Shires' Latest Socks
Spell End With Sox

CHICAGO, September il CP.-
Charles Arthur (The 0reat) Shires,
the White Sox flrst baseman, prob
ably has taken his last sock as q
Sox. Manager Lena Blackburne in
dicated at Philadelphia today that
he Is all fed up on being on the
receiving end Of the Great shires'
punches.
Shires was suspended last night
for violation Of training rules and
after he and Blackburne had en-
gagged In fisticuffs. Lou Barbour,
club secretary, who sought to be
peacemaker, came out with cut lip.
Blackburn, according to dis
patches from Philadelphia, where
the Eox are playing the Athletics,
sought to reprimand the self-desig-
mated great one for breaking train
ing rules. Action started forthwith.
Manager Blackburn indicated that
Shires would be ordered home at
once, There was q feeling among
base ball writer's with the club that
this renewal of bellicosity meant
strike three for Shires rs White
Sox player. 1t was his third sus-
pension this season and the second
time he and Blackburne had faced
each other with their fists doubled.

CUBS ARE DELUGED
!. BY TICKET SEEKERS
Applicants Resort to Odd

Get Series Seats.

H1CAGO, September II. =
Rhymes and jingles, pathetic
pleas and personal notes &C
~ companying applications for
world series tickets are not q
bit of help to the applicant-but they
do help to brighten the labors of the
Cub office force.
Any letter of application opened and
found TO be in proper order viii be
filed. Thousands Of envelopes viii not
be opened and the attached literary
or art offerings never will be seen.
Fifty girls, divided into two shifts,
today were far behind the 100000 appli-
cations received during the first two
days of sale Of seats for the Cub
Philadelphia world title battle, and in
dications were that they never would
catch up. More applications were ar
irving at the rate Of five deliveries q
day, along with hundreds Of special
delivery and registered letters.
Despite the feverish rush, there was
time for showing around samples Of
what the fans believed would help them
to obtain seats.
One applicant sent In three sheets
Of cardboard. festooned with SO rain
checks, collected during the last three
years. accompanied by a plea that such
loyalty surely deserved series seats.
He got them.
Letter Mailed on Zeppelin.
An example Of confidence in the Cubs
was manifested in an application which
the sender had mailed on the Graf
Zeppelin, giving 1t trip around the
world before 1t reached the Cub ofices.
It was mailed much too early-the rule
being that no application might bear
q postmark earlier than September
but was being given consideration.
Still another cunning, and apparently
prosperous, applicant sent in IA sepa-
rate letters with checks totaling $554.40,
hoping at least one would be drawn
from the bag. His case also was under
consideration.
A wealthy Chicagoan sent check to
william Wrigley, IT., owner OF the club
asking for 80 reserved seats for the
opening game. Inasmuch as only two
tickets will be sold to each individual
the check was returned with q note
that Mr.. Wrigley had nothing to dc
with the disposal of seats. The cheek
and request then was sent to President
william L. Week, but again was re-
turned with q similar comment.

BIGGER AND BETTER LEAGUE
is AIM OF 1929 DIRECTORS
Association ~Umpiring Will
be One Feature; Nine
Teams Will Play.

After the 80 representatives and en-
thusiasts from the various towns of
the county, including Moose Lake in
Carlton county, had finished at the
annual meeting of the Pine County
Baseball league at Sandstone Wednes
day night, the baseball fans of the
county were assured of the best that
can be given in the conduction of the
game for the coming season.
President Carlson of Sturgeon Lake,
called the meeting to order and dir
ectOr or acting director from each of
nine teams was present to conduct
the affairs of his team in the organ
izatiOn.
A Nine Team League.
A different feature of the League
this year from last year will be that
there will be nine teams playing un-
der the title instead of 8. This, as
the directors deemed will be better
because it will give the players on the
respective teams two Sundays during
the playing season when they will not
have to play. In other words there
will be four games in various places
in the county and one team will draw
bye for each Sunday. The, nine
teams that became members at We'd
nesday nights meeting are, Moose
Lake, Sturgeon Lake, Willow River,
Bruno, Groningen, Sandstone, Brook
Park, Askov and Markville. These
teams will all have home talent men
in the field and have declared them
selves in favor of all the bylaws and
regulations laid down by the league
Season Will Start May 5.
On account of having nine teams in
the league with the necessity of play
ing more games, it was decided to
start the season somewhat earlier
than last year. Since the weather
seems to be breaking earlier this
spring, it was deemed advisable to
start the first game of the schedule

Re-engage Poor
Farm, Manager

The county commissioners met in
regular session at Pine City Monday,
March %. The board re-engaged
John Shermer as Overseer and man.
ager of the County Poor farm, fixing
his salary, and accepting his bond
which had been previously arranged.
The board again took up the mat
ter of the assessment in the town and
village of Sturgeon Lake and passed
a resolution asking the State Tax
Commission to arrange for a re-as-
seSsment of those precincts.
An appropriation was made to care
for the upkeep and repairs of the var
ious state aid roads, the amount total
ing $4,000. This is to be distributed
over the various roads of the county,
depending on the needs and condi-
tions.
Final Returns on Snow PlOw Vote.
From what information has come to
the county auditors office, although
not all official returns, the total vote
on the snow pillow referendum vote is
1,90S to 1,914 i'm favor of the mo"
votes.
County Auditor Edin reports that
some of the precincts had not report
ed and therefore some of the returns
were the results of reports coming in
from outside sources.

COOP OIL co. is
READY TO START

The directors of the proposed CO.
operative oil company for Askov met
Wednesday afternoon and after due
elaboration decided to proceed with
the project.
Articles of Incorporation, as drawn
up last year, will be filed with the
state department at once so the COM
pany will function as a legal cOrpo-
ration.
1t was decided to purchase one
1900 gallon gasoline tank and a
10000 gallon kerosene tank. These
will be erected on tract of land i'm
mediately back of the town hall lot,
along the railroad right of way. The
company has secured a lease on the
opposite side of the main track, so
it will be necessary to run supply
pipes under the tracks. The piece of
land required for the location of their
tanks has been purchased from the
Askov Hardware & Motor Co., who
own a triangle there.
There are today 10 who have signed
up for one or more S25 shares in
the company, so the directors feel
that this amount is sufficient to start
actual operation. If arrangements
can be carried through as planned,
it is expected the new company will
be ready for business by May 1.
