Baseball's Prize
Bonehead Plays

When a batter hits a drive on
which he is able to make the cir
cult. ana is credited with only a
single, some one has erred.
When a batter hits the ball over
the fence, which, according to the
rules of baseball, entities him to q
home run, and he draws only a
single in the box score, charge UP a
"ooot" to some one.
The major league records contain
two such happenings. One of them
Is charged against the American
League. the other against the Ma
tional.
When such a thing happens con-
fusion must arise between the bats
man and another base runner. 1. is
questionable who should really be
charged with the bone"
Years ago in a game at Washing
ton, Harry Niles. then with the Bos-
ton Grub. hit a long fly to right held.
Their was a runner on first at the
time.
The runner on first was of the
opinion hat the ball would be
caught. he played it safe by merely
going half way to second, thus pre-
venting a possible play il the ball
was shared.
Niles a positive the ball
wouldn't be caught. He tore around
stRs~oases at full speed and passed
the runner originally on first, mid
way between first and second.
That act of course automatically
retired Niles. yet he continued on
his way to the plate and by a great
slide beat the return throw. He be-
lleyed he had made a home run, vet
in reality it was only a single.
Recently in a game at Philadel-
phia. Toporcer OF the st. Louis Car
dinals was sent up as pinch hitter.
There was a runner on first at the
time. He drove the ball over the
right field fence. The runner on
first being in doubt only went half
way to second. Toporcer passed
him. Here was a drive that entitled
him to a home run. yet by his act
in passing a preceding runner he
nulilied the homer to which he was
entitled. merely receiving credit for
q single.

'RY DOCKS YIN 7TLE--AMB0Ys TO Play TOMORROW
maurer Team IS Anxious
For Game With Amboys

Manager Urbanski of the Maurei
baseball team, in a letter to the
sporting editor, tells of the desire
of members of his team to get a
game with the Perth Amboy outfit.
The Maurers last Sunday afternoon
played the Speedways. another local
team, as a preliminary to the Bloom
neld-Amboy game. The Maurer
team won after a close and exciting
game.
After taking in consideration the
number of defeats the Amboys have
suffered this year and the number
of victories which the Maurer com
bination has piled up. Manager Ur-
banski feels his team is entitled to
! a game. The letter of the Maure"
manager follows:
July 20, 1922.
Dear Sporting Editor

meet the Amboys.

winner to play Amboy, and nov that

BY BILLY EVANS

The National League rave appears
to have simmered down to. a two
club affair, the New York Giants
and the st. Louis Cardinals.
These two clubs outclass the field.
One or the other Is almost certain
to represent the National League in
the world series.
II the st. Louis Cardinals win the
pennant it will be a great tribute
to the managerial ability of Branch
Hickey.
Unquestionably the Cardinals pre-
sent one of the most unusual collec-
ton of players that ever commended
for a major league pennant.
Old Battle
The battle between the Giants
and the Cardinals down the home
stretch will offer a most unusual sit
uation. The Giants are one of the
highest priced a~ggregations in the
history of the game. the Cardinals
one of the cheapest.
1t cost Manager McGraw Of the
New York club a pretty penny to
gather together his world cham
pions. 1t cost Manager Hickey of
st. Louis little or nothing to build
UP lIS SdIuiiidio.
1t is a peculiar outfit, the st. Louis
Cardinals. Some Of the players who
are now starring were pronounced
as through years ago. Not a player
on the club was purchased at a
fancy price. Hickey either resur-
rected them from the minors or
pulled a trade with some major
league club in which money seldom
figured on either side.
Notable Players
On the st. Louis Cardinals are four
former American League players,
Catcher Ainsmith, Shortstop Lavan,
Fiet Baseman Fourier and Utility
Man Gamer.
FORMER played with the White
Sox and the New York Yankees.
Lavan was with the st. Louis
Browns and Washington. Ainsmith
gained fame as the battery partner
of Walter Johnson at Washington.
Later he was sent to Detroit.
Gamer started with Detroit and fin-
ished with Boston.
American League club owners fig
ured these four players as through
several years ago. No trouble was
experienced in waving them out of
the league. All four are playing
bang-up baseball in the National.

The Amboy players are not dis
couraged over the way in which
their games have been turning out
recently. Last Sunday the new line
up came within an ace of proving
successful, one run being all that
separated them from the crack
Bloomfields. A game with the ORR

given their manager and the fans q

MASS MEETING CALLED
FOR JULY 23RD
Project on Foot to Secure Public
Park on Lake
Koronis

Another mass meeting concerning
the proposed community park will be
held on the south shore of Lake Kor-
onis not far from "Big Sandy" on Sun
day afternoon, July 23d, at o'clock.
1t will be remembered that a previous
meeting was held some time ago at
which everybody unanimously appro-
we'd of the proposed project. At the
open discussion which was made at
the first meeting a committee was
chosen for the purpose of selecting a
desirable park site.
The committee, we gladly announce,
has secured an option for thirty days,
on what perhaps is the most beauti-
full park site to be found anywhere ar
ound Lake Koronis. Now everybody
interested, or concerned in the least,
should make it a point to attend this
meeting because things of vital i'm
pOrtance are to be discussed and more
over by seeing the proposed park site
yourself, one is able to give his frank
opinion regarding the establishment
of park. So everyone should do his
best as an enterprising citizen by COM
ing out next Sunday and boosting for
a permanent Community Park. Re-
freshments.

LARS ARNES0N'S
USEFUL LIFE OVER
Pioneer Of Dovre Township Pas.e.
Away After a Very Brief
Illness

Another of the old sturdy pioneer
characters of Dovre township, Lars
Arneson, has passed on beyond. A
man of strong mind and public spir-
tied he helped shape the community
affairs for many years. He died on his
old homestead on north shore of Long
Lake, the home now owned by his son,
Jalmer Larson, with whom the de-
ceased has made his home, on last
Wednesday, July -. Stricken with
heart failure two days before while in
the barn, he fell and injured himself
somewhat. The injury received, how
ever, was not the cause Of death, but
the heart affection with which he was
stricken. He had attained the age of
rs years, 10 months and days.
The funeral occurred last Saturday
afternoon Services we're held at the
Long Lake church. The pastor, Rev.
A. NJ. Lunde, was assisted by Rev. NJ.
Silseth of Litchfield. A duet was sung
by Mrs. and Miss Silseth, and solos
by Misses Alma Bratberg and Flor
ence Nelson. The remains were borne
to their last resting place by Messrs.
Lauritz Baklund, O. o. Rykken, julius
Peterson, Chris. Oveson, P. Stulen
and G. Hendrickson. The attendance
at the funeral was among the largest
ever seen in these parts, attesting to

the esteem in which the departed has
been held in the community. There
was a profusion of beautiful floral tri-
butes.

with his bride, whose maiden name
was Ola Sagholt, to America to seek

located in Dane county, Wisconsin,
but the following year they came to
Eagle Lake in this county to the home
of Lars Backlund, who was an uncle
of Mr.. Arneson. In 1858 they located
on the-homestead which since has
been the home. Mrs. Arneson died Is
years ago. Three sons were born to
them. They are Jalmar Larson, on
the home place. Arne Larson of New
London, and Ole A. Larson of Paler-
mo, n. D. Other mourners are a bro.
Their, John Arneson Of Green Lake;
and two sisters, Mrs. Ole Doe of Nor
way Lake and Mrs. Mathilda Swenson
of Lake Andrew There are fifteen
grandchildren and eight great grand
children, and many other relatives.
The deceased took an active part in
the development Of the community.
He has served as chairman of the
town board and as assessor. He was
one of the organizers of School Dist.
No. 70, of which he served as clerk
many years. He was one of the organ
izers and the first president of the
Dovre & Mamre Fire Insurance Co.,
an institution which has now grown
to large proportions. He was an active
member of the Long Lake Lutheran
church for forty years. Peace to the
memory of long and useful life!
