Sank Lake
Back To Its
Normal Level
Recent Heavy Rains
Recall High Water
of Former Years
LOWLANDS FLOODED
Similar Condition
Existed Way Back in
~ or '13 Say Citizens

Sank Lake began its return to a
normal level this week after tons
Of water, sent down in recent heavy
rains, had crashed over the dam,
completely flooding the river flats
to the east of the city for the first
time in more than twenty years,
residents here said.
Residents who looked out over an
inundated river bottom, with it's
watery expanse stretching over the
Doggy pastureland from the rise Of
Ash street to the banks quarter
of a mile away, recalled that around
1928 a similar condition had ex-
listed.
c. e. Parkinson, mill worker at
the time, said this week it was at
the time the old mill dam threaten
ed to break. He and Fred Lewis
and a crew of men worked for sew
eral days with sand bays to rein
force the threatened structure.
Resident near the flats since
1912, c. E. Bohall remarked, II re-
member it was flooded last when a
chatauqua was playing where the
Mondloch home now stands. Some
of the show people came over to ask
If there was good fishing in that
lake."
Mrs. M. v. Weeks can remember
the year since she used to watch
her father, Albert Swami, make his
way down the road and through the
water that had risen over the grade.
Now nearly IS years later the
flats are flooded again. Pasture
lands stand with water too heavy
for the normal river flow to carry
it away.
A. E. MacDermond, Water, Light
and Power Commission secretary,
said that Sank Lake was returning
to its 11-foot norm this week after
tons Of water had spilled through
opened gates. In spite Of efforts to
keep the level constant, eight
planks had been removed to spill
water, the lake had raised about
six inches. Tuesday with the aver
age level return assured, five planks
were replaced. It was estimated
that the lake, without removal Of
the dam planks, would have risen
more than foot.

Country Clubs tournament chair
man, Cliff Gandrud, this week cross
ed his fingers and announced an
ambitious program of golfing events
for the balance of the summer,
heading off with the first of the
weekly events scheduled for this
evening, Thursday.
The finger crossing ritual Is a
necessary bit Of precaution taken
by Mr.. Gandrud, since his chief,
President Of the club, Lloyd Blyc-
ker, is convinced there's jinx dog
ging his administrations weather
jinx that puts the crimp in all the
golf plans of the club this season.
So with that simple bit Of care
fulness-and they say it has latent
powers-Mr. Gandrud plunged reck-
lessly into program of golf that
will see a host of tournament ar.
rangements.
This evening, Thursday, the reg
ular weekly handicap medal tour
neys will begin. Operating on the
same plan as last year, these tour
naments are held for local mem
bers. Officers are asking the coop
Grafton of all members to make the
events successful.

tournaments. Match play will start
at ten o'clock to enable entrants
from other clubs to participate. En-
try fees will be the customary one
dollar with flights of eight. Trop-
HES and awards will be offered in
all flights.
Mr.. Gandrud has asked that al
score cards be turned in to care
takers during the week to be USED
as a basis for handicap arrange
ment.
To get back to Mr.. Blycker'!
jinx. They're hoping it won't rair
because three tournaments schedul
ed early this year were rained out
One scheduled on May list brought
rain, and on May 9Th it showed
One really can't blame them.

InvitatiOnal
Golf Tournament
Largest Event For Women
Ever Held at Country
Club Golf Course

Two strangers to the course
were topflighters Tuesday when the
Niblick Club sponsored ladies invi-
rational tournament, the first this
summer, dotted the Country Club
links with an entry list Of 46 golf
ers.
Low for the nine hole straight
round was Miss Mary Musser, of
Little Falls, with 48. Topping the
remainder of the field was Mrs.
Hastings, Alexandria golfer, trailing
one stroke with a 40.
Believed to be the largest single
women's event the local Country
Club has seen, Niblick's tourney
drew an entry from Little Falls, st.
Cloud, Alexandria, Long Prairie and
Wadena.
In spite of a course sizzling in
the hottest day Of the year, 46
strobe the course on the nine-hole
round, and the attendance jumped
to IS to include the afternoon
bridge and luncheoh.
Low score for putting was enter
ed by Miss Sheehan, st. Cloud, and
Miss Meyer, Little Falls. Low on
combination holes were Miss Chyba,
Long Prairie, Mrs. Kiewel, Little
Falls, and Miss Jane Strebel, Of this
city.
This inaugural event for ladies at
the course was a banner day for
caddies, and a shortage Of the bag
toters doomed as the entry list swell
ed in the morning. During the al
ternoon informal rounds were play
ed while the others played bridge
following a 1890 o'clock luncheon
at the Tavern.
This event served as beginning
for a weekly ladies day at the
course. Mrs. Andrew Nelson, tour
nament chairman, announced loo
al ladies tournament next Tuesday
morning with tee of scheduled at
900 a. m. Each Tuesday the events
will take place. All local golfers

Bill Parker
Withdrew AS
Candidate
DR.. r. C. Radabaugh,
of Hastings, New
COP Chairman
SERVED ONE YEAR
Did Excellent Work
AS Head of State
Central Committee

w. M. Parker, of Sank Centre,
formerly chairman of the Republi-
can State Central committee, with
drew as a candidate for reelection
to that position Friday, in the inter-
ests of party harmony. He held the
office for a year, first as an ap-
pointment and later being elected
to the position.
The Minneapolis Daily Star said:
BILL prevented the least semblance
of an old-guard-Young Republican
showdown and the II nominees for
state office and congress and the
1SO or so members of the state CEN
trail committee went back home
oozing with the appearance of har-
mony."
When the nominating committee
reported two names for state chair
man, DR.. r. c. Radabaugh, of Hast
ings, and William NJ. Parker, Of
Sank Centre, Mr.. Parker announced
his withdrawal.
News reports said that Mr.. Park
er might have made quite a show
ing in a showdown vote, but by his
diplomatic withdrawal speech he
put the quietus on anything which
might smack of dissention in the
party.
Sank Centre people regret that
Mr.. Parker withdrew, as all feel
that he did a very good job while
he was chairman; nevertheless,
most of them feel happy in the fact
that he will again be at home
among his people.
The new officers are:
DIR. r. c. Radapaugh, Hastings
chairman.
William R. Mitchell, Tracy-vice-
chairman.
Victor E. Michaelson, st. Paul
secretary.
Waldo Hardell, Minneapolis -
treasurer.
Mrs. Hazel K. Daniels, Minneapol-
Estate chairwoman.
Mrs. M. L. Spencer, Winona-
vice-chairwoman.
DR.. Radabaugh was chairman Of
the Stassen for Governor Volun-
teers and chairman likewise of the
Dakota County volunteer unit which
initiated the campaign for Stassen.
All the other officers likewise are
new with the exception of Mrs.
Daniels and Mrs. Spencer.
Accepting in a friendly spirit the
verdict at the polls June Goth, men,
bers of the new central committee
deferred generally to the wishes OF
Stassen supporters in effecting the
reorganization Of the party leader
ship and in shaping up the plat
form recommendations to be SUBJ
mitted to the party convention in
September. The program went
through unanimously and with gen.
eral accord on the part of all
groups.
Attorney Victor Michaelson, who
has been elected as secretary of the
state central committee, is a broth
er of Mrs. George Berggreen, of
this city.
Governor Benson has accepted
Stassen's challenge to debate, plans
for which will be worked out later.
The Governor wants to debate on
the question as to why the Repub-
lican party should not be returned
to power on it's record of the past.
Stassen, however, wants to debate
on the record of the present admin
istration. Stassen has suggested
August 26th as the date for the de-
bate.

Previous Year, Boxing
Commission Reports.
-Copyright, A. P. Wirephoto.

A marked upward surge in local
boxing was registered during the span
from May 81, 1887, to May 20. 1888.
1t has been revealed with the release
of the fourth annual report Of the Dis
trict Boxing Commission.
With an increase of S32 sol 01 over
the total gates of 1861, the report
also disclosed gratifying increase in
average gate figures More than S540
per show was taken in last year than
in the preceding year. chiefly due to
the appearance here of Freddie Steele,
world middleweight champion Lou
Ambers, world lightweight champion;
John Henry Lewis, light heavyweight
ruler. and Henry Armstrong, who later
became featherweight king.
A total of 66 shows. AZ of which
were professional. enticed Sl45, 1880
through the ticket windows for an
average gate of s2,2027o. While the
total gate figures are below those of
1886 by more than $4,000, the aver
age gate figures are the highest during
the 4-year history of legalized boxing
here
The leading card of the year, in so
far as money is concerned, was the
Police Benefit Association show. fea-
turing five 10-round bouts, with the
Steele-Hobo Williams scrap and Lou
Gevinson- joey Archibald bout fol-
lowing in that order These were the
only cards of the year to hit five fig
ures. with the police bouts drawing
s16,705.
Bob Pastor and Buck Everett lured
the most stable gate to Turner's
Arena at S2,465, with the bout involv-
ing Gevinson and Irish Eddie Dunno
and the second battle between George
Abrams and Jimmy Jones following
closely.
Although a total of 523 bouts was
staged during the year. split decisions
were rendered by the referee and
judges in only 81 and only two YER
diets were criticized by two or more
newspapers. These were the Jorge
Brescia VS.. Bob Tow and Steve Mama
