their chances to make an eve
break were still possible-but no
probable. They were not probabl
because both Evansville and Glen
wood were left. But this wa
evident after Saturdays meet a
Appleton. Sank Centre was i'm
proved at least for that game. Ear
ly season efforts with Glenwoot
showed the s. G. lads losers II
to O. But in Saturdays game, ane
with Pangburn pitching a tirec
frame after a full five inning route
they wound up 9 to 5. -.
Pitching is q problem. Pang
has had some pretty fair games,
was at his best against Apple
ton Saturday when he allowed
only a few hits, and walked a
lone man. Larson has had his
moments; so has COnkey. -.
But once up against some boys
who can really slug, they don't
seem to pull out. The angle that
behind them is an infield, rat
ed to be a good defensive quail
ity this year, that has been
chalxing up errors to mighty
high strung tunes, doesn't help
the chucker's peace of mind out
there on the mound, we pre-
sumo. INCEST part of that
Appleton meet was a free lunch
at noon which even Harvey was
able to enjoy. But the Lads
have really gone out there and
worked; they've been beaten by
some pretty good teams. :.
They may be able to pull some
out of the hat yet. =.
Hitting among the local boys has
picked up. Saturday they were
picking them up against Glenwood.
And you remember how Pepper
shut them out in the cold with his
earlier exhibition. Against
who have a team that
last year sported some pretty fair
pitching, they clouted eight hits
Jim Cooper with two at four times

With the 22nd district track
meet behind them, and incident
ally the championship with
them, the high school tracksters
pointed their way toward the
New York Mills regional meet
Saturday. Rated as dark
horse winners, the Sank Centre
crew has long been printing for
this district encounter. A quad
rangular meet here early in the
season, gave them the pace Of
leading contender Swanville and
a line on Long Prairie. Then
the west central meet at Itch
field was tempering the lads
for this meet. So they sailed
on thru. Oddly is that with
only two first places-taken by
Kringen and LarsOn-the boys
tailed 80 points to best Alex
andria's 80 and Swanville 20.
It was this same Kringen who
topped individual honors on the
local team with Is of the 38 points.
In the high jump he shattered
the old record, and stopped him.
self 3 inches over the record mark
Changing to the western roll ap-
proach this year, Kringen has best
ed the record, was still jumping
has not yet found just what he
can do on the competitive market
There's this much to say that
he has hurried along with his de-
velopment in the nick of time,
Last year the best he could do
was five feet. Larson too with
his broad jump of IS plus feet, was
only two inches shy of tossing aside
another record. In fact those
district % boys had more fun that
a country lad at Coney Island. They
shattered all but two of the old
records =. .
Alexandria, defending cham
piOns, could have yet won the
meet before the running of the
relays. It's odd that their first

as S. C.'s secondhand that
Swanyille that won the best
heat in this crucial event should
be shunted to third place. -.
It was Larson who i'm this event
