REVIVAL OF
LEAGUE IS
ABANDONED
Giving up Hope for North
ern League, Plans Made
For Dakota League.

Aberdeen, S. D., Feb. Slopes of
Minnesota, Wisconsin,, North Dakota
and Canadian towns to have reorgan-
lied the old Northern league have
completely fickered out for the time
being, for Mike Cantillon. president Of
the Dakota league. has issued a call
for representatives of clubs in six
North and South Dakota cities to be
a: Aberdeen February 10 for the pur-
pose of planning another season for
tho Dakota league.
President Cantillon has advised
franchise holders in the Dakota league
that after corresponding. with base
ball lmagnates in Duluth, Superior,
Brainerd, st. Cloud. Bemidji, Virginia,
Fargo, Winnipeg and Marshall, he
believes that there were greater OPP
portunities in continuation OF play in
the k league than in the pro-
posed r~eorganized Northern league.
At The present it seems that the
Dakota circuit will be an e%ight-club
affair, with six clubs certain. Two of
the clubs will be from North Dakota.
Success Of the Wahpeton-Brecken-
ridge movement has encouraged
Fargo and Moorhead to back a league
team together. The other assured
WATERFOWL and Aberdeen. It is also
considered possible that Madison and
Marshall may be added, completing
an eight-club wheel.
President Cantillon in his letter TO
the six clubs wrote that good players
should be obtained for salaries as low
as 20 per CEN below the standard of
last year. He mentioned that disco
luton Of the, Range league in Mime
sofa and the probable slackened in
teres: in semi-professional baseball as
indicative Of better players being
signed for less money.

MATTY'S
STANDS THE TEST
Struck Out Nearly Three
Times More Than He
Passed; Average High.

The more baseball sharps study the
work of Christy Mathewson on the
mound the more secure becomes the
position OF big Six" az probably the
greatest pitcher of all time.
While the former Giant star, whose
work is linked. with the success of
John McGraw. lis battling with a dire
the northern part Of h state, it is a
lifting tribute to him to go into the
records and see what the figures show
he accomplished while on the mound.
In the first place he vas a National
league pitcher for seventeen seasons,
beginning, in 1900 and ending in 1916,
the year before he went to Cincinnati
to manage that club.
Outside Of his first year, 1915, when
his arm first played him false, and
1902, he always won more games than
he lost. He dropped below 500 in
his percentage, therefore, only in those
years. and. in one of them-19O2-he
had a mark of .419. In his first year
he failed to win a single game of the
SIX he started and lost three. In 1902
he took part in 80. Of which he lost Is,
and in 1915 he lost IA and won but s
out OF q he started in. These were
The only bad years he had.
All told. during these seventeen
seasons nc took part in $40 games,
winning 372 of them and losing but
1871. A notable feature Of his work
is noticed in this. that Of all the games
he began he failed to finish in only
/ His grand average for, his long
stretch OF pitching was .665, this mark
for Abs innings of work. Less than
a hit an inning did he allow the bat
rerss who faced him, for they garnered
only 4,317 bingles off him. and he
struck cut more than half as many
as hit him successfully-2,297 to be
exact. In control the wonder Of his
work shows. for Matty sent a sparse
IT'S TO first on a free ticket. nearly
one-third less than he famed. When
he was in the hole therefore, he
conquered the batter three times more
often than he failed.
During two OF the years he aver
aged 1.99 earned runs to a game, and,
outside Of his first year in the big
tent and in 1915, he did not allow
more than 800 to a full nine-lnning
game. From 1903 to 1914, inclusive,
this average ran from 200 to 800,
showing the utmost. consistency.
And to further prove what wonders
the famous pitcher performed in the
box, 1t is.oply necessary to refer to a
record Of his battle with. Hans .Wag-
nor. the famous Pittsburgh slugger,
for seventeen years. In all that time
Hans vas able to gather but three
home runs from Matty. Wagner ac-
counted for 106 hits all told, but he
only got "a extra bases of Matty in
the shape of IS two baggers, S three
sackers. besides the three homers.
for 40 total bases. II Wagner had

would not have compiled the wonder,
