All of the colleges have done everything possible in the way of training--training, by the way that began in September--and now the boatloads must rise or fall on the results of those long weeks of preparations.
 Final workouts on the river were concluded yesterday and consisted of nothing more strenuous than idle padding and the practicing of rac- ing starts.
 An Early Start
 Shortly after breakfast to-day the first attachments of the some 100,- 900 spectators who are expected to view the three races began the de- scent on the river. Thousands of men, women and children tumbled and skidded down the precipitous banks which curve along Pough- keepsie's waterfront to take up vantage points and brave whatever weather Providence might send. Many of the spectators were armed with lunches and fiasks, imparting carnival flavor to the scene.
 Seven freshman, six junior var sity and nine varsity crews will bat tie 1t out on the Hudson's eccentric waters to-day. The racing, wealth CT and wind permitting, will start at o'clock, Eastern daylight time, when the freshman of Washington, Colun bia, Cornell. Pennsylvania. Syracuse, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Navy row over the last two miles of the four-mile var sity course.
 Jayvee Open
 An hour later the junior varsity crews will sweep three miles down the river. Columbia, Pennsylvania, Cornell, California, Navy and Syr- acuse are entered in this event. Washington is favored to take the frosh race with the Jayvee affair anybody's race.
 At 2 o'clock nine varsity boats, four of them undefeated during the starting point at Krums elbow and lineup for the four-mile grind to Blue Point. Never before in the long history of the regatta has the issue been so confused on the eve of the race. Of the nine boats en- tered, no less than five of them, Co., Irmbia, Cornell, Syracuse, Washing ton and California, are conceded bright chances for victory. The re- maining crews, with the exception of Pennsylvania which failed to win a race ali year, are granted better thaa fighting chances.
 Books Pick Lions
 None of the experts who have watched the crews in practice, has been so bold as to predict winner. This they left to the bookmakers who obligingly named Columbia as their first choice. with Washington, Cornell, Syracuse, California, Navy, sachusetts Tech. Wisconsin and Pennsylvania following in the order named.

Spectators at the 1890 National Open at Interlachen could have seen Hagen, Jones, Smith, Sarazen and others of their favorites perform with all of their sticks without nov ing from the comforting shade near the practice tee. Incidentally, you may recall that the Open last year was played in one of those good old- fashioned hot spells. But getting back to business, this shows how se- rious the stars take their practice shots, a department neglected by 50 per cent of the duffers.
 The practice tee is the place to iron out your shots and loosen your muscles for play. It won't hurt any player to hit at least five shots with each club in his bag before stepping up to the first tee. Think back on some of your recent rounds and you probably can see few spots where five or 10 minutes of practice would have saved you that miserable 2 or s.

Ray Kreis, superintendent of roads
Seventh commissioner district, st.
Louis county, whose home is at Hib-
bling.
After enjoying a splendid dinner
served by Mrs. Prochaska and assist
ants, the afternoon was spent in social
visiting with little politics thrown
in occasionally. Mr.. Teigan whose
name has become known all over the
state for his well edited Farmer-La-
Dor political column which is being
run in more and more of the states
weekly newspapers, and as editor OF
the Farmer-Labor Leader, is now in

nance at the state capitol; Mr.. Sundby
is the assistant state purchasing
agent; Mrs. Sundby handled the recent

Mr. Griffith is the man who so sue
cessfully handled the Floyd B. Olson
campaign for governor last fall.
Mr.. Prochaska, the host, who has
the corner drug store in Pine City,
takes a keen interest in politics
though he has never aspired to any
office. Few men in the state have
read more on politics and are better
posted than Mr.. Prochaska, so they
come from different parts of the state
and even from other states to discuss
political subjects with him-ranging
from local county and state matters
to those national in scope, as well as
the present-day situation in Europe
and the world.

Walberg Is Having Great
Year In Baseball World
Baseball Writers Recognize Ability
When he Wins Ten Ont of
T2UelUe Games.

That George "Rube" Walberg, Pine
county boy is making a name for him
self in the baseball world, being a
member of the Philadelphia Athletics,
is evidenced by the following writeup
by sports writer in one of the recent
issues of northwest daily newspaper
under the caption, History Repeats
With Connie Mack:
Back in the days when Eddie
Plank, Jack Coombs and Chief Bender
were pitching the Athletics to PEN
nants and worlds championships,
baseball experts opined that no man.
ager again ever would have three
such sterling hurlers on his staff at
one and the same time.
History apparently has repeated it.
self with Connie Mack for the veteran
leader of the AS has come up with
another trio equaling the Plank
Coombs-Bender triumvirate in the
persons of George Earnshaw, Lefty
Grove and RUDE Walberg. These three
pitchers among them have registered
80 victories and have been charged
with only six defeats. Earnshaw and
Grove have won II games and lost
each, while Walberg has turned in
10 wins and is charged with only
losses.
What a pitching staff, and what
ball team!'
"Rube," so to speak, has had diff
ficult Shedding to get into the head
lines by reason of being on the same
pitching staff as Lefty" Grove and
with the 1880 World Series star,
George Earnshaw, but his persever-
ance and ability is winning out and
he has thus earned the above distinc-
ton of being a member of a trio of
pitchers second to none in the country.
Just as Gehrig, home run hitter of
the New York Yankees is in the
shadow of Babe Ruth, RUDE Walberg
is Swallowed by Lefty Grove by virtue
of showmanship and priority rights
to the public's favor. However many
Pine county friends will string along
with Walberg and it is now apparent
that he will not disappoint them.
Strong in Saturdays Game.
Walberg proved his mettle in Sat-
urday's game against the Chicago
White Sox when his team won to 4.
His teammates were almost continual
ly getting him into tight places by
errors and each time he worked hard
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1931-06-25

to emerge from seemingly impossible
positions. During the game he walked
five and famed four, while allowing
only eight hits. This made his
eleventh victory.
Phil Silesky, owner of the Fair
Store in Pine City, and William Black
man, owner of the fruit truck that
operates on highway No. 1, were
guests of RUDE Walberg and his team
in Chicago at the Cooper Carlton
hotel and witnessed the game.
RUDE Walberg, it will be remem-
bered, was born west of Pine City and
his mother, Mrs. Andrew Amrin, and
brother, Alfred Walberg, still reside
in Pine county.
