Several Valley City baseball fans
plan on going to Fargo tomorrow to
witness the baseball game between the
Valley City team and the Fargo Ath-
letics. This will be the first time this
season that the Valley City team will
be seen in action in game, and sew
eral local fans are going down to see
the type of team that the city will
boast this this year. In the short
work outs that have been given the
team so far, they are said to be round
ing into excellent condition. and as the
Fargo game will undoubtedly be a
stiff one, it will prove an acid test for
the Valley City team.

The Oriska baseball team defeated
the Lucca team Sunday to the tune Of

the splendid eye that the Oriska team
displayed at the bat, and Johnson's
excellent pitching. The batteries for
Oriska were johnson and Gotta and for
Lucca, Probst and Knadle. The Oris-
ka team is said to be rounding into
fine. shape, and will perhaps rank
among the strongest teams in the
county, outside of Valley City, which
boasts an all salaried team, while
Oriska has only home players. =~

the Lidgerwood sextette, who won out
in the final contest. Lidgerwood has

years.
Valley City competed next in the
soprano solo event, the contestants be-

The next event was the contralto
solo event, Virginia Bailey being the
soloist. There were eight entries in
this event. Valley City was repre-
sented in, the finals, it's contestant

solos, but all were good and Valley
City won second place, represented
by Harley Wilds who was barely beat
en- by William O'Connor OF st.

uate in music the following year, but
she came out in the finals against
Evangeline Brunson Of Wahpeton and
won first place. ..-..-,. =,

by them. The Grand Forks orchestra:
which Valley City heard on their tour:
also took first place and the Forks
mention. They took first honors.
Many judges and musical crltlcs
spoke of the very fine selection, OF nlu
sic Valley City used. The selections
wisely chosen by Miss Chatburn, o va
lev City's capable musical Instructor:
were said to be the best at the con
test. Adeline Girard was the pleasing
accomnanist for all the numbers.
People from all over the state are
beginning to realize what very I'M,
nortant feature of school and muslcal
life this annual musical contest IS
There was a great change noticed inns
year, compared with the precedlng
years. The contest is not an amateur
affair any more. Many of the contest,
ante are artists and to win is lndeea
an honor to be coveted. 1t IS making
music a thing of such interest and a
paramount issue Of the day.
