NEW ULM UPSETS
FAIRFAX 10 IN
WESTERN, MINNY

Fourteen hundred fans, a record
crowd, turned out at New Ulm
Sunday to watch Gallivan and
his mates blank the champion
Fairfax club l to 0 for its first
defeat of the season. New Ulm
pulled into second place, game
behind Fairfax, with the victory.
Meanwhile Franklin emerged
from the cellar in to l trim
ming of the Hector team which
went scoreless until the seventh
and Olivia managed to hold an
early lead against Winthrop de-
spite a seventh inning rally which
left the score at to 2. The Bird
Island Gibbon game was rained
out.
Easily the seasons classic, the
New Ulm-Fairfax encounter was
a five hit affair, Fairfax getting
but two off Gallivan while Elston
was almost as effective. Elsto1
triumphed in the strikeout de-
partment 10 to 5. Two double
plays by New Ulm cleared the
bags and helped hold the single
ton lead which New Ulm gained
in the second frame when Aufder-
heide singled, stole second, reach
ed third on an infield out and
scored on Spelbrink's sacrifice.
This weeks encounters send
Olivia to Fairfax, Gibbon to Hec-
tor, Franklin to Bird Island and
Winthrop to New Ulm.

advance him and he scored the
winning run on an error at third.

gram of the event if the commit
tee now arranging activities has
its way.
Plans are to hold tennis and
golf tournaments and perhaps
swimming events, with suitable
prizes. Persons from throughout
the territory as well as old resi-
dents back for the occasion would
be asked to participate and as
the events reached final rounds,
they would interest many specta-
tors.
But in the hot bed of softball
which Redwood county is, soft
ball tourney feature was newt
able from the outset. An attrac-
tive purse has been offered and
since it is about Redwood Falls
turn for the county tournament
anyway, it is likely this will be a
feature of the celebration. If it
can't be arranged as the official
county tournament, an invitation
al meet may be arranged.
Another event talked of at COM
mittee meetings is baseball
game between the Fairfax team
which dominates the Western
Minnesota league and some team
from Redwood county, probably
ayobortOn OIIariac have coma
out to the team managers to de-
termine what size purse would
interest them on a 60-.40 basis.
The sports program would serve
to emphasize Redwood Falls
facilities in this line, the fine new
tennis courts at Memorial Field,
the field and amphitheatre for
ball games and the golf course
with recently opened grass green's.

Youth Unhurt In
Strange Accident

Billy, five-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. w. H. Krohn of Lafay-
cite, had a narrow escape from
serious injury at the farm home
of his grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Joe Volz, where he was spending
the day.
Billy had accompanied his
granddad, who was hauling load
of gravel. Nearing the farm place,
the youth was changing his posi-
ton when the strong wind caused
him to lose balance and he fell to
the ground. Before Mr.. Volz could
stop the team, one of the rear
wheels of the wagon passed over
the boys hips.
He was rushed to physicians
office, where it was learned that
he had suffered no broken bones
or internal injuries. How he es-
capped with. only minor bruises
seems almost miraculous, since
he fell on. a hard surfaced road
and the load of gravel weighed
approximately $500 pounds.

SUFFERS
 FIRE, WATER LOSS
Sprinkler System Checks Blaze in Mattatuck Mig.
 Company Building

Small damage from fire, but 8 probable loss from water, resulted from a blaze at the Mattatuck Mfg. Go. on East Main street shortly after midnight. Four companies of apparatus responded to the alarm, after the sprinkler system at the plant was set of by the fire which started in a desk on the third floor.
 The alarm was given by Laurence Cairns, of 30 Fuller street, on duty as watchman on the WPA excava- tion project on Southmayd road, who saw the flames while making his rounds. Fire Chief Thomas Cavanaugh directed the men, who spent hours sweeping out gallons of water from the floor. Lieut.. Eu- gene A. Legge, of the marshal's staff, investigated.
 Two motorists were arrested on charges of reckless driving near the scene. They are Michael Me- Auliffe and Frank Anthony Fava, of 1892 Main street, Bridgeport. Both drivers are charged with ap- preaching the scene of the fire in @ reckless manner.
