BOXING EXHIBITION DREW
BIG APPREcIATIvE AUDIENCE

The boxing exhibition staged Sat
urday evening at the Memorial Gym
nasium by the Frank Lozar post of
the American Legion was attended
by large and appreciative audi
ence.
Owing to the last minute inability
of Tony Lckar to meet Handsome"
Pekha of Virginia, Jos. Krall was
substituted and he and Pekka put on
four three minute rounds of good
fast hitting and foot work. Krall
had the best of it for three rounds
while Pekka was given one round.
Lickar was suffering with strained
tendons of the legs and was unable
to meet Pekka as announced in last
weeks issue.
Steve Startz and "Kid Boots"
Chimzar furnished the preliminaries
for what was scheduled as the main
go. To many this was the main
event of the evening. These boys
are fast and can be depended on to
give the fans pleasant few
minutes.
Another preliminary bout had
been advertised between Joe Krall
and Paul Preblich but owing to the
substitution of Krall for Lickar, Joe
Barich had been pressed into service
for the go with Preblich4 Barich

A ringside announcement was
made to the effect that Lickar and
Pekka would meet later in the fall

month were discussed and methods
for their Examinations were brought
out recently and the entire attend
ance Joined in the discussion.
Accidents in the mining districts
are few and far between owing to
the policy of the companies operat-

given such encouragement to boys
and girls club work, and the premi-
ums for this purpose amount to $780,
011.5O this year. More than 1000
boys and girls will attend the fair
to demonstrate club work projects
at the fairs expense. The dairy,
speed, bee culture, fine arts md
woman's departments are given the
balance of prizes.
1t is the plan of the State Fair
this season to encourage the largest
entry of Minnesota products of all
kinds ever seen at the fair. The
competition of exhibitors from other
states has always been keener in the
livestock department than any other,
and the fair is making a special eff
fort to interest Minnesota breeders
in sending their best animals to the
coming show that the lions share
of premiums may not be won by out
side entrants.
The liberal prizes offered for all
kinds of exhibits insure such splen-
did displays and large attendance
that exhibitors from all parts of the
country are entering this year, and
record breaking shows are assured.

PAVING CONTRACTS
ON NO. l TO BE LET

Announcement was made by State
Highway Commissioner C. M. Bah
cock today, that bids will be received
August "a for fifteen miles Of grad
ing and paving on Trunk Highway
No. l in Chisago county. 1t is ex-
pected that the greater part of this
project can be completed this fall.
This will leave only fifteen mile
gap between the Twin Cities and
Duluth on which no paving contracts
have been let and it is expected that
bids will be asked later in the sea-
son for the final link in the pave
ment to the head of the lakes.
When plans were made for this
years construction, it was thought
that on account of the reduction in
the license rate on passenger cars,
there would not be sufficient funds
to permit starting work on this
thirty mile gap until 1927. In
creased registration and the fact
that a greater percentage of car
buyers are in the "B" class, how
ever, will bring the receipts from
auto licenses above the 1925 re-
ceiptS, and Mr.. Babcock now feels
justified in rushing the work to COM
pletion.
The work is divided into three

ELY VICTIM.
FIVE RUNS IN FIRST TWO IN
NINGS GIVES HOME TEAM
COMMANDING LEAD. BOUSKPS
SINGLE IN FIRST STANZA AC-
COUNTS FOR TWO MARKERS
SCORE TO 4.
(By Arnold Anderson.)

By taking advantage of the Wis
itors' mishaps in the first two in
nings, the local team cinched the
game for their first victory in three
years over International Falls. For
the past two seasons the border team
has been possessed of a mania for
defeating Ely when our hopes were
at the peak.
Last year Ely undoubtedly had
one of the best teams in Northern
Minnesota, but the Falls thrice de-
feated the locals and ground Ely
championship hopes into the dust.
The Falls team played over their
heads to do it, but they always
seemed to play above their ability
when battling the Ely team.
Last Sunday, however, the Falls
defense finally wobbled and Ely
jumped at the chance and scored
five runs to topple International
Falls from baseballs highest peak
in Northern Minnesota and Ely now
occupies this position.
Both Lefty" and Larry Cantin,
brother pitchers, were at their best,
Lefty" breezfng along in fine style
Larry settled down and did the same
after the disastrous first inning.
Lefty" had the edge in strike-outs,
mine Fails batters being made to
hit nothing but the air; Art Gordon,
Budreau and La Fontaine were the
visitors best strike-out men, each
getting two free tickets to the
bench. Lefty, however, allowed
seven hits as compared with the four
handed out by his brother, but he
kept the hits sufficiently well scatter
ed to insure the safety of the home
team.
international Falls fans were
given a chance to use their vocal
cords in the first inning when an
error and sacrifice hit gave their
team run. Ely, however, came
back strong in their half of the mi
tial stanza to score three runs on a
hit by Hoeffler. fielder's choice, a
wild pitch, and timely hit by
Bouski. Ely pushed across two
more runs in the second inning on
two bases on balls, a wild pitch and
a hit. The visitors got to Cantin
for two runs in the seventh inning
Whsn Larry Cantln singled and Toll
lers slugged out a three-bagger.
They scored again in the ninth when
Murphy made a double and Kalb
and Tollers singled. The rally was
cut short when Cantin whipped La
Fontaine for the final out.
Edmunds, the Ely catcher, showed
Iup best with the bat when he con-
nected for two of Ely's four hits.
Moravitz scintillated in the field
for the locals when he secured three
putouts and three assists without an
error.
The agile Murphy and the hefty
Tollers were the Falls luminaries at
bat; Murphy getting a double and
single while Tollers pounded out
a three-bagger and single.
Anthony of Virginia umpired the
game in an efficient manner and
though the Falls team plainly voiced
their opposition to some of his de-
cisions he showed the fans he knew
the baseball game and called play
as he saw it.

game will be called promptly at 3

the nine innings-in Ely's favor.
Brainerd Sunday.
Sunday afternoon at 2:3O sharp,
the Brainerd boys will step up to
bat in a game that promises much.
Brainerd has been "mopping up" in
their section of the state and this
process has extended down as far as
St. Cloud. The Guyana Range Toys
come out with the best of reputa-
tions and are scheduled to furnish
Ely fans with thrills galore.
Owing to the unfortunate occur
rance in the Proctor game whereby
Catcher Anthony was put out of
commission with a broken finger
Ely lost a valuable man from the
battle front. Anthony uses his head
as well as his hands in a game and
is a cool-headed general in the
pinches. However, veterans Ed
munds and Moravitz are capable of
checking any streak on the part of
the visitors that might develop.
Ely fans are being treated to big
league stuff in baseball this year and
are responding nobly with attend
ance records that shattered those of
previous years. Manager Madden
and his assistant, Lew SLENDER, are
furnishing outside teams of semi
pro caliber for the edifcation of the
Ely fans. After the games of to-
morrow and Sunday, an effort will
be made to get a date with the
Superior Cops recognized as the
strongest non-professional team in
the northwest.

Plaza Legislation Advanced.

A favorable report was ordered
Wednesday by the House committee
on public buildings and grounds on
a bill. already paased by the Senate,
providing for the acquisition OF land
in the Union Station Plaza, in com
pletion of a work undertaken some
years ago and suspended through mis-
understanding. Report is that there
was no difference OF opinion in the
committee regarding the proposition,
and thus it is to be expected that in
a short time the final enactment will
be effected and this work can be re-
sumed without further delay.
Consideration of cost should not be
permitted to block the full execution
OF the project to establish between
Union Station and the Capitol O wide
sweep of park which win open an
uninterrupted vista and join with the
Mall In harmony with the developed
park plans. Nor should considera.
tions with regard TO the maintenance
OF the so-called Government hotels,
now occupying part of the already
acquired land and in some part land
not yet acquired, be permitted to
check this work. These hotels are In
fact no longer needed. They were
erected tardily to relieve housing con.
gestion in Washington in war time.
The need for them was passing even
as they were completed. They have.
however, served good purpose and
should now be abandoned They are
unsightly, in fact decrepit, having
been constructed of flimsy materials,
and they should go promptly.
In this connection there is to be
borne in mind the plan for a new
alignment of highways related to the
general project Of the Memorial
Bridge. 1t has been proposed to es-
tablish q new street or boulevard
leading from the focal point of the
station into the Mall, somewhat west
of the Botanic Garden. This is of
importance in connection with the
long-contemplated plan to redo EN- the
south side of Pennsylvania avenue be-
tween Third street and Fifteenth
street. The new public buildings bill,
providing for Il series of constructions
over a period OF years, which, It is
expected, will soon become law, will
begin this work of Mall-Ayenue re-
,1x rtzhfa g1 he

ready owned by the Government
fronting on Fifteenth street until 1t

word-making.
Etymology is the real cure and no
new-fangled process Of research and
correction is necessary. The children
do not spell as we'll as they formerly
did because they are not taught the
roots of words, are not trained In
their construction and consequently
in large measure in their meanings.
Good spelling should not be rated as
an accomplishment. 1t should be view
ed as a necessity, for il the spelling be
poor the chances are that the under
standing of language is weak.
