iRv limited Pressl

St. Paul, Jan. 3-The year 1920
will see the most rapid development
,of aero mechanics of any era in his
tory according to aviation experts
here today.
Already the governemnt is devel-
oping plans for an extensive air mali
service as soon as weather conditions
are right and the service is fully
organized.
The United States forestry SER
vice expects to develop the airplane
for forest patrol work and for COM

EFFORTS of the department along these
lines have been confined to expert
= ments.
Commercial development of the
-airplane, according to experts here
will outstrip other branches OF av-
7iation largely because there is
ssreat monetary gain ahead for the
firm that develops regular conner
cial airplane express service.

WINNERS IN SPLENDID
TRIM FROM PLAYING

Nearly 400 basketball enthusiasts
witnessed the opening game of the
season for the Ralph Oracle post,
American Legion quintette of this
city when it met the fast Cleveland
aggregation from St. Paul last even
ing on the armory floor. Although
the visiting team had the advantage
of having already played several
games this season, the local boys
were defeated by only a small mar
gin, the game ending with score
of 20 to 16.
From start to finish, the encounter
was full of ''pep", both sides play
ing an excellent game. Several long
throws by the visiting team. were
a real credit and netted many points
against the locals. The entire Cleve-
land quint played we'll together but
did not have the local boys outclassed
at any stage of the game.
Bemidji Shows Well.
The Bemidji legion team made a
fine showing for the first game Of
the season, but lacked the experience
of not having played before. Plum
mer,in the forward position, played
a fast game and Berrigan, as center,
kept the visiting center busy. Phibbs
played a hard game but did not come
up to his previous record. Graham
and Bailey, as guards, kept their bas-
ket we'll protected. Howe and
George Graham, who were substi-
tutes in the second half, played in
good form.
Predict Victory Tonight.
Now that the local boys have had
a stiff try-out, they say that they are
coming out tonight for nothing less
than a victory in the second and
last game of the series, which prom
ises to be an even more exciting
match than that staged last night.
The Bemidji band did not show
up as it was reported it would, to
add pep" to the gathering last night,
nevertheless enthusiasm was very
keen, both sides being cheered on
deserving points.
The ego" this evening will be call
ed at 1880 o'clock sharp, so as to be
over in time to benefit those who
wish to attend the second showing

to be on time to witness the game,

boys say they are going to win.
