NJ. S. P. Wins Good Game
CONTINUED from page IL

lNOuIiuucu AOm page ~
Wells scored on Brad's hit, Jam going to
third. Lohr got on when Mccain juggled
his grounder. Jam, in taking too big lead
off third, was thrown out, Tew to Brown.
In the ninth inning the visitors had men
on and came dangerously near the scoring
point. Mccain was called safe at first on
very close decision. Brown tried to bunt
but Wells recovered the ball in time to
throw out Mccain at second but Brown
beat out the throw from second to first on a
small margin. Tew got safe hit. Por-
ter picked out good one and swung on it
with all his might but all the result he OBJ
tanned was to roll the ball few feet from
time to throw out the batsman at first, al
though the other two base runners advanced
one peg each. A safe hit now meant two
scores and possibly weakning of the locals
defensive work. Anderson lifted a high
fly to center field and Gil after making a
beautiful running catch ended the game.
Mr.. Kolliner, who is Mayor of Stillwa-
ter and an enthusiastic fan, was present to
witness the game and was called upon to
do the umpiring at the home plate. This
he readily accepted and continued to offici-
ate in that position until pressing business
called him away. Mr.. Tolen, who is man.
ager of the Saltwater Interstate league team
was present and he officiased at the plate
for the remainder of the game. Mr.. Long,
who is soldier, officiated on the bases.
Wells who did the twirling for the locals,
was in good working form and he pitched
an excellant game. His team mates be-
hind him gave him wonderful support and
the way they pounded out victory was
something immense.
Mccain, who did the pitching for the
visitors, did exceptionally good work. His
team mates played well but seemed too anx-
iouS to win the game.

Motion Picture Show

Goldwyn's great star, Mabel Normand,
one of the worlds greatest and most popu-
lar cinema artists, appeared on the audi
torium silver sheet, Wednesday, May Is, in
"Mickey," six-reel Mack Sennett produc-
ton. The play is comedy drama and in
some parts verging so closely upon the tragic
that the spectator is brought from the
heights of joyous hilarity down to the vale
of tears.
The supporting cast is excellent, and the
scenes and settings, especially those of the
race track and swiftly moving railway
train, show that no pains or expense had
been spared to give the spectators plenty of
thrills and hold them in rapt attention.
That the inmates thoroughly enjoyed the
play goes without saying and they
deeply appreciate the generosity of Mana
ger Bolls of the Majestic theatre of Still
water whose courtesy in loaning this picture
and others in the past is considered one OF
the bright features of our weekly entertain
ments.
No better play, however, has been shown
here this year. Miss Normand is certainly
at her best in the character of "Mickey,
and there isn't any doubt that when this
play has run its course but what she will
have reached to even greater heights of fame
and popularity. There isn't any expression
more fitting than to say. ''she is simply
wonderful"
So absorbed were the inmates in the play
that they nearly failed TO applaud Mr.. B.,
whose singing always brings such hearty
response that he is compelled to sing an
encore. As it was, however, they detached
themselves long enough from the engaging
"Mickey" to give Mr.. B. appreciative ap.
plause.
That the M. S. P. has good moving
picture protector and an operator who un.
derstands his business is evidenced by the
remarkable steadiness and clearness of the
pictures. There is no Pickering or ligh,
flashes to mar the pictures in the least,
Sometimes, however. the pictures appear
more or less dim, but that is caused by the
light coming through the doors at the en-
tryway being accidentally left open. The
light coming through the doors strike:
across the rays from the protector, thu.
dimming the picture.
The orchestra played an excellent pro.
gram in delightful manner. Of especial
note was Mr.. C's. performance on the
xylophone, and that enhancing march,

Intermittently all nigh, and all day Sunday
the beneficial rain came down, breaking the

Next Saturday the Cretin high school
team of St. Paul will try conclusions with

This team so far this season has beat all
to be strong aggregation. If they play
up to their reputation and the locals don't
get one of their ''off streaks'' the game
ought to be good.

Johnson's Team Loses Dec
oration Day Game

Johnson's base ball tossers from Oak
Park who crossed bats with the locals on
Decoration Day were defeated by score
of 6 to 5.
The breaks in the game were about even
ly divided, therefore, causing very excit-
ing game all the way. Only in one inning
did the locals have a small percentage the
best of the breaks and this occurred in the
third frame.
The locals commenced scoring in the
opening chapter. Jam struck out. Brad
drove one through Byers for safe hit; he
then stole second. Lohr struck out. John
hit the ball squarely on the nose, scoring

Mass was held in the chapel Sunday
morning.
According to one of our weather prog
nosticators the three-days high northeast
wind during the week of May ll-l7 was
forerunner of the protracted dry spell of the
past two weeks. 1t is always so, he says.
The institution florists are busy these
days getting flower beds and pots ready in
which to transplant plants and flowers from
the greenhouse.
In a crowd of visitors passing through
the institution last Thursday the first straw
hat of the season, in these parts, came into
view.
The large score board in the dining
hall is of increasing interest as the league
teams ''find themselves and warm into
shape. Many are the "silent bets'' being
made on this or that favorite team, but the
three leading teams, New York, Chicago
and St. Paul, seem to be the general
favorites just now.
Monthly supplies were issued to the
inmates last Thursday, May %,
For the first time in three years-since
l916-have the inmates been privileged to
observe Decoration day out in the yard.
On that day in both 1917 and 1918 it
rained hard all day and the inmates were
compelled to celebrate in the cell halls, but
this year the weather was ideal for a holiday
and the inmates took full advantage of it
and enjoyed themselves to the utmost.
While the inmates realize that Decoration
day is one that should be observed in a
quiet and reverent manner, they beg to be
excused if they celebrated in somewhat
joyous spirit, as holiday is to them-well,
just holiday.
Among the fans accompanying the

outbreak of the war.
Some long-wlnded ball games are being
played in the big leagues this season: Sun
day an 18-inning game was played between
Philadelphia and Brooklyn of the National
league, resulting in a score of 10 to 9 in
favor of the former.
AN interruption occurred to the pro-
longed dry spell last Friday night in the
form of small thunder cloud that, while
enroute over this neck of the woods,
emptied few bucketfulls of the "we

Cares"

Lay aside your cares and worries,
Close your desk and pack your grip,
For you owe yourself an outing,
A vacation, and trip;
Come and rest your weary body.
Where the laughing waters steal,
Through the shady hooks that lure you.
Come with trusty rod and reel.
Come and learn real joys of fishing
Sporty bass or gamey pike;-
Take train that leaves your home town.
You can motor if you like;
Come and hear the wild birds singing,
Joining in the welcome, too;
For ten thousand lakes are calling.
They are calling, you
Come and bring the family with you,
Where the cooling breezes creep
Through the pine trees of the forests,
Gently singing you to sleep;
Where the sky blue waters crimson,
As the sun sets in the west;
Come partake of Natures tonic
In the land of peace and rest.
Come and breathe the fragrant ozone
Of the piney- wooded land,
In playground made to order
By good Mother Natures hand;
Come on up to Minnesota
With your pack-sack and canoe,
For ten thousand lakes are calling
They are caIling,-calling you.

To be little human!
How much comforting remark will do to

The Road

A hurrying road runs past my door.
1t runs away for evermore
And sings of wood and sea and shore.
The trees which grow along its way.
They beckon, beckon day by day.
The clouds balloon above its track
And signal me, "Why hold you backi
The world is waiting here for you;
Its floors are green, its roof is blue,
And all its scenes are fresh and new
As wild wood violets drenched in dew
A hill, horizoned, seems to rise
To join it to the distant skies,
And from its summit surely stands
A vision of The Joyous Lands.
And every wisp of wind which passes
Hints of the lure of cushioned grasses,
The perfumes of the lily pound,
The laughing, lettering brook beyond;
And there, half hidden by the leaves
Wherein the wood-dove coyly grieyes,
There, in dimly beckoning bower,
Tendriled and trailed with bud and flower,
There, in the fullness of her charms,
Safe hidden from the worlds alarms,
Is Bodybuilding out her arms!
The road still hastens past my door
beyond the far-horizoned shore,
And bids me wander and explore,
But here keep forevermore.
Only as we resist the lure
Of dreams do any dreams endure,
