over the company's lines, obtaining
personal knowledge Of crop conditions.
The trip, which is an annual affair,
Just prior to the opening of harvest
activities, extended as far west as
Outlook, Mont. Frequent stops were
made, and samples of growing grain
were picked up at all points visited.
Farmers have every reason to feel
optimistic, Mr.. Jaffray said, on his
return. "All growing grains appear
to be in excellent condition The only
danger faced at present is that too
much rain may fall in the northern
part of North Dakota. Heavy local
storms also would be disastrous"
Mr.. Jaffray said but little evidence
of rust was found, and that there was
little danger from that source.

marked the first loss within the
aeague, for the league leaders in this
years playing. They suffered one
other defeat, when the Pine City
team trimmed them July 4th.
The Askov boys outplayed their
opponents last Sunday in virtually
every phase of the game, and incl
dentally, made a number of sensa-
tional plays.
Werner Johnson on second. scooled
up a fast one throwing to Jens Hyl-
dahl at first, thus accounting for two
outs in a hurry. Johnson is one of
the youngsters of the team. Gus
Thompson knocked down hot liner
at short with one hand, whipped the
ball to first, and threw out the run
ner.
A big hand was given Carl Jensen
in center field, when he made a long.
running catch of a high fly.
Another .youngster,' Leonard
Frahs, who played in right field,
made a good accounting of himself.
He's got the right stuff in him and
undoubtedly will "show 'em plenty"
an another year or so.
AS a matter of fact, every man
on the Askov team played real base
ball, swapping into it from the open
ing gong and continuing throughout
the game.
Willow River defeated Sandstone IA
to 10, Hinckley clipped Bruno 9 to 2,
and the Beroun-Groningen Bass Lake
game ended in favor of Groningen-

PROTESTS OF THREE
GAMES ARE, DECIDED

Protests of three games played dur
ing the 1928 season in the Pine Coun-
ty Baseball league. were heard at a
meeting of club directors held Tues
day night at Sandstone.
The games protested were the Bru-
no-Beroun game played July 80, in
which Beroun won. Bruno protested
the outcome, out the appeal board de-
cided unanimously that not sufficient
reason was shown for the reversal
or alteration of the final decision.
GrOningen Wins.
In the Groningen-BaSS Lake-BerOun
game, played last Sunday, and which
was ended in the ninth inning with
the score to 4, when Groningen-Bass
Lake protested the score and refused
to continue to play, the board ruled in
favor of Groningen-Bass Lake. The
boards decision was that, 1.-The UNI
pire-in-chief erred in awarding the
game in question to IBeroun on a for
fixture, as it was proved beyond a
question of doubt that the score was
4 to in favor of Groningen-Bass
Lake when the third man was put
out in the ninth inning"
The other game protested was the
Groningen-Bass Lake-Hinckley con-
test, played July goth. The appeal
board found:
Scored illegally.
"Hinckley scored illegally when
time was automatically called, by
reason of arguments and outside play
ers entering the diamond, and that no
accurate score was kept of the game"
Because of that, the board decided
that the game was misplaced and that
it has no standing in the pennant
series. The appeal board further de-
cided that if the clubs affected by the
decision become cOntenders for first
place in the pennant series, and the
unplayed game would have some eff
feet on the standing of either club,
that the game will be played off on
the Sandstone baseball diamond with
;umpires and regulations arranged by
the league.
In view of the boards decision, one
win for Hinckley is stricken, and one
loss for Groningen-Bass Lake, also is
stricken.
Directors not participating in pro-
tests decided the cases by ballots.
A large number of fans and players
attended the Sandstone meeting, which
took the form of a regular business
session. A. M. Simonsen, v. Jensen,
and E. Clegg represented Askov.
James Brennan, president of the
Minnesota State Leagues and manager
of the Pine City club in the Eastern
Minnesota league, attended the meet
ing.

the President. The farmers will
not forget that when the test
comes, Senator Curtis preferred
to stand by the President than
by the farmers. They may now
be expected to cast their votes
for candidates who will stand by
them through thick and thin, and
not for mere ''fair weather"
friends.
Attempts are being made to
picture the Hoover-Curtis as a
harmony ticket, but if there is
good feeling between the two
candidates, it is Of very recent
growth. Prior to the nomination
of Secretary Hoover, Senator
Curtis declared that to nominate
the former would be for the Re-
publican Party to offer candi-
date who would place and keep
the party on the defensive until
election day. On the night fol-
lowing Secrtary Hoover's nomina-
ton, but before Senator Curtis
was nominated for Vice-Presi-
dent, the lated was bitter in his
resentment. In a statement is
sued at Kansas City, he made it
clear he did not. feel Hoover's
nomination was one of which the
party might be proud. He went
so far as to say that if some of
the Eastern Republicans at the
convention had chad a, little more
backbone, we might have had a
ticket that the whole party would
have been proud of" -
