Sauk Center Revisited
(New York Times)


 pleasant little item from Sauk Center Minn, relates that travelling Thespian named Sinclair Lewis given reception ater his performance there the other night MT. Lewis born in Sauk Center fifty three years ago February T Nineteen years ago. in the novel which he called Main Street. he wrote of small Midwestern town in terms which not only set fashion in fiction but which must also have had something to do with the subsequent rush to the cities. The Gopher Prairie of the novel bore some resem- bance to Sauk Center, many persons thought It looked though MT. Lewis had better not go back there, unless he false whiskers. But we learn that Sauk Center has forgiven him not only for his acting but for his novel. The Republican Cover nor of Minnesota was there and Mir Lewis nominated him for the Presidency. Everybody had good time.
 The truth probably is that MT Lewis, Sauk Center and the country as whole have mellowed Sauk Gen. ter population 1880 2716) must more attractive than it formerly did to author who has since seen Berlin and Rome. It has probably changed, too what with the radio and the automobile, which make It possible the citizen to keep up to date and get away from home Cuturally. Sauk Center is now next door to New York Chicago and Los AngeleS-which may be a good thing a bad thing, according to ones point of view It also probably kind of stable and democratic and these qualities must look good to MT. Lewis who is not only doubling in brass and doing one-nieht stands in his play, but who may have grown less concerned about manners and customs and more about the eternal verities

eHoroscobe The stars incline
 but do not compel"
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY l2, 1888

Adverse aspects dominate today, according to astrology. The plane tary influences may encourage men, tai depression and dissatisfaction concerning home finances.
 Women may be more serene than men in their contemplation of household expenses. Rise in the cost of living will be accepted as an urge to economies.
 Domestic disagreements may be easily precipitated under this con- figuration which is believed to make men peculiarly sensitive where their bank accounts are concerned.
 Thrift will be preached from many pulpits as Federal finances are pre- scented as of national concern, but the stars indicate that the Federal income will rise through the year
 Interest in religious education is to increase and many brilliant theo- logical students will prepare for service in Protestant and Roman Catholic churches.
 Secret propaganda against Christ ianity will be widespread in many educational centers, it is forecast. The young are warned against ac- ceptance of agnoStic teachings
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of fairly good fortune. They should not take risks in finance or romance.
 Children born on this day may be exceedingly original and individual in character and endowed with ex- intellectual gifts. These subjects of Aquarius are positive and courageous, reliable and self -suffi- cient

EIks Win Seven Inning
Game 7 10 Inject
Again Tonight

Shavey Koski pitched three-hit
ball last night as the Elks nosed out
the Douglas Islanders, 81 i'll a
seven-inning farce full of rule book
argument.
Douglas got the first run in the
fourth inning when, with Manning
and Roller aboard at first and sec
ond, Jensen hit single, and Man
ming and Roller advanced,
Roller crowded Manning off third
on the run, and Manning was forced
to run for home. Confused, Koski
threw to second for force out, but
the setup was not for forceout, and
Manning, forced to run for home
scampered over the plate for Doug
las lone tally.
Gets Stolen Run
The Elks got even in their hall
of the fourth when Foster earned
himself free promenade to first
by the fou-ball route, went on tc
third when Addleman singled, and
while the Douglas watchdogs were
occupied elsewhere, slipped over the
rubber for a stolen run.
In the last half of the sixth. Ko-
shak doubled, stole third, and came
home as Molly MacSpadden slam
med out another double to bring In
the winning run.
The last frame of the game foi
the Douglas batsmen was perplex-
ing.
With two down, Grant was walked
in the face of heavy Elks protest
the umpire displaying three balls
after the pitch, but checking his
tabulator he found four registered.
Clamor Arises
Turner then struck out for the
third out, but as everyone began te
leave the field, Douglas clamol
arose. Elks' backstop, Orrin Addle-
man, had dropped the ball. and
Turner and Grant were on second
and third.
For half an hour the battle rageo
as to whether or not Turner was
out, and finally ON the presumption
that he was safe because Addlemar
did not throw him out on the
dropped ball of the last strike, play
was resumed.
However, Koski walked Erskine in
tentionally to fill the bases and pitch
to Gribble, weaker hitter, who
grounded to Peterson at shortstoT
and was thrown out at first.
The two teams are scheduled Il
meet again this evening to play Of
a postponed game, if the weather il
satisfactory.
