Field of Local Sport

Showing themselves to be in a
class by themselves, and equal to any
team in their territory, the Machine
Gun Company basket ball shooters
defeated the Independents of Brain
ard by a score of 43 to IL here last
Friday evening. The game was play
ed at the Junior high school audi
torium.,
Because of the fact that this game
was not called until 8 o'clock, the at
tendance at the contest fell far be-
low the average, although fair
sized crowd of fans were ON deck to
see their favorites take another
scalp.
The Brainard team was composed
of players who were at one time part
of the Y. M. C. A. Athletic Club of
that city. They were all experienced
basket shooters, but were entirely at
the mercy of Manager French's
squad.
AT no time was there any doubts
as to the results Of the contest. Sank

Large Plate Glass in
Vandesteeg Store Broken
Young Men Filled With MOonshine
go Through Front of Local
Jewelry Establishment

A large plate-glass window in the
Vandesteeg Jewely Store was brok-
en- last Thursday night when a 10
acl young man, alleged to have been
loaded with "moonshine," fell
through the glas front, totally de-
molishing the big glass.
Persons who are said to have wit
messed the accident, claim that the
young man was pushed through the
window" by a companion, who like
himself, had been guest where
'The Moonshine on the Moonshine. F"
At the time of the breaking of the
window, there were very few people
on the street in the vicinity of the
store. The young man responsible for
the affair Immediately made himself
known and agreed to pay for the
damage done.
| 1t is probably, however, that the
breaking of the window in the Van
desteeg store will lead to another
"moonshine raid" in the vicinity of
Sank Centre.
Authorities are aware OF the fact
that number of the young men OF
the city have been finding little diff
Guilty in securing the particular
brand of "joy-juice" and the accident
Thursday will be used as lever in
the conducting Of an investigation.
One member of the city's official
force said Friday that he knew OF
at least two local dispensaries of
moonshine liquor and that he was
waiting for an opportunity to put
these institutions on of business.
1t is probable that as a result .ot
the continued disposal of this liquor
that the entire city official force will
be called to act in the matter.

Sank Centre is Not
Popular with HObOs
Alertness of Local Police Force Make
This City Tough Picking for
l.: the Weary Willie

Mr.. Hobo, the real old "Blown in
the Bottle Stiff" the type Of which is
fast fading from immediate exist
ance, is giving Sank Centre and To-
cality wide berth this winter.
Members of the local police force
say that they have not been bother
ed with this gentry in any class, and
that the city; as result, was de-
prived of the privilege of serving
the usual Christmas dinner to a
"guest of honor" ...... ..-.
"Most of those wellows are stick
ing close to the Cities" one police
official said this week. eve get very
few of them in this spotless little
town, and those who do favor us with
a passing 'howdy' make it entirely
q passing event. The old time Bo
finds slim picking in the outlaying
towns of the country. There is too
much for him to do and he is too
easily spotted But this is the
first holiday week in some time that
we have not had a few of the breed
on our winter calling list. ~
Then too, the service at the Sank
Centre Jail is not any too tempting.
All meals must be carried in from
outside and cold spuds and coffee is
not tempting morsel to the average
high classed hobo. Sank Centre has
a good comfortable jail, the night
cop says. In fact he is proud of it;
it has "a "bull pen," cage and all and
can accommodate three guests with
ease, but even this inducement is not
meeting with the usual holiday favor.

.hundredand sixty-five days each yeal
meeting with a smile the various
moods of an unappreciative public
is not light nor happy undertaking
but it pays. AS result Of their
efforts to render good service to the
public, the girls at the local ex-
change were literally swamped with
Christmas compliments. Among 9TH
er things, they are just at present
discussing the ACCESSIBILITY of the
proper disposal of thirteen boxes of
candy without the usual "tummie'
ache results
Candy was the popular gift to the
girls at the exchange, the city fire
department alone furnishing nine
boxes, one for each of the opera
tors. Others came from various bus
mess firms who took this method of
expressing their appreciation of SER
vices rendered.
Christmas Day and New Years
day are all just "days" to the girls
at the exchange. Their business,
like Tennyson's Brook goes steadi-
ly on, but little rememberances re-
ceived by them on Christmas Day
will not be forgotten soon by the
girls who keep the business world a
moving.
Operators at the local exchange
are Misses Nellie Pangburn, Chief.

Centre kept the ball in their posses
sion through most of the game and
practically made their points when
ever the spirit moved them.
The visitors shifted players and
sent in new and fresh men at most
every stage of the game in hopes OF
stopping the continual rush Of the
Machine Gunners, but the boys We're
at their best and Brainard had little
or no opportunity to score.
Members of the visiting team last
Friday recommended to Manager
French that he secure a game with
the Y. M. c., A., team of Brainard,
which, they say "is fast organiza-
ton and match for the fast Sank
Centre squad" The matter is now
under advisement..
The snappiest and scrappiest bas-
ket ball game of the season was
pulled off at the Sank Centre Ar
mory last evening when the local
Machine Gunners met the American
Legion team of Fergus Falls. Meth
er team had any advantage on the
floor as the locals have done all their
practicing on the Junior High audi
forum floor,
The game started with bang and
the visitors shot a difficult basket in
the first 80 seconds of play. Sank
Cenrte came back strong and forged
ahead closing the first half with a
comfortable lead of % to 8. With
the opening of the second half and
change of baskets, the visitors lit
orally played the locals off their feet
scoring with a rapidity which nearly
gave the large audience heart fail
ure. The locals steadied in the lat
ter part of the game finally coping
the contest with 20 to % score.

Midday Club. Those who participated
IN the function, which was given by
Maurice Cascnave, head Of the French
High Commission, said that it was
purely social in nature, and that the
French loan was not dis
cussed. Bankers with whom NJ Par

any definite agreement had ye! been
reached. However, bona men reiterate
