over st. Cloud and other strong teams
OF this part of the state.
The locals know that they have a
hard bunch to handle, and have been
perfecting themselves in signal work,
base running and general team. work.
They also realize that they will have
to have their batting eye along with
them it they expect to WIN this game,
and the practice shows them max
ing good headway.
Benn and Pehle will do the battery
stunt and will give the visitors mo

POSITIONS in the lnfield, composing a
fast one. Kiugen, Berg and Kidder

baseball lovers should be on hand to
take 1t in. Some good healthy roofing
will help things along wonderfully.

will prevent the premature slaughter
OF the game birds. SO that this fall g

Those of the local hunters who
have Tot good hunting dogs this year
tor one reason or another, are getting
busy skirmlshing around for the
inevitable dog.

anime ice houses, hotels, restaurants
and any other place where meats of
any kind are kept in storage, in
accordance with the state game and
fish laws, that he may see whether
there has been any violation of the
state laws. A provision in the law
makes it misdemeamor for anyone
to prevent the game warden from
making such investigation, punishable
by fine of from $50 to 500 OF
imprisonment from thirty to ninety
