"OLD TIMERS" GET
into ACTION sun.
Throw Big Scare Into Regu-
lars in Mortal Base Ball
Combat July Is
WIND BADLY BROKEN
Fast Semi Professional Team
Will Play July 20-LOcals
to Be Strengthened
(By Palsy Pall)

Sunday was ladies day at the 10
cal base ball park and the grand
stand was filled with an extra fine
crowd of feminine fans. The day
was splendid, and while here and
there a fieecy cloud dotted the blue
sky, it was ideal for a ball game.
Sometime ago a bunch of HAS
Beens" in the base ball world chal-
lenged the local Independents to a
game, winners to take the entire
gate. Sunday was the day, and the
"Old Timers" went down to defeat
before Juddy's mighty right hand
offerings.
The team of "Old Timers, or
former stars, was composed of the
following well known players:
walter" H. E. Johnson, headed
the batting list and played around
the hot corner; Old "Chief" Thiegs,
who played behind the bat when
most of us were kids, held down
the same position until his hand
became burned up with the heavy
offerings of "Wilcey" Wolfe, and
then finished the game at first base
'Ty" Gales, heavy hitter and base
runner, was the only one of the all
stars to connect with the ball twice
during the game for safeties. He
hit three Dagger and almost layed
down between second and third. He
was quite aggravated when he was
forced to run from third on an err
ror. Hack Anderson and "Ty'
changed off playing in the left gar
den. "Nap"rWiesner held down the
second sack and did such good
work that Manager Mellet signed
him to play that position in next
Sundays game with the Modern
Samaritans. Lou" S. P. Hansen
did good job at first, but was I'M
able to connect with the ball and
admitted that it looked like a pea.
"Artie" Smith, played at second
base and went into the center field
before the inning was over. Babe
Mondloch is listed in the box score
as not being at bat. He did bat
though and showed mighty good
form, until his vicious swing at the
ball for a foul caused him to retire
from the game with a mighty sore
hip. Casey" Clough went in to bat
for him and with one mighty swat
he famed out as did the great
Casey of Mudville, many years asc.
"Pie" Iwinski also played around
the keystone sack and was quite a
worry to the Independents. Short
was held down by woody" Pflip-
sen, who aided greatly in helping
the regulars get a few scores, but
evened up when he went around
the diamond to count one for the
all-stars. "Tris" Cooper and Hap
Miller changed about in the right
garden, both of them feeling that
they were unable to go the full
game.
The play opened with a nervous
tension and was made interesting
for the Independents through the
unknown strength of the all-stars.

Minnesota Given New
United States Highway
No. 169 to Run from Kansas City
to Canadian BOrder-TwO
Routes Extended

Minnesota will have a new U. S.
highway from the Iowa line to the
Canadian border, and extensions of
two existing U. S. highways as a
result of recent action of the ex-
ecutive committee of the American
Association of State Highway Of
ficials. c. M. Babcock, commission
er of highways, is placing orders
for the necessary markers and will
have them erected as soon as they
can be made and delivered.
The new route will be known as
U. S. No. 1859. It will extend from
Kansas City, Mo-, to International
Falls, MINI. It will enter Mime
sofa at Elmore, follow trunk high
way No. through Blue Earth,
Mankato, st. Peter, LIE Sueur, Belle
Plaine, Jordan and Shakopee to
Minneapolis, No. 3 through Anoka
to Elk River, No.1S through Prince
ton, Milaca and Onamia to CARR
son, No. IS through Aitkin, Grand
Rapids and Hibbing to Virginia,
and No. IL to International Falls
In Iowa it will pass through, AL
gona, Fort Dodge, Abel, Winterset,
and Mr.. Ayr.
U. S. No. 8 which at present en-
tiers Minnesota at Taylors Falls
and follows No. 46 through Lind
strom to Wyoming, will be ex-
tended over T. H. No. to Forest
Lake and over T. H. No. So from
Forest Lake to Minneapolis. This
route starts at Powers, Mich, and
runs through Rhinelander, Lady
smith and st. Croix Falls, Wis.
u. s. No. II, which starts at Dali
las, Texas and formerly terminated
at Milbank, s. D., will be extended
to Ortonville. MINI. The half mile
in Minnesota is over county high
way. This route runs through
Brookings and Sioux Falls, S. D.,
South Sioux City and Lincoln,
Neb., Harrington and Arkansas City,
Kansas, and Oklahoma City, Okla,
to Dallas, Texas.
Placing the u. S. numbers on a
state highway does not in any way
change the status of the road, but
is simply system of numbering
routes carrying considerable inter-
state traffic. The numbering plan
was worked out by the American
Association Of State Highway offic-
ials and the U. s. Bureau of Pub
lie Roads. The routes are marked
with black numbers on a white
shield. carrying the initials "U. S."
the number of the route, and the
abrevation of the state. The mark
ers are erected by the state high
way departments, and the states re-
tain the same control as before
The numbering has no connection
with federal aid, although most Of
the u. S. numbered routes are also
federal aid highways.
Mr.. Babcock is a member of the
executive committee of the Ameri-
can Association of State Highway
officials.

Ali Club Finals at State
Fair Will Be Attractive
Twelve Hundred Boys and Girls
From Every County, Will
Take Part

Twelve hundred boys and girls
from every county in the state will
compete in the All club finals at
the Minnesota State Fair and
Northwest Livestock Show, August
80 to September 6, announces T. A.
Erickson, State club leader.
The junior farmers will come to
the fair to exhibit dairy calves,
pigs, colts, sheep and poultry, and
to demonstrate how they have learn
ed to bake bread and cake, can
fruits, vegetables and meats, aand
make their own clothing. They are
the winners of preliminary contests
in which more than 10000 club
members competed. 49,.
AS an illustration of the value of
club work, and the wonderful re-
suits it has accomplished, Mr..
Erickson points to the case of Hill
mer Carlson. Of Detroit Lakes. Hill
mer, now an exhibitor in the open
cattle classes at the fair, joined a
corn club Is years ago. In less
than three years, for his excellent
work, he was awarded a prize of a
purebred Jersey bull calf.
This was the first purebred an
imal of any kind on the Carlson
farm.
Hilmer next joined a All dairy
club and bought his first purebred
Jersey heifer. Later he added two
more. Then his father became in
terested, and while Hilmer was de-
veloping a purebred herd Of 80 an
imals, his father successfully grad
ed up his scrub cows. r.s ..q.
Father and son work together.
Each is an exhibitor at the state
fair. The Carlson farm is now a
show place, with it's fine cattle,
modern dairy barn, new silo and
up-to-date farm and home equip
ment.
Hilmer's brothers and sisters
have followed in his footsteps as
Al members, and, as Iilmer's
father says:
THE best part Of it is not the
fine herd of cattle. but the fact that
our boys and girls have grown up
to be such fine. young men and
women"
The story of Hilmer Carlson can
be multiplied thousand times and
Is the reason why the business men
OF the Northwest, the extension de-
partment Of the University Of Min
nesota, and the fair management
give so generously of their time and
money to encourage the growth of
boys and girls club work.

Brown Seeks Postal Rates
Increases to Clear Deficit
Postmaster General Will Recon-
mend to Congress 21s Cent
First Class Rate

Washington, July 11.-Convinced
that an increase in postage rates is
the only feasible way of lifting the
worlds biggest public utility "out
of the red," postal officials are pre-
pairing to press their advocacy of
higher charge for carrying first
class mail.
When Postmaster General Brown
submits his annual report to con-
gress in December, the enactment
of legislation authorizing the in
crease is to be his most urgent
recommendation. The postmaster
believes rate of 2h cents an ounce
on first class mail would balance
the departments budget for the
present.
Assistant Postmaster General Til
ton, generally regarded as the finan-
cial expert of the department, said
today an increase in rate on letter
mail is the only solution of the de-
felt problem.
1--WE see no other way out" Til
ton said. IF the public or congress
sees one, we shall be glad to have
them point it out"
Last years postal deficit amount
ed to $50,O00.0O0. Tilton estimates
it will run over sec, 900 this year.
The present loss in handling the
mails is now charge against the
general funds Of the treasury.
Brown and Tilton are of the opin-
ion the post office department as a
public utility should be self-support-
ing, the cost Of operation to be
borne by those it serves rather than
the taxpaying public.
The present rate on first class
mail has been in effect since 1885,
situation without parallel. Tilton
said, in any other line of business.
Meanwhile, the worlds biggest
single business is growing at a
tremendous rate. Last year it
handled more than 27,OOO, 1000, 900 ar
ticles and the increase in the num-
Der of articles every year is more
than a billion.

EFFORT TO RETAIN
POSITION AS MAYOR
Loses to Frank Murphy by IT,
600 Votes But Defeats Recall
Committees Choice

Detroit, Sept. l0.-R-Charlcs
Bowles lost his fight yesterday to re-
gain the position Of mayor Of Detroit
which ne won as q reform candidate
and lost In q recall election after six
months in office.
He had the satisfaction, however,
OF running ahead Of the man n
dorsed BY the committee which man.
aged the recall campaign.
The winner Of what turned out to
be virtually q three-man race vi
Frank Murphy. who resigned from

With the backing OF some Of the ele-
ments which helped elevate Bowles
from the same bench to the mayors
chair last November. Murphy ran
approximately $4,000 votes ahead Of
Bowles who. in turn, had . marRin
almost q large over George .Engel,
the recall committees choice. John
w. Smith, former mayor, trailed far
behind, and Phillip Raymond, q COM
munist. got about 5000 votes.
The special election came after the
second bitter campaign Detroit had
witnessed In less than two months
and after . period Of political excite
ment which started within a few
weeks OF Bowles' taking over the Of
flee Of mayor on January II.
Criticism Of Bowles started with
charges that gambling houses were
operating in the city without inter-
ference from the centralized police
vice squad which his commission Of
police, Arnold H. Emmons, had ere.
ated at his instance.
Matters came to q crisis when En-
mons directed raids on gambling
houses during Bowles' absence to At
tend the Kentucky derby. On his re-
turn the mayor dismissed Emmons
and appointed Thomas G. wilcox in
his place this precipitated the recall
movement.
A few hours after It became known

10000 to 5000, one OF his most ac-
tive political foes, Jerry Buckley, DO
litical commentator for radio station
