MAX HERsETH To
BE SWIM COACH.
U. OF MINI. COACH ACCEPTS
POSITION AT THE LOCAL
HIGH SCHOOL.

That the local high school pupils
will get a good start IN swimming
was assured when Max NJ. Herseth
who was assistant track and swim
ming coach at the state university
was appointed instructor and assist
ant track and gym coach at the high
school by the board of education.
He comes here to assume his duties
in the fall.
His appointment was secured by
w. E. Englund, Superintendent of
Schools, who upon the Recommended
ton of Coach E. T. E.ickley inter-
viewed him. Several range schools
had made attractive offers in an at
tempt to acquire his services.
Minnesota has turned out several
championship swimming teams and
Herseth was directly connected with
this years team. He will be a
great aid in establishing track and
swimming as major sports. The lat
ter sport is made possible through
the construction Of pool IN the
Memorial High School but he viii
have to face the difficulty Of mold
ing team from green material.
Herseth is an excellent athlete of
noted repute being a sterling skater
and trackman. Here is what the
Minnesota Daily has to say of him
when Herseth leaves, the de-
partment of athletics is losing an
exceedingly versatile coach. In ad-
dition to his eapability as a swim
ming and track coach, he has had
great deal of experience in row.
ing, hockey and skating. He holds
several European records for speed
skating, and was a member of the
crew that participated in the last
Olympic games. Herseth came here
last December to take the place of
Mr.. Glidden, whose death left a
vacancy on the swimming staff.
Since that time he has done admir-
able work, not only as a swim
ming instructor and coach, but has
assisted in training other varsity
athletes"

VISITORS BUNCH
BLOWS AND WIN.
HIBBING RETAINS LEADERSHIP
BY BEATING ELY TWICE
5-4 AND 81.

Unable to shake off the jinx which
is always present when the locals
play Hibbing or Marble Ely was
humbled twice by the fast-stepping
players from the Richest Village.
Inability to hit in pinches lost the
Saturday game 5-4 and .Hibbing had
the Sunday contest well in hand 81.
Eight games have been dropped TO
the two leading teams with nary a
victory. The split season would be
welcomed warmly by the local club.
When Dwight Booth hoisted the
ball over the fence In the third in
ming of Saturdays game with Shan
ley on base he was directly respons-
rble for the two runs that won the
game. From then on GianottI
frightened down and yielded only
one hit for the last SIX rounds; a
performance that should have been
capped with win, singularly wasn't.
Outside of the first and third in
nings Gianotti labored creditably al
lowing only one free pass which
was converted into run. He Inn
tied the invaders to quota of eight
safetias. But the Shanleyites had
finishing punch in their repertoire
whereas the locals couldn't supply
the knockout punch with six singles
and four doubles.
Ely was in a position to score in
each Of the first four and sixth in
nings but ingloriously struck out or
made easy outs Only scanty
crowd was in the stand to plead for
the locals to deliver in one of the
best games of the year. They re-
ceived thrills aplenty and when Ely
crept up to within one run of tie
ing the count in the seventh and
eighth their lust for baseball was
at its highest but the disappointing
feature was that the locals lost.
Morayitz folded at short in fault
less style taking eight chances with

Hibbing got two runs over the
plate before Ely knew what it was
about. Ursella walked, was sacri-
feed to second and scored when
Stanley lined out double. Shan
ley raced over the plate on d.
Booths single The visitors made
the rest of the runs in the third.
Fautsch slammed out two Dagger
and got to third when H. Chinn
fumbled the ball. Stanley again
delivered with an opportune blow
sending Fautsch home. Then ID.
Booth sraacked out his four Dagger.
Ely sent the spirits of the fans
soaring when they rallied in the
seventh. Hoefer opened with a
single and 81. Chinn beat out bunt.
Jesmer walloped a two Dagger which
scored Hoefier and sent Chinn to
third from where he scored on Ma

Jesmer to canter home. Two sue

SPORT PROJECTS
BEING DEVELOPED.
TENNIS, TRACK AND FOOTBALL
GROUNDS BEING MADE
BY SCHOOL

An outdoor track which will en-
circle the new football field and
three tennis courts are under con-
struction.
A temporary court TO be located
beside the Industrial School will be
laid out this week. More care and
preparation will be exercised in the
building of the two permanent
courts. The purpose of the forma-
ton of the temporary plot Is TO
ill the large demand upon the use
of the Community Center court.
This court has heretofore been the
only one in the city and consequent
" has been inadequate to meet the
requirements of the large number
of racket wielders who have attempt
ed to gain access to it.
The cinder track when completed
will be one of the best on the range
and boasts of a 220 yard straight-a-
way. This is in keeping with the
plan of Coach E. T. Buckley to
establish track as a major sport at
the local high school next spring.
It is doubted whether the new foot
ball field will be ready for the
opening of the local high school
season with Virginia Sept. 81. If
this will be the case the game will
be played on the old field.
The playground is enjoying
large daily attendance engaged in
various beneficial pastimes which
are under the supervision of Mr..
Buckley. Several organized teams
engage in kitten and hard bail
games on certain scheduled times.

AUTO TAXES co TO
SPREAD GOOD ROADS.

Putting motor vehicle tax mo- ey
on the trunk highways without de-
lays to give road users earliest bene-
fits possible, Charles NJ. Babcock,
state highway commissioner, this
week made public apparent low bid
ders on % big improvements locat-
ed on many parts of the big 1000
mile system Of trunk routes. Awards
are tentative, he said, and subject
TO rechecks to make sure of best
proposals. Another list will be con-
tracted in about a month.
Although the contracts total about
81, 900, 200, engineers said prices
are low and pointed to the size and
importance of most of the improve
ments. The list showed totals OF
lao miles of grading aggregating
l 100000 yards of dirt; 80 miles OF
crawling totalling 100000 yards
10 bridges measuring 1900 ineal
feet, also widenings of bridges,
and 5.3 miles of paving between
Red Wing and Lake City on I. Il
No. 8.
There were from Is TO SO bids on
each job, including those by many
contractors from other states. The
latter said they were attracted by
the fair specifications prescribed by
the highway department. An un-
usual feature of the letting wa the
difference between the lowest bids
and the general run.
The 'pay-as-you-use" principle OF
highway financing governs these I'M
provements, highway officials said
inasmuch as the largest number are
county reimbursement bond pro.
jects. Only motor vehicle ta1
funds and federal aid are being
used, however, they explained. From
the first fund is being set aside
amounts necessary TO pay the
bonds will interest charges and the
sinking fund balance of S2,000,00(
now is drawing Az per cent inter
est. The result is to afford the
earlier use of highway improve
ments without additional expense.
