PINE LEAGUE
i OPENS SEASON
Continued from Page y

serves recognition. Keep up the good
work that was started Sunday, the
fans will like it better and baseball
in the county will be patronized more
generally.
Just Sport.
A contest in baseball is for sport
it isn't life or death-and the thing
to be realized from it is fun and good
cheer. When a person gets too ex-
cited, be he player or fan and
wants to start an argument, kid"
him out of it and make him forget it.
If there are to be any arguments, let
the two umpires and the two man.
ayers do it, that will make for better
and cleaner baseball. The home
town fans naturally like to see their
team win, but an exceptionally good
play by anyone of the IS men deserves
applause by all and it makes for more
harmony and corporations spirit
that is we'll to foster and maintain.
AS stated, Willow River and Askov
did well Sunday, they pleased the
fans, and let the good work 80 on. The
league was organized to build up bet
ter baseball and a friendship, CO.
operation and neighborly spirit be-
tween the various communities.
Pitchers Do Well.
Peters of Willow, and Nielsen of
Askov, both pitched good heady base
ball Sunday. They are young fell
lows and corners. Peters allowed 10
hits while the Willow boys secured Z
hits off Nielsen. Nielsen did not have
quite as good control, allowing 5 men
to walk while Peters passed but 1,
but Nielsen struck out to Peters s.
Nielsen was also credited with four
assists, and one putout, while Peters
had two assists and 2 putouts.
Simonsen who has played ball with
the Askov team for about Is years and
is considered an old-timer as baseball
goes, is far from the retiring age it
appears, for he made a good clean
home run hit with man on base
a feature of the game. He also made
a two-bagger and to see him run
bases is interesting. He runs like
a deer. Thompson slammed out 2
two-baggers and single-the best
hitting average of the day. Tarnow-
ski also got double and Willows
good catcher, Whiting, got two hits.
A feature of the, game was catch by
Jensen in center field with two men
on bases and the third out in the
seventh inning. He made long run
and speared the ball.

NEAR EAST WORKER
APPRECIATES HELP

The following letter of appreciation
for aid rendered the needy i'm the Near
East by residents of this community,
was received recently by Mrs. A. Hen
riksen:
My dear Mrs. Henriksen:
Thank you very much for your kind
letter of March II and for the draft
enclosed, $22.76, which l am using in
the work in the camp as usual.
You are quite right, that l am no
longer a League commissioner, but
am continuing all my work in pri-
vate capacity, which, of course, in a
way adds to my difficulties. In an
other way, perhaps, it makes it little
easier. Many women and boys and
girls are still coming from the Mos
lens, and we have over one hundred
orphans in our care, and last, but not
least, we have the work in the camp,
tending for everything for the sick
people.
In this spring there is a drouth
which Immediately influences the
prices of wheat, and the great part of
the weavers are without employment.
We hardly know how to help all these
poor people, and we are so thankful
for everybody who will help US to
carry this awful burden. God bless
you!
In the summer l hope to get out a
detailed report of the work in the
camp; in the meantime I hope that
our friends at home will not be tired
of helping us.
Believe me ever,
Yours very sincerely,
KAREN JEPPE

MORA DROPS BASEBALL
CONTEST TO PINE CITY

Staging a batting rally in the
eighth and ninth innings, Pine City
defeated Mora in the opening game of
the Eastern Minnesota Baseball League
last Sunday by the score of to 2.
Mora broke away for two run lead
in the second inning and held this
until the eighth inning when the Pine
City team came through with three
runs and drove Cole, the Mora pitcher
from the box. Wygant was then sent
in but the Pine City batters seemed
to like his offerings as we'll as Coles,
and drove in three more runs in the
final inning. The battery for Pine
City consisted of McMann and Smith,
while Cole and Wygant did the pitch
ing for Mora with the veteran catch
err, Charles Handschu, on the receiv-
ing end.
The score by innings was as follows:
Mora 900 OO0-2
Pine City ----------000 900 033-6
Next Sunday Rush City comes to
Pine City to pit its strength against
the local team. This game promises
to be a close affair and undoubtedly
will draw large crowd of baseball
fans.
