MOOSE LAKE IS
LEAGUE CHAMP
Duplicates Feat of 1929
By Again Taking
Pennant.
Wins Two Straight Games
From Sturgeon Lake
By Score Is to 8.

The final chapter was written in
the 1880 Pine County Baseball
Leagues schedule Monday afternoon
when Moose Lake defeated Sturgeon
Lake Is to in the second and final
game of a possible three game series.
Moose Lake won the first game by the
same score week before. The game
was supposed to have been played
Sunday and had progressed to four
and one-half innings with the score
standing in favor of Moose Lake to
3 at the time it was called by a for
est ranger because of a fire which
had broken out northwest of Moose
Lake. In this event the game was
postponed with no desicion as to score
until the following day at which time
it was replayed.
Both teams were somewhat weak
ened by several regulars being out of
the lineup due to injuries. There
fore, the brand of baseball that was
expected did not materialize only at
intervals during the game.
In direct contrast with the first
game played at Sturgeon Lake at
which time it was estimated 1000
people attended, only fair crowd en-
joyed the game at Moose Lake.

Strong Wind Fans Forest
Blaze Into Fury of
Destruction.
Rain A ly Saves
Farm Houses From Be-
ing Destroyed.

Famed by a southeast wind blazes
in various parts of Pine county and
adjoining counties reached large pro-
portions Sunday afternoon and only
through almost superhuman efforts
on the part of forest rangers and citi-
zens who gathered in large groups for
the emergency was destruction to
farm homes narrowly averted.
Most Dangerous Blaze Near Rutledge.
People in the vicinity of Finlayson,
north from Buggie's corner to Spark S
corner and east as far as the paving
and to Rutledge were especially much
concerned when at about 1890 p. m.
two fires of unknown origin were dis
about a half mile east of Fred Man
nelin's farm and the other nearly a
half a mile north. Mr.. Mannelin' s
daughter, Mrs. John Karvo saw the
smoke, and spoke to her father when
they were at church just west of town,
and he and other neighbors who live
in the vicinity of Mineral Spring, hur-
ried home and Mr.. Mannelin called
the fire warden at Moose Lake, who
with forest ranger was soon on the
job directing the many workers who
soon gathered. The fire, famed by a
strong southeast wind spread so rap
idly that nothing could be done to
stop it, although back fires were
started to prevent it from spreading
to the east and west. Ed Arth of Fin
layson had charge at the south end of
the area. 1t burned north to the North
ern Pacific track and toward Rutledge
which was threatened seriously until
the rain during Sunday night checked
it.
At the Fred Anderson and Royer
farms it came quite close but no
damage was done to the buildings,
though considerable stacked hay was
burned not only there but in other
places along the path of the blaze.
Dense smoke from the burning pine
trees rose hundreds of feet in the air
and was seen for a considerable dis
lance.
AT M i n e r al Spring considerable
back-firing was done to prevent the
flames from spreading to the Man
nelin, Hautala, Wiljakkala and Efram
Peura farms. Men watched there all
night until the rain wet the ground
thoroughly, so no further spread
through the dry grass was possible.
Had the wind been any other direc-
ton it apparently would have caused
much damage to farm buildings.

PINE CITY MEETING
FAVORS OUTSIDE
HOSPITAL MONEY

At meeting held in Pine City viii
lage hall last Thursday evening, the
prospects of building a hospital to
serve that community was discussed
by group of about forty men who
had been called together for that pur-
pose. DR.. Nethercott opened the meet
ing. stating it's purpose and then J.
Arthur Dundas took the floor and
called on different men present for
their opinions Mr.. Dundas had ex-
planned that there were two ways in
which the hospital might be built,
one being the financing with some out
side capital with some stock sold in
the community and the other being
that of financing entirely locally.
He called on Webster Hodge who
stated he would like to see hospital
but felt that fifty to fifty-five thou
sand dollar proposition might be too
much for a town the size of Pine City.
Mr.. j. ID. Boyle expressed himself in
favor of the project being financed
from the outside.
r. E. Hamlin of Moose Lake, was
~ anu " do CdlIcu OIL W Tell what
he knew of the Moose Lake hospital
project Mr.. Hamlin said that he
thought town the size of Pine City
should have a hospital. He said the
Moose Lake hospital was a community
proposition but that it did not pay
dividends.
Clark Pennington was called on and
stated that he also favored the plan
of financing the project with outside
capital IL this could be done. The
Rev. Steging stated that he thought
the financing locally might be diff
ficult and the Rev. Thompson stated
that the project would surely have
the moral support of the community
if it went through.
In closing the meeting a motion was
made that the meeting go on record
as favoring the plan of outside financ-
ing IL hospital were to be estab-
lished.

South Dakota Man Causes Pavement
Accident When Passing

An auto accident on highway No
1 Sunday evening at about o'clock
near the Friesland Junction when a
driver for the Judy Motor Co. OF
Sioux Falls, S. D., cut in too short
when passing a truck.
The South Dakota driver, riding in
a new Chrysler and trailing one be-
hind apparently being of the more
reckless type that use the highway
for stunts, overlook the Minneapolis
Transfer truck also going toward the
cities and passed it while at the same
time car was approaching from the
south. Seeing that he would have lit
tie time to get back to his side of the
pavement, the Chrysler driver swung
in short and grazed the fender of the
the Chrysler which had slowed con-
siderably, the driver of the truck was
forced to swerve toward the center of
the road. In doing so the approaching
car containing two women and two
men from Minneapolis, unawares of
just what was happening, crashed into
the the truck injuring some of the
passengers. One woman received cuts
on her face and one man was bruised
considerably.
After causing the accident the
driver of the Chyrsler did not hest

miles before he could be overtaken
He was brought back and held at
Sandstone until Tuesday morning
when he was tried in Justice J. H
Tomhave'S court on a charge of care
less driving. On being questioned as
to his part in the accident, he claimed
he did not know that he had hit the
truck nor that he was the cause of
the accident, which seemed unreason-
able inasmuch as such a smash-up oc-

he plead guilty to the charge and
was assessed a fine of 500 and costs

the fine and was released.

e.. ". Conductor
Ends 81 Years
Active Service
Michael J. Flynn, 79, Literally
GreaU up aUlth Minnesota Rail-
Roads; Retired August 81.

A large percentage of railroad men
serve many years in that capacity
but in the person Of Michael j. Flynn,
conductor on the Great Northern rail-
road, between the Twin Cities and the
Twin Ports traversing Pine county,
there is an outstanding record of long
and faithful service.
Mr.. Flynn is now retiring after 81
years of railroad work which was
started back in 1873 as water boy on
the main line of the st. Paul and
Pacific railroad, which railroad was
later purchased by the Great North
ern. Mr.. Flynn was conductor on the
Northern Pacific railroad running be-
tween st. Paul and TaylOrs Falls for
a few years previous to 1890 when
he became conductor on the Duluth
and Winnipeg railroad, his run being
between Duluth and Deer River. This
railroad was also bought up by the
Great Northern few years later.
After two or three years run be-
tween Duluth and Deer River, Mr.
Flynn became conductor on the run
between Duluth and ST. Paul and has
worked here steadily and faithfully
for nearly 40 years.sMany Pine county
people will recognize his picture as
the genial but stern conductor on the
trains running through Pine county
for these many years.
The railroad from Hinckley to Du-
luth was built in 1888 and it was then
called the Eastern Minnesota, but be-
came the property of the Great North
ern in 1890, SO Mr.. Flynn has been
conductor here almost since the time
the railroad was built.
This conductor, who is well liked
by his fellOwmen in railroad circles,
as well as by the general public to
whom he has always given fair and
courteous treatment, has been a resi-
dent of the city Of Duluth for 80
years.
Mr.. and Mrs. Flynn have three
daughters and one son: Mrs. A. J.
Whalen, Detroit, Mich; Mrs. F. H.
Forzdete, Duluth; Mrs. ]. F. Walsh,

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, May 6.-With nine
members Of the team injured or sick
at one time or another and five still
out of regular action, t.le Cleveland
Indians have battled a run of the
toughest luck experienced by any
major league team this spring and
are still hanging around the top
The Indians have won nine out of
the last twelve games, including six
straight, and are tied with the
Philadelphia Athletics for the
American League lead.
Our reserve strength has enabled
us to get off to a strong start, de-
spite the loss Of number of our
regulars, Manager Peckinpaugh told
the United Press today.
I'VE have picked up three fine
youngsters in outfielder Seeds, pitch
er Brown and inf1eIder Burnett, and
their playing has enabled us to keep
going at top speed, despite injuries
to such stars as Averill, Porter, Falk,
FonSeca, Joe Sewell and others.
i think we are better fortified in
reserve strength than any other
American League club. Certainly
we have it On the Athletics in that
respect. Where would they be i
they had been without Simmons or
Foxx, as we have been without
three Of our outf1elders and Fon-
Seca?"
