Every soldier should be able to
find his way in strange country;
should know how to use compass;
should know how to locate the north
star; should be able to travel across
country, keeping a given direction,
both by day and by night. and by oh.
serving landmarks he should be able
to return TO the starting point wheth-

great pace, were finally tumbled here
on Sunday afternoon, when Jack Her.
zog's fighting Manitowocs downed them
in 4 to battle. A crowd of 2,2O0
sweltering fans witnessed the game.
Hank Schultz, who is former Chair
maker, caused the downfall of the
Liebl machine. Hank twirled the
best ball of his career and the Sheboy-
ganites were unable TO solve his offer
ings. Two hits, both of the scratch
variety, was all that the Liebl slug
gers could muster off Schultz while
eight batters were sent back on
strikes. Schultz however, was back

evident to everyone. The city can
with difficulty house its Inhabitants
despite the great building operations.
The fact has now been ascertained.
