Nifnecker About
Through at St. Paul
St. Paul, Minn.. April 12.—Bobby
Ntfnecker of the Grand Forks club
lut season is About through with the
St. Paul Association club.
Nifnecker has bean coins: pretty
bad this spring, and doesn't seem able
to hit his stride.
In Friday's practice same against
Topeka, Nifnecker was charred with
two errors, and reports Indicate he
would have been charred with two
more except for the speed work of
Dressen's fast work—Dressen, at first,
taking: some mighty bad throws.
The Saints are not yet certain as to
the disposition of Larson, another

for the season's work.
Millers Send Five
Flingers to Northern
Minneapolis, April 12.—George Du
mont, Rufus Fait, -Elmer Walstrom
and the Brown brothers of the Minne
apolis A. A. team will be turned over
.to the Northern league, and Roy Pat
terson. manager of the Winnipeg Ma
roons, has first call on their services.
Dumont, last year's pitching star of
the Fargo-Moorhead club, who has
failed to make the A. A. grade at this
season of the year,'^till* will be re
tained by Cantillons, under option.
There is likely to be some right
hard feeling between the Fargo-Moor
head fans and Cantillon if Dumont Is
permitted to go to Winnipeg, as Ung
laub has heretofore supposed to have
had first call on Minneapolis material.
Fait was in the Northern last year,
with Fargo, and says he is anxious to
again join that club'
All five are flingers, and Fait. Wal
strom and Dumont, seem to have no
small amount of stuff—but they are
hardly ripe for the Association.

of the league, todaPsMa he did

According to Bnnnetster's view

any claim on any franchise.
Webb was given the Peggers

The colonel and Seliuler have about
agreed on terms and it is almost a
certainty that the signed contract of
the little infieldei* will be coming
along in a few days.
Woods of Bottineau, one of the
pitchers signed, has sent word to
Unglaub that he has a catcher and
outfielder whom he discovered and be

Benton Again Signs
With Superior Reds
Superior, Wis., April 12.—Fred Cur
tis will have plenty of pitchers from
which to select a staff when the can
didates report April 20. Fred an
nounced that he had signed several
additional twirling prospects who will
be given tryoute.
Among them
Nare
Merton, a big
right-hander from Minneapolis* who
has somt reputation as a semi-pro
twirler. Williams, another righthand
er who is with Des Moines In the
Western league, and Smith, a left
hander now with Sioux City in the
Western.
Benton, last year with Superior, and
one of the best pitchers in the North
ern league, has also accepted terms
and is sure ^to be a fixture with the
Red. Legc this summer. Pecky
Rhoades has gone to Flint. Mich.,
where he expects to play with Eddie
Wheeler's team.
Steece says he has not given
Rhoades his release and wijl probably
prevent him from playing at Flint un
less a trade is arranged. Dutch
Perach, another holdout, probably will
be given his release.
Curtis haa sighed an outfielder by
the name of Bassey. Who played with
Missoula in the Union association
1112 and ltlt and who comes to Su
perior with an excellent record. He
hit over .800 in the west. Last year
h* played in the Three Eye feayue but
injured his arm and had to quit for
the rest of the season. In 1912 Bas
sey stole bases and totaled some
thing like J5 assists from the outfield.
Judging from his record Curtis thinks
he has picked up a. star.
Curtis is negotiating with Swalm
and Shirley of last year's Winnipeg
team and hopes to land one. or both
of them.

After Reading Account of
Opening, Sheridan Thinks
They are all Right.
((By Hal Sheridan.)
(Written for The Herald.)
New Tork, April 12.—Well, fans,
what-do you think of 'em, the Feds I
mean? After reading the accounts
in the Sunday pinks yesterday of the
Feds first games and the inaugural
dope, I must say they look pretty
good to me. There can be no dispute
that the Feds are near-big league class
if not really ''arrived." There is also
no question-but what they are capable
Of putting top a much improved game
over last year. Every team, practical
ly, shows a new bunch of stars, pres
ent, potential and a few time-dimmed.
But today the race of the Feds looks
like it would tor even more closcly
cpntested and, on the face of first gate
receipts, will apparently reap finan
cial success larger than 1914.
On first performance forin the Chi
feds and the new Newarks seem to
be the contenders, but its a long road
for the Grand Old Dope to travel be
fore the season ends.
•A rumor was wafted up here from
Washington today that "King" Walter
Johnson may. be the bone (not ivory)
of a legal scrap between the Ameri
cans and Feds as a thrilling byplay of
the American season's opening. An
injunction suit against the P. P.—
(Peerless Pitcher):—is reported to be
up the Feds' sleeve, to spring upon
the opening day. This rumor haa been
constantly revived since Walter flop-

ed back to organized baseball—that
he could fling a ball in the
opening game at the capital, an in
junction writ would be served upon
him to test his ownership because of
his signing a contract to play with
the Kawfeds.
How Johnson will perform this year
is a development anxiously waited by
thousands of fans—and Walter him
self, I imagine. He had an off year
lest year, but finished with a record
that would have -been .good enough to
garner a raise in salary for most pit
chers. Maybe Walter went into the
clouds when he launched upon a mat
rimonial career last year. Here's
hoping he's the same or a better
"srriokeball" this year.

GOTHAN FANS PICK Al
REKMJOT CHAMP
Chicago. April 12.—"Keep your ey«
on this fellow!" This is the tip com
ing out of New York on Al Reich, for
mer amateur heavyweight champion,
now a professional. In Gotham, where
Reich has done moat of his fighting,
he is looked upon as the sure enough
coming title holder, and plans are
already on foot to match him with
Jess Willard. Saturday night when
Willard mdde his New York debut as
a champion Reich's manager was one
of the first of many challengers to
hurl, a defl at Jess. He offered him
a guarantee of $20,000 to step twenty
five rounds with his man.
It seems as though Reich, since
turning ^professional, a little over a
year ago, has taken part in twenty
five battles, and his only loser was
against Carl Morris. Since then he
has won fourteen straight battles via
knockout.
The alibi for the Morris beating is
that Reich was sent ahead too fast,
that he was matched with Morris, a
veteran, in his third professional bat
tle. The Oklahoma man's experience
enabled him to put over a haymaker
In the second round. Since that time
Belch has never, been knocked 6ft his

OF SQUANDERING
Winnipeg Suit Responsible
—Some Internal Strife
The Gi and Forks Baseball club has
not yet niade its deposit of |1,00
with the Northern baseball league.
Directors of the local club, at a
meeting held Saturday afternoon, ds
tided they were entitled to some ia
formation as to what would become
of the cash if it was deposited.
The theory is this—Grand Forks
money is not to be available fer the
defense of the suit instituted by A.
H. Pulford of Winnipeg, involving the
Winnipeg franchise.
Grand Forkers maintain that the
duty of defending that action dees
not lie with the league—but with H.
C. Webb, the benefactor, under the
action of the league In connection with
the Winnipeg situation.

As for the L/eacue Fund.
According to a letter received from
President Burmelster. Grand Forks is
the only team in the league that hasn't
made its deposit with the league.
This deposit of $1,000, is made for
the purpose of maintaining the lea
gue's expenses during the season.
With the Winnipeg suit confronting
the circuit. Grand Forks club men
do not believe it up to the circuit as
a whole to defend the action, and
they only want to be assured that
their money will not be used in that
manner.
The Winnipeg transfer is one that
will benefit only one or two persons—
and it would hardly do. say local men.
to spend the league's cesh for the
benefit of those persons—whoever
they may be.
Doesn't Affect Standing.
The club's action Isn't likely Jo af

to strengthen the club's position, if
