AUTO SPEEDWAY
NOT YET PERFECT
indianapolis Course, FineStin
World. Will Help Lower
Records
BY United Press Leased Special Wire.

BY United Press Leased Special Wire
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Aug H.
Scores of automobile racers here for the
opening of the indianapolis motor speed
way bear conflicting testimony as to the
merits Of construction of tho track. The
owners OF the speedway themselves ad-
init that although half million dollars
will not cover the expense already put
into the enterprise. the track surface is
not yet perfect. But. they say, it is in
it's present condition, the greatest racing
course in the world and In two days
more time will be perfect.
Drivers Of the racing cars say the
track IS not smooth, as IL ought to be,
but they all declare that records will
be broken The outer course which Is
2iA miles long was convicted last week
and the inner course, which, when
thrown open is combined with the outer
course by a dangerous hair pin turn
from the outer track. making a i've
mile circuit complete without re-trav-
ersing any part of either track.
Viewing the entire enclosure from any
one of the numerous amphitheatres and
grand stands, IL is noted that several or
dinary mile tracks easily could be made
side by side within the outer racing
course.
The entire length Of the track is prac-
ticaiiv solid rock The outside course
is banked q feet al the turns and various
points il is spanned by bridges for
the use of spectators. None viii be per-
mitted on the track The speedway
grounds arc enclosed by high board
fence hvc miles I'm length. There arc
club houses. garages, Office buildings
Judges stands. press stands and Other
buildings al of the most modern style
of architecture.

High Shoot Game.


Last Saturday afternoon the local
high school ball team again defeated
the Cambridge high school team by a
score of S to 10. The day was an
ideal one for baseball and good
crowd of spectators was there to see
the contest. Although neither team
showed any signs of playing pro-
fessional ball, yet it was a contest
we'll worth seeing.
Cambridge came to bat first and
incidentally ran in two scores, but
Princeton was equal to the occasion
and evened matters up in it's half OF
the first and, in addition, got one
score to the good, making the score 2
to 3 at the end of the first inning.
Princeton then frightened up and no
scores we're made for Cambridge until
the fifth, when another score was
chalked down, tying the score.
Princeton again scored 3 times, max.
ing the score to at the end of the
fifth. From then on it was Prince
toms game in walk.
Both pitchers worked we'll but
lacked support at critical times. This
game will end the season for the high
school team. The score by innings:
| Cambridge. ......... 9 o. % O-5
Princeton. 3 0 3 O O 2-1O

A FORCER AT WORK
Two Checks Bearing Forged sigma
ture of p. L. Roadstrom Reach
Banks in Princeton.
Strong Suspicion Rests Upon Individ-
ual Who Left Princeton Clan.
destlnely Not Long Ago.

Two checks bearing the forged
signature of P. L. Roadstrom were
received here on Saturday-one at
the Princeton State bank and the
other at the Security State bank.
Each check called for the sum of
fourteen dollars and the names of the
payees we're fictitious. The check re-
ceived by the Princeton State bank
was cashed at bank in Winnipeg
and the one received by the Security
State bank was honored at Crooks
ton banking institution. The banks
here returned the checks to the insti-
tutions which cashed them with the
notation thereon that they were for
geries.
1t is clearly apparent that both
checks were forged by the same indi-
vidual, as the signatures we're identi-
cal, and strong suspicion rests upon
a fellow who surreptitiously left
Princeton between two days not long
ago. However this may be, it is evil
dent that the forger is acquainted
in Princeton, and the superstition is
that he obtained the blank checks in
this village. If the Canadian authori-
ties capture him he will doubtless get
heavier sentence than if caught in
Minnesota, and the best thing he can
do is to return and give himself up,
as the chances for his escape are slim.

Hass' nine went to Milaca on Sun
day and played the first nine of that

were dumped in the ditch. The score
was to l.
Nearly every man on the Princeton
team played out of his position,
which in a great measure accounts for
the score rolled up by Milaca. The
Mllacas experienced exceptionally
good luck, for every time Princeton
man hit a ball it went direct into some
ones hands. Walker pitched for the
locals and was touched up for II
hits, while said locals were unable to
connect for more than four hits from
Wilkes benders. Jess Angstman, the
Princeton catcher, played his usual
fine game and forced in the only score
the locals made with clean single.
Jess is a promising young catcher.
More than thirty fans accompanied
the Princetons to Milaca but. no vo-
ciferous roofing was noticed on their
part. The score by innings:

| Olson Detests Hypocrisy.
It is disgusting to listen to moral
lepers inveighing against Sunday
afternoon ball playing as "desecra-
ton of the Sabbath There may be
reasons for conscientious and scrupu-
lous persons doing so; but when de-
generates, who themselves are ever
ready to desecrate any day in the
week, palaver about this or that day
being "desecrated" by a game of
baseball, words fail to convey
proper measure of contempt for such
strainers of gnats and swallowers of
camels. Going about themselves with
beams in their eyes that make them
morally, if not mentally blind, they
make attempts at picking out the mote
from somebody else's eye in the
hope that they may not be recognized
for the whited sepulchers that they
are. Such ranting hypocrites ought
to be invited to get off the earth

VIII Rue the Day They Left.
AS soon as the farmers who have
left southern Minnesota, Iowa, Illi-
nois and Indiana farms for others in
the Canadian west, shall have robbed
the virgin soil of that new region as
they have robbed that of their old
homes, by continual cropping with
wheat, they will be looking for other
lands to conquer. But, like Alex
ander, they will find that they are, so
far as new wheat lands are concerned,
at the end of the earth. Possibly, in
formed of this fact, they will turn to
rotation of crops and to animal hus-
bandry. Diversified farming can,
however, be carried on to decidedly
greater advantage in the states they
have left, on account both of q longer
season and of the greater accessibility
of markets. The men who stay by
the old homes, discard the wasteful
methods of the past, rotate, manure
and irrigate, and SO make 40-acre
tracts produce more than did 100 acres
under the old system, will in a few
years hence be a long way ahead Of
their emigrant cousins. Pioneer

BOOST FOR R. F. flint

The Dairy Record, a weekly paper

boost for R. F. Flint, the newly ap-
pointed dairy commissioner of North
Dakota: -
North Dakota is also moving for
ward in the matter of dairy officials,
E. H. Pierce, a we'll known creamery
man having been appointed assistant
dairy commissioner and R. F. Flint
poisoning out into a full-fledged
dairy commissioner. How state
with as few creameries as North Da-
kota ever got and kept the man
Flint at the head Of the dairy. In
dustry has always been mystery to
us--it must be that they really mean
business out there and put qualiti-
cations ahead of politics in their APP
pointments. The recent appoint
ment of Mr.. Pierce would prove that
this must be the case.' "
