Local Ball Team Has No Trouble De
featlno spicer Team at That =,
Place Sunday. 49,

After hearing for a long time what
the Spicer team was going to do to
Willmar when the teams met, the To-
Gals journeyed over to the village last
Sunday for the game. Without exert
ing themselves in the least the boys
from home, gave Gehard Ronning
one of the worst wallopings of his
career as pitcher. All this after the
Spicer adherents had told how Ron
ming had the Willmar batters scared.
IT'S true that for four innings they
couldn't hit him, but when they did
start they went at it with venge-
ance and soon had him just where
they wanted him.
On the other hand Buck" Johnson
got off to a poor start, and Spicer got
run in the second inning, when Ron
ming, with two strikes on him, held
his bat out, and Buck hit it with the
ball. 1t was a speedy ball and the
result was that it went over the
fence. From the third inning on,
tho, Buck was great, and the more
men Spicer had on bases each inning,
the greater he was.
Things looked bad for Willmar in
the first inning, after they had been
retired. Joe Downs hit a Texas
Lacquer to left field and Neal McGrew
made the greatest catch ever seen in
Spicer, when he grabbed it with his
gloved hand, while running back with
the ball. Then Wilson, who is slow
ing up, and has been shifted to Sec
ond base this year, walked; Farmer
then caught one on the end of his bat
and drove it to right field for two
bases, Wilson only made third on the
hit, while a fast man could easily
have scored. Chisholm walked, fill
ing the bases, with only one out.
This brought Jack Arthur to bat.
Jack is batting left handedly this
year to see if he can improve any.
He lined right into Deans hands and
"Choppie" stepped on third, doubling
Wilson, and pulling Buck out of a bad
hole.
Ronning's home run came in the
second, which was also featured by
another double play. With one down,
H. Williams was safe on missed
third strike. He started down with
the next pitch, and the batter fouled
out to Nordstrom, who pegged to
Christy at first for the double. Will
mar looked good in the second but a
double play nipped their rally in the
bud. Nordstrom singled to left and
went to second on Bucks bunt, but
he over ran the sack and was thrown
out The fifth brought Willmar
rally tho. With one down Larcum
singled and stole second. Williams
and Christian followed with singles,
the first two scoring.
The big smoke came in the seventh
tho. Buck singled and Larcum fan
ned. Williams was safe on Wilson's
error and Buck stole third. Christy
flew to short left and Bob came thru
with a nice single scoring Buck and
Billy. Then McGrew, Lamb and
Dean hit in quick succession, the for
mer and latter stealing second, and
before the smoke had cleared away,
four runs were across.
Willmar added another in the
eighth on Larcum's walk and steal Of
second and Christy's second single.
That was all tho, but it was enough
and the big crowd went home salts
fed. The score:

The Russian government has deter
mined to use all its power to prevent
Finland from competing in the Olym-
pic games at Berlin az q nation. Cen
eral Steyn, the governor. general, will
soon issue a decree dissolving the
Finnish Olympic committee. This &C.
ton is partly due to the general Rus
sian policy of suppressing national
aspirations, partly to a desire to
have Russia make a better showing
at Berlin than she did at Stockholm
in 1912. All who attended the games
at Stockholm will remember the con.
trast between the splendid delegation
from Finland, and the far inferior
representatives Of the Russian ma
ton. The Firms appeared under their
own flag as separate body, with q
great assemblage of athletes, gym
nasts and swimmers, while the Fin
nish women who took part In the
two last branches Of the sports were,
like the women from the other Scan
dinavian countries. one of the most
attractive features Of the occasion.
Among the eighteen prize winning ma
tons Finland stood fourth with Nifty
two points-only Sweden, the United
States and Great Britain beating her
while Russia ranked fifteenth, with
six points to her credit. Throughout
the meeting there was constant fric-
ton between the Firms and Russians.
The Russians resented the appearance
of the nag Of Finland among the
others as though she were an indie
pendent nation. The trouble culmi-
mated in scene in the royal box at
the stadium during an evening con-
cert of singing societies. when the
Finnish choirs sang one of their ma
tional hymns which contained refer
ence to Russia as the "oppressor." :

tlOn WITH copper cables from dYe-
sixteenths inch In diameter, for small
farm buildings, to one-half inch In
diameter for large important struc-
lures form one Of the best possible
systems OF conductors for lightning
rods construction. III. s* .:s.s-.. b. I'm
There Is no good reason for pur-
chasing other fanciful forms of cable
at materially greater prices per pound
than are asked for standard makes Of
cable Of approximately the same
cross section. -. II
(O Must lightning rods be connect
ed to the earth? Answer: Yes; by
all means, and most effectively. Just
a few operators in the lightning rod
profession have sought to impose up
on the uniformed a system of I'M
grounded lightning rods. Such rods
are menace instead of protection.
1t is impracticable to fully discuss
here methods of making connections
to earth. In general terms the con-
ductor should be carried down into
the earth and away from the building
in a trench or other excavation, so
as to reach and imbed the conductor
itself or plates attached thereto into
permanently moist earth. Connec-
lions with water pipes or other metal
work itself connected to earth con-
stitute good grounds.
60 Are government buildings pro-
vided with lightning rods? Answer:
Yes; many of them, but naturally not
every one.
90 Does the Government use the
material or the rods or the system
of any particular agency? Answer:
No; there is nothing mysterious or
exceptional about lightning rods, the
material of which they are composed,
or their construction and instal!a-
ton. Suspicion may we'll be aroused
as to the reliability of those making
extravagant claims of superiority for
their particular wares to the exclus-
ion of others.
Q0) What is the best arrangement
of rods on building? Answer: A
building completely screened and sur
rounded by and inclosed beneath a
cage or network Of substantial metal
lie conductors, all properly intercon-
nected and Joined to the earth, would
be most effectively protected from
lightning discharges. For ordinary
purposes a far simpler system is ade-
quate. For example, good protection
is afforded by conductor, running
along the ridge of building and ex-
tending to the earth, either at the
middle of the sides or, preferably, at
each of the four corners. Points
should rise above any prominent fea-
ures of the building, such as Chin
neys or, in the absence of these feat
ures, from the ridge of the roof at
intervals of Is feet or thereabouts

The 1914 session had less disap-

The failure Of the Indians to perform
in the afternoon owing to the non
arrival of baggage, and the quality Of
the entertainments put on by the
Shorter Players were the two great
est disappointments. But on the
whole the talent was good and gave
satisfaction. Mr.. Maus, of Cherokee

(2) Do lightning rods on a building

Washington, March 26.-Secretary

Grizzly Bear Escapes.

Atlanta, March 25.--Lip. the giant
grizzly bear at the Grant Park zoo,
is being served up in tempting steaks
today on the tables of Zoo Keeper
Boyd, Park Commissioner Dan Carey
and othor city officials.
Lips demise was sudden and spec
tacular. He escaped from his cage
last night and gave chase to an un-
fortunate negro man. lie got the
negro by the leg but the darkey man
aged &c escape. minus his trousers aid
a chunk of dark meat and at midnight
a squad OF policemen armed with
Wfnchesters killed the bear.
Lip SIHas the most valuable animal
in the park but was also the most dam
gerous. When a lion or tiger es-
capes, there is always a reasonable
chance Of taking it alive, without un-
reasonable danger to life or limb but
when grizzly gets loose, it means a
fight to the death with whoever cross
ses his path.
So there was nothing to do but pump
the big raging creature full OF lead and
skin him afterward and then cut him
into steaks.
