Ben was among the first to reach the
injured mans side and carry him to
the bench, and offered 10 pay all his
expenses to Lacrosse for examination
and treatment. Nothing but sympathy
should be extended to Big Ben. He
had absolutely no intention of hitting
Sherm, and his pitching after the ac-
cident showed how completely he was
unnerved by it. Elsewhere in this is

4. Smith, who umpired the game. COM
pletely exonerating Big Ben from any
blame in the matter Mr.. Hastings
has a similar statement.
John Bann went in to run for Has
tings when the game was resumed.
and two more scores were registered
in that inning on singles by Williams
and Harris. An error, sacrifice and
two hits pushed two scores across for
Viroqua in the Sth inning.
Pet Morrison went in to pitch in
Hastings place, and finished in his
usual snappy manner. In fact, the
home folks have rarely seen the Viro-
qua team put up such an exhibition Of
ball. Every man got every chance that
came his way, only one error being
chalked up against US, and that was
hard one. Not a man walked on
either side. Williams of Ontario
caught beautiful game, getting a
foul on the edge of the crowd that was
heartbreaker. The score of 6 to 0
in our favor really does not indicate
the merit of the game. Viola had a
classy bunch of players with the ex-
ception of their third baseman and
short stop, who were responsible for
the errors.
Big Ben struck out eight men and
was touched for eight hits Pat Gar

allowed three hits in six innings.
Pet struck out two and allowed one hit

CuARD MOIINT

Following the game, the Viroqua
band and the 10th Engineers put on
that interesting and snappy military
ceremony known as guard mount. It
was very interesting, and skillfully ex-
ecuted. Capt. Ray spellum acted as
reviewing officer, Capt Heinz as adju-
tant because of the sprained ankle
which Lieutenant John Bann sustained
in the ball gameD and the Guard in
command Of Lieutenant Ivan Wood,
and Sergeants John l.. Wood, Ernest
Stout and Bud Pulver, and Blair Sher-
rick acting as drum major of the band.
The crowd then returned to town,
where the evening was most pleasant
liz enjoyed between the pavement
dance, the fire works and the Temple
Theatre, and refreshment stands and
restaurants. The crowd went home
feeling that in all respects they had
received several times their moneys
worth.

THE FINANCIAL END

Surely no one will begrudRe the Lee
gion boys the, modest profit they made
out of the celebration. They worked
like tigers, and spent money lavishly
to entertain the crowds, and the cell
ebration expense Will run close to $4,-
900. Total receipts were a little over.
$4,000. The Censor wishes everyone
TO understand that none Of the Legion
affairs are for the profit of the indi-
yidual members. Every cent Of profit
is laid aside in the form Of an interest
bearing certificate until such time as
they feel sufficient money has been
raised TO warrant their beginning con-
struction Of Legion Building, and
the boys should be extended every as
sistanee possible TO the end that this
building may soon be a reality instead
of dream.
Sam Neprud, Andy Beat and Steen-
er Jacobson are TO be thanked for their
brilliant services as traffic cops at the
Main street intersections during the
parade. Their makeups amused the
crowd hugely.
The w. X. &. are to be thanked for
their courtesy in paying admission
and grand stand fees and furnishing
dinner for all G. A. r. veterans and
wives of veterans who are members Of
