ever put on at any of the commence

commented on by the audience who
were more than pleased with the pre-
ciSion and snap of the proceedings
marking the event.
A program presenting all the details
had been printed and long drawn out
announcements of the various numbers
were dispensed with, the printed pro-
gram calling attention to the routine
which was carried out with promptneSS
and dispatch and not a flaw in the
procedure.
A most imposing sight was presented
when the handsomely attired gradu-
ateS of the high school marched to the
stage and assumed their respective
places to the strains of the process
sional March of the Priests" played by

COOK BASEBALL
TEAM DEFEATS
ELY In opener
Manager Ernest Madden Signs
New Pitcher for Sundays
Game With Chisholm.

With Lefty" Hogan, lanky first base
man for the visitors, leading the assault
on three Ely mound performers, the
Cook baseball team defeated the Ely
diamond performers, 18 to 4, here Sun
day in the opening game of the season
for the locals.
Hogan's individual efforts with the
bat accounted for four hits, three of
which were homeruns. In addition to
| the three circuit blows, he also drove
in four other runs. j. Reichel and
Matt Urick also had good day at bat
for the visitors with three hits each.
Hendy, Cook hllrler, had the Ely club
at his mercy most of the game, allowing
but four hits. Two of Ely's four
counters were scored in the fourth
frame with two safe hits and the aid
of a walk and error. Ely got two more
in the fifth on an error, hit batsman
and two hits.
Ely'S mound talent was cratic and
Shaky. Elmo Kukko started and got
through the first frame in fine form
Hogan greeted him in the second inn
ing with one of the longest hit, right
field homerunS ever seen at the local
park. A single and a double in the
same frame produced another score
Kukko again ran into trouble in the
third by allowing the first three men
up to hit safely. Hogan came up and
lifted his second homerun of the day
over the fence. Barney Banks re-
ieved him on the mound but was wild
walking three men and allowing several
hits. When the inning was over, Cook
had added five runs to make their
total 7 to o. Bert Madden also pitched
several innings.
Cook added three runs in the fifth,
four in the sixth, two in the seventh
and their final two in the eighth.
Ely made all of their runs and hits in
the fourth and fifth innings, going
hitless in all of the other frames.
Outside of their pitching which was
weak, the Ely team showed well in the
field and did alright at the bat con-
sidering that Hendy, the Cook pitcher,
is regarded as one of the best mounds
men in these parts. The game gave the
locals an opportunity to show their
wares to Manager Madden and his
assistants with the result that several
of the rough edges will he smoothed
out.
Manager Maddern has announced
that he has secured a top-notch pitcher
as a new member of the Ely team.
The new moundsman, Peter Petrich, is
a former Ely resident but now makes
his home at Gary, New Duluth He is
a University of Minnesota man and
comes to the Ely club highly recon-
mended. Last Sunday he pitched a
winning game for the Gary club against
the powerful West Duluth team.
A strong increase in attendance was
registered at Sundays game and it is
expected that a capacity crowd will turn
out for the Chisholm game Sunday.
with the fine support of the fans and
the addition of a new pitcher to a
proven well-balanced field, predict
brilliant season for the local club" said
Manager Madden.
