Boston, Chicago and Detroit. the
three American league clubs selected
before the season opened to set the
pace, are travelling along in the ruck
with the dcspised Cleveland team lead
ing. And that team is leading because
1t is playing better all-round ball than
some others. Wamsganss, the short
stop, is a sensation, and while Granev 5
batting average is not so large as
Speaker :, he is hitting when hits
count in the run column.
1t has been a long time since we
have seen q larger collection of green
ball players on one nine than Brattle-
boro high school boasts this season.
1t IS discouraging proposition to
pitch good ball and lose b. a big score.
Looking back p years we can remem-
Der of pitching a game in which we al
lowed three doubles and a triple. all
by. the same player, issued three passes
only and got beaten II to 0. That
team was slightly greener than the
present Brattleboro high outfit.

Coach Mulry of the high school
baseball team is discouraged, not s.
much by the poor showing of the team
as at the fact that the candidates for
the team consider themselves so high
class in the pastime that they do not
require regular practise. Coach Stolte
of the track team feels the same about
his squad. Those who are veterans Of
known speed and skill do not practise
regularly and the rest of the squad
are untried. IT Is most decidedly an
off year in high school athletics, due
entirely to lack of interest on the part
of those who should be the most inter
ested.

 Meet Father, Arrive
 On Day of His Death

With the arrangements for the fu- neral of Robert Austin, who died at the Bridgeport hospital, Sunday, of an abscess of the brain, comes to light the story of the journey of wife and five children from Scotland to this country only to land in New York on the night that the husband and father died,
 Six years ago, Austin left his native home in Scotland to come to the land of opportunity and provide for the day when he could bring his wife and children to join him. He came to this city and was employed as a slater, but on July 6, he slipped from the roof of house on Stratford ave- nue.
 As a result of the fall he suffered concussion of the brain and in a few days an abscess developed. The family was brought to this country and a reunion was expected, but Aus tin failed to rally from an operation On the day that he died, they landed in New York
 Austin was also well known as a soccer player and had made a name for himself in soccer circles through out the state.

New York, Aug. 2-Three media tors appointed by the United States department of labor will confer here today with manufacturers of women's garments and with leaders of the un- ion of their employees in an attempt to end thes trike of 45,000 makers of. women's clothes which has been in progress for IA weeks. If the media tors fail to bring about an agree ment, it is understood they will start an investigation of the women's gar- ment industry.
 . The strike situation was complicat- ed today by the action of 15O manu- lecturers of mems clothes who lock- ed out yesterday 15,000 workers and who planned to close more shops to- day, increasing the number of idle garment workers to 30,O00. There are reports that the union of workers on mems garments will call a general strike of 60,00O men.
 Fully $100,000,O0O in orders for women's clothes and $15O,000,00O for mems are waiting to be filled when the shops reopen.

MUST REBUILD BRIDGE.

Repairs to Yellow Mill bridge have begun, the work being done by Toole & Sunderlin. The openings for the passageway of vessels must be widen ed and made to conform to specifica- tions sent out by war department en- gineers. The work will cost $S,000.

Of the Hardest to Be

Bemidji Girls to Meet Pine River
Quint Tonight at the
Armory.
BESTUL SAYS BOYS
EXPECT TO WIN

Can the Bemidji high school bas-
ket ball team defeat the Brainerd
high school quint at Brainerd to-
night?
The answer to this question would
probably tell who would be the cham
pions of the Sixth congressional dis
trict and who would be the contender
for the state title at the Carleton
tournament.
1--WE realize that we are going to
have a stiff game" said Coach julius
Bestul of the Bemidji Quint, at the
depot this morning when his team
left for Brainerd. "The boys are
prepared for hard battle and we are
going to Brainerd expecting to win."
The following made the trip to
Brainerd today, Tanner and Johnson,
forwards, Cameron, center, Bailey
and Graham guards, and Plummer,
substitute. A number of local sup
porters accompanied the team.
Coach Bestul announced before his
departure this morning that a game
had been secured with the St. Cloud
high school quint, to be played here
next Saturday at the Armory. The
down-state team has been playing
fast game, but it is believed that if
the local boys can defeat Brainerd
tonight that they can put away the
St. Cloud quint.

.BELTRAM| COUNTY TO
GET STATE ROAD FUND

Beltrami county will receive it's
apportionment of the state road fund
March z when the allotment of the
road and bridge fund will be made
by the state highway commission.
According to the state law every
county must have allotted to it at
least 1 per cent of the fund and the
maximum allotment for any one
county is per cent Since the three
largest counties contribute about so
per cent of the fund it is usual to
allot nearly the maximum to Ramsey,
Hennepin and St. Louis counties and
some of the others which contribute
much more than 1 per cent, generally
get back what they pay in.
If this custom is followed this year
the commission will not have more
than 4 or at most 5 per cent of the
fund to distribute among the other
counties of the state over and above
the minimum.

That there will be no continental

That there will be no compulsory
military training BILL
That there will be a compromise
on ultimate but distant Philippine
independence
