sew Team LEAGUE!
(CENTRAL MINI. LEAGUE TAKES
IN vERNDAI.EsEAsoN OF
12 GAMES.

Inc CenCral Minnesota Baseball
league held meeting at the Elks hall
in this city Wednesday evening, with q
good attendance. Directors present
were Siebenthal Of Crosby, Grimstad Of
Ironton, Cook Of Brainerd, Cross Of
Staples, Stoll Of this city, Farrell Of st.
Cloud and Schuft Of Verndale. Secre-
tary Hofbauer Of Brainerd was also
present and several other fans from the
various towns in the league were at the
meeting. Charles Sylvester, president,
presided over the meeting. sz
The committee on bylaws presented
q set which were adopted. These were
not available for publication this week.
The schedule committee presented a
schedule but it was not adopted owing
to a number Of changes that are nee
essary. The schedule may have to be
perfected by the officers.
The league was changed to seven
team league, Verndale being admitted
upon their own application. Aitkin al
SO asked to be admitted but was not
accepted owing to her location.
It was decided to engage a neutral
umpire for each game and to have three
official ,umpires to officiate during the
entire season but also to appoint one
substitute for each game in case that
the regular man could not attend. The
umpires will have authority to put
players out Of the game when occasion
warrants it and to settle disputes. The
umpires can also advise further pun
ishment,s such as expulsion, for unbe-
coming conduct on the part Of players.
Admission fee was fixed at 35 cents
for adults and Is cents for children,
the clubs to fix their own charges for
grandstand as this is retained by>the
local team. Distribution of receipts
will be so per cent to winners and 40
to losers. II -
A schedule Of expenses will be ar
ranged by the president and secretary
of the league. The purpose Of this is
so that no club can 60 to any unneces.
sary expense for trips. .-..-.s
The season will consist probably Of IL
games, but owing to the change making
| it a seven-team league each team will
have one open Sunday during the sea-
son. Little Falls will not be able to
use the local fair grounds for the
games on June 8 and Is as the Seventh
Day Adventists will be holding their
convention there at that time, but these
games will in all probability be played
at the Royalton grounds.
ST.. Cloud does not intend to engage
any outside salaried players for time,
lat least, as they feel that they have
sufficient material at home. Their
team will be known as the Blummer.
Guthmann nine. :
All games will start at 'cloek p;
M, except games that will fall on holi.
! days. r ...-s.. ~
Each club in the league must deposit
800 with the treasurer before May 90,
as guarantee that it will remain in the
league until the end Of the season and
will play all games.

NO COMMON BARBERRY HERE

NO COMMON BARBERRY. HERE.
Robert NJ. Groesbeck, field assistant,
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture, was in Little. Falls Tuesday and
Wednesday for the purpose Of destroy
ing the common barberry.
This bush, an ornamental shrub, is
condemned as the spreader> Of black
rust. A law passed this spring makes
it. misdemeanor to have on one 8
premises any green or purple barber
ry.
stI conducted very thorough search
for the bush in Little Falls" said Mr..
Groesbeck, ttbut, with the exception Of
a few sprouts, was unable to locate any
here. -
There were great many paintings
found in this city last year, but, due
to the efforts Of property owners, they
were all destroyed. If this kind Of CO.
operation with the Department of Agri.
culture were statewide, farmers of
Minnesota would have little to fear
from the ravages Of black stem rust,

STEPHEN sI1doNET WRITES IN
TERESTnq LETTER.

Richard Burton is in receipt Of a
very interesting letter from Stephen
Simonet, who is with the Red Cross
Commission in Berlin, Germany.
Stephen and Roy Turner have been sep
arated, Roy having been sent to
Chemnitz, small place.
Life in Berlin is all excitement,
Stephen says, and he adds that he is
having his share of fun. He states
that he is living, at the Kaiserhof, the
finest hotel in the city, and the meals
are the best that one could desire.
The people Of Berlin, he says, can It
get accustomed to seeing the Americans
there and get over the fact that they
are there, but whenever they meet an
American soldier they stare at him. One
German asked Stephen if the soldiers
had any idea when they went across
that they would ever see Berlin, to
which Stephen replied 'Why certainly,
our slogan when we came across was
Berlin or Bust and all that we are
sorry for is that we did not come in
here behind the guns Stephen adds
that there is an awful mess in Germany
at present; the people. will not work
and half Of them are Bolshevists and
have control of large part Of the
country. Riots are still in evidence
and the streets are guarded and machine
guns and even big guns are not an nn'
frequent sight on the streets. We
thought it was a bluff when we were
told in France that the Germans were
starving, but it is true, nevertheless, ne
said. ~ -
Speaking Of the gay life in Berlin he
says that he had considered Paris a wilC
burg but anyone who has been in both
cities will agree that Berlin has Paris
beat to frazzle when it comes tt
speed. He concludes his letter by stat
ing that he does not expect to gel
home before July or August as he ha:
agreed to accompany the commission OF
a trip to Paris, Italy, Cairo, Egypt, and
! to Africa. - --- - \
