TOURNEY COMMITTEE
DEFEATED; KISE is
LOW SCORER

Four dauntless challengers came
to the Redwood Falls golf club
Sunday morning; they saw the
tournament committee and they
conquered them by II points.
They came in answer to an in
vitation from the committee to
meet any other four members in
combat. Now the victorious chal-
hangers challenge any other four
clubmen to a match.
Arlo Dickerson, Palmer Kise, f.
A. Johnson and J. T. Murdoch

turning in a 70 for low tally of
the match. The defeated commit
tee included Lorenzo Ziegler, Dale
Byram, Leon H. Brown and Char

Stanley Ziegler won the blind

ed at the course Sunday after
noon. Kise took low net honors
and Mrs. Dale Byram high net.
A sand iron is offered by the

OBSERVE CENTENNIAL
IN OLD TIME GAME
AT WABASSO SUNDAY

Playoff games in the Redwood
county baseball league will start
Sunday, August 6, with Wanda
entertaining Seaforth as a Crac-
ker day attraction and Wabasso
journeying to Delhi for the other
contest.
Winners of these games will
get three chances at the title in a
series starting the following week
at either Seaforth or Wanda,
which ever is a participant. The
second game will be played on
the home diamond of the other
contender and the third, if one is
necessary, at whichever place has
the biggest gate in the first pair
of games.
Preliminary to the playoff, Del
hi and Wanda played an extra
game Sunday to determine which
should have second place, some
what unusual procedure since
Delhi still had Morgan on the
schedule and needed the win to be
second place contender. How
ever Delhi outdid Wanda 7 to 8
and for purposes of playoff ar
rangements, was given second
place.
Seaforth's to 0 win from Nor
gan plus a forfeit from Echo
leaves the Seaforth nine on top
with an 300 rating. Delhi won
from Echo, also by forfeit and
took Is to Is decision over Wa
basso recently to attain its some
what precarious second place.
Preliminary to the Delhi-Wan-
da game Sunday at Wabasso, Sea-
forth and Morgan teams, sailed
with old time players, played
three innings under old time rules
in observance of the centennial
of baseball. Three bands were on
hand, representing Wanda, Sea-
forth and Wabasso.
The experiment ended with the
score at to /. Twelve men made
up "side" under the old rules
and such oddities as calling the
runner out if a hit ball was
caught on first bounce made the
innings of interest to the huge
crowd. Old uniforms were worn
by players and several women
from Seaforth also dressed in the
costumes of the earlier era. A kit
tenball with the cover removed
was used, as the nearest approach
to the old time ball.
Mike Kramer of North Red
wood introduced the players, re-
presenting teams of from Is to
go years back. Charles Davis of
Seaforth was the oldest player

URGES FARMERS TO
CHECK CRANARIES
FOR WHEAT LOANS
1000 PARITY CHECKS
WILL BE RECEIVED
II BY FARMERS HERE

Redwood county farmers in /
tending to take advantage of the |
1889 AAA wheat loan are urged
by George Claussen, chairman of
the county AAA committee, to
make certain their bins will meet
requirements of the loan program.
"Good wheat, properly stored,
is the only security farmer will
be required to put up for his
loan," Claussen said. Therefore
it is necessary to store wheat OH
the farm in such a WHY that it
will remain good security. A little
time spent in cleaning out gran
aries and making needed repairs
before harvest will speed approval
of loan application. No loans
will be- made on wheat stored in
unsound bins"
Requirements specify storage
that will:
Hold wheat without loss of
quality or quantity.
| Protect wheat against weather
which may cause deterioration.
Provide protection from thieves,
rodents, birds, poultry and in
sects.
Permit funigation to destroy
insects.
| Provide reasonable safety from
fire and wind.
Require forcible breaking in
order to be entered when sealed.
under the 1888 loan program,
the record of farm storage indicat-
eS that farmers can store grim
well on their farms. A re-inspec-
ton of about $4,000 bins in 10
states found only "a in such con-
dition that inspectors recommend
ed loans be discontinued" said
Claussen.
Over 100000 will be paid to
Minnesota farmers in the form of
1889 AAA wheat price-adjust-
ment payments, estimates Char
les w. Stickney, chairman of the
state AAA committee. Through
July z, $7,010.10 was paid to $50
farmers in the state.
Mr.. Claussen reports that 1000
parity payments are expected
here.
Price-adjustment payments on
wheat, corn, cotton, rice and
tobacco were authorized in the
1898 AAA act, Congress appro-
priating $4,000 900. Stickney
says, sPrice-adjustment payments
are an effort to establish closer
relationship between prices far
mers receive for commodities they
sell and prices they pay for things
they buy"
Farmers who did not exceed the
acreage allotments set up for their
farms by county AAA commit
tees, are eligible to share in these
funds. Wheat price-adjustment
payments of IL cents bushel are
in addition to the conservation
payments of II cents per bushel
on the normal yield of the allotted
| acres.

Tennis Champ
Faces Tough
Competition
JOE ARMSTRONG, NEW
RESIDENT OF CITY,
WAS STATE CHAMP

Arthur Seifert, defending cham
pion, called on all tennis players
today to enter city tournaments,
planned for men and women OF
the city to get underway in early
August.
But as he issued the call, Art
frankly admitted he isn't at all
confident of retaining his title, one
over which he has battled with
John Kreiger and Orye Korte,
when they lived in the city, and
maLy others over period of sew
eral years, with more than his
share of success.
Principal cloud on the tennis
horizon, from Arts point of view,
is Joe Armstrong who has gone
back into tennis enthusiastically
after several years vacation and
is showing local enthusiasts plenty
of tricks. Joe is Standard Oil re-
preventative for this territory and
moved here last winter.
In 1880 he shared the state
doubles title, which indicates the
class of tennis he was playing ten
years ago. Local opponents say
he may have slowed up some but
he hasn't forgotten any of the
tricks.
Prior to 1929 he lived for a,
time in Kentucky where he won
the Louisville city title and while
he was at the University of Min
nesota, Armstrong was number
one man three years and captain
one. -
Not only members of the tennis
maintenance group, but any per-.
son interested is asked to register
for participation in the tourney
by Monday. They may leave their
names with Seifert or M. V. Kur-
schner.
The tournament will get UNDER
way next weekend.

LONDON, Aug. 7 P).-Informed
sources said yesterday Great Britain
had agreed tentatively to hand over
to. japanese authorities four alleged
Chinese terrorists who were the CEN
ter of the dispute which led to the
blockade of the British and French
concessions in Tientsin.
The agreement will not take effect,
however, it was said, until other out
standing points of difference, such
as the question of British support for
Japanese-sponsore currency in
North China, are settled.
No new instructions have been
sent yet to Sir Robert Leslie Craigie,
British Ambassador to Toxic, on the
currency question or on the closely
allied question Of handing over Chi
nese government silver held In
