Moorehead Wins District Title

Moorehead Wins District Title
Tuesday evening at Alexandra,
Moorhead High School team defeat
ed the Fergus Falls team by the very
close score of to 8.
Fergus Falls lead all the way and
not until the last two minutes of play
did Moorhead appear to find itself.
The first half ended to 0 with Fer
gus on the long end. The third quar-
ter ended with Fergus still in the
lead, to 1.
The game was played on the very
slippery floor at Alexandra. Because
of the unfortunate condition of the
floor both teams were handicapped.
The Moorhead team is tall and rangy
and found it very difficult to execute
any of it's much talked of team work.
Grinoger of Fergus Falls, the long
shot artist who defeated Sank Centre,
found it impossible to make any long
ones in the Moorhead game. Every
time he attempted a shot his feet
would slip and the ball feel way short
of the goal. However, Fergus should
have won the contest. They outplay-
ed Moorhead and deserved to win.
1t is the belief of the writer that
Sank Centre would have, defeated
either of thes two teams. Our team is
built close to the ground, giving big
advantage on a slippery court. Then
too, the combination short pass and
bounce pass of the local basketeers
would have worked aginst the four
and one defense of either of the two
teams.
George Lynch Of st. Cloud Teach
ers' College, refereed. He allowed
the game to get little rough. But.
as whole, the contest was clean and
hotly contested.
This victory gives Moorhead the
right to represent this district in the
state tournament to be held at the
Kenwood Armory, Minneapolis March
19-2O-21. Last year Moorhead was
eliminated by Wadena and Wadena
represented the district. Moorhead
has not championship calibre team
and they will not get very far in the
state title race.

Send Flowers to Fit
Your Friends Illness

London.-Lf you say it with flowers
to friend in the hospital don't say
the same thing every time, is the sub
stance Of the advice given by Charles
III. Dyke Of the Royal Historical So
ciety to his friends. Different ailments
require different posies, is his sugges-
ton. '"Try to discover what your
friend is suffering FROM" he says.
"For infiammatory cases never take
red blooms. Take blue flowers. If the
patient is sick at time when an or
binary flower cannot be obtained a
square Of blue silk would relieve burn
ing head pains like a tonic. For neu-
rasthenic and nerve complaints use
red flowers"

The contract, signed by an

Fergus Defeats Alex in Final


Fergus Defeats Alex in Final
The final was played Saturday
morning. A fair sized crowd saw
Fergus Falls give Alexandria a severe
drubbing. The Alex team went all
to pieces while the Fergus team dis
played a brilliant type of teamwork.
Their passing was perfect; the shoot
ing was accurate; they played clean
snappy game. Fergus Falls can
come to Sank Centre at any time it
chooses to do so because we admire
their type of ball playing.
By winning this game Fergus Falls
had the honor of representing this
half of the district. Moorehead won
the other half and the final champ
ionship contest was played at Alex
andria on Tuesday evening.
The summary of the Alex-Fergus
Fallc oanoa is aS follows.

POUNDED INTO A STAR
Sam Rice Started as Pitcher; Knocked
Out, He Became Crack 0utfielder.

Washington. ID. C.. March 15.-
Sam Rice, star outfielder of the Wash
irgton Club. came TO the Nationals as
pitcher. Rice was highlytouted but
had trouble getting away TO a good
start, largely because he was handi-
capped by lack Of control.
For some time he managed to stag
ger along with mediocre success. Tie
began TO lose confidence in his abii-
ity as O pitcher. and the Washing
ton Club began to entertain the same
feelings.
Rice, very fast and a good hitter,
managed to break into the lineup sew
eral times as a pinch hitter. When
not pitching Rice practiced in the out
field and developed rapidly.
Often some minor happening shapes
the career of a player. A three-base
hit by George Dauss, veteran pitcher
of the Detroit Club. caused Rice 20
give IN his desire to be a great
pitcher.
Dauss. never e hitter, broke up al
extra-inning game for Rice by bis
triple. Coming into the clubhouse that
evening Rice told the world he would
never pitch another ball game. RE
made good what was then merely re-
garded as n threat.
The passing of an ordinary pitcher
gave Washington a great Outfielder.

CHICAGO POLO PARTY
OF II WILL ARRIVE
HERE SUNDAY NIGHT
Fiue Players Included in
North Shore Club Visit
to San Antonio.

Five representative playing mem.
bers of the North Shore Hunt and
Polo Club of Chicago will be in a
party Of fourteen Chicagoans who will
arrive at 9:45 Sunday evening for
the purpose of playing a round robin
of winter polo here with the San An
toniC Polo Club and Eighth Corps
Area Headquarters teams. They arc
here at the invitation of the Second
Division polo team and Earl and Carl
Crawford Of Detroit.
Reservations have been made for
fourteen at the Gunter Hotel where
the visitors will stay during the weeks
visit here. The players who are ex-
pected are Walter Barger, l.. d. Hem
man, DR.. o. Z. Kopp, Herbert Lor.
Der and II. ]. Doran.
Walter Barger, of the party, is one
of the best riders in the club. He
probably will play at No. 2 on the
team. L. ID. Herman. traffic super
intendent of The Fair in Chicago, is
an alternate at No. with DR.. Kopp.
Herbert Lorber is known as one of
the hardest knock-in artists in Mid
West polo. He plays at No. 3 posi-
ton. Mr.. Doran is not as actively in
terested in the game as some of the
other members of the party but is a
polo enthusiast.
1t is expected also that d. f. Grady,
man prominent in Chicago business
circles, will be in the party, which also
numbers relatives and friends of the
players.
+. B. Pearson, now registered at the
Gunter Hotel, is member of the
Spur and Saddle Polo Club of Chicago
but it is likely that he will play here
at No. l for the North Shore Club Of
which he is also member. Mr..
Pearson deals extensively in real es-
tate and has a township in Florida.
He recently has been in Miami, where
he has been playing polo.
The visit of the Chicago club is
being made as a result of the efforts
Of Lieut.. John A. Smith Jr., of the
Second Division and the Crawford
brothers from Detroit, who have been
playing here all winter. A recent
visit here by John Mcintosh of Chi
cago resulted in his urging the team
to make a visit to San Antonio.
No game will be played until Tues
day. The visitors will be given a
chance to drive the ball around bit
first. The Second Division team will
be disrupted by maneuvers and it is
likely that an all-star army team. per-
haps the Eighth Corps Area Head
quarters team. and the San Antonio
Polo Club, will participate in the
round robin with the visitors.
No definite schedule of games has
been arranged.
The visit of the Chicago team is
likely to be a forerunner of annual
pilgrimages of northern teams to San
Antonio.

Many flapper is going to look at
Simon Rosenthal this summer and sigh
wistfully. Now don't get us wrong |;
81 isn't candidate for the job Of club
sheik Dob Couchman has priority
rights on that). The signing flapper
simply will be wishing she had nice
pink complexion like Sis. But those
rosy cheeks-the cheeks and the name
make it obvious his nickname is going
to be "Rosy"-can't be bought at the
drugstore. So has had 'em for all of
his u years. They may fade little
in the hot Texas sun, but reports have
it Old Sol is none too kindly in sum-
mertime to Boston, where Rosenthal
was born and where he started his
professional baseball career with the
Red Sox in 1922, or to Hartford
Conn, where he went in midse1son
that year. or to Albany, n. Y, where
he started last season, or either TO
Pittsfield, Mass, where he wound up
The 1928 Eastern League season in a
burst of glory and stood off TO admire
a years batting average of .33S.
Rosenthal is a single young man of
40 pounds with the button on his
baseball cap five feet ten inches from
the ground. Those are his measure
ments in prime condition, as he re-
ported to Bob Coleman after winter
around Boston of ice skating and to-
bCgganing and the good old Swedish
sport of ski-jumping.
A sketch of 81 would be incomplete
without brief dissertation ON the
swing he takes at the ball. Hitting
ia his long suit; all the advance no
t.rco advertise the fact. He parks him
self at the plate to take a lefr-handed
cut at the ball, and cut he does. If
he used a sword instead of a wooden
stick, he'd divide Mr.. Spaldins's best
products like sliced oranges. When
he misses, he whirls-not ungrace:rlly
like a man hearing his name called
by bootlegger. When he connects,
golly!
