FINLAYSON GOES Up
To FIRST PLACE
CONTINUED from Page -
Ask0y 12Willow River ..

The Askov boys were deter
mined to win on their home
grounds Sunday against Willow
River thus having the honor Of
bringing this strong team down
from their percentage Of 1000.
and they turned the trick. The
boys from Willow. however. were
about as eager to win and it was
therefore a holly contested game
throughout. The Willow River
team was slightly crippled in
that their regular catcher.
Thompson. was out of the game
with a damaged finger received
in the game the previous Sun
day. However Lundgren caught
a good game. doing credit to
both himself and the team. Won
Schenk had a sprained leg. also
acquired the Sunday before. but
nevertheless went into the pit
cher's box and did the heaving
for FIVE innings. He was taken
out at the end Of the fifth in
ming after the Askov boys had
got to hitting him pretty hard.
In spite Of his limping Won
Schenk played a good game all
around. doing good batting and
also good fielding on third base.
One feature Of the game was
the excellent pitching by Askov's
star pitcher. j. Hyldahl.. who had
IL Willow Riverites whiff the
air trying to hit his slants. He
walked but 2 and struck / with
pitched ball. In the second in
ming Hyldahl made it one. two.
three outs by the strike-out
route.
| H. Sherrick made an inassist-
ed double play in the eighth i'm
ming when a line drive was bat
ted to him and the runner on
second had naturally started for
third. This saved two runs.
Willow River has a very good
player in Sexton. their regular
second baseman. who had 4 put
outs and assist i'm Sundays
game. Askov has been streng-
thened' considerable recently by
the addition Of Eastman at
short where he plays a fast and
heady game, besides being strong
with the willow.

Finlayson defeated kerrlck at
the latter place in a game that
ran into many scores. A feature
Of the game was the heavy bat

base hits being chalked up to
their credit. BY winning this
Sunday and Willow River ksing
Finlayson is now at the top OF
the ladder. A correct count OF

MI Mtu& tANts - INV" tVx'
One Of the big men Of China
today is Mr.. HI Hung Ming. who
graduated from the University
Of Chicago quarter Of century
ago.
Mr.. Ming his written a piece
in English for the North China
Standard" about America in
which he says:
''lf the United States were
destroyed tomorrow. ! want
to ask what great spiritual
thing have the Americans a.
q nation done which they
can leave behind them to
show to men Of generations
that they were once a nation
with a civilization. In my
opinion, the only spiritual
asset Of the American ma
ton. the only really spiritual
things which the Americans
~ . nation have done that.
IL they. as a nation were de-
stroyed tomorrow. will be
remembered by men of after
generations is the work of
Poe's 'ANNABEL LEE and
the music Of the plantation
sngs."
Mr.. Ming qualities this with
the remark that we are really
young yet NJ a nation aged leS
than $50 years. which is no time
at all compared with the age oil
the Chinese nation. Then, too
he recognizes that we. have been
busy taking over millions Of i'm
migrants which must be assimi
lated. Anyway. it is interesting
to sensible folks to read what
the worlds oldest civilization
thinks Of the youngest.
Most Of US know one or more
Of the plantation melodies Bro
Their Ming speaks Of. but. by the
way. how MANY Of ms know An
MABEL LEE?" Or ever hearc
Of it? Even il you have read o,
it. perhaps you would like I,
read il again. Here il is:
