4 statement released from the
State Department the Legion is in
terested in the fact that all boys
may have chance to play the
good OF American sport. They are
not interested in championship
Is merely the incentive
offered to get a following. The
state championship meet looms up
close to home this season with the
meet scheduled at Willmar, neigh
borhood city.
"Play ball" with the nasal
twang of q clustering umpire
will ring out In our fair city
for the first time on May 10
maybe the last time II Sank
Centre doesn't show IL wants
baseball. The 1895 champion
amateur j. j. KOhns team of
st. Paul has consented-in fact
they offered-tO play under the
flaming banner of Sank Centre
this season. And the sponsors
behind the scenes are the gen.
tlemen of the Athletic club
we've been wondering where
they've been. The Kohns outfit
are a fast club and Sunday af-
ternoon, May 10 will see them
in action In competition with
either q cOlOred team or the
Willmar team. Advance ticket
sale will make the boys behind
the enterprise feel better since
gate receipts are the only Wis
ible means of support.
It's long hop from the early
baseball season to the gridiron, but
we've gotta do 1t. Coach Harvey
the man who PAGES the sideline:
while the boys pull bum play, an
nounced that about thirty fellow!
greeted spring football enthusiast
ically on last Thursday and Fri
day evenings. In fact so enthus
iastically that some of them are
suffering from condition known
as sore muscles. Track, prepare
tory to the district meet to be helc
in this city, will be under way a.
soon as the weather permits. Thu
pit for the jumpers and pole vault
ers has been dug and all that ham
pers now is the weather. Which i.
out of the sphere of even thj
coaches. It's great football wealth
er, though, and the boys take to i
like fish to the water.
Robin Hood is the guy that
made it famous and genera
tons since then have not lost
the skill of the long bow. For
saking modern firearms, i'm this
our modern day, plans are be-
ing laid in this city for the for
nation Of an Archery Club.
Stewart Whitehead and Doc"
Cole are heading the Organiza-
ton and have already built sew
eral bows. If enough interest is
shown, It is planned to join the
National Club-and mayhap in
a few years someone will be
eligible to compete i'm a state
meteor somep'n. At any rate
it's q dandy sport, and arrows
will probably be flying toward
the target-Or near tin short
order. Ho hum. It's old man
weather again. Ala time wait
ing on him. Reckon we're born
on the wrong side Of the
equator.
The ring off.-Some fear is e2
pressed for the success of the Ii
gion Junior team if somethin
should happen to the Kohns tear
this year. The fear is that if boy
might see how baseball goes in tn
hole-we're just supposing-the
might lose heart. No need for tina
as we see it. The baseball player
of tomorrow will come almost er
masse from the Legion ranks, an
those who stick will get their re
ward.-Happy thought-Ought t
be enough to keep young peopl
busy in Sank Centre this summer
baseball, tennis, golf, swimmin.
and we hope archery. Heard ru
mors of the formation of a Saul
Centre rifle club. Obstacle for tina
seems to be funds.
