one OF THEBEST
OF SEASONS GAMES
St. Cloud and Local High Boys To
Clash on Local Floor Friday
Z. NJ Evening :

One of the best basket ball games
of the 1922 season is the prospect for
Friday evening on the local High
School gym floor when the St. Cloud
quint will battle the locals in the sec
ond game played with each other. St.,
Cloud defeated Willmar at st. Cloud
l6 to IL in very close game. The To-
calls are expected to triumph this time
and even the score with the Stearns
County boys. .55,.
The st. Cloud five is strong quint
this year having: won all games play
ed. She won from Willmar on fouls
IN the first game. The locals have
practlced studiously during the past
vacation days and after their showing
against Howard Lake they have ex-
,cellent chances to turn the tables on
Friday evening. -.
The game will open at eight o'clock.
Admission prices are 35 and 20 cents.
The st. Cloud Times says this about
the coming engagement:
Friday evening. the Techs will face
tough foe at Willmar. st. Cloud won
from the Kandiyohi county boys in a
game played on the Tech floor, but
the contest was close and the result in
doubt until the final whistle. Even
though defeated, the Willmar team led
the home five thruout the major por.
ton OF the time Of play. On it's own
floor, with its own roofing brigade, and
the added incentive of wiping out a
defeat, Willmar will prove a danger.
Gus opponent for the Techs To date
the st. Cloud highs have maintained
clean slate, but the record will be
endangered Friday night" 4,. .s

cry of Message.

cry of Message.
Washington, Aug. 20.-Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, expressed the
opinion today that President Hard
ing had added to the difficulties of
the present industrial situation by
his message of yesterday and like
wise had chosen an unfortunate
time for its delivery.
The labor chief, in a critical dis
cussion of the presidents mes
sage announced that his organization
would oppose any legislation carry
ing out the suggestions that the
railroad labor board be given power
to enforce its decisions or to allow
the federal government to punish
crimes against aliens such as those
alleged to have been committed
during the Herrin, ILL.,, massacre,
while he described the presidents
proposals for legislation to control
coal distribution as probably i'm
practical"

Greenwood and Abbeville split a
double-header Friday, the game be-
ing on the local diamond. Abbeville
took the first game by the score OF
6 to 1 while the other game went
to Greenwood by the score Of 3 to 2.
Ethridge started the first game for
Greenwood but he didn't stay in
there long for Abbeville made two
runs off his delivery before Boyd
relieved him retiring the side. Boyd
pitched a good game for Greenwood
but used too much style.
Allen pitched both games for Alb
beville and pitched fine ball, Green
wood getting only twelve hits in
both games, five in the first and sew
en- in the second. He kept the hits
well scattered in both games. Errors
by the inield lost the second game
for Abbeville.
Andrews pitched the second game
for Greenwood, pitching himself out
of several bad holes.
Abbeville came mighty neal win
ming the second game in the ninth
inning, when with one out Reames
and Erwin each singled. Agnew
struck out. Brownlee then hit for
B. Galloway, hitting the longest ball
that has ever been knocked on the
diamond, but he could not run and
made only a triple out of it. Milan
hitting for Scoggins went out on
strikes.
Abbeville plays Greenwood at
Greenwood this afternoon and to-
morrow afternoon. The last game of
the season here will be played Wed
nesday with Anderson.

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 3l.--Pro-
pagandists for the railroads have
painted a beautiful mirage in the
Great American Desert, a vision Of
deserted transcontinental trains that
gave President Harding an excuse
for weeping and wailing IN his ad-
dress TO Congress. He said:
Deserted transcontinental trains
in the desert regions Of the South
west have revealed the cruelty and
contempt for Law on the part Of some
railway employees, who have con-
spired 10 paralyze transportation"
The facts are that the crews in
charge, having completed their runs,
turned over the trains at the termin-
ais 10 the new crews. who refused TO
operate them until the defective loco
motives were repaired. Many Of the
passengers also refused TO risk their
lives when they knew the facts.
The United States has established
laws which make il a crime to operate
locomotives that are defective. The
President has said that these laws
must be enforced; the standards SET
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion must be maintained. The train
crews at Needles and other terminals
were law-abiding citizens. The rail.
roads wanted them to violate the law
When they refuse, why are the!
