FLANDREAU LOSES IN LAST OF NINTH
Brookings Breaks Deadlock in Last
Inning Of Yesterdays Game
and Wins to I.

A little pop fly by Smith and steal
by Conway in the last of the ninth
brought in the score that won the
game for Brookings yesterday after
noon against the fast organization
from Flandreau by score OF to /.
The score was tied at one apiece from
the third inning to the ninth, in a
game which was featured by careful
playing and anxious moments. This
game marks the second victory for
the Brookings team during the week.
Last Thursday the local boys won an
intensely interesting game from Gar
retson by a score of to s. In this
game the score seesawed one way
and the other keeping the large crowd
of spectators, who braved the heat of
the hottest day of summer, constantly
up on their toes in eager anticipation
of the outcome of the game.
Brookings opened up the game yes
terday in the first inning when Wieser
went safely across the plate after be-
ing assisted by nice hit by Conway.
The score stood l to 0 until the first
of the third when Styles, the Flan-
dreau second baseman brought in their
only run. Both sides then settled
down to alright baseball and it was
not until the sixth inning that there
was any sign of loosening up. Flan-
dreau first missed an opportunity to
score after getting two men on bases
and in the last half Of the same inning
Simmons of Brookings got around TO
the third sack and Wieser safe on
second, but neither were able to tally.
A break of luck in the last inning,
however, gave Brookings a chance to
break the deadlock and Conway, left
fielder for Brookings, made a steal
and got home on an overthrow TO
third
Smith and Walseth proved to be an
invincible battery for Brookings and
fully as good as any in this part of
the state. Smith kept the runners
hugging tight to their bases and Wal
seth with his lightning peg put q
definite fear into all those who tried
to steal second. What few hits the
visitors were able to get off Smith
were well scattered Flandreau's
twirler, Dotzenrod, pitched an exec.
lent game and allowed but very few
hits. The fielding on both sides was
good and errors were not numerous.
Earl Mitchell manager of the Brook
ings team, was we'll pleased with the
outcome of both Of the last two games
and announces that the Colored
Giants from Watertown will play here
Saturday afternoon. A game has been
scheduled with Dell Rapids for next
week to be played here. The game
last Sunday at Lake Campbell was
cancelled on account of the rain.

Upton FAILS To
CAPTURE TROPHY
AMERICAN YACHT RESOLUTE IS
WINNER OF DECISIVE RACE
OF THE SERIES
SHAMROCK " FINISHES MILE BEHIND
English Sportsman Disappointed In
Life Ambition Of over
- Twenty Years.

The Americas cup stays in America.
This was decided shortly before sun
down Tuesday when the American de-
fender Resolute captured the 1920 re-
gatta three to two by defeating Sir
Thomas Lpton's Shamrock Nv in the
final race. The defender outsailed the
challenger decisively boat for boat In
the last contest of a tempestuous
series, the closest and most hard
fought of the series.
Indeed the last half of the race was
a race of the defender against time,
on the wind, for the challenger was
about one mile astern when the Amer.
lean boat flashed over the line.
1t was thirty-mile windward, and
leeward race, started in light airs

creased. BY the time % miles had
been covered the defender was mile
and a half in the lead, racing back
and forth on her way to the finish
line. At one time toward the end she
was two miles ahead of Shamrock, but
the challenger came up to within
mile at the finish.
Sir Thomas Upton, owner Of the
Shamrock, has had an ambition for
21 years to lift Americas cup. He is
a true sportsman. After the final race
he said: II am very sorry, but the
best boat won. We all did our best,
skipper and designer and crew, and
we have been beaten fair and square.

shall re-challenge. / have no ex-

HEAR NEW PIPE ORGAN

A good sized crowd of citizens took
ing to hear the new pipe organ re-
Gently installed at State college as
gift of the alumni association. Prof
w A. Peterson, of the music Depart
ment of the college, arranged the re-
cital and played the organ. Miss
Grace Bennett Wynn, instructor in
voice, sang a number of solos with
organ accompaniment. This was Miss
Wynn's last public appearance before
a Brookings audience since she leaves
State college this summer Mrs How
ard Fulweiler also assisted in the re-
cital by playing selections on the vio-
lin The program began with three
pipe organ solos by Mr.. Peterson, all
of which were by American COM
posers. Miss Wynn then beautifully
sang three sacred solos. This was
followed by another song by Miss
Wynn accompanied by the pipe organ
and violin. Mr.. Peterson played three
operatic selections on the organ which
impressed his hearers with both the
beauty of the organ and the skill Of
the performer. Miss Wynn very gener.
ously favored the audience with few
more songs of a lighter variety but
equally difficult of execution and re-
ceived hearty applause. All those
present were unanimous in their ex-
pressions Of praise for the mammoth
new organ and the excellent playing
of Prof. Peterson. The loss of Miss
Wynn is felt keenly by the music low
ers of the city as we'll as by the col
lege faculty and students.

PROF|TEER|NG
CASES TO Be HEARD
Department of Justice viii
Press Charges at Fall
Terms of Courts.

The Department of Justice is plan
ming a concentrated drive in the fall
to clear dockets all over the country
iof the 1,499 indictments secured
against merchants in food, fuel and
wearing apparel for proffteering or
violating the Lever law in some other
way. The dockets of courts in nearly
every state in the Union are crowded
with these indictments, which have
been carried over from the spring
terms of court. No cases are pending
in the District.
Prohibition has caused a flood of
cases brought for violation of the
Volstead act. and these have tended
to crowd OUT to certain extent the
prof1teering indictments, hindering
their trial. Every influence will be
brought to bear by the Department of
Justice. it is understood. to bring
convictions on these indictments, and
publish the results broadcast in the
United States as warning to mer-
chants that no profiteering will be
tolerated in fall wearing apparel or
in coal.
Secured 1.499 Indictments.
1t became known yesterday that out of
a total number of arrests for profiteering
in fuel. wearing apparel and food, Of
1854. the department has secured in
dictments numbering 1899. Out of this
number only ISL sentences have been
imposed.
One reason for speeding up the trials
pending is that the departments bureau
of investigation will be seriously ham
pered in it's work through loss of SO
per cent in the appropriation allotted to
this work by the last Congress. This
shortage of funds, it was said, will re-
suit in the release OF approximately one
third of the special agents who are Sc
curing evidence used in obtaining in
dictments for violation of the Lever law.
While the department contemplates
a. vigorous and renewed campaign
against profteers. both through its
bureau of investigation and through the
fair price committee in the United
States. this work will be affected some-
what by the loss of funds.
Reduce Lower Positions.
A number of employees will have to
be dropped, it is stated. but the pres
ent policy is to begin the cutting
down from the lower positions, grad
tons of authority until sufficient
number of employees have been re-
leased to continue the work with
funds in hand.
There have been persistent rumors
for some time that Howard Figg. spe-
cial assistant to the Attorney General,
who is supervising the work Of the
fair price committees in the United
States, would resign. Mr.. Figg now
is on a months vacation, and his
separation from the government serv-
ice has been denied.
The department is now preparing to
prosecute in as many cases as possible
operators and dealers who have
profiteered in coal. A report by the
Federal Trade Commission, it was
said, covers the ground sufficiently in
the matter Of investigation. and the
departments activities will be directed
along the line of securing indictments
from the evidence gathered by the Fed
eral Trade Commission.

GERMAN MENACE NEVER
EQUALED NEW RED PERIL

In a statement from the National
Welfare Union. Maj. Stanley Wash
burn. war correspondent who was in
Russia turing the revolution. de-
clares that the menace of the Ger
man armies to the peace of the worl .
was never as great as sovietism 10
today.
With the call upon the State Depart
ment for declaration of moral sup
port before the world. and the red"
army continuing its drive into Po-
land. Mai Washburn says, it is time
the American people awoke to the
perils of sovietism. and adds:
"Preachment of unrest which
strives to set one class against the
other is pernicious menace to our
prosperity today. There has been let
loose on the world from that Pan
dorale box. soviet Russia. the most
unsettling philosophy which has ever
found a foothold in human thought
We have beaten in the war the con-
cept of materialism as a national as
piration. We are now facing in the
propaganda of soviet Russia fallacies
more unsettling: they are a greater
German army. In Russia there has
been released upon the world a sys-
tenn of thought which violates the
four cardinal princiles of an endur-
ing state.
States remain stable in the direct
ratio in which their spiritual and
moral life dominates the people of the
nation. The first step of the all Rus
sian congress of soviets in Petro-
grad was to strike at this principal
by forbidding the teaching of religion
in any school, public or private,
throughout soviet Russia. All
churches or ecclesiastical societies
were forbidden to hold or bequeath
property. All members of any church
or religious organization were dis
franchised.
"Our duty in this country is to in
terpret to the people that unsound
thinking in the final analysis repre-
sents death and poverty. We have
Russia as concrete demonstration
of this fact. Until these fallacies are
exploded and every man and woman
understands that the truth regarding
morals, economics and industry is the
salvation of the world We shall not
emerge from the critical period in
