WILCOX TRUX VS.. M. S. P.
Saturdays Game Was Close Contest Between Visiting
Team and Locals
By J. r. s.

The Wilcox Trux base ball team
from Minneapolis, who. on Septem-
Der 18th of this year won the
championship in the twin cities
district, was scheduled to cross
bats with the locals on the latter's
diamond last Saturday at 3:15 p.
m. As the visiting team was ira
Yelling to their scene of action in a
motor truck, they had the misfor-
tune to. have their conveyance
break down, causing them to wait
for another truck to arrive from
Minneapolis to convey them on to
their destination. They reached
here at 4:30 p. m. in gala form and
the game was commenced at once.
1t was a nip and tuck game with
the locals having a small margin

early chapter but the visitors came

hits. Each in turn was thrown
out at second when they tried to
steal that station, Jam to Brad.
But when the locals came to bat in
their half of this frame, Oh Boy!
how they did shatter the hopes of
the visitors. On a combination of
hits and errors and Brad's base
stealing the visitors we're taken in
.ox and before they we're able to
collect themselves, three scores
had crossed the home plate. Brad
the first man to bat in this frame
worked Anderson for pass on
balls. Brad now being safe on the
runway he sprints to second on the
first ball delivered. He was COM
PEELED to hit the dirt some dozens
of feet away from the base. Never
the-less he slid safely to anchor
upon the bag and when the dust
clouds began to clear he discovered
the ball bounding upon the field
with three fielders in pursuit. He
is soon upon his feet and racing
for the third station and with
another sensational slide he is safe
again. Hick who was now at bat
clouted out a single scoring Brad.
Jam dumped one in front of the
plate and on felder's choice play
to second both runners were al
lowed to get safely on and they
were advanced one peg each on
Anderson's wild throw. Lohr
tried to keep the good work in
operation but the best he could do
was to-make three vicious swings
at the sphere as it came hurting
toward him. Iver the next man
up tried to dump one in front of
the plate and at the same time
Hick made a dash for home plate.
Anderson who recovered the ball
took a fielder's choice and threw
it to Shoemaker, bottling up Hick
between third and home. Strong
in throwing the ball back to Shoe
maker hit Hick on the shoulder al
lowing him to score. Bud hit a
sizzling grounder past second,
scoring Jam. Wells hit a grass
cutter to Holland who in turn
threw out Bud at second. Burn
was thrown out Anderson to
Leverett. Burns out retired the
side and the locals now took the
field with renewed vigor for they
had come from behind and took
the lead by a margin of two points.
They handed the visitors q goose
egg in the fifth but when they
came to bat again they increased
their lead by getting one more
score. Fros the first man up was
thrown out, Shoemaker to
Leverett. Brad again worked the

Holland wa. the Visitors Batting Here

Holland was the Visitors Batting Hero
from behind in the last stages of
the game and carried off the
laurels by a victory of to 5.
Neither team was able to score
until the opening of the third
frame, Thurman who was the
first man up landed on the horse
hide for three-bagger. Then
just to help a good cause along,
Wells the first ball he delivered to
the following batsman threw it
wild allowing Thurman to score.
However, the three following bats
men went out in order. In the locals
turn at bat in this frame to hurry
the game along and likewise kid
their opponents, Wells and Burn
lifted high flies to Sherohman who
promptly took care of them and
Eros was thrown out Leverett to
Anderson.
With the opening of the fourth
frame the visitors came back
strong with their offensive work
and by the locals putting up a cast
iron defense they were able to
hold their opponents scoreless.

polished wooden silver from one
of his vest pockets.
''Now, you wouldn't believe that
in one way, weight for weight con-
sidered. this is stronger than
steel bar. would your
I admitted that it sounded i'm
probable.
He did not bother to argue. Ad.
justing a fine balance scale, he
placed the toothpick on one of the
pans. and brought the arms to
horizontal by laying a 3-inch
length of light steel wire on the
other pan. The weights were
equal. and the lengths the same.
Then in small testing machine
he proceeded to apply tension to
the steel wire. At 20 lb. the steel
gave way. Then he fixed the
toothpick in place, taking care not
to crush the wood fbers. The in
creasing tension tended to pull the
toothpick apart in the middle-the
grain, of course, running length
wise. At "a ID. the toothpick
failed.
He looked disappointed, and i'm
mediately offered excuses. The
toothpick should have withstood
100 lb. or more. but evidently the
testing machine had harmed its
resistance. Also, a silver of yel-
low poplar. Sitka spruce. or
Douglas fir would do better than
white pine.
/ was willing to take his word
for it now, however. He went on
to tell me how the denser woods
all could beat steel in this test by
from 300 to 900 per cent, but that
when tested across the grain, the
best of wood showed only from
one.fourth to one-half the strength
of steel. That's why plywood
was invented" he commented.
Plywood essentially is a piece of
wood of any variety, cut by a
machine into thin panels, and
glued together again in such man
ner that the grain of one panel
runs at right angles to the grain
of the two adjacent panels. In
order to understand this perfectly,
let us suppose that lin. square
of Georgia pine, % in. thick, be
cut into four Lin. panels each Is
in. in thickness. Let us place the
first ON the table before us so that
the grain runs north and south.
On top of this let us glue the
second panel, the grain running
east and west. The third follows,
grain north and south, while the
fourth is east and west again. The
completed article is small section
of plywood panel, the strength
of which. in two planes, greatly
exceeds that of steel. With some
woods, by combining cuts, it is
even possible to secure greater re-
sistance to stress in all three planes
than steel affords, though it is
rarely necessary to 60 SO far.
Ordinarily wood used in construc-
tion, as for airplane wing ribs,
engine bearers, and the like, is not
required to Withstand severe
stresses in more than two of the
three planes. What the develop
ment of plywood has meant to air.
plane construction is we'll illustra-
ted by the instance of the De Hav-
iland-4. Before plywood, the best
airplane wing rib developed
weighed 1896 or. and was capable
of sustaining a load of only 81 lb.
The first plywood wing rib made
by the Forest Products Laboratory
weighed 6.93 or, and sustained q
load of 100 lb. Since then, al
though a wire-strengthened rib
was invented by these experts

An undefiled heritage.

Controlled and cleanly night and day;

more belligerent than Russian men,

human beings in Russia, not as fe-
males" she said.

We'll, why did you not ask other
witnesses the same Questions?" Mrs.
Reed fired back.
i think that was a matter within
the discretion OF the committee, ["
Overman rejoined.
1t was obviously unjust, however,
everyone will admit" Mrs. Reed re-
piled with a note of anger. Holding
telegram in her hand Mrs. Reed
pressed the committee to explain why
1t had cancelled subpoenas issued for
the appearance OF Albert Rhys Will
liams and Raymond Robbins OF Chi
cago.
why did you not allow those men
TO come here?" she asked.
"It seems that you don't want to
hear those who know most about
Russia"
Senator Overman retorted that
Williams and Robbins could not be
heard, because Of their delayed ac-
ceptance OF service, and an early ad-
Journment of the sessions OF the COM
mittee must be taken to allow Sem
ators to devote more time to other
matters.
But you have time to hear every
other person with little pickayunish
grievance. Those who come here to
favor self-determination or TO urge
the withdrawal Of American troops
f-om Russia are dubbed traitors.
That's why l protest"

Senator Overman suddenly stopped
the heated interchange, and after a
whispered conversation with his col
leagues they all withdrew to an ante
room for a conference. When he re-
turned Mr.. Overman announced that
the committee would allow Mrs. Reed
to proceed at length with her state
ment and on behalf OF himself and
other members of the subcommittee
he disclaimed any intention to abridge
any OF the woman's privileges.
You came here as the champion of
the Soviet government, did you nc. .?r
Major HUmes asked Mrs. Reed
Il did not" she responded. "I
came here to testify neither for nor
against the Soviet governments, but
simply to give you the facts"
To a protestation by Senator Over
man, Mrs. Reed replied hotly:
SO long as people come here and
tell you that people are falling dead
on the street from starvation, thew
are allowed to ramble on for hours"
