DOUBL EHEADER HERE SUNDAY
Cooley Making Desperate Effort To
Strengthen for Final Grind.

Manager Cooley is out to apply the
brakes to his slipping Solons. 1t is
going to be hard task considering
the fact that the clubs treasury is
sadly depleted, but If ball players can
be borrowed. stolen or purchased on
I. o. us. Cooley may turn the trick.
Anyway he is going to try.
The Topeka manager, who has been
home the past week on account of
sickness, left last night to join the
team in the south but took side
swing to get there in the hope of pick
ing up new infielder. If he has any
luck. it is barely possible that he will
continue his scouting expedition and
not join the team until it returns
home Saturday to open a series of
three games with SalinA.
Before leaving last night, Cooley an
nounced that two new pitchers would
join the club here Saturday or Sunday.
Fay Isle, a youngster who halls from
Stewartville, Mo, with a seasons rec
ord Of having won ninereen and lost
only two games in semi-profeSSiOnal
circles, will be here for a tryout Sat
Trday. The other hurler is a young
Ster by the name or Byrne, whom
Cooley has succeeded in coaXing to
the Scion camp on the recommends
ton of Z. c. Quigley. National league
umpire. Byrne stands six feet, three
inches tall, and with a little expert
ence should move into fast company,
Quigley said.
Just what these two additions can
do toward helping the club when ex-
periments may prove fatal, remains to
be seen. Cooley would like to pick up
another veteran hurler to relieve
Smith, Luschen and Pierce but it is
almost impossible to accomplish such
a thing without a wad of money which
Cooley hasn't got On account of a
bad shoulder, Pierce has been of lit
tie value to the club during the past
two weeks. and Mitchell is too wild.
Cody also needs another infielder
as Strohm is again on the hospital list
with bum leg. In order to complete
the line up, Strohm went into center
field yesterday, but for two days
Yendes has played around the second
stack. 1t is barely possible that two
new infield men will join the club as
soon as it returns home. Another out
fielder would also help the club.
Neville isn't going any too well and
it now looks if Joe Hahn would
not get to finish the season.
In the hope of collecting from
large crowd, Managers Cooley and
McCloskey have agreed that the Solons
and Salina will play a doubleheader
here Sunday, the first game to be
called at $3.50 o'clock. The teams will
play the first game of the short series
Saturday and Monday will be an off
day. Unless there is another record
breaking turnout at the doubleheader
Sunday, the Solons will have a hard
time finishing the season.

EVERY MEMBER OF
CHOIR REAL PRIMA
DONNA AND ARTIST

There are no "prima donnas" or
leading tenors'' in st. Olaf choir.
So modest are these young singers
from the little college town of
Mortified, Mimi. that the names
OF soloists do not appear on the
program. They are not taught that
they have glorious voices, but that
they must sing glorious music with
whole-hearted accuracy.
OF the 81 young college students
who make up the choir, very few
are registered in the music depart
ment. AS one girl remarked to a
reporter, following the Toledo re-
cital, 1T is Christensen and faith
that makes US sing"
Professor Christensen believes
that right singing is based on right
living and trains his choir accord
ingly. He is a rigid discipIinarian
and insists on absolute obedience
from the young people under his
direction.
st. Olaf choir, with Professor
Christensen directing, will be
heard at Augustana gymnasium
next Friday night.

work tomorrow, 50 that the years
harvest will be finished The ice
at this point is from IA to 16iinches
thick.
Three hundred tons of ice have
been cut by the government at the
Milan boat yards about mile and a

all the government will cut, as its
ice house is filled. The ice Is cut
