Judging partial list of prize win

The Sandstone band was the out
standing feature of entertainment and
was enjoyed by everybody. The base
ball game between the Willow River
team and the Old Timers was played
on the First lake diamond, the Ola
Timers winning by a score OF to Z.
The weather was perfect and large
crowd attended. After the activities
of the day the baseball boys gave
dance at the Riverview pavilion
which was also we'll attended.
Old Timers Win.
The Willow River fair crowd had a
real treat when they saw the Pine
County Old Timers baseball team de-
feat the local unit of the Pine County
league by the close score of to Z.
The younger players-the leaguers
found that the Old Timers are not
to be meddled with. Such Old Timers
as Jack Cunningham, Wilcox, Simon
sen, Phil Anderson, Jens Hyldahl,
Whiting, Won Schenk, and others who
are still in good trim though past the
35 mark, can give any amateur team
a good run, and some of the players

when they are actually playing ball
are not to be sneezed at either. There
is that staunch little Beccue on sec
ond base who is not to be outdone.
He connected for a two base hit as
did also his colleague, Simonsen, ana
Clegg with the leaguers.
Westman, at short, may not have
played much ball of late years, but he
gets around fast and does not appear
muscle bound at all. Since Woodbeck
got to handling air mail he has also
increased his speed. Biedermann, p.
Peterson, and others are still some
distance from being what you call
rusty When you see some of those
Old Timers in action now and note
how they love the sport it makes you
think that they have missed their
calling.
Quick Ending.
The only Won Schenk so far as is
known, in America, hit the ball hard
enough to make three bases on one
trip to the plate, and quite cunningly
when catching in the last inning, shot
h. TO OF cfnrhy fret ha O.
man, Jack Cunningham, and caught
a Lacquer too far off the base for the
last put-out of the game.
1t remained for one Of the leaguers
to give the hardest push to the ball

Simonsen made a beautiful catcf
of high foul ball back of third base
where he chased over rough groun(
and twisted his body half way arount
to spear the pill. Out of condition HI
would have had to use crutches for ;
week to overcome that experience
Phil Anderson was steady at pitchin,
and did the job up brown.
One of the features of the game wa
the good umpiring by Oscar Carlson
of Sandstone, and Eddie Clough o
Willow River. They attended to bust
ness strictly, but on top of that the,
are of the good natured type and tn
fans enjoyed it. Some of the fan
tried to work Oscar a little by callin
strikes occasionally ahead of his de
cisions. 1t may have worked once o
twice-this advance shouting -som
seem to think it debut if so it di
not work for long, for Oscar know
what a strike is and later in tn
game when you could hear some @
