It's getting so now, what with Daffy

THE Old Fox mention of first place
is both interesting and something
new in an official way. Not even the
Nationals themselves have been talk

few weeks have they dwelled upon
the happy thought of finishing as
high as second or third.
The rise in the Washington

the players themselves and the
fans and critics, has been a re-
markable event this year.

GR|FF'S OPTIMISM
|SSTRAT0SPHER|C
As Yanks Skid, Washington
e Magnate Eyes Cost of En-
Iarging Stadium.
BY DILLON GRAHAM,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

)LARK GRIFFITH, owner Of
the Washington Senators, has
begun to take an interest in
the price of lumber and the
hire of carpenters.
Fall still is long way of, but it is
entirely possible, Griffith thinks, that
he will have to do some building at
his ball park in October.
Others in the sports world have
conceded the American League base
ball pennant to New York, but Grit
fifth has his doubts. He won't say the
Yankees will and he won't say they
won't, but he'll be surprised If they do.
Confidentially, he feels his own Sena-
tors have right good chance to fin
ish on top. So he's keeping an eye
on lumber costs because a pennant
would call for world series bleachers.
How Griff Sees It.
SOME ridicule Grifith's optimism,
- but the "Old Fox" just frowns
and starts in to explain how his bar
gain-counter Mats are as good as any
of the others.
Take the Yankees now he said to-
day, checking off on his fingers the
results of New York's last seven games.
I'VE whipped 'em The last game
here" he asserted. "Thel Cleveland
took two out of three, and those White
Sox came along and turned the same
trick.
Five lickings out of seven starts.
Huh! Not SO good. Their lead won't
hold up if they keep on losing series
like that.
This poor week may be the sign
that the Yanks have cracked. They
haven't had a serious slump all year
and they've got one overdue. And
when it comes they may slide down
with the rest of us.
Teams Spirit Best Since '33.
ITS been that slugging that has
carried them along. Their pitch
ing has been terrible They seldom
finish games. Yep, the Yanks have
topped in late season for the last four
years and they'll probably do it
again"
Griff thinks Cleveland. Detroit.
Boston. Chicago and Washington all
have a chance to win. OF these he
favors his own club.
We've got a purity durn good
chance to win." he said The boys
have better spirit than they've had
since 33. It's a good club. with
strong requirements and our pitch
ing stacks up about as good as that
Of the other teams. Another advan-
tage we have is that we can win on
the road. We've won more games on
the road than at home"

This Week Nav Tell Story.

This Week May Tell Story.
pUT 1t wasn't until Detroit lost
~ Greenberg and Cochrane, Cleve-
land again gave signs of faint-hearted-
ness, Chicago got of to poor start
and Boston cracked Up, that Bucky
Harris team generally was regarded
as a first-division threat. Now, with
the Yanks seemingly faltering. Griff
says anywhere from first to fifth"
II think we'll all know more about
it," he continued. by the end of this
week. Detroit. for instance, has five
games in New York today, tomorrow
and Friday II the Yanks are skid
ding and the Tigers are capable of
getting along without Greenberg and
Cochrane, this series ought to prove it.
Here in Washington we'll
know more about our club and
the Indians. IL we do well
against Chicago and Cleveland
in the next six games you can
put Washington down as a def
mite pennant contender"
This sort of an observation, of
course, wouldn't come from Griff but
the gist of the whole American League
seems to be that there isn't a first
class club in the race. They all have
flaws, and big ones. but then, too.
what's the difference? 1t has all the
earmarks of grand stretch run.
Many time lot of selling platers
will put on a finish that stake horses
couldn't improve on.
Evening star., 1936-07-15

The Yanks haven't any better
chance than Detroit or Washington.
Past performances prove that in Aug
ust and September they are the worst
club in the league ~The Yanks are
starting their annual slump early this
season."

league pennant races, Clark Griffith
rises to voice the opinion that the
next four or five days are likely to
tell the story of the 1896 American
League scramble.
Ye Olde Foxe, who somehow seems
to have been left out of recent revised
local ratings of the contenders in Will
Harridges circuit, was summoned to
the witness stand today to answer a
few questions. Everybody else in town
is being asked these days whether the
Yanks really are tail-spinning, whether
the Tigers can do it again and whether
Washington can be counted as a flag
contender. So it seemed only natural
that Griff be sounded out.

Griffith, will finish anywhere

MarkVille Man
Is Victim Of A
Strange Assault

Emmett Quinn, manager of the
Consolidated Lumber Co. at Mark
vile, was victim of slugging in
his office Saturday night. A stranger
entered with a handkerchief conceal
ing the lower part of his face and
was armed with a gun and short
piece of hose. He attacked Mr.. Quinn
who attempted to get the gun from
him. In the melee Mr.. Quinn was
knocked to the floor While the vic
tim was down the stranger took Il
scale weight and beat him on the
head. During the scuffle the gun
was discharged and possibly fearing
that others would be attracted by the
report, the stranger disappeared.
Mr.. Quinn was apparently too dazed
at the time to think clearly, So
wrapped his head in a towel and
went to bed. The next morning, how
ever, he reported the matter to his
brother, Alfred, who took him. to d
doctor to get his wounds dressed.
Sheriff Hannes Rypkema was sum-
moned, but so far no clues as to the
identity of the stranger have been
discovered. The victim has many
friends in the community, but insofar
as is known, there are no enemies
who would do him bodily harm. 1t
is thought that either the affair is
case of mistaken identity or the stran-
ger was criminally insane.

The State and Higher Education

| land in which to establish a univer-
sity. Two townships were granted
and later when Minnesota became a
state additional lands were apprcpri-
ated amounting in all to over $4,000
| acres. The Legislature in 1851 created
the University of Minnesota, to be
located at or near st. Anthony Falls
and elected a board of regents to
manage it. A small wooden build
ing was erected near where the old
East High school of Minneapolis was
long located.
Such were the slender, humble be-
ginnings of this university sc years
| ago. When, few years later, the
| regents of the university found them
selves with building appropriation
of 100000 year for six years, the
president of the board is reported tC
! have said that he thought Minnesota
would be greatly displeased if the
University, with that sum, did not
build all the buildings it would ever
need.
In recent years the University has
made coed her declaration of indie
pendence. 1t is undoubtedly best that
tie full management of this great
institution should be lodged in the
Board of Regents and made remark
ably free from political interference
and domination. However, the Uni
versity has not quite been able to cut
the apron strings which tie her to the
state. The legislature still remains
the fOster-mother of the Universe v.
At any rate, the maintenance ap-
preparation for the University allowed
by the Legislature amounted to So
225.OOO in 1881, $3.275,OOO in 1882
s2,SOO,OOO for each of the years of 1888
and 1884, and $3,1OO,OOO for each OF
1885 and 1896.
Rapid Growth.
We wonder what the president OF
the Board of Regents of the early
eighties would say if he could cast
his eyes upon this appropriation to-
day. The amazing growth of state
universities has outstripped all pro-
phecy. Our own University of Min
nesOta was not born a giant like Paul
Bunyan but verify it has grown more
rapidly than the Paul Bunyan stories
And the University now flourishes in
our midst as a veritable colossus. Its

CONSERVATION
SPEAKER HERE
A Good Talk is Illustrated
by Cartoons, Pictures to
ASkOV School.
Speaker Says Indian Was
A True COnServa-
ZIONIST.

Some one once said that one pic
ture is worth 10000 printed words anc
it is apparent that many high school
students throughout Pine county Will
agree to that old expression, due tc
the fact that A. c. Kelly of the State
Conservation Department, visited sew
eral schools and gave enlightenine
chalk talks on conservation. Mr.
Kelly was accompanied to Askov by
Charles Beckman, game warden from
the southern end of the county, and
was introduced to the audience by
him.
In launching his recital to the
Askov school Wednesday forenoon.
Mr.. Kelly said that it was not neces-
sary to come here to give the defini-
ton of the word, conservation,
since that could be found in the die
tionary to mean, 1.-The act of saving
However, his real mission was to show
how to save and what to save.
In his talk Mr. Kelly dwelt upon
the past and present situation in the
lumber industry; how the lumber
barons" had taken the trees from the
country without a thought as to fu-
ture supply; how they had taken the
best and wasted the poorer grade.
The speaker discussed, fully, the ami
NAL and fish life and in this discus
sion told of the real cOnservationist-
the American Indian-whO wasted
nothing but put everything about the
game he killed, to use.
Discusses Needless Waste.
MIR. Kelly condemned man for max
ing of Gods sparkling waters con-
taminated pools or streams by his
sewage and refuse; he told of the ter
rible waste of forest fires, saying
that if all of the fires which happen
each year were placed in one area,
they would burn over a space as
large as three eastern states. In 9TH
er words he described the tremendous
waste of fires as destroying enough
timber in one year to build five
room bungalow every 100 feet on each
side of the road from New York city
to Chicago.
The speaker offered suggestions as
to ways of keeping the present supply
of timber, game, water resources and
other priceless resources which are
left today, and in this connection
stated that the large paper mills of
today have their own forests which
they keep planting in order that their
source of supply may not be exhausted.
The speaking was not only interest
ing from the standpoint of speech,
itself, but Mr.. Kelly added to its in
terest by various drawings and car
toons, with which he brought his sub
jects home to his listeners. His talk
was not only timely but very educa-
tional, for he gave reasons why there
should not be lust to kill when one
goes hunting but rather the beneficial
and sportsmanlike attitude of taking
just enough for use and conserving
its health giving heritage.
