Sank Centre
to Join Q. I.
W.League
Junior Chamber of Commerce
Decides to Sponsor Base
ball Team This Season
A 14-GAME SCHEDULE
Strong Board of Directors
Named-Plenty of Talent
Should Succeed

At the meeting of the Junior
Chamber of Commerce held at the
Community Club rooms Tuesday
evening Vice President DR.. w.
Johnson presided.
The question of taking the Sank
Centre Boys band to Fargo to pre-
sent a radio concert over Wday was
discussed. The matter was laid
over until word had been received
of definite date.
DR.. johnson, C. G. Mullen, Ralph
Steffes, Ed Borgmann and c. j.
McLain attended a meeting held at
Duluth recently by representatives
of the six units in the state looking
toward the definite organization of
the Junior Chamber of Commerce
in Minnesota. DR.. Johnson was
elected secretary of the Duluth con-
ference. The organization of the
state was held in allegiance for the
time being. DR.. johnson, Charles
Miller and Nolan Gilbert were
elected to represent Sank Centre at
a state meeting to be held later.
The question of whether or not
the Junior Chamber should sponsor
a baseball club for Sank Centre the
coming season was widely discuss
ed. The sentiment was almost
unanimously in favor of the Junior
Chamber to take the sponsorship
and to enter the Club into O.. T. w.
league. This league will be compos-
ed of teams in Melrose, Sank Cen
tire, Long Prairie, Browerville, Ber-
tina, Swanville, possibly Alexandria
and Osakis.
The equipment used by last years
team is intact and there is a good
ly amount of baseball talent in this
city if it is properly developed.
At Tuesday evenings meeting it
was felt that all of Sank Centres
Civic organizations should be rep
resented on the Board of Directors.
The following have been named as
directors: A. J. Weisner, John
Mondloch, Walt Gritzmacher, S.
Deziel, Ed Nathe, Ed L. Rattle,
Louis Borgmann and A. j. McLain.
Henry ThlegS has been named
as coach. This gentleman knows
baseball from home plate to out
field and back.
The board of directors will elect
team manager and the play
ers would elect their own captain
It will take more than a single
season to build up a team to COM
pete successfully with the strong
teams always out in the field by
Long Prairie and some of the
towns, but Sank Centre should be
ripe for baseball and the Herald
believes the game will be well sup
ported, even though a green team
is not victorious in every game.
They must have the willingness to
scrap it out to the last inning of
every game.
The league season will open Sum
day, May 10. A schedule of IA
games will be played; seven at
home and seven away. All league
games will be played on Sundays.

Funeral of A.
Ingram Was
HeldApr. Is
Former Mayor Passed Away
At University Hospital
Tuesday Morning
NATIVE OF SCOTLAND
Buried In This City With Full
Masonic Honors WedneS-
day Afternoon

Former Mayor Adam Lieth In
gram, whose critical illness was
chronicled in the Herald of last
week, passed away at University
Hospital Tuesday, April IA, at 5:15
A. M.
It will be recalled that he under
went a major surgical operation at
the hospital, March 80. For sever
al days after the operation he was
apparently on the high road to re-
covery, about 10 days before his
death complications set in and
pneumonia was threatened.
Saturday of last week he was
greatly improved and the attending
physicians and nurses were certain
that he would make the grade. This
favorable condition continued dur
ing the daylight hours of Sunday.
He was getting along so well that
his brother George, of Regina,
Sask., Can, was considering return
ing to his home. In the early
morning hours of Monday the at
tending nurse began to notice that
he was having difficulty with his
breathing. When the physicians
made their Monday morning call
his condition had become alarming
Prior to this time his temperature
and pulse was normal. The
strength he developed was amazing
to the doctors, and in spite of the
unfavorable conditions of Monday
morning they expressed that he
would be able to recover. Late
Monday afternoon all hope of his
recovery had vanished. He grew
gradually worse and passed into
his eternal sleep peacefully early
Tuesday morning.
Adam ingram. was one of the
well known characters of Sank
Centre for a quarter. of a century.
Before locating in this city he lived
at Lincoln, Neb., for a number of
years. While residing in the Ne
braska city he formed warm per-
sonal acquaintanceship and friend
ship with Charles ], Dawes and
John ]. Pershing. At that time
Mr.. Dawes did not dream that he
would one day become vice presi-
dent of the United States. Neither
did Lieut.. Pershing vision that he
would become the head of the
American military forces in the
greatest carnage the world has ever
known.
Adam never married. For many
years prior to the death of his
aged mother in this city he devoted
his time to her comfort and happi-
ness.
In 1920 he was drafted as a candi-
date for mayor by a number of the
business men of the city who felt
the need of a man of his vigorous
type for chief executive of the city.
During his term of office he served
his constituency well.
Adam Ingram was a great lover
of the Ancient Landmarks of Free
Missionary. March %, 1910, he was
raised to the Sublime Degree of a
Master Mason in Star of the West
Lodge, of this city. Feb. IA, 1916,
he was exalted to the degree of a
Royal Arch Mason in Sank Centre
Chapter No. 40. When Pilgrim
Commandery, knights Templar
was constituted in Sank Centre in
June, 1917, Adam received the or
ders of the Red Cross, knight of
Malta and Knight of the Temple.
May %, 1920, he became a. Royal

resources for most of it. The British
were giving some assistance in the
transportation Of men. American ships
had carried up to November l, 67,21S
and the British 54,751.
Our Engineers In Fight.
The results of the British success at
Cambria were not to be permanent, as
the Germans quickly retaliated. Cen
eral Won, Marwitz hastily assembled a
force of some fifteen divisions, and
November 80 suddenly launched a VIC
lent counterattack. The British wera
short of reserves, and before Won Mar
WITT was stopped his troops had re.
gained most Of the lost ground.
1t was In this operation that de-
tachment of our Eleventh regiment Of
engineers became engaged while serv-
ing with the British. The men, to the
Number Of $50, were at work in the
Gauzacourt railway yard when the
Germans attacked. One officer and
nine men were wounded, and the de-
tachment withdrew. They were then
given arms and fought with the Brit
ish.
War Council Meets Again.
The second conference of the su-
preme war council was held at Yer
sailles December /. Our representa-.
tives, political and military, at this
meeting were Mr.. House and General
Bliss, respectively. At the opening
session NJ. Clemenceau drew attention
to the general situation, referring espe-
cially to the collapse Of Russia, the
probable release of enemy troops from
that front, the adverse situation In
Italy. the depletion Of allied man
power, and the reliance Of the allies
on American assistance.
+ The premier enjoined the military
representatives ITO bear in mind that
their function is to advise the su-
preme war council as a whole and not
merely as representatives Of their re-
spective nations on the council, and
that they should view the problems
confronting them not from a national
standpoint but from that Of the allies
as a whole"
The military representatives at this
conference were instructed to examine
the military situation and report their
recommendations as to the future plan
Of operations; to study the immediate
situation in Italy from the offensive as
well as from the defensive point Of
view, and to report on the utilization
of the Belgian army.
1t was evident that this body was to
become a kind Of superparliament
not only for the discussion. of re-
sources, aims and purposes, but for
| the determination of policies looking
to concert of action in support Of the
| military efforts. The spirit in which
the problems were approached at this
meeting made it clear that the SUI
preme war council would sensibly pro-
mote cooperation among the powers.
The second meeting of the inter-
! allied conference December closed
it's sessions. None of the questions
brought before the first session could
be settled, but they were taken up
by the more permanent body, the su-
preme war council, which, as time
went on, undertook to coordinate the
work of the various committees that
had been forced to handle the prob
lens involved.
