Williams caught under difficulty last
Sunday and did remarkably well. The
Negaunee boys found his arm was
lame and tried him out on every op-
portunity they got. He caught one
and stopped further pilfering.
Evans "groved" one with man on
second and third and two strikes on
the batter in the sixth and the result
was long fly that nearly upset the
game. II would have done that very
thing but for the excellent work OF
Annear.
What the locals need 70 make
real fast and heady ball team out OF
them Is the aid OF an old. long-headed
coach, with authority sufficient to cor
rect some OF the boys shortcomings.
This IL particularly true OF the bat

Between the band concert and street
dance last Wednesday evening, Mar
tin S. McDonough of Iron River ad-
dressed the voters OF Crystal Falls
from the band stand in City Hall
square.
Mr. McDonough prefaced his talks
with recital OF what he called an
underhand attack upon him, made by
number of the ministers OF the gos-
pei OF Iron county in set of resolu-
tions adopted at Iron River on Aug.
%. He asked for a square deal" and

Poyseor, who was present on the baud
stand by invitation to reply to Nj.
McDonough.
Mr. McDonough then defined his po-
sition on the prohibition question, the
League of Nations and the conseript-
ing Of labor. His address occupied a.
bout half an hour and was dignihed
throughout.
Mr.. Poyseor then took the stand TO
reply to Mr.. McDonough. He claimed
the ministers had as much right to
express their opinion OF Mr.. McDon-
ough as the bar association. He then
enterted into details OF his opposition
10 Mr.. McDonough and claimed that
the latter promised to close up blind
pigs in Iron county in four days IL the
people would elect him prosecuting
attorney; that Mr.. McDonough was
chosen prosecutor and failed to keep
his promise to close up blind pigs.
At this point considerable hooting
OF part OF the crowd commenced
and continued in sufficient volume 10
drown out the speaker so he desiste1
in any further attempt to speak.
Mr.. McDonough stepped to the front
of the platform and expressed MS be-
lief that Mr.. Poyseor hadn't had lair
treatment from the audience. He de-
MED that he said he would close up
blind pigs. He said he promised to
close up saloons and added that he did
close them up.

NEGAuNEE BEATEN
Locals Won "a Tight Game From Mar.
quette Range Champions

The strong Negaunee team was
beaten after nine innings OF tight bali
at the Athletic Park grounds last
Sunday. The Negaunee team Is ack-
nowledged TO be the best team on the
Marquette range. II was the third
game that Crystal Falls had PLAYED
with the Marquette range boys. The
irst one was won by Negaunee. the
second by Crystal Falls and the game
sunday came TO the locals bag bv n
score OF 3 to-.
IL was fast game all the wav a.
long. Harris was on the mound -.
Negaunee and had slow bali that
was fooling the local boys badly.
ihey connected frequently but their
their connections didn't count for
much as the results were generally
snort drives into fielders' hands.
harris famed seven men and allowed
but one pass. He was hit safely but
Tour times and received excellent sup-
port from his team mates.
Evans pitched his usually good
game. He famed IL and allowed two
hits. A couple OF hard hit balls were
gathered in by Annear in center that
ordinarily would have gone for hits.
The score should have been 2 to 1.
both sides prohting by wild pitches
that allowed runners to advance more
than one base. The ground rules a.
greed upon before the game provided
for one base advance on a bali over
first or third and all that could be got
on one over home or second. In the
third inning Evans issued his only
pass. The runner stole second and
Immediately came home on wild
pitch that got away from Williams.
In the ninth inning Kenny singled
and advanced TO third on a Wild pitch
from which place he scored on an In
field out Immediately afterwards. The
Negaunee boys objected to the ad-
vance but as they had scored on ex-
actly the same play the umpires did
Mt feel that their complaint was JUS
tilted.
The game was a fast one. consum-
Ing one hour and forty minutes. every
minute OF which was one of anxiety
to the attendant fans.
The gate receipt were the largest
OF any this year on the local grounds
showing that the game is increasing
In popularity as the team keeps up
its winning stride.

ONLY TWO TEACHING POSITIONS
REMAIN TO BE FILLED
MANY new NAMES IN LIST
Lack OF Boarding Accommodation
is Greatest Drawback to
Getting Teachers

Supt. w. ID. Hill announced last
Wednesday that, with the exception OF
two vacancies in country schools. ev-
erything is ready for the beginning OF
the school year 1920-2l, next Mon
day. The two schools that are with
out teachers are in the northern end
OF the township, one in the Fisher
district and the other in the Poutinen
district.
Both of these positions had been
filled but lack of boarding accommo-
dations caused designations to come
In until II SENS almost impossible to
get teachers for the two places.
Mr.. Hill has plans made and he ex-
poets TO be able to say that the po-
sitions are filled.
Teachers on job Today
The teachers are all on the Job to-
day. Supt. Hill called teachers
meeting for this afternoon at 800 o.
clock, at which time II Is expected
that almost every teacher will be on
hand TO take part in the proceedings.
Teachers have benn arriving all
week There are ~ teachers in the
schools OF this district, ten OF them
in country schools and 62 In the city
schools. 1t has been quite task to
provide all OF these teachers with
boarding places. This task Is getting
harder as the years roll by. Fewer
people care to take boarders with
each succeeding year. Rooms are go
ing up in price each year until this
season many teachers are paying $40
per month with two persons in
room.
Miss True Cassiday got home from
her summer school work last week
and Immediately set at work to get
the supply department of the schools
In order. She has been arranging
the books and doling out other sup
plies for teachers all week.
The janitors have the schools IN
ship shape for another year. The
building didn't need as much renov-
iation as usual this year, as they
were thoroughly gone over year
ago.

 Brewer was arrested Sunday night and Allison was brought to the county 1ail yesterday morning by Deputy Sheriff Sam Arnett.
 complete investigation was begun early yesterday morning by Solicitor J. R. Tate and assistant Coroner John R. T. Rives. According to statements made to Solicitor Ttate by arresting officers and witnesses, Brewer, who is an employe of the Gintown mines, accompanied by Lynn, went to Gintown, and before a group of union miners gathered there discussing the strike, he boasted that he was a scab and asked them what they were going to do about it.

 elapsed since the distribution of the Victory medal was begun by the war department. The main recruiting sta tion at Birmingham has received and forwarded 2,554 applications from ex- soldiers and the nearest of kin in Ala bama. This number is small in view of the fact that S1,09S persons in Ala bama are entitled to the medal. It is therefore urged by the recruiting of, fieer for the district of Alabama, that all persons entitled to the Victory medal apply for the same at once, $ it is anticipated that the special cleri- cal force on this work at Birmingham will be withdrawn in the near future and considerable delay will be caused in obtaining the medal, after this spe- cial force is ordered away.
