HARDELL DESIRES
TO QUIT GRID, TOO
Too Much Strain, Says Hap,
Resigning as Cinder
Coach at Tech.

r. LINER P. chap HARDELL,
~ who has compiled the most
successful all-round coaching
record in local scholastic his
tory, today admitted he would like to
be relieved Of foot ball duties at Tech
High School following an announce
ment that Artie Wondrack will sue
coed him as track coach.
The wiry. likeable mentor, who has
played an important role in the eleva-
ton of schoolboy sports here, feels
coaching saps too much from him
physically and prefers to revert to the
position of mechanical drawing in
structor, which was his original berth
at Tech.
Hardell, however, still plans to coach
next seasons foot ball team, but ex-
planned foot ball physically is more
difficult for him to manage than track,
and eventually he plans to desert the
coaching realm altogether. He has
no plans to take up coaching either
in collegiate or prep school circles, nor
does he desire to shift to the new
Anacostia High.

SEATTLE'S WIZARD

Versatile Henry Strand Is
Ozark Horse" in Tourney
Starting Today.
BY BILL DISMER, JR.

IT'S prosaic to speak of the college
foot ball team that makes q cross
country trip for a single game
= these days. but have you heard of
the man who's come 5000 miles to
Washington to bat q ball with his
hand up against the side Of q wall?
1t wasn't the pomp and ceremony
Of Inauguration, magnet of thousands
Of other visitors, which induced Henry
Strand to come all the way 70
the Capital from Seattle, Wash, but an
event which, starting as soon as the
echo Of the last footstep in today's
parade has died away, he has his
heart set upon winning.
For Strand, three-sports champion
Of the Pacific Northwest, is, above all,
q hand ball wizard, and the national
championship Of the four-wall tourna-
ment being sponsored by the Central
Y. M. c. A. for the rest Of the week is
his highest goal.
HAND BALL, as popular on the
West Coast as is golf or tennis in
the East, is, however, only one Of
three athletic endeavors In which
Strand excels. The 25-year-old printer
from the Seattle Y also is the 100
yard swimming champion and best
rifleman of the Pacific Northwest,
which section is composed of the States
of his own native Washington, Oregon
and Idaho.
The visitor. who lost eight pounds
making the transcontinental train
journey and will enter the tournament
at 1863 pounds. has been the hand ball
champ of his territory for the past two
years, having captured the title in
every sectional Y. M. c. A. and A. A. U.
tournament held during that time.
There are only two national Journeys
each year-the one starting here today
and the one which will be sponsored by
the A. A. u. in March.
You don't have to talk with Strand
very long before you realize he Is as
colorful as Larry Kelley. His opinion
of his chances In the tournament
drawing every outstanding hand ball
devotee in the country is as simple as
it is astounding: Il will have the
championship trophy for company on
the long trek back to Seattle
Built on the same lines as Barney
Welsh, the District tennis champion,
Strand is tall and wiry, standing
slightly over 6 feet.

fetal report released by Paul H.
Kirk, state agricultural statisti-
clan.
The county had a four year
average through the drouth per-
iod of a fraction over 80 bushels
to the acre and produced 13,017,-
500 bushels of oats in that time.
The four year high reached in
1885 was 5,229,000 when 10000
acres sowed to oats yielded an
average of As bushels. Hail
throughout the county cut the
1896 yield to 3,303, 800, an aver
age of 33 bushels to the acre. Pro-
duction was 1855, 200 in 1884 and
2,532, 900 in 1888.
Ranking first in the state in
oats production for four years,
Martin county produced 14,059,-
800 bushels. Renville county was
second with 13,072,9O0 and Fari-
bault fourth with 1855, 300.
Redwood county also justified
its reputation as one of the top
ranking agricultural sections in
the state by taking seventh place

Thrill Day
STATE FAIR FEATURE,
CAPTAIN WARD, TO
APPEAR HERE

The Redwood county fair will
offer a thrill day. program this
fall, comparable with the featur-
ed attraction at the Minnesota
state fair.
Contracts were signed Tuesday
with Captain Bob Ward, who is in
charge of Thrill day at the state
exposition, to bring his company
here Thursday, September 80, for
a full afternoons program of
breath taking performances.
To make room for the attrac-
ton fair board members scratch
ed one day of horse racing, NOV
ing the program scheduled for
Wednesday up to Tuesday after
noon and the Thursday program
to Wednesday.
Captain Ward, who staged a
short program on Mill street
early this summer, wired his &C
ceptance of the contract from
Winnipeg where he is performing
at the Manitoba fair this week.
Contact was made with Ward
soon after he was here and a
program of more hair raising
events than those staged before
1000 to 5000 persons at the free
showing was worked out.
The Redwood fair will be the
only county fair in the state to
offer the attraction this year.
The program, which is expected
to swell the last days attendance
far beyond any previous record,
will include rolling over in car
at high speed in front of the
grandstand. Two men on motor
cycles will crash four board walls.
A man, lying on the hood of a car
travelling go miles per hour, will
crash through a solid, flaming
board WITH HIS HEAD. A
daredevil will step off the back
of a car travelling at 60 miles per
hour. A car will leap through
three flaming hoops and come out
af1ame and another car will drive
through 80 sticks of dynamite, all
as part of the mad afternoon of
thrills.
For those who may miss the
afternoons performance, a half
hour show in front of the grand
stand has been arranged that eve
ming.
