While the base ball game
played at Askov Sunday between
Bruno and Askov was not the
best product of the great national
pastime that has been produced
on the local diamond it was
nevertheless interesting in more
than one way for the batting was
above average and the ball was
kept in motion. II was also a
very friendly contest with no rag
chewing. the latter in a large
measure due to the efficient UNI

was evident to the fans that the
umpire was impartial and was
doing good work in rendering
decisions--in fact his work was
easily on a par with the playing

menced to dispute the umpire's
decisions he was promptly
"booed" by the fans. The senti.
ment of fair umpiring spread and
soon players on both sides only
laughed at. any individual who
thought he wasn't given a fair
decision. Some batters dislike
having strikes called on them
especially the third one. and
after few protests in the early
part Of the game there was moi
another murmur Sunday. The
players found out that the,

Ed Olson who rarely misses /
ball in the field. had a day off q
he dropped two. Inasmuch a
Askov was way ahead it did no
cause much concern to the loca
fans but Eds friends rather en-
ioyed it because he was good ant
sore at himself.
While Bruno had many error,
lis to Askov's 7--they never
theless showed flashes--scor
one double play and Jimmie Cald
well made a spectacular one
handed catch. Jimmie said after
wards in a modest way that il
was an accident. He nevertheless
gets credit for the catch. The
Bruno team was a combination Of
Bruno and Kerrick players.

ty is to keep the issues Of the day
constantly before the people.
Complaint is made that the discus
sion of these important matters
is too short-lived for party sue

to unending repetition by the
principal candidates is equally
as deadly in its ultimate effect,

be kept at lively pace lest the
fearsome bugaboo-in Indifference
should crop out to plague the
