que race due to one Or two weak spots
in the lineup. blank" Sampson does
MT feel like remaining in the cellar
any longer than necessary so he took
the train for the cities Sunday night
to round up some ball players. Word
was received from him this morning
that he had arrived in Fargo with
three new pitchers, a short stop and
an outfelder. 1t is impossible to tell
just how good the new men are as
we have no information as to their
names or records and it will take sew
eral games to form an opinion OF
their abilities but it is possible that
the team will be strengthened some
what by the additions. The Hi-Liners
are playing in Fargo today for the
first game of three game SERIES No
announcement has been made as to
the battery for today but it is proba-
BILE that one of the new pitchers will
take the mound for the Hi-Liners.
There's one thing of which we are
sure and which the fans can bet on
and that is that the baseball manage
ment will strengthen the team in ev-
cry way possible that they may earn
a position in the first division this
season.

The baseball management has de-
cided that the old grandstand in the
ball park will not accommodate the
crowds that will attend the league
baseball games this summer and they
will build new one. The work is be-
ing started today and the new stand
will be ready for use when the Hi
Liners return home for the game the
10Th with Aberdeen. Three sections
of the right field bleachers are to be
torn out and the old stand moved
into that place. The new stand will
be erected ten feet closer to home
plate and will be 80 feet in length.
There will be two ticket windows and
two gates to the ball park so that
the crowds may be handled faster
than formerly. The officials box will
be placed in a more convenient place
in the new stand. This will be val
liable addition to the ball park and
one that has been badly needed for
some time. When the work is COM
pleted Valley City will have as good a
park as any city on the circuit and the
is to be congratulated
on their efforts in this direction.

HI-LlNERS WIN
AT WAHPET0N

With Charley Boardman in the box
for the Hi-Liners the locals won their
second game this season from the
Observation-Disclosures Twins by 9
to a score. Mason, of the Twins, was
responsible for the scores for the home
team, making a home run with one
man on the bases and a triple with
two men on. Mason seems to be the
real hitter for the Wahpeton-Brecken-
ridge Twins as practically all of the
scores they have gotten this season
have been the result Of his long drives
Yesterdays game seem to have been
a free hitting game as both teams
succeeded in getting II hits. Errors
were scarce, the locals having only
two chalked up against them while
the Twins received a count of four.

Two Men Caught In Ditch And Five
Men Who Attempted Rescue Are
Dead. Two Others Near Death.

Milwaukee, Wis, May 24-While
trying to save two workers caught in
a ditch today five men are dead and
two others near death. The rescue
squad Of the fire department was call
ed after three men had gone down the
shaft and did not return. Gas masks
used by the fire department seemed
to give them little protection and they
made little Roadway. 1t is believed
that two of the firenen met with
instant death. After fighting the gas
fumes they attempted to get the bod
les of the workers from a high ten
sion electric wire. Construction offic-
ials believe that the fumes are due to
the failure of the pumps to function
during the night. After the men had
gone down the shaft and did NO. re-
turn some Of the workers calleu Cne
fire department rescue squad and they
went down the shaft. Two of the fire
men did not return and more went to
the rescue and finally succeeded in
bringing the bodies to the surface.
They were rushed to the emergency
hospital and five were pronounced
dead on their entrance and the other
two are not expected to live ..

Interstate Commerce Commission Did
Not Wait For Voluntary Reduc-
ton But Ordered 10 Percent Re-
duction At Once.

Washington, May PA sweeping
reduction in freight rates throughout
the country was ordered today by the
United States commerce commission.
The reduction will be effective July l..
The reduction cuts the present rates
10 percent in the decision of the COM
mission. The commission wired the
carriers to notify it by May 31st as
to whether rate reduction prescribed
will be carried into effect without a
formal order by the commission. The
commission also declared that railroad
rates in. the future will be on a basis
of 5 3-4 percent on the aggregate val
ue of the Lines. The reduction will
bring the returns below that provided
by the Escln- Cumnins law recently
expired. In making the reductions the
commission cut nearly in half the
freight rate increases authorized Au-
gust 25th, 1920. In the western dis
tricts 40 percent cut of those author,
lied August rs, 1920; the eastern pro-
vides for a, IS percent cut of the IN
creases. The announcement Of the re-
duction came as surprise as it was
expected that government efforts to
reach voluntary agreement with the
railroad executives in the hopes of
getting a greater rate reduction would
be effective at once. The commission
declared that the cut today on freight
rates would not decrease the earnings
Of the railroad below the 5 3-4 percent
level as agreed by the commission.
