Halloween Franks,

Misplacing a few signs and
overturning a few small out-build-
ings catalogues the bulk of the
mischief the youngsters INDUCED
in ON Halloween evening. Of
course windows received their
quota of soapings, but it was just
at the time when plate glass
fronts usually receive their dress
up before cold weather sets in.
Several parties were in progress
Wednesday evening at homes in
the village as is usually custom
airy on Halloween night.

CLINTONVILLE BEATEN
First Basket Ball Game Re-
suits in Eagle River Win
ming Easily "a to z.

The first basket ball game of
the season was played last Friday
night between the Clintonville
and the local High School teams.
The game was interesting thruout
because of the frequent snappy
playing by individual players on
each side. Belongy was the main
performer for the locals with Nor
gan second, and Shorty" on the
Clintonville side also entertained
the crowd considerably.
There was a general lack of
team work on both sides because
neither had received sufficient
practice this early in the season.
Both teams were handicapped on
account of new men" being used
for the first time; Clintonville was
probably more handicapped than
Eagle in this way as they had only
one of the "old guard" while
Eagle has two left. At any rate
the game showed tn at both
schools will have good fast teams
before the season is very far ad-
vanced. The final score was "a to
z in favor of Eagle River. The
defensive work done by the local
guards, Bent and Morgan, deserves
commentator an d looks very
promising for the future. This
also accounts for the low score
received by Clintonville.
A dance was held after the
game and large number stayed
to participate. The Sophomore
class furnished a lunch after the
game, which was successful in
financial way as they made about
$500 clear money. The receipts
of the evening for the games
amounted to $500. This splen-
did turnout will put the associa-
ton on a sound financial footing
SO that smaller admittance fees
will be charged for future games.

FREIGHT WRECKED CAR
Ford Coupe Caught on En-
CINE Pilot Saves Life of
Driver in Three Lakes Ac-
cident.

Attempting to cross the G. &
N. w. tracks at Three Lakes Mon
day afternoon without using the
necessary precaution, almost cost
the life of Phil LeMay, agent for
the Wadhams Oil Company. AS it
was, LeMay missed death by a
hair and had the scare Of his life.
LeMay was on his way to Rhine
lander in his Ford coupe late in
the afternoon, and when he swung
west off of Highway 80 on the
county trunk line running west
across the track, the setting sun
caught him. square in the eyes,
binding him to a certain extent.
A car just ahead had stopped be-
fore crossing the railroad tracks
in order to- allow the afternoon
freight passage way. The Ford
driver swung around the car and
when on the tracks was caught
squarely by the freight engine
which had applied its brakes in
order to stop, possibly going not
more than fifteen miles an hour.
When the engine struck, the inn
pact broke all four wheels of the
coupe, allowing it to slide bodily
on the rails ahead Of the engine
for a distance Of probably twenty
feet. Striking a cross walk the
coupe was thrust sidewise off the
track into the ditch right side up.
LeMay was sitting at the wheel
when ditched, and bore not a
scratch, although his car was a
twisted wreck; the only thing left
intact was the engine.

KNOCKS DEER IN DITCH
Speeding Auto Ran in Herd
of Deer on Bent's Highway
Near State Line.

Speeding along at the rate of
thirty miles an hour and hitting
a deer, knocking it clear of the
highway and not internally injur-
ing it, is "going some even for
this northern section of the state
where impossible things are made
possible sometimes.
C. A. Bent, who owns a resort
eleven miles west of State Line,
while speeding along at a rate of
thirty or better the other evening,
saw from the rays of the auto
lights, about a half dozen deer
some distance ahead in the high
way. Before he got near them, all
jumped into the woods along the
highway, and Mr.. Bent supposed
the incident was closed. But it
was not. A buck deer, coming
from nowhere apparently, jumped
in front of the car but a few
feet and was struck. He was seen
to land in the ditch alongside the
highway fiat ON his back with his
legs IN the air. Stopping as soon
as was safe and backing UP to
the spot where the deer was last
seen, the intention of Mr.. Bent
was to load in the carcass and
take it home where he would no

There was no need of all that

bunch or so of hair, there were
no evidences of any injury to the
deer from it's collision with
Studebaker car.

There is argument that we are

do not believe that this argument
holds water. True, we are located
in country where its principal
resource has been timber, but
there are factories in Merrill that
have lumber shipped from the
western coast. The shoe factory
does not buy its leather locally

YANKS' STRING CUT

NEW YORK. May 25.-For the first

of the base ball world is concentrated

All season Connie Mack's Athletics

yesterday they got it personally from
10000 Philadelphians who filled the
park to see them defeat the New York
Yankees, l to 0.
The Athletics victory was also
beneficial to Cleveland, which open

easy victory. 6 to l, and gained on
Detroit. which bowed before Chicago.

from a third place tie with Cleveland.
BY defeating Boston. to 1, Wash
ington got into position for edging
into the first division should the
Tigers flop again.
While the Yanks were ending their
winning streak of nine games the
New York Giants were extending
their commanding hold on first place
in the National by beating the Phil
adelphia Quakcrs. 8 to 2. Catcher
Frank Snyder got his first home run
of the year in addition to a triple and
accounted for five runs.

When Babe hit one he got pot full
of red paint and they let him splash
himself. Maybe people are waiting to
see Cy beat Babe. But If Ruth had been
humping the ball this year as modest
been singing "glory hallelujah" in
jazz time on Broadway.
Perhaps when Williams gets out
west he will slow down as he won't
have the short Philadelphia fences to
when he has his own fence to swat
them over at the Yank Stadium.
Williams Deserves Credit.
These speculations. however. do not
for one instance eliminate the fact
that Cy Williams to date has busted
the best record ever made for fancy
home runs. He deserves a little red
paint or a blue ribbon or at least
the amber lights for his excellent
work. Perhaps If the Phillies were
leaders instead of tailenders he would
get more boosts.
Coincident with the end of the
western pilgrimage to the east, there
bobbed up rumor in Brooklyn that
there might be a change in the man
agement OF the Cincinnati Club. This
rumor has emerged before, but it got
hit on the head after Pat Moran
had piloted the Reds into second
place last season. The present rumor
Is that Moran will be supplanted
by Jake Daubert.
1t is undeniable that the work of
the Reds has been very unsatisfac-
tory to their principal owner. Louis
Widrig. Garry Hermann is presi-
dent of the club but Widrig took
over the Fleischmann stock and has

Understand permission has been
