Sank Centre 3: Willmar q


One of the feature games of the
state baseball leagues was played
at Willmar Sunday when the Sank
Centre ]. ]. Kohn's defeated Will
mar by the score of to 0. This
was seventeen inning event, filled
with spectacular plays by both
teams.
Fisher, who pitched for the Sank
Centre team, allowed only four hits
to the Willmar batters as he hurled
the entire game. Denzer, the WILL
mar pitcher, allowed ten hits.
The Herald, following the Dec
Grafton Day and Sunday game,
stated that owing to the poor at
tendance baseball in Sank Centre
probably would be dropped. We UNI
derstand that an effort will be
made to revive the spirit and those
interested will be given an oppor-
tunity to express their opinion as
to whether it should be continued
or not. More interest than has
been manifested will have to be
shown before the committee can be
justified in continuing.
Next Sunday the local team will
play at Fergus Falls, and the fol-
lowing Sunday, June 81, will play
on the local diamond providing
proper arrangements can be made.
Fergus Falls is one of the strong
teams of the Big Five, and will
most likely be the next contenders
on the local diamond. They defeat
ed Lake Lillian Sunday by the
score of 8 to 2.

Want Bierman As
Coach ofAH-Stars
Local Fans Asked To Vote for Go
pher Players For All-Star
Team-Sign Petitions

In a letter from Dick Cullum,
sports editor of the Minneapolis
Journal, we are informed that des-
pite our national championship
Gcphers, Minnesota is in danger of
being overshadowed in the nation
wide ballot for an All-Star team
and coach this year unless we
combine our forces in united &C
ton.
Members for the All-Star team
and the four coaches for the an
nual game between the College ALL
Stars and National Professional
Champions, which will be played on
Soldier Field at Chicago this year,
are selected by a nationwide bal
lot. We want Minnesota boys on
that team and above all we want
Bernie Bierman to be one of its
coaches, and here is where the
Minnesota fans count. We have re-
ceived several petitions for the
purpose of balloting for your fav-
orite players and Coach Bernie
Bierman, and these have been put
in places about the city for your
convenience. When asked to sign,
please do SO and help elect your
favorites to the team. Other states
have their favorites and they will
vote, and already are out cam
paigning for mass of total votes.
Last year more than 100000 votes
were cast in the poll.
Official results of balloting will
be published sometime during the
latter part of July. The Minneapo-
lis Journal has set up a central Of
flee for distribution and tabula-
ton of ballots and petitions for
Minnesota.

Mustered Out of
Naval Service
Kenneth Mickey, Who Has Had
Four Years Sea Experience,
Is Visiting Parents

After four years in Uncle Sam's
Navy, Kenneth Mickey secured his
discharge from service and will
turn all hands to civilian life be
said on Monday upon his arrival in
this city at the home of his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Guy Mickey. He
was discharged from service at
Ncrfolk, Virginia, which point he
left on Friday noon.
In his four years he was for the
most part on the cruiser Chicago,
but several weeks ago was trans
ferred to the Indianapolis. For the
most part he has shipped in native
waters. He has travelled the coastal
waters of both eastern and west
ern United States, has bounded
across the Pacific to Hawaii, and
his last voyages were in southern
waters to Panama and South Am
erica. Two weeks ago he was init
lated into the Ancient Order Of the
Deep upon his first crossing Of the
Equator.
Pursuing a custom almost as an
cient as the sea itself, custom
that originated in the early days of
sailing vessels. Kenneth was made
a member of the Ancient Order of
the Deep. On the eve before the
crossing of the "line," Davy Jones
comes aboard and the court Of
King Neptune swings into session.
With all the lavish pomp and cere-
monial dignity of an English court
this ancient court passes judgment
on the pollywogs, those who have
never crossed the Equator before.
The shellbacks, who have been in
itiated into the order, carry out
the wishes of the court and heap
punishment on the humble polly
wcgs, who have been charged with
a misdemeanor. Running. the
gauntlet is a favorite initiatory ex-
ercise, and ducking in pool of
salt water is another. Often the
pcllywogs are made to stand a
four-hour watch wearing heavy
flying suits with a weather eye out
for the line. Since 1t is now winter
a. the Equator, it was too cool to
pursue this form of punishment.
Kenneth said the Navy is great
game, but is serious in his intent
to pursue civilian life now.

Fed. Survey
Government Representatives
Will Study Educational
Philosophy, Detectives
TO START FALL TERM
Will Include Examination of
Quality Of Work Done
and Study of Graduates

Sank Centre High School has
been signally honored through Sc

survey during the coming year, ac-
cCrding to announcement from

ton to make the survey, which will
cover the educational philosophy
and the purposes and detectives Of
the school. 1t also will embody re-
ports of studies and experiments
and examination of the quality of
work done.
The survey will be an examina-
ton of the school testing program,
and will include a study of the
present activities of the graduates
This study will be conducted to ga
Their data as to the number in at
tendance at the various colleges
and universities, and will include
a vocational survey of those who
are unable to go away to school,
and the work they are engaged in
or as to whether or not they are
employed at the present time.
The survey will be commenced
at the opening of the school year
in September and will continue to

The selection of the local school
as one of this group for federal
survey is a compliment. 1t speaks
we'll for the system of manage
ment and the work of the faculty,
and indicates that our school ranks
among the nations best high
schools. Reports of the survey and
its accomplishments will be pub
lished from time to time as the

Plan To Conduct
Patrol School
Schools May Select Two Boys To
Attend-Will Open About
July Is

According to recent announce
ment from the State Highway De-
partment a free school patrol
training camp will be sponsored
this summer by the American Lee
gion and the highway department.
These two agencies will finance
and manage an encampment at
Big Lake in Beltrami county.
Every public and parochial
school in the state is eligible to
name two boys to attend this camp
without cost to themselves or the
school. Schools having patrols
should pick two boys who will be
in the patrol next fall. Those hav-
ing no patrol may send two boys
and organize a patrol for the next
school session.
The highway department, which
has had charge of training more
than 200 school patrols, will con-
duct the training course at the Le-
gion camp. Members Of the regular
state highway patrol will instruct
the boys in the best methods of
protecting school children from
traffic hazards.
The camp will open about July
Is, and will operate from five to
six weeks. Two hundred boys will
be accommodated at one time, each
contingent will stay in camp one
week. The program will be so
planned as to make it a real vaca-
ton for the boys, with plenty Of
recreation in addition to the patrol
instruction course. The boys will
be under the supervision and dir
ection of competent leaders select
ed by the Legion.
At present no one from Sank
Centre has been selected to attend
this camp. 1t Is too bad that the
camp does not include girls, as the
local school patrol is made up
mostly Of girls, who have been
very capable in their work. The
camp, however, will be an incentive
to interest boys in the patrols in
the future.

ask for a party ballot, as the three
tickets of the state, Democratic,
Republican and Farmer-Labor,
have been consolidated on one
large ballot. This is called the Con-
solidated Primary Election Ballot,
and is composed of three columns.

lican ticket and in the third ap-
pears the Farmer-Labor ticket.
Voters must exercise care in
marking their ballots this year, for
they cannot vote a split ticket. If
a voter casts his ballot for candi-

Democratic candidates, you must
continue to vote that ticket straight
through. You cannot switch to the
Republican or Farmer-Labor tick
ct. And likewise, you cannot switch
from the Republican or Farmer
Labor tickets.
With the large ballot the voter
will receive a small ballot on
which are listed the candidates for
nomination without party designa-
ton. This ballot includes the list
OF candidates for Associate Justice
Of the Supreme Court, Judge Of the
District Court of the 7th District,
and county officers where compe-
tition necessitates a primary con-
test. In this commissioner district
no county officers will appear on
this ballot.
Each party is represented on the
ballot by some Of it's best men,
and a variety Of candidates on each
ticket, will make selection rather
hard for some. Harold Knutson,
representative in Congress from
the Sixth District, has no opposi-
ton, hence his name does not ap-
pear on the Republican primary
