The game was dandy with first one
team in the lead and then the other.
Snider the new Ely first baseman look
ed like an old timer at first and han
died everything that came his way
with ease. He is fast man on the
bases, also. Nothing in the first in
ming for either team. Rosevear for
Hibbing reached first on an error, went
to third on single by Smith, and
scored when Grillo was thrown out at
first. Nothing doing in the third for
either team. In the fourth RoSevear
reached first again on an error, stole
second and scored on a single by Grillo.
Ely came back in their half of the
fourth when Ayala and Moravitz each
singled. Both advanced on Lindbecks
inf1eld out and scored on Hoeder's
double to right. Hoef1er was thrown
out at the plate when Niemi singled
to center. In the fifth Ely went into
the lead when Snider, Ely's new first
baseman, doubled to the right-center
fence. He scored on E. Starkman's
single to center, just beating the throw
to the plate by inches. In the eighth
Hibbing took the lead when Ayotte and
Rosevear singled after one was out.
Smith, next man UP was over anxious
and struck out, Both men scored
when Grillos grounder was picked up
and thrown wide at first. Ely tied the
score at four all when Morayitz singled
and Lindbeck drew base on balls
Hoefler bunted down first and the two
runners advanced, Hoefler being
thrown out first. Moravitz scored on
Niemi's infield out. Both teams went
blank in the ninth. In the tenth
Smith drew base on balls, went to
second when Grillo's grounder, which
looked like the start of a double play
was thrown wide at second. Weston
hit another roller to the infield and
this was also thrown wide at second,
and Smith trotted home with what
proved to be the winning run. Gullis
hit a fly to Hoefler who caught it and
pegged to home getting Grillo at the

Conventions To
DRAW TOURISTS.

Within the coming month Min
nesota will entertain more than $4,000
persons coming here as delegates to
national conventions.
Many of these delegates will tour
the state and spend their summer
vacations here say officials of the Ten
Thousand Lakes Association.
During the week of June IL to Is
more than 5000 doctors from all parts
of the United States attended the
annual convention of the American
Medical Association. This week the
Rotary International convention is be-
ing held here with delegates from all
over the world. During the week July
to Minneapolis win be host to the
National Educational Association and
the American Dental Association will
meet there August 20 to "a.
Keen interest is being shown in the
conventions by the resort communities
of the state, some going as far as
placing exhibits in display windows
secured through the courtesy of the
Minneapolis Civic & Commerce As
sociation. Taking a lead in decorating
windows to place before the eyes of
delegates the advantages which Min
nesota has to offer, several state and
civic bodies co-operated last week in
arranging special displays in the
Roanoke Building, Minneapolis. Those
participating were the Ten Thousand
Lakes Association and Greater Min
nesota Association, the State Game
and Fish Department, the State Audi
tors office, the Forestry Department,
the Minneapolis Civic & Commerce
Association, Izank Walton League and
the Minneapolis Park Board These
exhibits show not only the recreation
al advantages of the state but also
hold forth information concerning
Minnesota as a place in which to live.
At other places downtown exhibits
were placed by the Minnesota Arrow
head Association and the Alexandria
Commercial club. 1t is expected that
many more Minnesota communities
will arrange display windows for the
National Educational ventio o n
which will take place the first week
in July.
That the National conventions be-
ing held in Minneapolis will result in
bringing many vacationists here is the
opinion of j. H. Mitchell, chairman of
the tourist and publicity committee
of the Minneapolis Civic & Commerce
Association. Mr.. Mitchell !. says that
so far this summer tourist registra-
tions at the Gateway Information bu-
reau operated by the Minneapolis Civic
g. Commerce Association are 80 per
cent greater than they were year
ago. Mr. Mitchell also predicts that
more than million tourists will pass
through the Twin Cities this year.
He bases his prediction on the results
of careful survey made by the Min
neapolis Civic & Commerce Associa-
ton last year which showed that $780,
600 tourists passed through the Twin
Cities in 1927.
Taking advantage of the possibilities
offered in the four large national con-
ventions being held in Minnesota this
year the Ten Thousand Lakes Associa-
ton has put forth special efforts to
induce the delegates to make arrange
ments to spend their vacations here
and see more of the state than the
convention city alone. AS result OF
this campaign it is believed that many
will visit the lakes and Fairgrounds
of the state and that all of Minnesota
will benefit.

From a navlgatory point of view

The fact that the Italia has

commend itself to technicians as
conclusive indication to those who
pin their faith rs l do on the
