MONSIGNOR'S
BODY WILL BE
BROUGHT TO N. D,

Grand Forks, Aug. 22.-Rev. John
Joseph O'Donovan, assistant at St.
MichaePs pro-cathedral, left Wednes-
day evening for Buffalo, N. Y, to ac-
company the remains OF Rt. Rev.
Monsignor Joseph A. Lemieux, pastor
of the St. Michael's church here,
back to this city for burial. The
Monsignor would have been 50 years
of age on Thursday Of next week. 1t
is not expected that the body can ar
rive here before Sunday or Monday.
Monsignor Lemieux died suddenly
from heart trouble in a Buffalo hos
pital Wednesday morning. He had
been affected with heart trouble for
number Of years and just prior
to his departure for the east, last
Sunday, he had bad heart attack.
During the last few years he spent
his winters in warmer climates in
an effort to secure relief.
He became pastor of st. Michael's
parish in this city in February, 1911,
and during the past IA years has
ministered to the affairs of the local
parish. During the 13 years prior
to his coming here, he was pastor
Of the Catholic cathedral at Fargo
and was instrumental in building the
present cathedral here. Prior to his
service at the cathedral, he was
pastor of the Catholic parish in Man
dan.

German Tourist
Tide POurS Into
Cheaper Countries

Berlin, Aug. 22.-No sooner had the
German government rescinded thu or
der by which German citizens who
desire to leave the country on plea
sure trips must pay tax of 500
gold marks, than the tourist bureaus
were again overrun with prospective
travellers. Denmark, Norway and
Sweden are the countries now prefer
red, while in spring Italy was the
mecca Of the Germans. Even Finland
has developed into "most favored
nation"
Germans who do not travel north
ward usually select Austria, Czecho-
slovakia and especially the Tyrol for
their holiday. The Tyrol is so
crowded with tourists that telegraph
ic inquiries for accommodations al
most invariably bring negative re-
ply.
The resembling of the 5OO-mark
clause has had a wholesome effect
upon prices in German bathing and
summer resorts. The proprietors;
now that they see their countrymen
hurrying to cheaper countries, have
suddenly become very humble. and
one sees many advertisements Of
rooms and lodging in attractive re-
sorts at virtually pre-war prices.

Billy Evans Says

This is big year for southpaws
in both major leagues.
There appears to be decided fall
ing off in the ability to hit left hand
ers in the last two or three years.
There doesn't seem to be any plau-
sible explanation for the situation.
1t just exists. One of those happen
ings that are part of baseball,
thereby lending to its uncertainty.
eff you can throw left-handed you
are almost certain to be winning
pitcher in the majors" is the way
Lefty" Leifeld, former star south
paw puts it.
Leifeld, now assisting Manager Lee
Foil at Boston, is anything but
egotistical, yet he bemoans the fate
that he wasn't born about 10 to ID
years later.
"Why. there are left handlers go
ing big in the majors this year who
wouldn't even be allowed to pitch to
the players in batting practice In
my day." continued Leifeld.

thing any more. II you can throw

the ball with your left hand, success
is almost assured"
The unusual success of veteran
and rookie sonthpaws this year has
been one of the extraordinary fea
lures of both ma ior league races.
The season of 1924 is Il south
paws year if the pitching records are
to be given any credence.
Rockies little figured, and veteran
southpaws doped as through, are GO
ing over big.
If the New York Yankees lose the
American League pennant this year,
it can largely be attributed to a
steady diet of southpaw pitching by
opposing clubs.
In the world series of 1921 Artie
Nehf of the New York Giants proved
that good sOuthpaw troubled the
Yankees.
Since then most American League
managers have been taking advantage
