nu Browns are a ball club to
V( arouse sympathy. In the first
place the Browns never have
won pennant and their entire history
seems to be a story of adversely.
During the course of dropping into last
place yesterday the Browns got a bad
break when a kid in box seat
snatched a foul of Walter Miles bat
from the paws of Catcher Giuliani.
On the next pitch Millies sim
gied to tie the score and some
how you got around to feeling
sorry for the poor Browns when,
If 1t had happened to the Yanks
or the Indians or the Tigers, you
would have felt differently.
Sympathy, however, is something
the Browns don't need. This was ex-
pounded most emphatically by gen.
tleman who knows sll the answers to
questions concerning the st. Loueys.
Preferring to remain anonymous, ne
points with authority to (a) an amaz-
ing loyalty in st. Louis to the Browns.
(b) a better financial status than any
one suspects, and (c) a promise on the
part of the club officials to unite the
purse strings this Winter and really
put forth effort to have an improved
ball team on the field by 1887.
Hornsby Slated to Rebuild.
DROSPERITY, it seems, definitely is
i around the corner for the Browns,
and, contrary to reports that have
spread over the country, Rogers Horns
by will be at the helm again next year
to direct an honest-to-goodness re-
building program. The Phil Ball
estate, true, is willing to sell the
Browns, but regardless of this semi
anxiety to part with the club the di-
rectors have promised faithfully to lay
a hunk Of dough on the line at the end
of the season and leave 1t up to Horns
by to do the rest.
The job Of rebuilding the
Browns to such an extent that
they will resemble . high-class
club will, of course, take time.
Hornsby needs a first baseman,
second baseman and third baseman,
to begin with. The outfleld of Solters,
West and Bell is Jake" with Rogers.
who probably will shift Harlan Cliff
from third to the outfleld when he
grabs somebody to take his place. He
will need at least four pitchers.
Nevertheless the die has been cast,
it is reported, and If what the Browns
do sets any kind of fashion the
forthcoming American League on
season will be marked by the busiest
trading in recent years. Everybody
on the St. Louis club will represent
potential trading material, Hornsby
only having to determine In his own
mind the wisdom of any moves.

Bats Across Runs, Too.


IRON the start Chapman proved
himself to be 800 hitter and
lately he has done better than that
Getting IS hits In the last 80 times
at bat Chapman has shown a 469
average for the last week to boost
his season record with the Washing
1929 average for rs games, to be exact.
Scanning more closely his record as
o Griffman, Chapman takes on added
value. Ben comes pretty close to
being the best lead-of batter the
Nationals ever have boasted and, in
addition, he proves his worth other
than by reaching the base paths more
than any single player on the club.
In his rs games, for instance. Ben
has scored 10 runs and actually batted
across, from the lead-of post, total
of A runs. In the last three games
he has driven nine men across the
plate.
Ben clearly was the hero of both
of yesterdays victories, which found
the Griffs coming from behind both
times to add valuable wins to their
record as the third-place Indians split
with the AS and the White Sox and
Indians each dropped a double header
to the Yanks and Red Sox, respect

D. N. &N. WINS
SAFETY AWARD
President Carlson and Safety
Director Rohweder Receive
Bronze Plaque.

The Duluth, Missabe and Northern
Railway, for five consecutive years
holder of the lowest employee casualty
rate among class l railroads in group
D, was named winner in its group in
the annual railroad employees safety
contest sponsored by the National
Safety Council for all class l steam rail-
roads in the country.
The roads victory for outstanding
safety achievement was earned or a
basis of employee-casualty reports made
to the Interstate Commerce Commission
Twenty-Six other railroads competed
with the D. M. & NJ, in group D, a
classification which worked from g.
100000 to 100000 man-hours during
1885.
The winner reported one employee
death and four employees injured dur
ing the year for fatality rate of 20 per
l 100000 man-hours worked and an in
jury rate of 70. Its inclusive casualty
rate, based only on casualties deaths
plus injuries) incurred by employees in
train, train-Service and non-train ac-
cidents for each 1000 900 man-hours,
was 80, less than half the 1884 rate of

Won Lost
WPA Quota In Duluth
Area Is Increased 200.

AS a result of representations made
this week by Henry L. Morin, district
director, the WPA quota of workers in
the Duluth area was increased 200, ac-
cording to word from the st. Paul Office
of Victor Christgau, state administra-
tor. Under new regulations, the Duluth
district office will be permitted to retain
1900 relief workers on its payroll in
June, instead of being required to re-
duce the load to 1900, the quota first
set when WPA started, several weeks
ago, to make a gradual reduction in the
number of its workers.
In the negotiations to obtain higher
quota for June, Mr. NORM pointed out to
state officials that while it had been
possible to meet quota reductions up to
now, a continuation of drastic cuts
would work real hardship on many
persons, because there is little to in
dicate that there will be a materially
greater demand for labor in June than
in May.

COLLEGE PROM
fine EVENT
The Second of School Proms
Prominent as Preceding
High School Affair.

Following closely in the footsteps OF
the Senior-Junior Prom of the Ely
high school two weeks ago when in a
most beautifully decorated hall and be-
fore crowd of spectators that filled
every available seat in the auditorium,
the Junior College Prom took place at
the auditorium on Friday evening.
The auditorium at this time was also
decorated in most artistic manner and
dancers thronged the floor. The audi
ence was not as large as at the pre-
vious event, but nevertheless filled the
seats quite comfortably Music for the
dance was furnished by Tiny Specht and
His Orchestra and was pronounced the
best heard here in some time.
The dancers furnished colorful pic
ture. The grand march and its alluring
movement was led by the Misses Angela
Tratnik and Helen Anderson with Sulu
Kittila and Jack Beuk as partners.
Many intricate and artistically executed
figures were executed in the march by
the leaders followed by Junior College
and college alumni, almost filling the
spacious floor space.
Those having charge of the several
arrangements for the event are being
warmly congratulated on the success Of
the affair George Nicholas had charge
of the music; Kathleen Hillman, decor
ations; Anne Peshel, advertising post
ers; Anita Gordon, invitations; Ber-
niece Needing, programs, and Arthur
Seraphine, publicity.
