SHORT ON THE SEASON The Northern League Not Making the Money That It Should. MANAGERS DISCUSS SITUATION AT GRAND FORKS. All Clubs Over Salary Limit And Deficits Stare Promoters In Face. Grand Forks, N. D., July 19.— finances weve discussed at a meeting of the Northern Base Ball League board of control in this city yesterday. The subject was handled without gloves and a purely business proposition. Grand TFork Crookston and Fargo are ready to quit for this season, while Duluth and Winni- peg want to finish the season as scheduled. It developed during the discus- sion that the Northern league was furnishing too fast an article of ball and entirely too expensive a luxury. Tn all of the cities from )00 to $3,000 was raised to support ball teams, and it is found now that if the season was chopped off at once Duluth would be about $1,700 in the hole, and Grand Forks and Fargo would be about §1,400 each worse off than nothing. Winnipeg is but little better off financially, and Super- ior is close behind, Crookston be- ing in better condition than any team in the league from a-finan- cial standpoint. All-of the cities have better teams than the patronage ac- corded will stand, Winnipeg leading in the matter of receipts, with Grand Forksa clo econd. The teams in some instar costing 00 and even mor month, ere the national agree- ment confines them to $300. None of the managers desire to quit at this stag of the game, but something must Jbe done to cut down salaries and expenses, and W. J. Price, M. Stanchfield, and E. H. Kent were appointed a committee of three to advise ways and means for reducing the cost of the teams in order that the season may be finished with the league intact. This committee will report at another meeting of the board of control held nere Thursday. Can Ride Them Dead or Alive. A railroad ticket is good for the transportation of the body of the purchaser whether he is dead or alive according to the de the Western Passenger associa- tion at the recent Houghton meet- ing. The association agreed that roundtrip tickets should be good for the transportation of the body of the purchaser if he died before completing his journey, no matter at what rate it was bought. A person in charge, however, must accompany the corpse and hold a full fare ticket. The first reports of the decision stated that no tickets purchased at reduced rates wouid be ac- cepted for the transportation of bodies of persons who diecd be- fore completing trips.

BROKE EVEN Home Team Boys Drops a Game To Sauk Centre and Wins One From Akeley. The local base ball team yes- terday played two games of ball at Akeley. The Akeley team was defeated in the morning game with Hazen in the box by a score of 4 to 8. It has been consider- ably strengthened and several of the famous White Earth Indians are now on the team. In the afternoon’s game Bemidji lost 10 Sauk Centre by a score of 4 te 1. Errors in the outfield lost the game. Witt and Emerson were in the box for the locals. Roy was out of the game with an in- jured hand, McCamus was not with the team and Riddell was also missing, so that the result was not unexpected. TO HAVE PARK Blackduck Enthuses Over Base Ball and Will Have a Ball Park. Blackduck people have been warming up on the base ball pro- position for some weeks past and the citizens are now considering the proposition of clearing and maintaining a ball park near the village, Next year the village entertains the Northern Minne- sota Iiremen at their annual tournament and it is proposed to have some good ball games as a part of the amusement program. The park will probably be cleared this summer and considerable interest is being taken in the matter, The married men’s base ball team has taken all comers into camp so far and will play the Tenstrike team on the latter grounds tomorrow. Casler Wins Contest. The decision of Commissioner Richards, of the general land office in the famous Nicholson land contest case was received in the city today and is in favor of Casler. The case has been hard fought and has attracted much attention. It has been be- fore the land department for the past three years. The land con: tested is in the village of Black- duck and the original entry was made by Alice Nicholson, better known as “Corrine.” Casler contested the claim on the grounds that it was not used for a homestead and that the woman made it her home for immoral purposes. The contest was sus- tained in the Cass Lake land office and was taken to the general land office by the Nicholson woman. Sioux Indians Coming. The famous Sioux Indian base- ball team will be in this city next Sunday for two games with the local club. The Indians are fast and were defeated at Fargo by the Fargo team last Sunday in one of the best games seen in that city -this season. The In- dians travel in a special car and will play “an afternoon and an evening game in Bemidji. The evening game is something of a novelty and is played by electric licht. The team carries its own lighting apparatus. Too Good To Keep. A well known Bemidji gentle- man is telling a story on two small boys today thatis true to life and altogether too good to keep. Last Sunday on his way to the ball park just before ths game he overtook two small boys bent on the same errand but evidently financially em- ed and unable to pay their ission. The matter of get- ting in without paying was yery discussed by the two, and wound up with the remark from one of the boys. “Well, if we can’t make her we’ll go back to Sun- day school.” Died at Fergus Falls. Judge McGarry, of Walker, who is well known m Bemidji °|and had many friends here, died Sunday morning at Fergus Falls.

Hilliard returned this morning from a trip to the Hilliard claim northeast of Be- midji. The trip was a hard one with very little pleasure and Mr. Hilliard did not remain as long as he espected to. The claim is situated upon the Turtle River and the recent opening of the two dams above that point has flooded the entire country.
