I think I'll go to the ball gam
one of these days. Baseball i
a game where the coaches can 81
on the bench and find good argu
ments; and last Thursday was n,
exception. In fact here's a bal
game in which rule number so-and
80 not only saved retirement o
the side in the one inning-it in
won the ball game. I
I remember correctly. Yol
know it was such a good argumen
between the Osakis and Sank Cen
tire ball clubs that Harvey was al
excited. That is if I can believ,
Mrs. Harvey, and who should know
better. Was he excited, quot
she. He only ate a half slice o
bread and he's usually good TO,
three or four. Now I claim tina
when you can make a coach forge
his groceries you have accomplish
ed something.
To get down to cases, here's
briefly what happened that in
cidentally won the ball game
out of the rule book. In the
third inning with the bases
loaded, and two out a crit
ical point in any ball game as
you may well imagine) a Sank
Centre batter was hit by a
pitched ball. Of course that
advanced all men, scoring q run.
But Kringen, who was on sec
Ond base, ran to third, touched
it, and then for some reason
started toward second again.
A play was made, third was
touched, and Osakis ruled him
out. But Harvey pulled out the
rule book and there on page
so-and-sO was a rule that says
that when a man is hit by a
pitched ball, the ball is dead.
Further that any man hit, or
any man advanced by such &C
ton, is entitled to his base. 49,.
And another point that said
ball cannot be put into play
until the pitcher is in his box.
Which, according to the
dope, he was not and no play
could have been made.
Well, the thing all wound up
that the rule book substantial
ed the advance, and Sank Gen.
tire went on to make four more
runs in this willy nilly ball
game. And finally to win after
they had been stood up for
10 to o lead in the second
frame. So it goes. -.
Niblick Club was mighty pleased

out for their golfing party. And

While some of the boys were
playing baseball a dual track
meet planned with Long Prai-
RE, incidentally blOssOmed into
a fOur-way event, gave Sank
Centre its first victory in this
department of the spring sports,
tra-la. For this high-skip-
ping event we find Master j.
N. TOftness in charge. Incident

Coaches sit, and the boys do
the work.
By virtue of his performance in
his first event, Don Kringen looms
s the best point getter in the local
quad. He took % of them in this
lrst meet with his 120 high hur-
les, shot put and high jump.

ors approach to the high jump

asst Saturday in the first event
mis- year he cleared 5 feet 3 inch
S, and then stopped. He had elm
mated all competition. But he
admit yet knocked down the bar.
Hildebrand is a coming lad
n this sport too. Lanky enough,
e turned in the best time on the
40 yard event, and took a couple
xtra thirds to waltz into second

improving. So Sank Centre
talked off with five firsts of the
