Interesting Experiment.

Prof. Carl wager of Ortonvile, con-
Quoted very interesting experiment
at the Park garage at that place last
week, when he showed a new chem
ical, which when mixed with water,
took the place of gasoline, for run
ming combustion engines. The test
was made in an automobile, but due
to the fact that wager is Of German
descent and was unable to fully ex-
plain the workings of the chemical,
another demonstration will be held in
the near future. At that time he is to
use the chemical in condensed crys-
tai form, instead of as liquid as was
the case in the first experiment. It is
claimed that enough crystal may be
carried in the tool box of car, when
on trip to make one hundred gal
Ions.

LOCAL SPORT DOPE


The high school basket bali team
won a comparatively easy victory
over the Benson high school last Sat-
urday evening. The score was SO to
8. The game was featured by the re-
markably close guarding of the win
ners, the efforts Of the visitors net
ting them but three field baskets dur
ing the evening. The teams were
evenly matched as far as weight was
concerned. but there the likeness
stopped, as there was absolutely no
comparison in their basket ball abil-
ity, individually or as a team. Ben
son had splendid team work, as long
as the ball was in their own half Of
the floor, but the minute it was work
ed down to within striking distance
of the basket, some Willmarite would
break it up. Ellingson, center and F.
Minikus at right forward did the bas-
ket shooting for the losers, while
Capt. Donnelly shot two fouls in the
first half.
For Willmar Edmond Nelson and
Walt Erickson starred on the offens-
i've. Each man sent the ball thru the
net eight times during the game. The
way Eckie dribbled thru the entire
Benson team before shooting, was a
caution, and had he been able to con-
meet with the basket each time, he
undoubtedly would have established a
local record for baskets in single
$vok TOD
get going Saturday evening as he was
covered extremely close thruout the
game: In floor work, the Willmar
guards, Capt. Osmondson and Sather
shown with real brilliancy. Never
have two guards in local high school
basket ball, worked as smoothly in
unison as do these two.
One Of these days, when a team
comes along that will play basket
ball and not insist on hanging onto
their opponents all the time, local en-
thusiasts are going to see real game
as the team this year has unlimited
possibilities, and it will be interest
ing to see just how far they can let
themselves out, when the occasion de-
mands. Altho the game Saturday eve
ming was hard, and at times even
rough, there was no attempt by either
team to play dirty. The score:
Benson Willmar
Donnelly (C)....L F...... Lundquist
F. Minikus ....R F...... e. Nelson
Euingson ........C.....W. Erickson
G. Minikus .....L G......... Sather
Chevaier ......R G.. (C) Osmundson

son, 2; E. Nelson; Sather; Ellingson.
Referee, Hengstler; umpire, Winters.
On Friday evening Of this week
there will be another double header
at the high school gymnasium, when
the Dassel boys and girls teams meet
the teams from the local high school.
Both Wll1mar teams are putting in
hard practices this week in prepare
ton for the games. The girls in par
ticular are going to try hard and over
come the hoodoo that seems to be
following them in their efforts to turn
in a victory. The first game will be-
gin at eight O'Clock, and the admis-
sion fee will be Is and Is cents.

WRIGHT PROVES HE
is A REAL SPORT

Although interest in sandlot base
ball this season in and around Wash
ington has been considerably below
that of former years, there are two
clubs which appear to have suffered
less than the others, namely, Rex
A. C., and the Clarendon nine. The
games played by these teams, par
ticularly in the recent independent
title series, have been well attended,
due largely to the personal popular
ity of the two managers and their
players. Thee. clubs met five times
during the season, Clarendon winning
three to ReX's two.
The following letter from Manager
Wright, of the Rex club, to-J. Rufus
Jones, pilot of the Virginia team,
congratulating the latter on his sue
cess in the title series, shows the
good feeling that exists between these
leading rival clubs:
1.-THE players of the Rex Athletic
Club Join me in hearty congratula-
tions to yourself and the players of
your team in winning the independent
championship of Northern Virginia
and the District of Columbia. May
the success attained in this series be
small compared to the success of
yourself and players in your daily
vocation in life, is the sincerest wish
of those connc cted with the Rex
Athletic Club"

WILL PUNCH Win IN
WORLD TITLE GAMES?
Giants Prove Strongest at Bat, but
Rivals Excel at Base Running.

The man with the punch wins. It's
an old adage. but 1t still counts for a
great deal in the general order of
things. So 1t Is the team with the
punch usually wins-not always, Of
course, but often enough to be a rule
of the game. II the punch is going to
count in the impending world series
who carries the punch? That's the
question. But it's far from being an
easy question to answer
The punch in baseball is a compound
composed of three ingredients, namely,
battling, base running and run scor-
ing. Obviously the Giants don't bat
against the same pitchers as the
White Sox nor do the White Sox run
the bases against the same catchers as
the Giants. Are the pitchers in the
American League stronger as a whole
than those in the National League?
Are the catchers in the National
League better than those in the Amer
lean League? There are no answers
TO those questions. Delving into a
maze of mystic figures leads nowhere.
But it is interesting, nevertheless to
study the records compiled by the
rival teams in their respective leagues
this year. What each of the regular
players has done in the way of base
stealing and batting is herewith
Sbp
