Junior Baseball
Team Defeated
Travelled to st. Cloud Tuesday
Eve-WiI Enter Competition
At Litchfield

The Junior Baseball team, spon-
sored by the American Legion, and
managed by Vern Soltau, went
down in defeat to st. Cloud Tues
day evening by the score of IA to
2, when the locals travelled to st.
Clouds home grounds. The boys
deserve more credit than the one
sided score is willing to give them.
Because some of the boys have
been unable to practice for the
past two weeks, their activities
have been at standstill during
that time, and they were slightly
off color. The battery for Sank
Centre were Decree, pitcher, six
innings, Bud Soltau, one inning
and Walker, catcher.
Friday morning the team goes to
Litchfield and meets Granite Falls
in the first game Of the Legion
teams tournament at 500 A. M. If
they win the first round with Gran
lite Falls they have the opportunity
to come back on Saturday and try
their luck with Little Falls. Mr..
Soltau is anxious that some Of the
business men offer the use Of their
cars for this game. Three cars will
be needed and it will be necessary
to leave about 6 a. m, to get there
in time to warm up for the game.
Those who can get away for a half
day are urged to see Vern Soltau
at once. The tournament ends the
regular competition season for the
locals, but they still have plenty OF
stuff left in teams in the surround
ing territory to give them some
good games.
Only last week the Legion Post
outfitted the team in proper base

Plan Home
Talent For
Stearns Fair
Hope To Purchase Merry-Go-
Round-Book High
Class Shows
FOURTH FLOWER SHOW
Arrangements Made To Care
For Larger Exhibits
Increased Premiums

Members of the Junior Chamber
OF Commerce, of st. Cloud, will
present an all-Stearns County
program at the Stearns County
fair to be held in this city August
10th, 18th and 18th. Hence, they
are seeking home talent for the
program on Sunday, August 18th,
which will be ST. Cloud Day.
Advices from St. Cloud Tuesday
state that this will not be a con-
test, rather a demonstration of
the talent available in Stearns
county, and efforts will be made to
have each community represented
on the program. Persons able to
entertain in any way can write to
the office of the junior chamber
in st. Cloud, and make a contact
for the program.
The program contemplated will
be a unique departure from the
usual fair entertainment. Dancers,
singers, musicians, comedians and
other people able to give platform
entertainment are being sought. In
addition to the smaller acts, there
will be at least one large band and
drum and bugle corps.
This feature is being arranged as
an event to promote good will
among the various communities
and cities of the county, and is be-
ing held on Sunday to allow all
residents of the county to attend.
Last January at a meeting of
the Board of directors, the fair as
ISOLATION went on record against
the booking of any organized car
nival. During the past years it has
been necessary to allow carnivals
to show at the fair in order to Sc
cure merry-go-round and other
rides. There are possibly nine mer-
ry-go-rounds in the state and
practically all of them are carni-
val owned.
This action necessitated other
arrangements in securing a merry
go-round, hence, on the recommen-
dation of County Superintendent
Garland Taylor, the directors APP
pointed a committee of two to in
vestigate and ascertain the pos
sibilities of the purchase Of mer-
ry-go-round from the Village of
Kimball. Kimball acquired the
merry-go-round several years ago.
The investigation was made and
the ride was booked for this years
fair on percentage basis, with an
option Of purchase, and in the hope
that it could be kept in the city.
The committee met with the City
Council Tuesday evening and that
body sanctioned the fair boards
proposal. Owing to the fact
that storm ruined the canvas
covering for the merry-go-round, 1t
has been planned to erect wood
structure to house the riding de-
wise. This will be done as cheaply
as possible. The purchase of
the device has been made neces-
sary by the action Of the board in
refusing to book csrnivals and the
barring Of these companies from
the city by the Council.
It is planned, however, to have

Victory for Sanity
Team-GOod Game
ANOTHER ONE SUNDAY
Northern League All-Stars
Will Oppose st. Cloud
Team on Local Diamond

st. Clouds regulars defeated
Willmar in an interesting baseball
game Sunday by the score Of to
3. The event held at the Stearns
County Fair Grounds, in this city,
was sponsored by Robert Swift
Post American Legion. The crowd
was satisfactory, hence, another
game has been booked for next
Sunday at which time the North
ern League All-Stars will meet st.
Cloud on the local diamond. This
game will commence at 400 o.
clock sharp. The reason for start
ing the game at later hour is to
not interfere with the large band
festival to he held at the City Park
Sunday afternoon.
The Northern League All-Star
team, Of Minneapolis, is made up
Of players, who have seen service
in the Northern League on such
teams as Brainerd, Winnipeg,
Crookston, etc. It is said to be a
very fast organization, and a very
good game may be expected at the
fair grounds next Sunday. The adj
mission will be Csc for adults; chill
dren under IA will be admitted
free.
The offering last Sunday started
with a bang, when Hanson, lead
off man for Willmar, the visiting
team, cracked one out to right
field for put out; Bjorke famed
and Theis was taken out, Rausch,
second, to Theis at first. Rausch,
lead-off man for St. Cloud, hit
safe; Kobenia was out on a third
strike bunt; Smith hit safe and
Rausch went to third; Hamm fan
ned on an attempted squeeze play
and Smith was caught out when
the catcher threw the ball to Sec
ond.
In the second inning Willmar
threatened when after Westby had
famed, Gerdahl and Schneider re-
ceived free transportation. How
ever, Rosemark, young st. Cloud
pitcher, steadied and famed the
next two men. st. Cloud went out
in order.
In the third inning Rosemark,
who was quite effective in the
pinches, and who had wonderful
support from his teammates, show
ed signs Of becoming wild. He
walked M. D'enzer, first man up,
but on the next batter executed a
double play, when he fielded Han
sons grounder, making the throw
to Hamm, shortstop, who covered
second, to retire the walking Den
ger and on the relay to first took
Hanson. The next two batters,
Bjorke and TheTs, received passes
to first, and Westby followed with
hit, scoring B1orke. Theis was
caught at third, to end the inning
with one score, three walks and
one hit, which was of very
scratchy variety.
st. Cloud, in the last half Of the
third, garnered enough scores to
win the game. Davidson hit safe;
Rosemark was safe at first on an
error at short; Rausch hit safe
and Davidson scored; Kobenia
walked; Smith hit safe and Rose
mark and Rausch scored; Hamm
followed with hit and Kobenia
scored; Weisbrich hit into a dou-
BILE play, pitcher 70 second, second
to first; Winter received a walk,
and Wahlberg was out short to
first, with the third inning ending
4 to 1 for st. Cloud. This ended st.
Clouds scoring, although in the
fifth, sixth and seventh there
were opportunities.

CAMPAIGN MAPPED
FOR CONSERVATION
Formation of Clubs in
Schools Sponsored by
Montgomery Unit.
Dispatch to The Star.

opeClhA bispatCn to Ahe Ss"A'
ROCKVILLE, Md, July 29.-Forma-
ton of a conservation club in each
public school of Montgomery County
will be an important part of the con-
servation campaign sponsored by the
Rockville Chapter Of the Izaak Wal
ton League Of America, 1t was de-
cided at a meeting of the Publicity
and Education Committee Of the
chapter here.
The idea was suggested by Owen
Knight, a member of the committee,
who is on the faculty of the Takoma-
Silver Spring High School, and the
committee decided to attend the next
meeting of the Montgomery County
Teachers Association to interest that
group in the project.
In an effort to enlist the co-opera-
ton of the farmers Of the county,
members Of the committee, 1t was
decided, will attend meetings of the
various farmers organizations and
give conservation talks and show mov-
ing pictures of wild life.
Violators of the fish and game
laws and ways to curtail their dep
relations were discussed by the COM
mittee. Insistence OF strict enforce
ment Of the fish and games laws was
decided upon and 1t was also stated
that appeals to those who have been
disregarding these laws to desist from
hunting and fishing out Of season and
join in the conservation movement
might bring results.
