Invite Devils Lake,
Mandan Game Here

A movement to have the pro-
posed charity football game be-
tween Devils Lake and Mandan
high schools played on Hughes
Field, Bismarck, was launched
Monday by committee OF the
Bismarck Lions club.
The game, If arranged, probably
will be played this weekend.
Devils Lake last weekend is
sued a sweeping challenge to any
team in the state for q charity
game. Mandan accepted. but no
definite arrangements had been
made Monday.
The local Lions committee
points out that Hughes field Is
desirable, In that it Is a neutral
spot, and that, in all probability,
a larger crowd would turn out for
the game here than at either
Mandan or Devils Lake.
A telegram sent to p. H. Gill
liland, superintendent Of the Dev-
lis La5e schools, by w. E. Parsons,
president Of the local club, fol-
!OWs: Lions club Bismarck in
vites Devils Lake-Mandan charity
game to be played on neutral
field at Bismarck. Will guarantee
expense and stage game without
profit to Bismarck"

M. G. Folsom, Bismarck, was
one of the first If not the first
North Dakota hunter to bag a
deer as the first open season In
this state in 10 years began Mon
day morning.
At $40 q. m. Folsom sent bull
let from .30-calibre rifle through
the head OF a buck large enough
to be a heavy lift for two men,"
It was the first shot.
The deer had a four-point ant
Ter with a spread of about Is
inches.
Folsom bagged his deer in the
Missouri River bottoms about one
mile north of Huff, in southern
Morton county. In his party were
Walter Prachel and Kenneth Pc
terson, both Of Bismarck, who
planned to return to the bottoms
Monday afternoon in quest Of
more big game.
Those antlers are going right
up on our mantel for good and We
are going to eat vension for some
time" Folsom said Monday short
ly after he brought down the buck.

been stranded in q cow pasture until
Sunday when Loewen and Lawrence
Jolle, local parachute jumper, after

He raised the ship to a height Of be-
tween 800 and 400 feet and had
circled the island. As he was turn

Loewen suffered crushed skull
and numerous broken bones from the
impact.
A doctor was summoned from Min.

CORONER TO HOLD
AUTOPSY TO FIND
CAUSE OF DEMISE
Foul Play Hinted as Victims
Watch and Pocketbook Are
Not Located
LIVED IN AREA 43 YEARS
Indications Are Seen That
Heart Disease May Have
Caused Death

Apparently dead for several
weeks, the body of Gustaf Eliason,
60-year-old bachelor, was found in
his home at Baldwin early Sunday
afternoon.
Eliason had been a resident of
Burleigh county for 43 years.
Though Burleigh county authori-
ties found no marks of violence on
his body or no circumstances in Ella
sons home which might indicate he
had met death by foul means, the
bachelors watch and pocketbook
were missing and no food was found
in his house.
Carl Eliason, Bismarck, brother
of the dead man, said Gustaf Ella
son was accustomed to sleep in his
heavy underwear. When found. the
Baldwin man was clad only in q light
shirt, wore only one sock, and was
,only partially covered by the bed
covers.
Autopsy Is fl0nneu
An autopsy on Eliason's body was
to be performed Monday afternoon,
wv. E. Perry, Burleigh county cor
oner, said.
sEliason's brother said the dead
man always had been in the "best
of health" Indications pointed to
heart disease as the cause of his
death. Eliason usually locked his
house at night and in the day time,
his brother said. The house was un-
locked when his body was found.
Two Of Eliason's nephews, DON
aid Eliason and Robert Eliason, liv-
ing six miles southwest of Baldwin,
found the body shortly after l o.
clock. In Baldwin late the previous
night, the two nephews had knocked
at their uncle's door, but, getting
no response, had left, believing that
Eliason was asleep.
Possibility that the man had be-
come i'll or had died late in Septem-
ber was expressed by Perry Monday
morning. A newspaper dated Sept
19, was found in his home while

have beseiged this bureau for

Martin means by that state
ment that a ballplayer, or com
pletely, a team, is much the wiser
for it's success by keeping its
head up at all times. He cites
the performance of the Griffmen
to date. If they had not been on
their toes they would not be in
their present contending position
"Walter johnson certainly
has done excelIently in keeping
the fellows on an even keel"
says Sir Miguel, "and that's
why most Of our games are
wOm."
Though johnson should get the
credit for keeping his players
stepping at all times, Martin
should come in for a good share.
All because he is the dispenser OF
the blues when this player or that
one becomes temporarily inactive
because Of an injury.
Keeps Spirits Alive
A PLAYER has to keep in the
spirit of the thing even though he
is sitting on the side lines. And
Sir Mike keeps the players in just
that spirit.
All the while he is rubbing out
that certain i'll he talks to his
subject. keeps him in a high
geared frame Of mind, and as
sures him that he will be back
in there socking that old apple
or pitching his head off for his
team and Walter johnson ere
long.
"The diamond stars Of today
are all babies" says Mike.
"and they have to be handled
like the welI-knOwn thin glass
because Of the Importance Of
keeping them on their toes
from play time to idle time"
Sir Mike brings out an inter,
esting illustration in the recent
case of Buddy Myer. timely-hit-
ting second sacker of the Griff'
men. Buddy hurt his wrist in
one of the games on the western
trip, and the hurt was so ir'
ritable that Myer visioned broken
bones, a long lay-off and the
hideous task Of getting back into
stride.

Most Straight Losses

Now, lest someone bring up
the matter of the most con-
secutive games lost, let us re-
cite just a bit of history in this
connection. The most games
lost at home are 10, by the
guess, you're rightly the BoS-
ton Red Sox when they drop
ped 19 from May 2 to May "a,
1906.
Twenty-four seems to be the
high-water mark in games lost.
at home and abroad, the old
Cleveland National League club
dropping that many from Au-
gust 26 to September 16, 1899.
Cincinnati dropped 10 from Sep
tember to %, in 1914, and
the Boston National Leaguers
equaled this mark from May
II to June 8, 1906.
Then, when the Boston Ameri-
cans made a league record of
games lost at home with 10.
back in 1906, they also made
an American League record of
20 games lost in succession, be-
cause the last game on the
road previous to the 10 defeats
at home had been dropped.
This record of 20 straight
games lost was tied by the
Philadelphia Americans 10 years
later, from July 81 to August 8,
1915. The Louisville ColonelS
Of the American Association,
hold the all-time record for
straight defeats, losing 26 from
May % to June %, 1889.

Griffs' Record o. x.

Since the Macks won but 13
games on the road this last
trip. the record of the Griffs
19 years ago is not jeopardized.
But the record that is in
danger. So far as the American
League issconcerned. is that of
the White Sox with 10 consecu-
tive victories straddled over
one locked game.
The National League has
fancier records, by several
games, than the American
League with reference to win
ming streaks. Two teams have
won 26 consecutive contests.
The New York Giants of 1916
went from September 7, the first
game of a Labor Day double
header, to September 80 to win
26 games. the while participant
ing in one tie. All these games
were played at home. and
despite this Giant winning
streak, they did not win the
pennant, Brooklyn beating them
out.
In the old National Associa-
tion before the organization of
the National League. the Bos-
ton club won the same number
of consecutive games. 26. with
out any tie figuring in the
process.
Such may be dry reading to
many, but it will be enlighten-
ing information to no few who
have called personally or tele-
phoned to get the precise status
of the Mackmen in their truly
thrilling squirt through the
American League to date.
