Furthermore, the Buccaneers were
not disposed to let Cuyler go with

Basketball League
Will Be Organized
at Fort Lincoln.

Old Fort Lincoln, the scene of
many of the most colorful events
in North Dakota history, will add
another note to it's scale Of life
with the organization of the first
basketball teams by Lieut.. George
A. Dietz, post sports officer.
The fort was unoccupied except
for brief interim during the World
War until the fourth infantry sta
toned a battalion there this fall
for the first time since 1905, when
basketball was just beginning to be
played in North Dakota.
Lieut.. Dietz has announced that
within the next 10 days, teams will
be formed among the different
companies and they will play
regular schedule of games during
the winter in the army gymnasium.
Organization Of a team to repre-
sent the post is also likely and con-
tests will be booked with the indie
pendent teams along the Big Muddy
and other parts Of North Dakota.

SET DATE NEAR APRIL 10
Three New Parks Will Be
Built Among Association
Cities

Dallas, Texas, Dec. 6.--(Ay--Aft.
er three days of maneuvering fca-
tured by spirited arguments in the
Western league camp, harmony pre-
vailed today among officers Of var
ious minor circuits as they joined
for the initial session Of the con-
yeution Of the National Association
Of Professional Baseball clubs.
The American Association was
the first to solve the preseason
problems. In dealing with major
league owners Of minor clubs the
owners placed . clause in its re-
vised constitution providing that
the board Of directors must approve
all franchises sales. The club own
crs further specified that the assoc
citation must be given the opportun-
ity to buy any franchise in case the
ssle was disapproved.
Effect Compromise.
THIS was Z compromise in the eff

4Cfu sbf . resolution Urging exclu-
siopk { association clubs purchased
By the National or American
leagues Tor use - farms. The first
lex . ' = : ''1' = 4''' '''.
The association then turned to
plans for record breaking season,
with Indianapolis announcing q new
plant under construction while
Toledo and Milwaukee are rebuild
ing their parks. The attendance for
last season was fixed ct 100000.
Completion Of the association
schedule was planned today. The
opening games have beeu awarded
to Toledo, indianapolis, Louisville
and Columbus probably April 10 or
II. slightly earlier than last year.
Franchises Non. Transferable
The national arbitration board
settled the question Of whether
Oklahoma city and Tulsa should be
permitted to withdraw from the
Western league to join the Texas
league, by ruling the franchises
were Western league property and
could not be transferred without
consent Of other clubs owners.
This sent the Western league
owners into another huddle to
emerge after several hours with
the announcement that al difficult
ties had disappeared. They ar.
ranged . split season Of 1873 games,
opening April IL and closing Sep
tember Is, with . five-game post
season play off series. The opening
dates will be split between the nor
thern and southern clubs. Final APP
prevail Of the schedule was left for
today.

"Pittsburgh's leading victory was
over Nebraska" said DIR. Dickinson,
in explaining his rating system, land
they were tied by w. E. ]. The Illi-'
nois record included victory over
Michigan and a tie with Iowa State.
Pittsburgh's tie was a better show
ing than Illinois but their victory
over Nebraska would not count as
heavily as the victory Of Illinois
over Michigan, whose only defeats
were by the first and third teams in
the national standing, Illinois and
Minnesota"
The Dickinson system awards 80
points for victory over a strong
team and 20 for victory o. e. a weak
team. Defeats count half as much
as victories am lies a considered as
games half won and half lest. Di-
viding this total by the number of
games played gives the final rating.
Illinois is the fourth national
champion to hold the Rissman
trophy awarded under the Dickin-
son system. Notre Dame, Dart
mouth and Leland Stanford were
the previous holders.

on such occasions.
The whistle is used in teaching the
birds some difficult note or succession
of notes. The whistle is blown again
and again by the bird raiser. BY imi-
tating the repetitions of the note or
strain the little birds finally learn it,.
And ''once learned, never forgotten"

Scientific tests have divulged the
information that the colors Of canary
birds can be controlled to a certain
extent by the feed which is provided
for their consumption. For example,
the use of sweet red peppers in the
ration will usually deepen the color of
the songster's coat. This is particu-
