Staged Successful Ra d i o
Broadcast Over
WCCO

Over 200 people, including the
band, made the trek to Minneapo-
lis with Sank Centres On-to-Nic-
ollet delegation Tuesday The exact
number Of people in attendance
cannot be stated as automobiles
filled with baseball fans and Sank
Centre boosters left this city from
early morning until late in the az
ternoon. Many arrived too late to
register at the West Hotel and for
that reason were unable to get re-
served seats with the Sank Centre
delegation at the baseball game.
It was necessary that the band
arrive in Minneapolis at the West
Hotel at five o'clock, in order to
participate in the fifteen minute
broadcast over WCCO. The broad
cast included four selections by
the band and a five-minute talk by
D. B. Caughren. Following a tele-
gram which requested the appear
ance Of the girls trio, Marion Ar
neson, Laverne Holler and Eunice
Svenneby, it was revealed that one
of the girls was not present at the
studio. Arrangements for that
event on the program, could not
have been made without an audi
ton, according to the statement of
DR.. p. w. Hanson, who received
his information from the WCCO
management. The broadcast was
excellent and the officers Of the
Community Club and members of
the committee were well pleased
with the splendid cooperation of
the announcer and the manage
ment of the station. The broadcast
took place from 5:45 to 900 p. m.
After completion Of the radio
program the delegation returned
to the West Hotel where they re-
ceived refreshments, as guests of
the Minneapolis Civic and Com
merce Association.
At the appointed time the Sank
Centre people headed for Nicollet
Park where they edged through
the huge milling crowd to take
their places in the local section
and witness the night ball game,
scheduled to start at $50 p. m. The
reserved seats and grandstands
were filled to OVERLOOKING with one
Of the largest crowds ever In at
tendance at Nicollet park. The
game was interesting, although
Minneapolis had the edge all the
way, and slid into first place in the
the league by virtue Of the seven
to one victory over the Columbus
Red Birds. Three home runs, some
excellent plays in fielding and of
the double variety, added zest in
the game for the visitors from
Sank Centre. Walter Tauscher
pitcher q superb game and had
the Columbus birds eating out of
his hand throughout the game.
The Millers' new lighting system is
splendid, and we must agree, night
baseball is successful.
After the game was completed
the local delegation started to
wend their way home, some leav-
ing Immediately, others remaining
to attend a show. The trip, 1t
seems, was made without mishap,
and those who attended all state
they had an excellent time.
More of the people Of Sank Gen.
ire should have taken the oppor-
tunity to attend this event, for 1t
was staged as a community event
by the Community Club. In the
past we have heard people say:
"Sauk Centre is dead. Why don't
we put on something like Podunk,
or Metropolis?" Well, we did,
and many of those who usual
ly ask questions of that kind were
not present. Sank Centres Onto
Nicollet day was a greater success
than last year, considering the
greater number Of people who at
tended this year. Sank Centres
booster delegation had splendid
time in Minneapolis Tuesday.
The following is the radio ad-
dress as given by D. B. Caughren,
President Of the Community Club:
Sank Centre is just Ill miles
northwest of Minneapolis by paved
highway. It isn't a very big city
the population is only 3,O00-but it
is rather famous and those Of us
who live there consider it a very
desirable place to live. Sank Gen.
