SQUIRREL FOOD ‘OTTO AUTO WOULD STOP: 1F A TRAFFIC CoP HAD THE SIGNAL TURNED “fo ‘STOP’ ~ * L TAYLOR 4H’ STOP HIGH SIGN - Now FoR MY “TRUSTY CITY LEAGUE 10 BE ORGANIZED BY BASEBALL PANS Six Teams Expected to Be Or- ganized Among the Young Men of Bismarck “He's out!” safe!” “Kill the umpire!” “Atta boy, slide you ivory headed busher!” These, and many more like them will be heard around Bismarck after the tired ‘business men and tired housewives and the tired stenogra- phers and clerks ’n everybody have wiped the last dish after supper and) hung the towel by the window to dry. For it is being persistently talked around our thoroughfares and behind desks and in restaurants that Bis- marck is going to have a city base- ball league with about six teams. Oh, boy, ain't it a grand and glo- rious feeling to think that we will soon be having three games every week. Just think, if it isn’t too darn hot to think, when there are two out in the ninth inning and three men are on bases and the Internatioals are ahead with a four run margin and Bismarck’s Ty Cobb is up at the ‘bat with three balls and two strikes and everybody is holding his own sweet breath wondering whether it is going to be a strike-out or a homer. And he swings And he hits the ball And it turns out to a dinky little foul fly. Oh why, oh why, was baseball ever invented? The present idea is to get a team of the men employed at the capitol, one from the International Harves- ter, one each from the Soo and the N. P. one from the Tribune, one representing the ibankers (for we must have the capitalists), and per- haps one representing the automobile agencies in Bismarck and, if possible, one composed of soda jerkers, (all the girls will be rooting strong for them). It would be possile to play three games a week, which, with a six team league, would enable every team in the league to play once a week. ‘All those who are interested in having a team represented in the league should communicate imme- diately with the sporting editor of the Tribune so that a meeting can be held this week to draw up the teams and prepare a schedule. PRIZE FIGHTER IS LOOKING FOR FARM WORK AT BISMARCK “Slugging, Slamming Irish Wild- cat,” Mike O’Leary of Lima and Way Stations Writes All prize fighters, expert ,pugilists, knockout artists and ordinary plug uglies want to watch out for Mike O'Leary, “that slugging, slamming Irish wildcat,” of Lima, O., who in- tends making Bismarck his home. Mike has lots of things in favor. First of all he saw service with the Canadian expeditionary forces in the late squabble with Billie the Big. And secondly, Mike is looking for work. It seems that back in Lima, O., or Peru, or wherever it is that they keep the town that made the bean famous, Mike was matched with some mean mit slinger who packed a horseshoe in his right glove and during the bout, in a spirit of play- fulness, Mike ran his nose plumb into that horseshoe mit. The result BY FRED TURBYVILLE, N, E. AR. Sports Writer. “They all learn sooner or later that the aone big asset of the pitcher is control.” The speaker was one of the best known umpires in the American league. He has stood behind the catcher for several years and he has closely observed the work of every hurler in the league, He is not an ivory-top but a real student of base- ball. It is not customary for him to discuss the merits or demerits of play- er or club, and when he does talk he is worth listening to. He continued: “There's Eddie Cicotte of the White Sox. What's he got? Brains and con- trol. But brains and control are one and the same to my way of thinking. The brainy pitcher invariably is found to be a master of control. Matty and Walt Johnson, for in- stance. “Cicotte is going like a house afire. He’s using lots of camouflage, his is that Senor O’Leary, late of the Canadian expeditionary forces and latter still of Ohio’s original beau town, is looking for a nice spot to re- cuperate from the operation on his nose, ‘So, hearing of Bismarck’s fame and wishing to see if there were as many I. W. W.’s. here as are generally re- ported, Mike put over a vicious left jab on his tottering Underwood and informed the Tribune that he would head Bismarckward if there was any chance of a job. Tonight we are writing “that slugging, slamming Irish wildcat” as ‘he styles himself with due modesty, to come and if it is farm work he wants, he can get all he wants right around Bismarck, even though the federal government seems to think that Fargo is the logical employment center of the state. And if there are any farmers with. in calling or writing distance of the Tribune who would like to have a nice, gentle home broken, nose busted pugilistic-farmer around the place to quiet any fight loving harvest hands, we suggest that he get in touch with “that slugging, slamming, Irish wild- cat” through the Tribune office.

In ordér to find an answer to this question, ‘the department of journal- jism at the South Dakota State col- lege wrote letters to nearly a hun- dred farmers asking them for their experience with advertising.’ Here .is what some of them replied: Hillcrest Farm, Clark, ‘S.

Fruit Co., Wholcsalé Distributors ©. BISMARCK, N. ST.LOUIS THEY MAY START IN ON MYSTERY BALLS BUT IF THEY STICK THEY GET CONTROL over the plate. It means putting it over the very heart of the plate and midway between shoulders and kneer. Jim Vaughn, famous pitcher of the Cubs, is authority for the statement. “It’s like pitching to a knothole,” says Jim, “If you want the umpire to cal lit a strike get it six inches below. the shoulders or six inches above the knee and do-not. cut the corner. The plate is seventeen inches wide ‘but if you want to’make sure the ump will call it a strike you've got to pitch into a narrower groove than that.” The records of the game show that the pitchers with the long and famous careers are the Boys who grooved ‘em. They used their heads and put the ball over the heart of the pan. Of course, they’ve got to vary their de- livery—throw a curve now and then, and cut the corners now and then—- else the batter would always knov where to meet the ball. to let people know what you have to sell. Peopla belive an advertise- ment since they think the editor stands good for its being true. Chas. P. McPherson, Sturgis. I am sure it has paid me to advertise in the local and farm papers. Perhaps a neighbor might want what you haye for sale and the way to let him know is by advertising. Eright Side Farm, Lily. I am high- ly pleased with selling through ad- advertising.
