CARDS, REDS
 WILL REPLAY
 MAY CONTEST

NEW YORK, June 9.-Ford Prick, president of the National League has ordered replay of the disputed Cincinnati-St Louis game of May IA. The game will be replayed as part of a doubleheader at St. Louis August 20
 The game has been in the books as a 7-to-6 victory in ten innings for St. Louis, but Prick has been studying a Cincinnati protest, and decided in favor of the Reds.
 The dispute arose in the sixth in- ming, when Dusty Cooke drove out a long hit, which struck a beam just below the pavilion roof in Sportsman's Park and. dropped back into the playing field. If the ball had struck inches higher or inches lower it wou' / have gone into the stands for a homer Umpire Lee Ballanfant ruled it a triple, how ever. and Cooke died" on third as the inning ended
 If he had been allowed a homer, as the Reds claimed, Cincinnati would have won the game 6-5 il nine innings.

 The jinx that has dogged the Moose all season was working over time through the seven innings of last nights battle. Their squeeze plays would not click, their sluggers famed in the pinches and all their mightiest efforts went "biooey." Even the return of Fritz Schmitz to his post at second base to put the touted Pap infield intact on the diamond for the first time this sea- son, did no good.
 That Jinx
 The jinX must have been sitting gleefully on Kimball's shoulder as the Moose moundsman saw his chance for a no-hitter blasted by the last man to face him in the last inning. It was Dave Turner, in the role of pinch-hitter who ruined

 Close Decision
 There was one out charged agains the Islanders in their last turn a bat after six barren innings whe Jensen received his gift of firs base. Then close decision wen against the Moose when Jensen wa adiudged to have stolen second, fol lowed closely by another adverec and hotly debated ruling, when { balk was called against Kimball and Jensen advanced to the third cush ion from where, following a fs for a second cut, Turner drove hii- home with the tally that counted

Bardi, breaking into the game for he first time this season, had nothing to do in left field for the Moose, but connected squarely in 9oth his trips to the plate, only )eing kept from hits by neat field ng.
 Robbery
 Though only one hit went on the books against Kimball, he owes a lebt of gratitude to Fritz Schmitz, who on his first chance since his comeback, robbed Lonny Grant of ! seemingly sure bingle over second. Manning also gathered in beauti- 'ul catch, on a foul fly which he adhered out of the third-base bleachers.
 Ernie Fautz, new Moose, broke into he game with 500 averages for both hitting and fielding; collecting an assist and an error plus one single n twice at the plate. Grant, Doug .as' new catcher, saw his hitting av- craze dwindle as the outfielders 7hifted their positions to come in under his short drives.
 Though weather looked doubtful his afternoon. there is play-off of a postponed game on tap for this evening, as there is every non scheduled evening except Saturday until the back games are caught up. With the Moose and Islanders nally working off their thrice 'elayed game last night, the next contest on the slate is that post ,Oned from May 29, bringing the ElkS and Moose together
 Game Tonight
 Originally scheduled for a nine inning Sunday contest, the game is now to be cut to seven innings for this evening at 6:30 o'clock at Firemen's Park. Hurling nomina- ions for the battle will likely be Big Mac" MacSpadden for the Moose and Bud Foster for the Elks. There is still a chance that last nights battle may have to be played again, as the Moose management is considering a protest of the balk decision that paved the way for Douglas score.

st. Paul, Feb. Failure Of un-

in the clearing of claims for bene-
fits.
Unemployed workers should
state the full business name and

their claims, to make possible

of employers and workers, Frank

Workers separated from jobs
should ask their last employers for
the employers name and registra-

be shown on claims for benefits.
Unemployed workers who fail

GLENWOOD SKI
TOURNEY SUNDAY

More than fifty northwest skiiers
some of them with marks Of dis
tinction, will come to Glenwood's
92-foot 5000 ski tower Sunday
February 18th, in a tournament
sponsored by the Glenwood Ski
Club.
More than a month now commit
tees, appointed by club president,
Louis Robards, have been working
to make this one Of the most color
full winter events In years. Last
week volunteer workmen scrambled
up the steps to the tower showing
the slide, employing the bucket
brigade method, for hosting the
snow to the 90 foot level.
Most interesting will be the work
of Eugene Wilson, Coleraine, who
in the Bush Lake Tournament
forced the famed Berger Ruud, to
exert himself in order to beat Will
son by a scant one foot.
Glenwood's own contribution to
ski artists, Tuddy Kaldahl, Is one
of the roster. He was one time
holder Of the National boys cham
pionship. Others are the Wilson
brothers, Of Coleraine, both ma
tional champions in their own
class, Sverre Freidheim, holding an
envialble list of championships, and
the Mangseth boys, good jumpers
in class B.
