ST. CLOUD GIVES UP BASEBALL.

ST. CLOUD GIVES UP BASEBALL
After having tried vainly for several
weeks to scare up the funds for a good
baseball team, St. Cloud has decided
not to have team this year and the
Pretzels, an aggregation which during
its three years Of existence had very
good record, has passed into history.
Among the reasons given for the fail
ure to get team were these: the
baseball grandstand and fence are in
bad shape and need to be replaced;
many neighboring towns, with which
they usually get games, will have no
teams this year, leaving only one or
two teams to play with, etc. They ex-
pect to start a permanent organization
for next year, however.

PLAN PROPOSED FOR
WARMING WATER IN
LOCAL NATATORIUM
OLD RESERVOIR WILL BIZ con.
NECTED UP WITH OVER
FLOW PIPE AT ONCE.
SUNS RAYS viii Heat Water Before
it Reaches Swimming Tank; Revc-
nue. From Pool Believed Sufficient
to Meet All Expenses: Bids for
Pipes 10 BE Asked.

At the meeting Of the council last
evening the natatOrium committee
was authorized TO connect the old
reservoir with the overflow pipe line
, 50 that II may be used as a warming
tank for the natatorium. Lying open
t. the sun the water will be warmed
considerably before being turned in
TO the natatorium
When Chairman Murphy Of the fl
nance committee demurred at incur
ring this additional expense. Council
man Phelps. who Is on the natatori-
um committee made the proposition
that he would take a five year lease
on the natatorum, put in a heating
liant pay the city ten per cent on the
investment and at the end of five
years turn the whole back to the city
free Of encumbrance.
He made this proposition simply as
token Of his faith in the ability Of
the committee to make the natatori-
um pay for all the expenses of up
keep and improvement providing
warmer water could he secured. The
committee simply asked that the city
guarantee the money necessary to
connect the old reservoir. declaring
that before Sept, 1 the revenue from
the swimming pool would be suffi-
cient to pay all expenses.
The result was that the city recor-
der was instructed to advertise for
bids for $50 feet Of 10 inch terra
Gotta pipe. This will necessitate a
delay of ten days or two weeks. How
ever, the city attorney advised that
there was no way Of securing the pipe
under the charter except By advertis-
ing for bids
The old reservoir will hold enough
water to give the natatorium three
Filings. Thus there will always, in
the hot months, be an ample supply
of temperate water At the present
time when the water is first turned in
it is so cold that few people will go
into it, BY the third day it has at
tanned the right temperature and at
the end of three davs must be turned
out for fresh water The committee
believes their plan of having a re-
serve supply of warm water will
double the revenue from the institu-
ton.
Already this year the committee
has had to spend several hundred dol
lars for repairs and Improvements
