BASE BALL
SUNDAY
Mosinee to Play Memorial Day for
Hospital Benefit.

The weather man has promised to
be good to the baseball fans and for
that reason Marshfeld will play here
Sunday.
Marshfeld has a new twirler in
Bast. Christianson will do the back
stop work for the champs. Jimmy
Devine will be on the rubber for the
locals with Fahrner doing the back
stop work. Bandelin will umpire.
This is not a benefit for the band
and the fans think that with that un-
derstanding the weather man will pro-
vide sunshine instead of rain.
You know how base ball bugs are
everything is laid to jinx and be-
cause the two Sundays that the band
was advertised proved wet, the bugs
think the band was the jinx.
On Memorial Day, the Mosinee team
will play here the proceeds Of the
game are to be given to the Hospita
Building Fund. Here's another chance
to help the Hospital. Be a good citi.
zen.

HOW THE RUSSIAN
FISHER MAIDS BRIGADE
GOT TO THE FRONT
(By United Press Association


Petrograd, May 24.-The spirit that
animates Russian women to fight was
shown among the fisher-folk colony
at Novgorod recently when Pelegeya
Mandrin returned wounded from her
regiment after fighting in seven ac-
tions. She recruited seventy girl war
riors among the fisherfolk and when
General Kuropatkin arrived from his
estate at Pskoff she fell on her knees
before him and implored him to allow
the fisher girls brigade to go to the
front. Kuropatkin refused because
women are mot allowed" in the Rus
sian army. So they cut off their long
hair, dressed as men and scattered
themselves among the troops over the
thousand mile front. These fisher
girl warriors rely on the unwritten
law of Russian regiments for their
protection.
