FAST GLENCOE TEAM
TROUNCES REDWOOD

Continued from first page)
Redwood Falls team met the Spring
field team in a practice game played
at Springfield. The count ended
$50 with the locals on the long end
Of the count. On Friday the locals
will play a practice game with the
Miiroy team in preparation to the
homecoming game when they will be
pitted against Montevideo on Novem-
Ger Bird.
Regarding the Montevideo game
which will introduce Home Coming to
Redwood Falls, the locals have not
defeated this team since 1915. In that
year the locals met and defeated
Montevideo by score of 1910. Not
only did they defeat Monte that year
but many other fast teams also. Fol-
lowing are the scores of 1915: r. F.
35, Sleepy Eye 0; R. F. 0, Bookings
7; R. F. 60, Mankato O; R. F. ",
Montevideo O; r. F. 40, Slayton o;
R. F. 8, Window IA; r. F. 10, Fari-
bault Z; R. F. %, Madison and r..
F. IL, St. Cloud O.
Since 1915 the locals have been able
to tie Montevideo one time, the other
games played have been in favor of
the Monte team. This year Monte
and Redwood Falls are evenly
matched, with neither team having
any decided advantage. The fact
that the teams are so evenly matched
and that this game is Home Coming
should draw a large throng of inter
ested fans.

SUMMERTIME
BY u. C. PEATTIE.

August is the end of family cares for
all our birds. Even the second broods
are fiedged and now, in the month
that to the flower lover means minis at
their most glorious, wild foxgloves in
the woods and daisies trooping across
meadows slanting down to cool creeks,
the bird world goes into its retreat.
Just where it goes Is hard to say, for
most birds have not yet left for the
South. They are here. could we but
see them, hidden away. One reason
for this may be the melting period.
There are no birds that do not mott.
1t Is a necessity imposed upon them,
and now they must put off their we'd
ding dress and go into the soberer dress
of the world of workaday.
But the true bird life of August will
be found by those who search the
marshes. There the swallows come in
little bands. growing in numbers, to
make their roosts in the reeds, and
red-winged blackbirds. too, and bobo-
links consort there before their depar-
ture in ravening bands that will de-
scend upon the rice fields of the Gulf
Coast.
The Baltimore oriole, for one, dis
appears so completely in August that
1t would seem he had left by the first
of August. And yet in 20 days or so
he reappears. clad in new plumage and
nearly in full song. He goes in his
good time lucky fellowD to tropic
places, and though August seems tropic
enough to us who stay here, we shall
all envy him, doubt not next De-
cember.
