GAME
BISHOP BUSCH SPOKE AT FAIR
GROUNDS SUNDAY-R0YAI- :,
TON SKINNED LOCALS

Due to the fact that Bishop Busch
of St. Cloud spoke at the ball park
before the ball game Sunday, many
people who otherwise would probably
not have attended, were at the game:
The gate receipts, which will go into
the treasury Of the local Red Cross
chapter, amounted to 1921.
Bishop Busch spoke on subjects relat,
ing to conditions Of the present time
and said that he could see no wrong in
the playing of Red Cross baseball
games on Sunday as he said that
helping Charity on Sunday was permis,
sible. >,:'
He spoke a few words on the primary
election denouncing the Non-partisan
league and its leaders. He urged the
people Of Morrison county to vote for
loyal candidates. Bishop Busch is a
very plain speaker and everything he
said certainly could be plainly under
stood. .y1+f,
Immediately after the address OF
Bishop Busch the Red Cross baseball
club Of this city faced the supposedly
slow Royalton team. The Royalton
team sprung surprise upon the local
team, however, they scoring two runs
in the second and II runs in the third
inning. P. Newman, who was in the
box for the locals, when it was seen
that he could do nothing with the Roy.
alton sluggers, was replaced by Frank
Hall, who Jared little better. Hall was
replaced by H. Newman who checked
the Royalton players, they not being
able to get another run after he was
put in the box. He is a youngster and
has never had any experience pitching
against heavy hitters. The game was
called at the end Of the seventh inning
on account Of the 6 o'clock law.
Sunday was the last game in which
Herman Tanner, the catcher on the 10.
cal team, will likely catch. He. will
leave soon to join the colors. The mem
bers Of the local club and friends pre-
sented him with $25 in War Savings
Stamps, as a wedding present.

Almost everyone has either him

victory or defeat in big athletic
contest He himself may have It
a winner or loser, or he may have
sat in the stands and watched his
boy win or lose. OF course, this is
cnly play, but no one studies the
mood of American youth and man

Suppose we apply what we know to

means subjugation! Perhaps there
are nations and races meant for slav-

spiritual sense may mean little, but
to the American it means so much
that every single one of the horrors
that would come from a defeat and

probably produce a suicidal mania.
Spiritually, a defeat at the hands of
Germany would mean that our Amer

picture seems impossible. Shall we
make it impossible? If We are going
to do this, everyone-not alone of the

make himself physically fit to stand
the strain of 4 long contest. There
are eight million men in this country

Hence, every one Of these men has a

Paris. Jan THE final account
ing of the fiscal department for the
year 1918 shows that the ten depart
