Ely took its second straight league
game here Sunday afternoon from
Taconite, to o, as Reginald Lefty"
Winquist held the visitors to six safe
blows, all scattered in as many innings.
Ely batterS, however, pounded the
two Taconite hurlers that faced them
for IL hits, sending one of them to the
showers in the third.
A homer off the bat of Frank Debeltz,
scoring John Sweigel ahead of him,
was mainly responsible for retiring the
.Taconite pitcher. Runs scored by Will
liam Langen and Al Banks. in the
second, as the former connected for a
double, the latter safe on first via a
walk, and single by Tony Strukel
didn't help him any in staying in the
game.
Two more runs were marked up in the
sixth off the deliveries of his successor.
Banks was safe on first as he con-
nected for a single, went to second on
Strukers sacrifice, and crossed home
plate as Carlo Berini Smacked out a
one-bagger. Berini then showed his
heels to the entire Taconite infield as
he stole second and third and came in
with the final run of the game as
WinquiSt singled.
Banks and Ed Buckley, Jr., also had
stolen bases to their credit.
Lefty" came near losing his shut
out, his second of the season, in both

the situation.

the situation.
BY last weekend the 81 investigators
working on the project will have in
spected $500 resorts, he said.
1t is singular, he emphasized, that for
all the effort put forth to attract tour
lists to the lake regions and to enter
tain them, very little has been done
to care for their safety.
Legislation will be proposed at the
coming meeting, he said, to correct this
situation.
In discussing the deaths from ac-
cidents over the state, he stated that
there are twice as many people being
killed in homes as there are on the
highways
"I was impressed with the fact that
the safety movement is international, !"
MIR. Saxby informed his listeners in
discussing his recent trip to England.
GAS soon as we went aboard the boat
we realized this" he said.
He pointed out that England's traffic
problems are more acute than those in
this country because of the narrow
streets and sharp turns. Bicycle and
horse traffic further complicate the
situation, he pointed out.
Round discs that reflect light are
imbedded in the road to mark inter-
sections. The luminous material is also
used in constructing Look Left and
"Look Right" signs in the roadbed at
intersections.
Mercury lights that make the road
'look like day" are used in illuminating
highways, he said, a project in which
England is far ahead of the United
States.
Mr. Mold discussed number OF
Estate highway projects within the
county. A new type island will be con-
structed between the two lanes OF
|paving on the Pike lake-Duluth road
he said. The island will be one foot
deeper in the center than on the edges
making a natural drainage basin fol
IexceSS water.
The Pike lake end of the new roao
will be extended about 600 or TOO feet
he pointed out, to run past hill al
the present end of the project.
He explained the departments new
white-line marking of curves and hill
tops. The line is placed along side the
center line and indicated a no-passine
zone.
The various speed zones on rura
highways were discussed and q
committee composed of Ray S. Matt
son, county surveyor, and j. c. Kelle!
and Budzinski of the sheriff's office, al
of Duluth, was appointed to make ar
| investigation.
Budzinsk pointed out that the frs
| death in rural st. Louis county for 1913!
was recorded near Chisholm, Sunday
| June 10. Last year at this time the
: figure stood at Is, he said.
| At this point Sheriff Owens remarked
that it was about time 1--WE all startet

the ones who are not having the &C.

runner safe. He then proceeded to
steal third, but was caught off the
bag a few minutes later by some nifty
work on the part of Madden.
N. Plesha famed to end the inning
with Rand dying on base.
Ely made its half of the first big
ger than Duluth's and it earned every
thing it got, with the exception OF the
first man up, Fred Banks, who arrived
safely at first after being hit by the
pitcher. Banks then stole second, and
came home when Frank Debeltz sent
long three-b Dagger into deep center field.
Buckley made the first out as Stoyan-
off turned in his initial grandstand
catch and william Langen, who follow
ed him, sent Debeltz home with
single. Glavan followed with single,
and Langen was forced out at second.
Madden ended the inning as the short
stop threw him out at first.
In the third Olbin, Duluth pitcher,
tied the game up at 2 all, arriving on
first after smacking out single, going
to second on a sacrifice, and home on
a double by Vranesich. The latter went
to third as Orlich was safe at first on
an error by Debeltz, and then went
home with the winning run as Rand
flied out to center field. This was the
winning run.
Ely turned in a very good brand OF
ball, with the exception of the first in
ming Had the breaks been little diff
ferent they could easily have won, but
that's all part of the game.
Winquist continued his fine display
of ball hurting, tanning seven men and
walking one. The Duluth pitcher wiffed
five and walked four.

The 1OO-yard dash that preceded the
game was won by Edward Buckley, Jr,
with Mike Balich of Duluth taking
second, and John Grahek, third.
Carlo Berini, right fielder on the To-
cal club, easily won the ball-throwing
event in which both Ely and Duluth
players competed, heaving the horse
hide from deep center field to within a
few feet of the grandstand. Ray Hoef-
Ter, secretary of the Ely Commercial
club and a former star left fielder on
the club, was the only professional
taking part, but held his own with his
more conditioned opponents.
After the parade another sports pro-
gram was conducted in front of the
Community Center. Probably work.
ing harder than anyone else, including
contestants, was the group of men,
under the direction of Secretary Hoef-
Ter, who supervised the contests. So
many youngsters turned out that in
nearly every case six to ten or twelve
elimination events were necessary to
narrow the field down for the finals.
Nearly 300 children competed in the
foot races in the morning.

Glencoe-One of two Wisconsin

stunt performer if he can repeat at
public entertainments a feat he un-
Willingly performed in the vicinity OF
Glencoe recently. The mans motor
cycle skidded from beneath him and
he was thrown sprawling onto the
pavement directly in front of an ap-
preaching automobile. The driver OF
the car had no opportunity to circle
the man stretched prone upon the high
way, and one wheel of the car passed
over the mans abdomen. He was taken
to a hospital and careful examination
by a physician revealed that the man
had sustained no injury whatever.

Breaking color in art is painting
