Weather permitting the first
practice call for baseball candi-
dates is expected to be issued
some time next week. In the
meantime efforts will be made to
enter the club in some circuit,
league meetings being scheduled

Plans are to first call baseball
enthusiasts together and select a
manager. Harold Kickul, man
ager the latter part of last sea-
son, says he is not a candidate
for the post this year but is an
xlous to help things get started.
The club has suits and prospects
for winning combination.
Among the graduates from the
junior league who showed promise
last year are Maynard Steele,
Dick Whiting, Jack Shaw and
Eugene Charlebois, while several
of their teammates who did not
see action with the Western Min
nesota league team will also be
aspirants for the nine steady jobs,
all of which will be wide open.
Last years club was badly in
need of batting power and it is
hoped to be able to uncover sew
eral players more consistent with
II cir basehits for this years ag-
gregation.

4 Messages at Once
Possible With New
Receiver at KIND

A radio receiver which is unlike
any other in existence in that it
tunes in four stations at a time
through one unit has been design
ed and built by the staff of
KIND, Redwood Falls criminal
apprehension radio station.
With four selecters, the receiv-
Ell allows communications from the
Twin Cities, Duluth and Ohio
and Indiana circuits during the
night, with possibilities of listen
ing to all four at the same time.
The Iowa police network and Twin
Cities are tuned in during the
daytime.
The cost of the outfit, made
here, is about that of one modern
receiver. 1t is built in units with
plugs which will Immediately dis
connect any part which might be
out of order, so that the rest may
be called into emergency service.
The power supply is strong
enough to last almost indefinitely,
even under the strain of "a hour
continual service. 1t furnishes
500 milliamperes, a so per cent
overload of power during ordin-
ary service. Most radio receivers
run at the peak of power when
ever they are in use.

TRACK PROSPECTS
UNUSUALLY GOOD
Coach Miller's Squad Strong
In Indoor Practice;
Seeks Meets

The Redwood Falls High school
track team will have an out
standing performer in nearly
every event if the marks that the
candidates are setting up in in
door practice are any basis for
anticipation. Coach Eilif Miller is
all smiles these days when some
one breaches the question as to
the prospects of his squad.
Norville Foreman is Coach Mil
ler's pride and joy and big things
are expected of the slim youth in
the half-mile and mile runs. Fore
man has been clocked at 2.26 in
the former event and 5.19 over the
longer distance.
Steve Inglis, veteran nigh jump
er, has been leaping feet 8 in
ches, an inch lower than his best
1885 mark, while Noble Starr, in
his first year of track, has been
showing rapid progress in the
event.
Tie Cardinal cindermen should
prove strong in the pole vault
with Harvey Farver, the leading
candidate, already doing nine feet,
a mark which took the event in
the district meet last year. Har-
old Lindeman has been giving
good performances in the 220 and
440 while the best century men
appear to be Ross Lussenhop,
Inglis and Bob Paffrath, while
Irglis leads for the hurdles. Moth
ing will be done in the broad jump
until the squad can practice out
of doors.
Tossing the IL pound ball SO
feet indoors, gives Paffrath the
honors so far with the shot. Out
doors where the sky is the limit,
Miller believes the gridder should
be able to clear AZ feet, another
mark which was good enough to
WIN in last years district meet.
Because of the lack of track
facilities here, Coach Miller is
compelled to seek engagements
away from home. One meet has
been scheduled for the final week
in April with Olivia, while others
are being sought with Marshall
and Tracy. Redwood Falls will
compete in the Carleton invita-
tional meet May 9, while the dis
trict tourney is set for May 16 at
New Ulm.

only repeat that he was trying
to get to Redwood" He had been
left in the automobile with an
uncle while his father, George
Gales, went to discuss some busi-
ness with Mr.. Baldwin. The uncle
left the child to walk uptown and
the boy decided to attempt to find
his mother who had been left in
the business district.
The police and later the fire de-
partment were notified after mem
bers of the Baldwin family and
neighbors had hunted for him in
vain. He was found at 9 p. m.
at the Jail where the two girls
who found him took him when he
was unable to identify himself.
