lgS of the Teams.

The leader fell notch Sunday when
Sturgeon Lake lost a multi-scored
game to Brook Park 81 to II, but the
second place club-N. P. S.-also fell
when it lost to FinlaysOn. Had the
n. P. S. boys won their game they
would have been tied for first place
with the Lakers but as it is Sturgeon
still heads the list. Finlayson was
the nemesis of the N. P. S. boys by
score of to 5. Askov lost to
Willow River on the latter's diamond
5 to and Sandstone beat Moose Lake
9 to 1.
Two more games remain to be
played in the regular schedule and
it is apparent that unless Sturgeon
Lake can be beaten one or both of
the remaining games that team will
win the second half
In the Brook Park game three home
runs were chalked up by the Parkers
with Mcclellan, Pearson and Hoag-
land doing the heavy work. In this
game "a hits were made by the win
ners and II by the losers. Included
in the "a hits that Brook Park made
besides their hOmers, were three three
base hits and six two base hits. Cum
ningham and Upgren of Sturgeon
Lake, also made a two Dagger each.

Fatal Accident Occurred
Near Bridge East of

A fatal accident occurred near the
bridge over Kettle river just east of
Sandstone village, yesterday afternoon
at o'clock when Mrs. Elsie Berry,
80, who resided at 54th Street and
Upton Avenue in Minneapolis, was
crushed and suffocated beneath a load
of hay.
F.. w. Runck of Osseo, had been
making hay in Section %, Sandstone
township, which is in the Sand Creek
neighborhood, and was returning to
Osseo with load of hay in his Ford
Model T truck. Mrs. Berry was a
passenger with him in the drivers
cab.
Coming down the steep grade which
the driver attempted to shift gears
and in so doing lost control. He
headed the truck to the bank in order
to avoid striking others on the road
and to come to stop. Mrs. Berry
jumped from the cab just before the
load tipped over but was caught be-
meath it, with the result that part
of the cab and rack struck her. Her
chest was injured and being pinned
beneath the truck and hay it was
thought that she also died from suf
location. Passersby helped to eXtri-
cate the unfortunate woman but she
had passed away before arrival at the
office of DR.. H. P. Dredge.

ASKOV MERCHANT
TAKES LIFE MATE
Pedersen.C Carlson Nuptials are Pro-
nOunced Amid Relatives I'm Brides
Pine City Home.

The wedding of a popular young
couple was consumated at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Carlson on
the east shore of Cross lake near
Pine City Sunday evening at o'clock
when their daughter, Mildred, be-
came the bride of c. Richard Peder
sen of Askov. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. d. w. Thompson
of the Presbyterian church in Pine
City in the presence of just the i'm
mediate relatives of the contracting
parties. Miss Margaret Carlson, sis
ter of the bride, was bridesmaid and
Rudolph Petersen, brother of the
groom, was best man. The ceremony
was pretty in its simplicity and immed-
lately afterward a dinner was served
to the guests in the Carlson home,
after which the newlyweds left on a
honeymoon trip after which they will
make their home in the north part
of Askov village where a home is in
preparation for them.
Miss Carlson is we'll known in the
Askov community as well as in the
southern part of the county, having
taught in the local schools for a two
year period about three years ago
and then again the past term. She is
an accomplished young lady of many
fine qualities which have endeared
her i'm the hearts of her associates
and Askov has gained much in being
chosen as her future home. She is
the daughter of hardy pioneer folks
who have done considerable toward
building up Pine county. Her father
was once superintendent of the quarry
at Sandstone and for the past several
years has been occupied, with the
family, in building a pretty farm
home on the east shore of Cross lake.
The groom is the son of Rasmus
Petersen of Askov, and is one of this
villages rising young merchants, hav-
ing owned and operated the corner
general merchandise store for the
past two years. He is conservative
and has good business judgment
which insures a good business future
for him. He, like his bride, comes
from good pioneer parentage. His
father, one of the old residents of
Askov, once owned and operated the
store which is now his and in which
he has been employed much of his
life. The elder Mr.. Petersen has
been trusted citizen of Askov, hav-
ing served on the school board for
81 years and other public offices at
various periods.
Many friends in and around Askov
will welcome the newlyweds to their
midst to take up housekeeping and
wish them long and contented mar
ried life.

eral Emergency Conservation Work
program.
Five new camps are assured for
state forests, five for state parks and
three new camps for water conserva-
tion, according to announcement by
E. V. Willard, commissioner of con-
servation. Water conservation will
also be stressed in the new camps on
both state forests and state parks,
Commissioner Willard stated.
State park camps will be increased
from five to ten, state forest camps
from II to II and the eight camps
engaged in soil erosion control work
will be augmented by three camps
with water conservation as the prin-
cipal objective.
ECW projects on state forests are
under the supervision of Robert T.
Smith and Alfred L. Nelson, state
parks under Harold Ostergard and
soil erosion and water conservation
projects are in charge of Walter S.
Olson, director of the division of
Drainage and Waters. Smith, Nelson
and Ostergard are executives of the
division of Forestry.

and picnic grounds arranged with
sanitation provided. The two other
state park camps have been proposed
for the Whitewater valley in south
eastern Minnesota and for Camden
park seven miles southwest of Mar
shall. 1t is hoped that eventually
this latter park will be established
as a state park. A total of $50 men
will be assigned to each of these five
new camps.
Improvement of the Ottertail
river with the immediate cleaning
out of weeds to facilitate flow will
be accomplished from three new

WINS FLAG
GOLF TOURNAMENT

A pleasant flag golf tournament was
conducted by the Hinckley Golf Club
on its course Sunday morning when
several players took part. DR.. H. G.
Swennes won first place with Pete"
Williams taking second.
Each player was given certain
number of strokes according to his
average ability and a flag which he
was to stick in the ground at the end

wave from about the 14th hole on.
Refreshments were served between
rounds and much good fellowship was
enjoyed during the play.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
By GEORG STRANDVOLD

Last week and this week mark the
twentieth anniversary of the actual
beginning of the World war: Late in
July and early in August, 1914, Au-
stria was the pivot of far-reaching
events, and so it is now again-at a
time when everyone recalls what hap
pened just twenty years ago immed-
lately after the Austro-Hungarian
government had sent its ultimatum to
Serbia.
Happening too late for inclusion in
last weeks international survey,
tragic events took place in Vienna,
and almost Immediately their rami-
fications extended to some of the Au-
strian provinces.

From out a maze of confusing re-
ports one central fact emerged, and
that is that Wednesday of last week

Heimwehr soldiers. brusQuely entered
the chancellor's palace in Vienna. A
little later some OF these men shot
Engelbert Dollfuss, Austrian chancel-
lor, and, according to some reports,
refused to send for a surgeon and a
priest; in the course of three or four
hours the chancellor slowly bled to
death.
To understand the situation read
ers must keep before them the fact
that there are three principal polit-
ical parties or groups in Austria; one
is the social democratic, now in a
state of inertia as a result of the
revolution in February; the other is
the Heimwehr (Home-guard) group,
comprising fascists of the Italian
type, and the third consists of fas-
cists of the German type, that is ma
tional socialists, or, nazists for short.
The Heimwehr group, supported by
Italy, insists that Austria's political
independence must not be disturbed
that is, to put it more bluntly, that
Austria and Germany must not be

beat TIE White Sox to 90 out

Detroit cracked in that drive
just as the Giants have cracked
in this race and the White Sox
drove hard to overtake them.
The league was in turmoil as
the leaders fought it out. Joss,
of Cleveland, beat the White Sox
and the Tigers beat st. Louis.
AS late as october 4, the result
was in doubt, but everything
turned out for Detroit, and every
thing may turn out all right for
the Giants.

There was that race on the old
Hilltop in New York in 1904 when
the Boston Red Sox beat the
Yankees when a pitched ball got
through Jack Kleinow and the
pennant went to Boston. They
charged Chesbro with a wild
pitch; said his splitter went out Of
control. Kleinow told the writer

caught the ball.

Speedboot
Driver to TRY
'Crusoe' Life

LONDON, Sept. 2S.-Far bet
ter to be a modern Robinson
Crusoe than to bear the "insuf-
ferable burden of taxation in
England" thinks Betty Car
stairs, Britain's foremost woman
speedboat pilot.
Accordingly, Miss Carstairs
has announced she is sailing for
New York aboard the Beren-
garia, Saturday, en- route to the
lonely little island of Whale
Gay, northeast of Nassau, in
the Bahamas.
Miss Carstairs has bought the
thousand-acre island, and plans
to "renounce civilization, and
spend the rest of her days
there"
Since she is reputed to have
a weekly income of $4,000, she
can still live a pretty civilized
existence, outdoing Crusoe by
hiring a whole flock of Fridays.
What peeved Betty is that
Britain took away most of her
$4,000 in taxes. She will still be
under the British flag in the
Bahamas, but not under the
tax burden. She is said to
have disposed of her property
in England.
She twice competed for the
HarmSworth International Mo-
torboat trophy at Detroit.

O'Neill Says:

CONTINUED from 1st Sports Page
Terry by a slight fraction of a
point.
Travis Jackson will come closer
to holding his own against Mar
vim Owen than any other in
fielder the Giants have. But
Jackson will never point with
pride to his record as a world
series player. In two jousts
against Washington, the first in
1924 and the second last year,
Jackson has a grand CD average
of 100 and high mark of .222
for a single series.
Comparing this with Jackson's
lifetime average of .298 for a
dozen years in the major leagues,
you may find one reason why
baseball critics shy away from
making statements that m g h
ring too positive. A world series
in any language is four or more
ball games. A great player in a
slump may be bust as Cobb was
at least once, and some mediocre
player may win a hero'S acclaim.
Can Thank Navin
Owen may thank the fortitude
of Frank j. Navin for being in
the world series this year in any
capacity save that of spectator.
You probaly recall that Owen was
with the Newark Bears two years
ago, and Newark, of course, is a
Yankee farm.
Owen was such a spectacular
player with Newark that the
Yankees offered $4,000 for him.
The Tigers, dragging along in the
second division, could have used
that so grand very nicely, but
Navin contended that Owen might
make the Tigers a pennant win
ner, in which event $4,000 would
be peanut money.
Last year Navin wondered if he
had made mistake. Owen was
sick most of the year and failed
to display, save in flashes, any
of the brilliant form that has
made him so outstanding this sea-
son. Bucky Harris, however, con-
tended that the boy was every
thing that this year proved him
to be, and Navin, convinced of the
Soundness of Harris judgment,
stood by the player.
