERS PUT
 IT OVER THEIR BROTHERS IN
 THE NATIONAL LEAGUE
Clean Up More Long Hits and Other Things and Threaten to Repeat This Season.

An annual achievement of the Amer ican league batsmen is to make more long hits that clear the bases than the National league hitters do, showing one or two things-that the Johnson ties are better hitters in a pinch or the Heydlerites are better pitchers in a pinch. The 1920 figures for the two major leagues give the junior leaguers credit for 43 cleanup blows and the senior leaguers credit for 30. On the two circuits there were 31 doubles that swept the bases clear of their three runners, 30 triples and l2 home runs.
 The National 1eaguers weer outclass- ed in only one respect in this depart ment of long and timely hitting-in home runs. George Lange Kelly, first baseman of the Giants, was the one Heydlerite who produced a belt line while eight Johnsonites turned i'll this trick. Babe Ruth, strange to say, wasn't t one of them, according to statistics com- piled by Ernest J. Lanigan.
 Kelly a nephew of Bill Lange, fam ous outhelder of the Chicago Nationals when Adrian Anson was their manager, was the one player on the two big cir cults able to manufacture one of each variety of long hits scoring three men, He doubled against Melvin Albert Gal lia of the Philleis on May 20; tripled against E1wood c. Martin of the Cubs on July 10, and homered against Phile Weinert of the Phils on June IS. These three clouts meant 10 runs for the New York team, Kelly getting credit for batting himself home on his four-bag- ger off the Quaker southpaw
 The other. maj or leaguers of 1910 making as many long hits clearing the bases as the nephew of the famous Bill were Larry Gardner and Elmer Smith of Cleveland, and Joe Jackson of Ch1ca- go in the American, and Rogers Horns by of St. Louis, in the National.
 Players making two doubles that scored three men were Eddie Collins of the White Sox, Cliff Heathcote of the Cardinals and Pete Kilduff of the Superbas; players making triples were John Collins of the White Sox, Larry Gardner of the Indians and Rogers Hornsby of the Cardinals, and players making homers were Ping Bodle of the Yankees, Joe Jackson of the Indians.
 Fourteen pastimers were able to do the cleanup act more than once last year.
 Those who made three long hits that cleared bases were:
 AMERICAN LEAGUERS
 Jackson, Chicago-One triple and two home runs.
 Smith, Cleve1and-One double and two home runs.
 Gardner, Cleveland-One double and two triples.
 NATIONAL LEAGUERS
 Kelly, New York-One double, one triple and one home run.
 Hornsby, St. Louis-One double and two triples.
 Those who made two long hits that cleared bases were:
 AMERICAN LEAGUERS
 Bodie, New York-Two home runs.
 McInnis, Boston-Triple and home run.
 Pratt, New York-Double and home run.
 Severeid, St. Louis-Double and triple.
 J. Collins, Chicago-Two triples.
 E. Collins, Chicago-Two doubles.
 NATIONAL LEAGUERS
 Paskert, Chicago-Double and triple.
 Heathcote, St. Louis-Two doubles.
 Kilduff Brooklyn-Two doubles.
