Is d Benedict

Bismarck, N. D., July 25.-J. G.
Christensen, "Christy" to the thou
sands Of Slope fans who have ad-
mired his work on the mound, re-
turned to Bismarck Tuesday night
to report to the local draft board for
a place with the select service men
who now are en- route to Camp
Custer. "Christy" found that the
quota had been filled, and that his
turn would not come until next
month. The interesting feature Of
the story is that "Christy" is now a
benedict, having married Miss Elma
E. Cady Of Forman at Minneapolis
a month ago. Mr.. Christensen's
parents live at Forman, and it was
during visits home that this romance
blossomed. Since leaving Bismarck,
where Christy starred on the famous
semi-pro team Of 1917, and where
he was connected with the Carpen-
ter Lumber Co., until May Is, he
has been employed with the Minnea-
polls General Electric Co., and has
been pitching on the company's
crack team. Before joining the Bis
marck lineup last year, Christen-
sen had pitched with Grand Forks
and Duluth in the Northern league.
