From Main street In Wichita
Falls. Texas, to State street Chicago
is quite leap as baseball goes. but
Alex Metzler appears to have ne
gotiated it successfully.
Which Is just another way of
saying that the Lone Star rookie
from Wichita Falls has made good

Not only is Metzler one Of the
few recruits Of this year to deliver

the most difficult roles In baseball.
taking the place of Johnny Mostil,
generally regarded as the greatest
outfielder in baseball.
AS has been the case with many
of the present day stars. Metzler
was unearthed by Connie Mack. A
batting average we'll over the 300
mark in the fast-going Texas league
caused Mack scouts to recommend
his immediate purchase.
Joining the Athletics late last fall,
Metzler managed to break into 20
games as a pinch hitter or regular.
While showing promise, his batting
average Of .242 was quite dsap-
pointing. since an ability to hit was
one OF the things the scouts stressed
in boosting Neither

chant. making five regular out
fielders.
When Metzler reported to the
Athletics this spring it was apparent
there was little or no chance for
him to break into the lineup. No
! f1rst-year rookie could be expected
to pit his ability against such an
array of outstanding stars. 1t looked
like year on the bench, or possibly
a trip back to the minors for Metzler
for further seasoning.
| Then came the Mostil tragedy
which provided the break for Metz
ler, giving him his big opportunity,
a real chance to stick in the majors.
Hard pressed for outfelders, due
to Mostils detection, Manager Ray
scvhalk Of the Chicago White Sox
made a hurried canvas of the prob
able surplus talent on the different
American league clubs. 1t didn't
seem probable that Metzler would
be carried by Mack and Immediate
negotiations were entered into for
MS services. The White SoS finally
secured him shortly after the OPEN

OBITUARY

Levi Curran Reed was born in
Lakeville, Dakota Co., Mimi,
April II, 1853, and departed this
life, Oct. 80, 1927. He was de-
scended from a long line Of south
ern planters or plantation owners
of West Moreland County, Virgin
ia, and the Carolinas.
On his mothers side he was
connected with the old southern
families of York, Swift and Hag-
gard. His great grandfather, Da-
vii Reed served in the Continental
Army in the capacity of matros or
gunner, during the entire Revolu-
tionary war. David Reed assisted
in the siege of Yorktown and was
present at the surrender of Corn
wallis. -
The father and mother Of Levi
Curran Reed, Willis Boone Reed
and Martha Lee Swift Reed were
born and married in Kentucky.
They moved from Adair County,
Kentucky to Warick County, Ind,
in 1850 Immediately after their
uldTTldSe. here IllciT Ll1Icc tIucot
children, Basset Houston, Mary
Ellura and David Walker were
born. In 1856 they migrated to
Minnesota-three years before it
became a state. They located at
Lakeville, Dakota County, Mimi,
where Willis Leslie, Levi Curran,
Aurelia Alice, Martha Luena and
Irennus Ward Reed were born.
At this time the Civil War was
in progress and in 1868, the father
Willis Boone Reed was drafted to
fight against the South. His
brothers, sisters, relatives and
the friends of his youth, were still
in the sunny south, and while he
theoretically held with the North,
he could not take up arms against
his loved ones, so he sold one
third of his beautiful farm in
Lakeville, Minnesota, and with the
proceeds hired a substitute who

carts shall have the protection af-

On account Of the unusual
amount of sickness in the COM
munity, the Board of Education
has deemed it advisable to post
pone the commencement of the
next term of the Sank Centre
School, and has extended the va
cation one month. The term will
commence on the first Monday in
February.
Last week Mr.. Webb, in Doug
las county, had man arrested for
cutting timber on his land, and af-
forwards settled with him, receiv-
ing $50 as damages, whereupon
the man turned upon Mr.. Webb
and made complaint against him
for accepting the compromise at
ter having caused the arrest in the
name of the State. A number of
other parties who have cut timber
on the same land are supposed to
be in league with the person ar
rested, and Mr.. Webb proposes to
pursue different course with
them from now on.
The Minnesota Stage Company
made their last trip on the route
between Melrose and Alexandra

Excerpts from the Herald Of
20 Years AFRO

Monday night was "open night
at the Knights of Phythias lodge
The ladies were there and the eve.
ming passed pleasantly at cards.
Light refreshments were served. .
Bishop Morrison filled the pulpit
at the Episcopal church last Sum
day, both morning and evening, de-
livering two strong discourses. AT
the morning service holy commun-
ion was administered. The bishop
has in view several men as pros
pective rectors Of the church to fill
the vacancy caused by the removal
of Rev. F. NJ. Garland to North
field. It is hoped to fill the vacan-
cy soon.
Mayor Ward, enroute to Ward
Springs on his motorcycle, dis
puted the right of way with q curly
dog three miles east of town and
both mayor and canine came out
ahead-of the wheel. Now the
Mayor will go three blocks out OF
his way to avoid meeting dog.
The dog said all he had to say
when the wheel struck him; ne
takes to tall timber when one OF
those things comes along now.
Thanksgiving Day in Sank Cen
tire passed quietly. There were
numerous family reunions, and
some visitors from outside spent the
day with relatives or friends. The
day was clear and pleasant but
cold enough to make out door life
agreeable. The boys and girls had
a fine time of it on the lake, where
the skating was excellent. The
surface Of the lake was covered
with skaters most of the day, and
among them was quite q sprink-
ling Of grownups. The firemen's
ball at the opera house in the eve
ming was center Of attraction.
The attendance was the largest in
the history Of the balls given by
that organization. Some forty
couples were on the floor at time
when the square dances were call
ed. The music was excellent, be-
ing furnished by the Allen orches-
ira. Supper was served at the
Waldorf restaurant.
There's bound to be a treat at
the opera house tomorrow night,
Dec. 6, when the "Was She to
Blame" company appears. Advance
notices give the company a fine
recommendation. You cannot af-
ford to miss it.
If the person who broke into the
basement of the Advent church
last. Thursday night and helped
himself to wood and oil, wishes to
reclaim the nice kid mitten he so
,thoughtlessly left in his rush to
get away, he may do so by calling
at our house, and if he repeats his
visit we will not be so careful
about concealing his name. Watch
