STURGEON BEATS,
KETTLE RIVER
Pine County Baseball Champions
Show Wares to NeighbOr Team
by Score of 6 to 2 Sunday.

The Sturgeon Lake baseball team
placed another nick in the stock of it's
baseball gun Sunday when it defeated
Kettle River in a well played contest
6 to 2.
Mack Anderson won his own ball
game by pitching a masterful game
and knocking out two singles and one
double driving in three runs. He
struck out ten batsmen and allowed
but five hits. E. Anderson pitching
for the visitors also hurled a fine
game. The hits were punched off his
deliveries in the second and fourth
innings to score four runs. In the
sixth a base on balls a hit and an
error by the catcher produced an
other run. The sixth run was made
in the eighth on two errors and a
stolen base. Kettle river scored one
in the first on base on balls, field
er's choice and an error. Their last
tally came in the sixth when M. Maxi
walked, advanced on an error and
scored on another error. One feature
of the game was a sensational one
handed catch by E. Nelson who robbed
c. MAXI of hit.
Following is the box score:
Sturgeon Lake 6; Kettle River 2.

Washington. August 26-When the
news and society columns carry items
regarding recent visitors at Rapidan,
the summer home of the President.
the average reader is not prone to
attach any particular significance to
it. However, news concerning the
guest of the Chief Executive over last
weekend, Walter S. Clifford, President
Of the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company, has an appeal to
every man and women of the country.
Mr.. Clifford will head the latest of
Mr.. Hoover's commissions, the one to
deal with unemployment and distress.
The Federal Commission on Unem-
ployment, which was headed by Colo
mel Arthur Woods, started out with q
tremendous bang, but after days and
weeks passed without any real ac-
complishments, Colonel Woods went
abroad to study European conditions,
and the public lost faith in the organi-
cation. 1t is believed by Administra-
tion leaders that the appointment of
a man of Mr.. Gifford's achievements
will have a psychological reaction and
hope will spring anew. We are told
by optimists that I'VE are too near
the mountain to behold its magnitude
and beauty" and that prosperity is
right around the corner, but it is be-
lieved that nothing short of genius
will be required to prove this to the

STATE TOURNEY
DATES ARE SET
Sturgeon Lake, Pine County
Champs Will Play for
State HOnOrS.
Minneapolis Junior Cham
Der of Commerce Will
Back Annual Event.

Sturgeon Lake, Pine county champ
ionship baseball team will take part
in the state baseball tournament to
be held in Lexington Park, st. Paul,
the week of Sept. 81. The Sturgeon
Lake team, fortified with good de-
fensive as well as offensive strength
will be an able representative in the
annual post-season play and fans
throughout the county are looking for
them to go far in the states higher
baseball hOnors.
The backing of the st. Paul Junior
Chamber of Commerce for this tourn-
ament was definitely assured at a
meeting of the state association held
in st. Paul last Thursday evening.
A. w. Carlson and Glenn E. Olson
represented the Pine County Baseball
league at this meeting. Joe Osborne,
a vice president of the st. Paul Junior
Chamber of Commerce was also in
attendance and he expressed the pur-
pose of his association to back the
tournament vigorously. He stated
that they have investigated the pro-
ject for several months past and they
have found that the loyalty and sup
port of the city of st. Paul should be
forthcoming, so, his association has
appointed committee that will stir
up interest and make the tournament
huge success.
Advance information indicates that
there will be between twenty and
twenty-five leagues represented in the
tournament this year. The leagues
throughout the state have shown much
interest in a tourney of this kind and
most of them have declared their de-
sire to enter their winners.
Drawings for the tournament will
be held early in September as soon
as the majority of the leagues have
decided their championships and reg
istered their entries.
The possibility of playing some
night games was discussed at the
meeting. 1t is possible that some
night games will be played if suit
able arrangements can be made.
Efforts are being made by the UNI
pires association to broadcast por-
tions of the games over WCCO.
An additional classification was
added providing more than six clubs
will play in this classification. This
classification will be known as class
C and will be open for such leagues
which believe that they have not suf-
ficient strength to compete in class B.

FARMERS LIKE
HENRY ARENS
Lieutenant Governor Well
Received at Northern
Pine County Picnic.
Tells How Senators Light
ened His Work, and
Urges Cooperation.

The picnic held last Thursday by
the Farm Bureau units of Birch
Creek, Windemere and Kerrick at
Lakeside beach on Sturgeon lake, was
one of the best picnics held by the
combined northern Pine county Farm
Bureau units, about $50 people being
present Picnic lunch was enjoyed
in the beautiful pine groves. The
reason so many attended was in a
large measure due to the fact that
Minnesota's farmer lieutenant COVER
nor, Henry Arens of Jordan, was the
speaker of the day. He was intro
duced by George Wallick of Hinckley,
president of the Pine County Farm
Bureau.
In opening his talk Mr.. Arens said
that the duties of lieutenant COVER
nor are many and sometimes trying
during the legislative session, but the
dear senators over whom he presided
as chairman last winter had made the
task so easy for him because they
took it upon themselves to do the ap-
pointing of the various committee
he did not believe he had spoiled the
chances for any other farmer to be-
come lieutenant governor of this state.
Urges United Action.
The main substance of the lieuten-
ant governors talk was on co-opera-
ton, telling the group about the work
that the Land O'Lakes had done in
the eastern markets, especially Phil
adelphia, where they had started and
still are selling directly to the re-
tailers and that the consumption Of
Land O'Lakes butter in Philadelphia
alone had doubled many times. He
told about how Senator Reed of Penn
sylvania, and others had accused the
Land O'Lakes of unfair competition
but that they had failed to prove any
thing. Mr.. Arens urged the farmers
to join the Farm Bureau and also
stated there is need, more now than
ever before for united action. Every
farmer should belong to the Farm
Bureau and should back up the county
agent" He also said that although
the older farmers may not be ready
to take the advice of the county agent,
the work of the boys and girls in All
Club work will build leaders for the
future and that is what rural Amer
lea needs.
The talk by Mr.. Arens. who is vice
president of the Land OLakes, was
well received. In introducing the
speaker Mr.. Wallick took a few min
utes to urge the adoption of the in
come tax amendment to the state con-
stitution at the general election in
1892, and asked all to work for it.
He also extended an invitation to
everybody to attend the annual meet
ing of the Pine County Farm Bureau
which will be held at Hinckley on
Friday, Sept. 4th.
After the speaking sports were run
off, this being in charge of Ross Bar
nett. 1t included broad jumping.
high jumping, and races, both run
ming and swimming.

4 NeU Form of
Baseball Started

A new form of baseball is being in
augurated in Minneapolis and is
known as Modified Baseball" VIM.
Fox, director of baseball for the
Parks and Playground Department of
the city of Minneapolis is the origina-
tor of this new form of baseball and
his wide experience as a baseball
player, having played ball in the
American League and finished his
professional baseball career with Min
neapolis of the American association
and as director of playground activi-
ties in the city where he comes in
contact with all classes of boys made
it simple for him to plan this game.
The game is played with ball 10
inches in circumference, an inch lar
ger than a regulation baseball and
of texture similar to a kitten ball.
The base lines are rs feet, the pitch
er's box IS feet, and it is only neces-
sary for the catcher and possibly the
first baseman to use a mitt.
This game was formulated with the
idea of permitting boys and girls
under 16 years of age to play a game
that will not hurt their future ability
as baseball players and eliminate the
expense usually contingent on the reg
ular game of baseball such as mits,
breast protectors, etc.
Billy Fox is great booster of the
national game and his object is to
develop ball players. The 10 inch
ball is nearer the size of regular
baseball than is the kitten ball. Mr..
Fox is a memeber of the tournament
committe of the association of Mime
sofa baseball leagues and is looked
to as an authority ON baseball by
the co-members of this organization.

Pine County Woman Was Teacher
and Among the FIRST Set
tiers There.

A celebration attracting statewide
attention and which will interest
many pine county people is the 18th
anniversary celebration or diamond
jubilee at New Prague on Saturday
and Sunday, August 29th and 3Oth.
On Saturday the completion of the
pavement through New Prague will
be celebrated and all day Sunday is
set aside in honor of the pioneers who
commenced their work in that COM
munity rs years ago.
New Prague which is in LIE Sueur
county, southwest of the Twin Cities,
was the nucleus of most of the Bo-
hemian development in the northwest
and is the mother community of many
Bohemian settlements in Minnesota,
the Dakotas, Montana and western
Canada. It has also contributed con-
siderably to the Bohemian population
of Pine county-a group who are good
citizens and have done their part in
the agricultural, business and cultural
development of this county. The
Czechoslovakians here have attracted
considerable attention through the ac-
tivities of their Sokol societies, es-
pecially at Pine City and Denham
where the gymnastic drills have given
entertainment to large groups of peo.
pie and better health to those parti-
cipating in the exercises.
Pine County Woman Took Part.
In the making of New Prague his
tory one of the persons playing a part
was Mrs. Frank Radly, now an old
and respected citizen of Pine City,
and mother of Mrs. F. J. Rybak whose
husband was for many years in the
general merchandise business in the
building now occupied by the post
office. Way back in the sixties Mrs.
