MOnteVideO Wins
in Saturdays Game
Local Boys Lose to Visitors by
Two Points; Will Play Sleepy
Eye Next Saturday

Last Saturday at the local
diamonds the Redwood Falls
high school baseball team was
defeated 3 to l by the high
school aggregation of Montevi-
dec.
The weather again doubtless
kept many away for it was foot
ball not baseball weather. The
few who witnessed the contest
enjoyed seeing the SPLENDID ar
ticle of ball played by both
teams.
All the scoring was done in
the second and third innings,
Redwood Falls scored their lone
tally in the second inning when
a Montevideo outfelder dropped
Geroy's long fly, the hit going
for two bases. A few moments
later he was brought in by
Welsh's ringing 2 base hit down
the third base line. This lead
looked sufficient as both pitchers
were working splendidly, but in
the third frame Montevideo
pushed three men over the plate
then a hit, two hit men and two
walks.
After this the game settled
Gown to an exceedingly even
pitchers battle. The game was
one of the best ever played here
by high school teams. One note
able feature was the few hits
made, the local high school only
gathering one while Montevideo
made four and received three
walks off Corcoran.
Redwood Falls plays Sleepy
Eye here next Saturday Ev-
eryone should boost for the team
to again enter the winning COL
umn after winning from Cotton
wood and losing to Montevideo.

HERoISM AT A DISTANCE

~Oa certain type of papers,
VI of which the Oregonian
is one, everything that
Germany does is ominous,
grave and insulting to the Unit
ed States. We should prepare
instantly for war and get into
it if we can, regardless of
whether anything could be
gained by such a move. All
who do not share such crazy
notions are towards.
Fortunately such embecility
is its own best remedy and does
not carry far. Those ulta-war-
like tendencies are generally
shared by parties who expect
to be far from the maddening
whirl if war should really
come. They are warriors by
proxy and can be brave with
out DANCED. Hence it does no
harm to beat the drum with
vast ferocity. Besides swash-
buckling appeals to many and
may help along that senatorial
boom.

stand it. When running under
sea there is deathlike stiffness
in the boat as the electrical ma
chinery is noiseleSs, AS
the air heats it gets poor and
mixed with the odor of oil from
the machinery. The atmos-
phere becomes fearful. An
overpowering sleepinesS often
attacks new men and one re
quires the utmost Will power to
remain awake. I have had
men who did not want to eat
during the first three days out
because they did not want to
lose that amount of time from
sleep. Day after day spent in
such cramped quarters, where
there is hardly room to stretch
your legs, and constantly on
the alert, is a tremendous
strain on the nerves.
The war aviator has at least
one advantage over the sub
marine sailor. He secures
plenty of air, though he is more
subject to attack, through be-
ing seen, than is the undersea
fighter.

FREEDOM OF SPEECH

to strike somewhere near
the foundation of what he con-
siders tolerable government,
If the report that DR.. Scott
Nearing, assistant professor of
economics in the Wharton
school at the University of
Pennsylvania, has been drop
ped from the payroll because
of his persistent utterances in
favor of academic freedom in
defiance of the university trus-
tees is true, his case is one of
national interest.
Are our universities to teach
only the theory and persuasion
of whoever happens to have
been selected or elected to the
position of regent or trustee?
1t should be remembered, too,
that under our system little eff
fort has been made to put men
of broad learning and sympa-
thies on these boards because it
has never occurred to US that
our teachers were to be taught
by them. We usually have
made honors of the places, in
the overwhelming number of
instances limiting our select
ions to one class of men-those
who have made money, are
profoundly respectable as far
as we know, and who naturally
feel kindly to the system that
has given them such complete
recognition and appreciation.

BELGIUM'S GREATEST IN
SUIT

~ HOMAS B. REED once
VI said that when a certain
man spoke he subtracted
from the sum total Of human
knowledge and his remark
might we'll be applied to the
venerable John Wannamaker
in connection with his proposal
to buy Belgium from the Ger
mans and give it back to the
Belgians when ready for self
government.
Mr.. Philadelphia may not
have intended it as such but he
has nevertheless handed the
suffering Belgians about the
worst insult thus far heaped
upon them. A free and vail
ant people do not want to Sc
cure their freedom through the
efforts Of any associated char
tiles organization, in the Unit
ed States or elsewhere. If for
no other reason the Wannama-
ker proposal is preposterous
because the Belgians would not
like it.
The Belgians want their
country back again and they
will get it. But they don't
want some one to give it to
them on the basis a dog would
get a bone. They will get their
country back by the same
methods it was taken from
them. They will get it by the
sword and there are good rea-
sons for believing that when
the settlement is made they
will get good interest from
those who hold their little
kingdom.

. PYTHIANS MEET.
Four Hundred Lodgemen Attend Port
land Convention.

Approximately 400 Knights of
Pythias of the Grand Lodge of Ore
gon, are assembling in Portland at
the 34th annual convention of the or
der called to session today. At least
two delegates will be sent from each
of the 70 lodges in Oregon, and a
number of members, who are not del
egates, will attend. Among the latter
number will be past chancellors Of the
grand lodge and of subordinate lodges
who are privileged to attend the ses-
sions although they are not delegates.
One of the chief duties of the session
will be the selection of a new grand
keeper of records and seals, which be
came vacant through the death Of MIR.
Stimson. Probably the most impor-
tant question that will come before
the convention for consideration will
be the plans that are under way for
the securing for Portland of the su-
preme convention Of the order next
year. V. F. Compton and Wayne E.
Greenwood are the delegates from the
local lodge, and L. S. Finseth, grand
outer guard will attend the conven-
ton. Because of the death of L. S.
Stinson, the class of knights which
was to take degree involving much
humorous work, will not meet at Port
land.

BoOTHBY'S AUTO TROUBLES.
Ford Interferes With Street Car
Traffic and Demolishes Fences.

A man living down at Monmouth is
willing to bet 20 to l that the mean
est horses never were as balky as
some automobiles.
He is George 7. Boothby, promi-
nent stoc<man, who has been dealing
in horses all his life. He has ridden
on horseback over every trail and by
path between the Cascade mountains
and the coast, and it is said that he
has been able to ride any kind of a
"hoss' from the widest range pony
down to the family mare.
But not long ago Mr.. Boothby for
sock the horse and bought a Ford
automobile, and he has had such q
tough time breaking in the new rig
that he has run out of suitable ad-
jectives.
Even yet, however, the Ford is not
"bridlewise."
The, other day, so friends say, while
Mr.. Boothby was driving in style
down through the streets of Eugene,
his ear "shied' at a charging street
ear and clipped a fractional dividend
off the corporation receipts.
Later, while returning to his home
in Polk, the car skidded on a country
road and landed in a deep ditch quick
er than a flash. But Mr.. Boothby
wasn't to be stumped by that sort of
bucking. Without allowing the thing
to stop, he dug his spurs into the in
ternals of the thing. Sure enough he
got out of the ditch. But in doing
so he had pulled the bride the wrong
way, so to speak. AS a result the
ear carved out few sections Of stub
born fence and landed in a peaceful
field that gave him enough rope to
ramble for the balance of the day
without interference.
Mr.. Boothby has a hard time now
relating the antics of his new vehicle
in the language of the fraternity of
stockmen, but the laughs that his
yaans provoke indicate that he ex-
presses his feelings fairly well.-Ore-
gonian.
