JUNIOR LEGION
LOST TWO GAMES

It takes more than a six foot two
hundred FOUNDER, by the name Of
Shipstead, to scare out these Jun
Tor Legion baseballers. For last
Friday evening, with the weather
hot and oozy on pitchers arm.
the lads stood up before the fast
offerings Of the Brooten chucker
and swatted out some handles.
Although the local boys pounded
out enough hits and got on base
on errors sufficiently to chalk up
eleven runs, the Brooten boys were
out ahead Of them at the close Of
six innings with II runs. In six
innings % runs is q lot Of ball
game for the money.
In view Of the fact that Ship
stead Is a sophomore at st. Johns
University he is not eligible for
Junior Legion competition, but
then 1t developed that Brooten
does not have Legion team. So
the local boys were playing above
their heads and out Of their class
Friday evening. On the mound for
the locals was w. Soltau, from
who the Brooten boys took 8 runs.
and then relieving was Decree,
minute size chucker, who allowed
four runs In his second inning at
the rubber.
In the field Bud Soltau made
several nice catches when it looked
like the fly was going for a nice
clean hit. Outstanding work on

ert Rydholm who has held the first
sack position all season.
After three straight games on the
local field during the past week
and a half, the Legion boys hit
the road again this week. Tuesday
evening they played Melrose on
the southerners lot, and Friday
night they will meet Alexandria on
foreign soil.
Looming as one Of the boys who
made good last Friday evening Is

the regular, Denny
Ethun, who was absent from the
roster, Jim attracted the attention
Of manager Soltau. He is said to
have plenty Of snap on that pill
when he laces out, and can hold
runners on base. He seems to be
able to hold the pitcher too.
For the second time during the
current week the Junior Legion
took defeat when In
twilight game Tuesday evening
the Melrose group won in 5 to 2
six inning encounter. The two de-
feats came as the lads prepare to
play in the sub-district tourna-
ment to be held in Melrose next
Wednesday evening. This marked
the second defeat at the hands Of
the Southerners.
Heavy in the fielding order was
cleanup man Don Deziel, who on
second base turned in some nice
plays. Rydholm deserves honorable
again for his performance
at first. Ethun stood out in the
batting order collecting 2 Of the
local hits. From Soltau, mound
man, the Melrose boys garnered
seven hits earning five runs.
This evening Thursday, the
boys go on another out Of town
