BASEBALL IS
WARMING UP.
ELY WILL HAVE A BALL TEAM
THIS SUMMER AND FROM THE
LINEUP so FAR ANNOUNCED
WILL BE A GOOD ONE.

Baseball is beginning to warm up
although the weather so far has not
done the same sufficiently to give the

batting eye to any great extent.
Every evening groups are on the
grounds which are being rapidly put
into shape and light practice is being
INDUCED in.
E. w. Hanson is high commissioner
of baseball in the city for the Range
League of which Judge Edward Free

manager; D. L. Childers secretary and
treasurer and Archie BONNER and w.
E. Trezona with the other officers
named comprising the board of di-
rectors
1t is expected to run the club on
the home talent basis. Enough men
are at hand to make up good team
and only a pitcher is needed. Fred
Anthony has signif1ed his willingness
to act as catcher again this year.
Manager Madden is trying to get a
hurler to help out Starkman. Those
who have turned out to practice sa far
are Hoefler, Bouska, Moravitz, Chinn,
B. Lindbeck, Alfalfa, and the Stark
man brothers.

MINNESOTA MOTOR
DEATHS INCREASE.
PERCENTAGE LOWER THAN IN
OTHER STATES, BUT MORE
SAFETY WORK is URGED CON-
SISTENT ENFORCEMENT OF
TRAFFIC LAWS URGED.

There were 1862 deaths in Minnesota
in 1927 due to automobile accidents, ac-
cording to a summary of vital Stats
tics recently given out by the State
Board of Health This is more than in
any previous year and more than ten
per cent greater than in 1926. The
highest number in any previous year
was 361, in 1924. The number dropped
to $50 in 1925 and 1913 in 1926.
These figures do not include deaths
in grade crossings accidents, of which
there were "a in 1925, 90 in 1926 and 81
in 1927.
1t is only when we compare the
deaths to the number of cars that we
get some slight hope. There were 70
deaths for every 100000 cars regis
tered in Minnesota in 1924, 63 in 1925,
So in 1926 and SIS in 1927. This is
considerably better than the average
for the nation. as there were 81 fatal
ties for every 10000 cars registered
in the United States in 1927, 95 in 1926
and 100 in 1925 and in 1924.
Even though we did not have as
many motor fatalities as some other
states, in proportion to the number of
cars, the situation nevertheless calls
for the serious attention of public
officials, parents, teachers and all
public spirited citizens" says G. M
Babcock commissioner of highways
can analysis of accidents made by
the American Road Builders associa-
ton shows that motorists were princi-
pally to blame in Al per cent of the
fatalities, and in one third of these
cases the accident was due to mat
tention. Forty three per cent of the
deaths were due principally to the
pedestrian, and one third of these
were caused by children playing in the
streets or crossing in violation of traf-
fic rules, while more than a fourth
were due to adult jay-walking. Only
thirteen per cent of all accidents were
aScribed to physical conditions, such
as fog, snow, skidding, road defects, or
defects in the machine.
IF we are to have reduction in the
number of accidents there must be
consistent and not sporadic enforce
ment of traffic laws But to effect a
real decrease in accidents, every driver
and every pedestrian must be continu-
ally on the alert. Newspapers, parents
and teachers can do no more useful
service than conducting continuous
safety campaigns, calling attention not
only to the need of obeying traffic
regulations but to the imperative
necessity of being cautious ct all times,
both when driving and when walking. -

Following closely on the shock oc-
casioned here when JOS. Barich, Frank

ed in White Iron week ago Sunday
while on fishing trip, came the
news Tuesday morning that Wilfred
L. Doig and j. Leigh Booth, who had
passed through the city Sunday had
been drowned in Slate Lake near
Camp on the Ely-Finland road.
The men had left Virginia in their
car Sunday for day at the lakes
near this city Attached to the car was
a trailer upon which was a canoe
equipped with an cupboard motor. They
were to return to Virginia that even
ing. When they failed to show up,
Art Mattson, brother in-law of MIR.
Booth drove to this city and in comp
any with Roy Baxtrum started a
search for them. AS the men did not
indicate at what lake they intended
to fish, considerable time was spent
in trying to locate them.
The search was rewarded when their
car was found parked near old Camp

or in the widening of Stoney River
in what is known as Slate Lake, the
canoe was found with the engine end
sunk and the other sticking out of the
water. Near the canoe the body OF
Doig was located only few inches
under the surface, life vest having
