MORTAL SERVICES
IDEAL WEATHER ATTRACTS "A
VERY LARGE GATHERING
DECORATION DAY
SPLENDID PROGRAM ENJOYED
THE SCHOOL CHILDREN ACQUIT
THEMSELVES WITH CREDIT
REV. DICK PLEASES

Ideal weather conditions brought
out magnificent outpouring of peo-
pie Monday to properly celebrate
Memorial Day in Sank Centre.
The procession, headed by the High
School band, started from in front OF
the Library on Main street promptly
at ten o'clock; next came 80 of the
old Boys in Blue on foot, and then
the w. r. c. in autos. The Sank Cen
tire Fire Department and several hun
dred of the public school children
were next in line and then came the
citizens in carriages, the whole being
under the supervision of Geo. Fish,
marshal of the day.
This was the first public appear
ance of the High School Band, thirty
pieces strong, and their music was a
pleasant surprise to the public and
many favorable comments were heard
upon their efforts, and the labor of
their director, P. Schaub, was putting
forth in their development. If the
boys will keep together they will
make very strong musical organiza-
ton.
The first stop was made at Green
wood cemetery where the fremen and
soldiers decorated the graves of their
departed comrades.
The impressive Memorial Day ser
vices of the G. A. R. were held at
Oakland cemetery, conducted by Com
rades Bryant, Bush and Richardson.
The afternoon program at the
Caughren theatre attracted the larg-
est gathering ever assembled in the
theatre. Not less than 700 people
were crowded and packed, but all in
good spirits.
After a selection by the orchestra,
70 of the public school children from
the first four grades formed a living
flag and sang patriotic songs. This
number was greatly enjoyed. After
song by splendid mixed quartet and
the invocation by P. Schaub, Henry
Sauers delivered Lincoln's Gettysburg
address. This young man possesses a
splendid voice, pleasing presence and
the manner in which he gave this pa
triotic address was as creditable as it
was enjoyable.
Mrs. Sanderson favored the au-
dience with a beautiful vocal selection
after which 100 of the children from
the grammar grades of the public
school put on a little skit entitled
Pageant of Peace" All the parti-
cipants did we'll.
Of course the main attraction of the
afternoon was the address by Rev. S.
w. Dick, of the First Methodist
church, Minneapolis. The gentleman
spoke for about 35 minutes, and his
large audience thoroughly enjoyed
every word and gesture of this splen-
did patriotic address.
The program closed with the sing
ing of America" by the quartet and
audience, the benediction by Rev. R.
W. Duel and another splendid selee-
ton by the orchestra.

HELLO, WHATS THE

SAUK CENTRE AND ALEXAN-
DRIA PLAY VERY PUNK
BALL SUNDAY.
Thirteen ERRORS BY LOCALS
LONG PRAIRIE TRIMS ST. CLOUD
AND TAKES LEAD IN RACE
FOR REMNANT.

Sank Centres representatives in
the Central Minnesota Base Ball
League followed by goodly bunch of
fans boarded special train Sunday
headed for Alexandria, where they
were billed to appear in the second
series of games in the Central Asso-
citation.
No Mabe, Sank did not win; not by
large majority.
And Alexandria was looked upon as
being one of the weak sisters of the
League.
Bradley of the locals must be con-
sidered the star of Sundays game
that is as far as the Grays were con-
cerned-because he did not make an
error. Every other performer made
at least one, number of them made
two-13 in all; some record, Ell?
Jacobson, who had held St. Cloud
to six swats in the opening game, was
on the hill top at Alex, and that was
about all. When they were not hit
ting them where they amt" they
were lamming them at the fielders,
which amounted to the same thing.
The only bright spot in the game
was when Catcher Behling caught
Pitcher Campbell asleep at the switch
and chit 'er a mile" The bases were
over-crowded at this juncture, and
there was joy for moment. The final
score was Is to nine, and Alex had
the Is.
Long Prairie took the somewhat
chesty Pretzels of St. Cloud down the
line Sunday by score of to 2. And
this happened on the St. Cloud lot,
too.
Melrose has greatly strengthened
their club by the signing of Dretchko
and Kinkel as battery workers and
defeated Osakis by the score of 8 to
A. So you see Long Prairie has won
two, St. Cloud, Melrose, Osakis, and
Alexandria one each. Sank Centre
hasn't won yet, but hopes to later.
The Grays played an exhibition
game at Alexandria, Monday
afternoon; jacobson did real pitching
in this contest. At the beginning of
the eighth the score stood l to 0 in
favor. of Alex. A couple of errors and
a hit or two in this frame and Alex
andria pushed four more runs across.
Sank Centre held her own-score to
O.
Last week was a bum week for
practice, but of course the rest of the
teams in the league had the same
brand of weather as dished up in
Sank Centre. The locals journey to
Osakis next Sunday and will oppose
the "Fish."
Manager Dubeau is a patient gen.
tlemen. Unless signs of real ball play
ing develops shortly there will be
changes.
