REAL ACTION THIS WEEK (Continued from nrst page). made its appearance. Tax reform, in-| cluding income tax, and tonnage tax laws, is another matter which will have to be threshed out. In addition to these the tuberculosis situation has developed several bilis and woman suffrage will occupy the at- tention of both legislators and pub- lic for weeks before final action is taken. Non-partisan . elections, a agricultural department and an in- vestigation ot all state departments are matters affecting the entire state which must be considered during the three months of the session. During the coming week it is ex- pected that the lower house and Gov- ernor Eberhart’s supporters will have a heated discussion on some of the points in the governor's inaugural to which the house has given little at- tention. The joint committee to in- vestigate the various depattments suggested by the governor has not been created so far as the hovee is concerned, although the senate has already acted in the matter. The house is divided and it is believed that the first open break will develop when it is called up early the coming week. The various standing committees will begin actual work Tuesday and final action on several of the minor bills will be taken during the week. W. J. LAW BUYS OUT BERG. Spooner, Jan. 20.—The Security State bank, started and conducted by Albert Berg the past six years, has formally changed ownership, the transfer of the business occuring last Saturday.- In the retirement of Mr. Berg, W. J. Law becomes the bank’s new pres- ident, Mr. Law having purchased Mr. Berg’s stock. The other stockholders remain the same as under the former management and W. F. Steffes, cash- ler of the bank the past three or four years, continues in his office, while J. M. Peterson will continue as assist- ant cashier. The policy of the bank will remain the same as inaugurated by Mr. Berg and a general banking business will be conducted. Mr. Law, although living in Minneapolis, is not a stranger to the city and tne north country, as the past seven years he has been a periodical visitor here in the interests of the Shevlin-Math- jeu Lumber company with which en- terprise he has been connected for years as general auditor. WIRELESS HITS ANN ARBOR. Grand Forks, Jan. 20—After years’ experiments with the wireless station at the university, Dr. A. H. Taylor, professor of physics at the university, Saturday evening got into communi- cation with the University of Michi- gan with his apparatus. He could distinctly hear everything from Mich- igan and could hear faintly several other stations much farther away. While Mr. Taylor has talked to many other stations throughout Norh' Dakota, he has never been able to secure a clear communication with the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor until Saturday evening. The distance is about 750 miles. HR KKK KK KKK K KKK KX x HORNET. * KKK KKK KKK KKK KK Mrs. Jake Miller, J. S:. Tope and John Winans, are able to be around again, after their recent illnesses. J. E.

When you call him competent his chest begins to bulge. When you call him a heart- breaker he slaps you on the shoulder and gives you to understand that he considers you a person of remarkable perception and unerring judgment.

Farrell's New York American league club with Frank Chance in command js the “dark horse” of the 1913 season. While the other man- agers welcome -him they aze willing to admit they have another versatile | leader to compete with and believe it will be anything but a simple task. All have watched Chance's career as manager of the Cubs and wished he was one of them. Now that he is in their midst all are “sitting up and starting to make preparations for the hardest struggle Ban Johnson's or- ganization has ever known. This {8 what Johnson has been striv- Ing for since he has been at the head of the American league. It has been his plan for years to have all clubs as nearly equal as possible. Through his untiring efforts he has engineered deals by which most of the teams of his association have developed into pennant contenders. If he had his way every team would be in the first division fighting for the pennant. That is why he worked so hard to get Chance for the Yankees. ¥ Johnson wanted Chance for several reasons. First, he knew it would add to the prestige of the American league; second, he did not want base- ball to lose Chance; third, he desires to have a coterie of greater managers than the National league, and fourth, he wants to make Jake Stahl, Connie Mack, Hugh Jennings, Jimmy Calla- han, Clark Grifith and the others realize they will have to struggle with New York to win the flag. In addition he is eager to place a man in New York who is competent to compete UNLUCKY YEAR FOR CHAMPS Many Lose Titles or Have Decisions Rendered Against Them—Ad Wolgast Among Them. The year just closed has surely been an unlucky one for champions, as many of them have had the misfor tune to either lose their titles or have decisions rendered against them. Those who have lost their titles are Ad Wolgast, the lightweight champion of America; Abe Attell, the feather. weight champion of America; Georges Carpentier, the French middleweight champion; Matt Wells, the Buglish lightweight champion; Jim Sullivan the Hnglish middleweight champion, +Ad Wolgast. and Johnny Evendon, the English welk terwelght. champion. The champions who have been de- feated, but still hold the title of their respective countries are Bombardier | ‘Wells, the English light heavyweight champion; Jack Harrison, the English | the game of baseball was Eilis Drake, middleweight champion; Dave Smith, :the Austrian middleweight-champion, | home and Digger Stanley, the Engllsh ha‘n- tam weight champion. Carpentier has relinquished his clallll ) to the {itle, as he cannot mke un Wweight any more.” AWARD RACE TO DEA| HORSE- National Board Doelaru The £ tor in. Frce-hr-A]I Pace at A decision rendered by the review of the National Trotting asso- f clation makes The: Eel(8: W%)' dead, the winner of the treefo pace at the Hartford grand ¢ | mesting, Neptember 4. It Frank Chnnco, Newly Signed Manager of Highlanders. with John McGraw of the Giants. Here is what the Amerlcan league managers think of Chance’s acquisi- tion: Clark Grifith, Washington: “Now I know I will have to fight harder to win the pennant. 1 fought him for three years with Clncinnati and know what he is capable. of.” Jimmy Callahan, White Sox: “I am sure all of us have a tussle on our hands now. With that pitching staft he will make the race a keen one.” Connie Mack, Philadelphia: “This is the season in which the Highland- ers begin to be prominent factors in our struggle..-Chance, I am sure, will keep us all on the nervous seat.” Jake Stahl, Boston: ‘“‘Chance’s com- ing only adds another hard team for us to trim. It certainly will make our race a dandy.” Hugh Jennings, Detroit: “I know Chance and know what he can do. 1 matched baseball brains with him in 1907 and 1908 and lost each time. I am confldent his coming will force us all to be on the alert.” Joe Birmingham, Cleveland: 5 ¢ never met Chance on the field, but from what 1 have heard of him I know what to expect. You can bet I will keep my eye on him all the time, too.” George Stovall, St. Louis: “Chance’s conling means more work for-me, for I just nosed out the Highlanders for seventlt place. From what I have heard of Chance's ability I can see where the Browns flave to step some, but we will be ‘there to"try just the same.” | instance on’ record of a dead horse winning a race. The race in which the winner re mained in question until this decision, was contested by seven horses, as fol- lows: Sir R. (Murphy); The Hel (Mo Hwen), Don Densmore (Parker), Bran- ham Baughman (Cox), Hal B, Jr, (Ray), Independence Boy (Rodney) and Vernon McKinney (James). The Eel won the opening heat in 2:07%, and Sir-R., according to the evidence produced at the recent trial, was dis tanced. At the time of the race the Judges in the stand gave Murphy's horse as finishing seventh. Sir R. came out and won the second and third heats, thus terminating. the race. In each instance The Eel was second. F. W. Entricken, owner ' of the gray horse, protested the payment of the purse to Sir R., and carfried the case to the board of appeals. The ruling body sustained Mr. Entricken and or- dered Thomas W. Murphy, driver of Bir R, to return’the purse to the Hart- ford association, and they in turn were ordered to pay first money to Hn Entricken. The Eel died three 'eekl later, during the Columbus meeting, and Mr. Entricken will 'be made $5600 richer by ‘the decision, as first money was $1,000, white on the basis on which he was paid at the time of the race he recelved but $500. The c is the first of its kind on record. B Jackson Asks to Be Trade Outflelder George ‘‘General” Jack son of the Braves may be traded to some- other JSlub next season, as he does not think the Boston climate agrees with him. " Jackson has written to. Manager Stallings that he would like to be traded it possible, and pre- fers St. Louis. He always played in a warm climate before coming to Boston; and thinks he would show to much better advantage if he got away from the Hub. | . Plonger of Baseball Dead.

It was Austin, by the way, who laid out Pitcher C. Brown last sum- mer on a quick throw to first. The ball hit Brown on the back of the head and things looked serious for awhile Pitcher Gene Krapp, Oatcher Jack Adams and Outflelder Art Hauger will not wear Cleveland uniforms next year. Krapp has been released to Portland, while Adams and Hauger have been turned over to Topsy Hart: #al at Toledo. Davls Back With Mack. Harry Davis, former first baseman of the Athletics-and for years adviser of Manager Mack, is to return to the Philadelphia _ club ‘" as trainer and scout. Davis was let go last year to. manage the.Cleveland club, a job from which he resigned ' before the “| veason closed. - Why Red Managers Falled. Hanlon, Gangel, Grifith and O’Day failed to fill the hole at short, and that’s one reason why they failed as. managers of the Reds. Now watch Cbnnce grab a big chunk of McGraw’s popularity in Gotham. Gotch may have.to suppress Zbyszko periodically for the sake of the peace. Chance was: a splendid delayed Christmas gift for New York baseball fans. And now the Washington Senators are picked to finish no higher than second. Luther - McCarty would fight Bom- bardier Wells. He is going right out after the “little big” fellows. Hugh Jennings, after a time in vaudeville, has come to the conclusion that all baseball players are fizzles on the stage. S “Chick” Lathers, who had a - trial with the Detrolt Tigers, has been shipped to lndhlupolh by the Provi- dence team. Frank Donnelly, who served as an -umpire last season, has signed to man- age the Springfield club of the.Three- Eye league. Jim Flynn ng sooner gets, his black: ened eye so it looks as if it would heal than he 1a matched with Cyglone Johnny Thompson. These golf bugs who cannot find the regular game enough for them- but must needs add.innovations have our sincere sympathy. Joe Rivers’ punching powers have amazed New Yorkers, which reminds one of the time Aurelia Herrera land- d on Benny Yanger. The management of the Boston American league club has refused to raise -the salaries of its players and says the players should be satisfied with the world’s series coln. It is claimed for Wrestler Lurich that . he speaks - twelve - langnages fluently. . He might challenge Zbyszko in emch tongue, to be sure the big Pole understands him. “There will be no room . for any ‘fade-aways’ on my team,” avers George Stovall. He has plenty of ‘young material on his roster. —_— e Red Lake Indisn Reservation.
