second run of the inning. The
fielding features were provided by
w. Halversen and Arneson, of
Brooten. The former made a par
ticularly good catch of PauPs foul
pop-up in the sixth while Arneson
was the author of sensational
play In the ninth when he speared
Hopkin' Texas Lacquer in short
center after long run.
Brooten's two runs were coined
in the second. One batter was
out when Arneson was hit by a
pitched ball. Lewis caught him
off first but the runner logged safe
ly to second when Soltau didn't get
his throw. Halverson mauled q
double to left to count Arneson. A
passed ball advanced the former to
third from where he scored as Yes
ledahl bounced to Olsen.
Sank Centre had four good
chances to score and all Of them
came In the first four innings.
With two away in the starting
round Klar spanked safety to
right and trotted to second on q
pass to Lewis but Nugent was per-
fectly placed for Hopkins line
drive. In the following stanga
Paul rifled hit to left but was
out trying to reach second when
the left fielder returned the ball to
first. After Olsen had popped out,
Soltau was hit by a Rengel offering

Benson. In the third Courtney led

successive thefts put him on third

While Fishing
(Osakis Review


This community was saddened
Sunday afternoon when rews
reached Osakis that Oscar NJ. John
son, aged IS, well known farmer of
Gordon township had met accident
al death by drowning while he was
fishing in Maple lake, about eight
miles northeast Of Osakis.
It appears that he had gone out
to the lake alone and was fishing
about 10 rods from the southeast
shore. Oscar had last talked with
a picnic party from Long Prairie
just before starting out from shore
and appeared to be in good health
and spirits. An hour or two later
the empty boat drifted to shore.
His brother, Marvin johnson aud
Mic Engen, neighboring farmers
who were fishing across the lake
about q mile away, saw Oscar APP
parentiy rowing towards them and
figured that he was rowing over to
their. side of the lake. Looking up
only few minutes later they dis
cerned the boat but were unable
to locate the occupant. Feeling

FreeportP Protested Final
Game at Stearns Fair
George A. Barton, Tribune Sports
Writer, Rules Man on Third
Should Have Scored

A. J. Botz, manager Of the
Freeport baseball team, enter
ed a protest on the final game
of the baseball tournament Of
the Stearns County Fair. It
will be remembered that the
umpire called a balk on the
Brooten pitcher and only adj
vanced the runner on first to
second. Mr.. Botz contended
that both the runner on first
and third should have been adj
vanced. This would have tied
the score and probably would
have driven the game into ex-
ira innings. Owing to the
fact that so many baseball
players disagreed on the point,
it was thought best to get ex-
pert advice and hence the
management wrote letters to
various sport writer's and UNI
pires Of the northwest.
The first letter received was
from George A. Barton, noted
sport writer Of the Minneapolis
Tribune, and his verdict is as
follows:
Mr.. Rattle:
If the pitcher had his foot on
the rubber when he bluffed
throws to third and first bases,
then he committed a balk and
both runners were entitled to
advance, with the runner on
third scoring.
When a pitcher commits a
balk all Of the base-runners
advance.
George A. Barton,
Sports Editor Tribune"
In the meantime the purse
will be held up pending agree
ment of the Freeport and
Brooten managers. The UNI
pires of the final game were
both neutral men, in fact, the
man behind the bat was not
infarmed as to the names of the
contending teams until he ask
ed one of the players.

Local Ladies Are
Making Fine Trip
Have Ratified Along Highways to
Missoula, Mont, In Ford
Vintage of 1919

The following taken from tn
Mont, Evening Sentine
tells a graphic story of an inter
esting auto trip being enjoyed b
Mrs. Leroy Working and Mr..
Maude Dewey, both of this city VIII
have arrived at Missoula in Moo
ell 1919 Ford which has been drive
over 100000 miles. Mrs. Working i
70 years old and Mrs. Dewey is 6;
The story follows:
Steep, narrow highways hold
no fears for 70-year-old Mrs.
Leroy Working, of Sank Centre,
MINI. Rather, they have for
her a certain fascination. CSC
pecially when she travels over
them in Henry, her trusty 1919
Model T Ford sedan.
These modern gear-shift
cars may be all right" she says,
but give me my old foot-ped-
al car any time. It has the
best engine Ford ever turned
out, and he'll get me where I
want to CO."
Mrs. Working, accompanied
by Mrs. Maude Dewey, IS,
made the trip from the Mime
sofa city to Missoula within
one week. The two women are
visiting Mrs. Workings son,
Charles L. Working, at 1134
Van Buren, street. They plan
to drive back after a six-week
visit here.
Mrs. Dewey does not know
how to drive, so Mrs. Working
acted as chauffeur for the en-
tire distance. Her proudest
boast is the great economy.
1.-THE total cost Of the trip"
she said, twas only $21.08."
The two women, lifelong
friends and former school
mates, slept in the car every
night of the trip. At the start,
friends suggested to Mrs.
Working that she would have
greater comfort staying at
hotels. What = and leave
Henry at the mercy Of strang-
ers in a garage?" she replied.
'Never-we stay with Henry
every night"
Two years ago, when his
speedometer broke, Henry had
gone $4,000 miles. He has been
: used steadily since then Mrs.
Working said, on short errands
and lengthy pleasure trips
alike. Though used to the
level grades Of Minnesota,
Henry took the hills Of Mon
tana like a veteran, without q
murmur of complaint.
I'VE left the road only once"
Mrs. Working said, "and that
was on the Georgetown high
, way, coming from Butte. We
got off the grade and the car
started tipping over. They
wanted me to get out, but I
made up my mind IL Henry was
going over, I was going with
him.
Some tourists pulled US out,
though, so everything came out
all right. Henry's record Is still
unstained by q serious acci-
dent"

Season Will

President Approves Regula-
lions Caused by Drought
in Breeding Areas
CANADA COOPERATE
Members Wintering in the
United States Expected to
Be Greatly Reduced

Because af disastrous conditions
caused by prolonged drought the
season for hunting ducks, geese
brant and coots throughout the
United States and Alaska has been
reduced to one month by an amend
ment to the Migratory Bird Treaty
Act regulations approved by Proc
lamation Of President Hoover Aug.
rs. The amendment becomes effec-
tive Immediately, announces the
Biological Survey Of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
and 1t Is anticipated that Canadian
authorities will soon take similar
action.
In the northern half of the coun-
try except Alaska, the season on
ducks, geese, brant, and coot under
the new regulations will open Oct
tober 1, and in the south Novemb-
er 16. except in Florida, where IL
will begin November 20. The sea-
sons on Wilson's snipe, or jack
snipe, sora, woodcock, and doves
have not been changed.
The one month season from Oct
tober to October 81 applies to
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island, Con-
necticut, New York Except Long
Island), Pennsylvania, West, Vir-
ginia, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Wis
consin, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa,
Minnesota, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Colo
RADIO, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho,
Utah, Nevada, Oregon and Wash
ington,
Some ducks and geese breed thru
out the watered regions OF Canada
and northwestern United States,
yet according to the Biological Sur
vey, the principal stocks of the
more commonly hunted species
come from the drought-affected re-
gion. In this region officials of
the two governments found a SER
ious shortage Of birds, which, they
state, will result in great reduc-
ton in the numbers wintering in
the United States.
r. Under the provisions Of the Mi
gratory Bird Treaty with Great
Britain, Biological Survey officials
explain, the Department Of Ag-
riculture is charged with the pro-
lection and maintenance in this
country Of the birds that migrate
to and from Canada. These offic-
ials, after studying the effect of
conditions in the drought-stricken
areas and considering all proposed
solutions Of the problem, have been
convinced that the reduction of the
shooting season prescribed by the
amendment will safeguard the sup
ply of ducks and geese If sports
men and all others interested will
cooperate to secure close obser-
vance Of the regulation, as amend

Doctors Give Polio
Advice to All Parents
Put AiIing Child to Bed No Matter
What His Symptoms, Medical
Experts Urge

st Paul-There is no protective
vaccination against Infantile Para
lysis, SO it Is UP to the parents to
be on their guard to help recognize
the disease at the earliest possible
moment.
This is the gist Of advice to par
ents issued today by the Education
Committee Of the Minnesota State
Medical Association. A protection,
such as toxin anti-toxin or toxoid
for diphtheria or vaccination for
smallpox may some day be dis
covered for Polio" But in the
meantime, a proper vigilance on
the part Of parents to protect their
children from all kinds Of infec-
tions will go long way toward
checking. the present unusual cpl
demic Of the dreaded disease.
When something is wrong with
a child, the alert mother is the
first to notice signs Of illness" the
bulletin says. "She should not
wait to see what this something
is going to turn out to be but keep
him quietly at home in bed away
from other children and await de-
velopments.
The time to keep ailing children
away from others is from the very
first onset Of symptoms not after
they are sick enough for teacher
or a nurse to take note-perhaps
an hour after the child has been
in contact with his school mates.
eff the trouble is only trif1ing
one quiet day in bed will hasten
recovery and protect others. If II
is serious that initial day in bed
will give the child and the doctor
the best possible chance to fight
the disease"
In the presence Of an annual
amount Of Polio in the State, the
Medical Association authorities
strongly urge parents to take espe-
cial pains to prevent epidemics Of
all kinds among the children.
Polio shows itself frequently In
the guise Of a little digestive upset
or in upper respiratory infection
they say. A headache, a stiff neck
fever and a diarrhea are often
among the first and may be dis
missed by an ignorant or careless
mother as insignificant and the
doctor is not called.
Put the child, who shows any
such symptom to bed at once and
call the doctor. Let him tell you
whether or not it Is really a case fol
simple dose Of laxative or some
thing more serious.
"A dose Of laxative may In fac,
do harm" says the bulletin before
calling for help. And in some cases
where instead Of a digestive upset
the trouble is an acute condition
like appendicitis administration Of
1axatives Is too often the cause Of
"a serious complication peritonitis.
