ELY TEAM GETS INTO
STATE SEMI FINALS
LEGION TEAM IN STATE TOURNA-
MENT AT SALTWATER MAKES
EXCELLENT SHOWING - TAKE
ROCHESTER INTO CAMP AND
LOSE TO PARKERS PRAIRIE.
CBy Charles Gallagher }

The Ely American Legion junior
baseball team won their opening game
at the state tourney Monday when
they defeated Rochester y to IL The
boys were given a set back at the
hands of Parkers Prairie by a 20 to 8
count in the Semi-hnalS on Tuesday
and were thereby eliminated. Ely
drew bye in the opening round and
did not play on Sunday and met
Rochester on Monday.
Rochester opened up early in the
game and appeared to be making way
with the bacon as they ran-up to
0 lead on Ely in the first three innings,
From the third inning the local boys
got over their stage fright and began
to send the Rochester twirler to the
showers. Ely soon found themselves
tie with Rochester and then forged
ahead into a IL to lead which they
held until the seventh inning.
Rochester then pushed across two
runs and placed men on second and
third with two out and their heaviest
hitter up to bat. In attempting to
bunt the batter hit a foul ball and
Ferderber at catch reached over and
shared it behind his back to end the
6di1lC Al q f1CCOiy 1O1 Ely OCllWSlScl
started out in the box for Ely but was
relieved by Kral the regular pitcher.
Krall, although issuing several passes,
was good in the pinches and pitched
creditable ball. j. Golobich was rob-
bed of home run in the game when
the umpire allowed him only two bases
on ball hit into corn field.
In the second game Ely was out
classed by Parkers Prairie but put up
courageous fight and had hopes ali
the way until the third man was out
in the seventh inning. The two games
told on the pitchers and Kran did not
fare as well as at the opening game
Parkers Prairie was made up of con-
siderably larger boys than our lineup
for big advantage. According to
those who witnessed the tourney, Par
kers Prairie had pitcher who is des-
tined to become big Lacquer some day
If he keeps on playing ball. Parkers
Prairie was nosed out of the cham
pionship in the afternoon by North
Minneapolis in an extra inning game
that ended to 5.
According to everyone who witnessed
the tourney the officiating was very
poorly done and all claim that the
farmer boys from Parkers Prairie were
simply robbed of the championship in
the ninth inning. The game was
played under protest and may, il
properly looked into be awarded to
Parkers Prairie.

WAL TON LEAGUE
CONSERVATION
CONSERVATION DIRECTOR SETH
GORDON SPEAKS ON LEAGUE
EFFORTS IN THE STATE OF
MINNESOTA AND ON ACCOM-
PLISHMENTS.

Minnesota, one of the most wonder
full outdoor states in the Union, has
made very encouraging conservation
progress during recent years, but the
possibilities have barely been Scrat-
ched," declared Seth Gordon, Conser-
vation Director of the Izaak Walton
League of America, in his address be-
fore the State Convention of the
League, held at Mora during late July
The present sentiment in Mime
sofa for the wise use of her natural
resources is due largely to the work of
the Izaak Walton League and the
public-spirited groups which have CO.
operated with it.
THE recent passage of the Ship
stead-Newton-Nola Bill, to protect
that lake and forest wonderland which
you call the Superior National Forest
region, is by far the greatest conser-
vation victory Of the recent session Of
Congress. This measure establishes
new conservation principles which will
soon be adopted in many other parts
Of the country. You Minnesota Walt
onians have right to be proud of
your very prominent part in this great
victory.
Among the other outstanding
things for which the Minnesota Wal
tonians have battled successfully are
the establishment of that hardy little
game bird, the Hungarian partridge;
legislation to clean up the deplorable
pollution situation in the upper Mis-
sissippi and other waters; the approval
of the constitutional amendments to
establish modern forest laws; the re-
storation of Red Lake and Thief Lake
as waterfowl breeding grounds; and
hundreds of splendid community ac-
complishments too numerous to men
ton.
"But from the standpoint of Mime
sofas future the biggest accomplish
ment of all is just around the corner
the establishment of a modern conser-
vation commission with a Director in
complete charge Of administrative af-
fairs Such a commission will guide
Minnesota's conservation policies and
assure a continuity of the services of
trained leaders regardless of changing
administrations.
''The plan recently announced by
the Izaak Walton Leagues State Pro-
gram and Legislative Committee is
absolutely sound" concluded Mr.. Cor
don. "It will coordinate and stabilize
your conservation program. If this
plan is adopted by the next Legislature
it will do for Minnesota what the same
plan has done for Wisconsin-greater
efficiency, less politics, and more real
progress in three years than during the
previous twenty"

BALL GAME SUNDAY FURNISHES
THRILLS FOR AUDIENCE OF
ENTHUSIASTIC STICK FANS

(By "Shammy" Somrok.) }

The Eveleth and Ely baseball teams
went into an extra inning Sunday to
settle 5 to 5 deadlock, Ely winning
in the 10th, 6 to s.
Both teams scored twice in the first
inning, Eveleth getting their counters
when Ahlin doubled, Langen walked
and Damberg doubled. Ely's two runs
came in when the first three men up
hit safely; Gianotti singled and came
home on Aijala's three ply hit and
then Alfalfa came home on B. Mad
dern's two base hit
Ely scored two more runs in the
fourth when Nicholas hit safely, fol-
lowed with hits by Grahek, Smrekar
and two-bagger by Gadbout Alfalfa
scored Ely's fifth run when he singled
and went to second on DEFAULTS poor
throw to second, took third on an in
field out and scored on Starkman's
single. Ely played errorless ball un-
til the ninth stanza when erors by
Gianotti, Sn1rekar and Alfalfa and two
hits by the visitors gave Eveleth three
runs to knot the count at five all.
Eveleth was reired in quick time in
the tenth. Ely scored the winning run
in their half of the tenth when Cad
bout got first on Damberg's error and
scored on B. Maddern's double. Nice
base running and perfect slide into
home by Gadbout made the score pos
sible. Two snappy double plays by
each team featured in the game.
Gadbout struck out Il of the op-
posing batsmen while Wagner struck
out locals. The hits were close, Eve
leth getting and Ely 10.

LARGE NUMBER FROM HERE
ATTEND RAILROAD PICNIC.

Fifty-six from Ely went to Two Har-
bors Sunday to attend the fourth an
nual picnic of the railroad employees
association.
The picnic was attended by mon
ster crowd. Five special trains on the
Mesaba and D. & l. r. and hundreds
of automobiles took the crowd to Two
Harbors. Those who attended claim
that the crowd was handled with dis
patch by the fifteen traffic policemen
assigned. These had a rather strenu-
Gus time as a downpour of rain held
up the proceedings for nearly two
hours. Despite the rain and the wet
field, the ball game between the teams
representing the two divisions was
played at the Horace Johnson athletic
field and was won by the Proctor team
by score of IL to g. Delbern and
Caron were the battery for the Mis-
sabe division, and Soderstrom and
Swanson on the mound for the Iron
Range division with Raycraft catching.
1t is estimated that 1000 persons wit
messed the game.
