ST. CLOUD-Has st. Cloud had
its first spasm of collegiate gold
fish swallowing? That's a prob
lem that is puzzling st. Cloud po-
lice this week and also one family
which sustained the loss of the
entire contents of an outdoor
aquarium containing 80 pets of long
standing. Mrs. Leonard Williams
reports that the pool is three feet
deep and quite large and that she
usually has to empty the pool to
remove the fish. Some of the fish
were six inches in length which
would certainly make quite a
mouthful for any would-be-cham-
pion-swallower ?of-goldfish. Mrs.
Williams believes that some young
ster may have been able to seine
out the goldfish with a net and
then sold them somewhere in the
city. Among the specimens were
various antailfS, calico goldfish
and fantailed black telescope

Rivals to Be

A benefit game for the baseball
funds Of the three Tacoma high
schools Will be played Sunday,
April le, By the Tacoma Tigers.
Jack Quill, president of the
Tigers. said Tuesday arrange
ments have been made for the
Tacoma club to meet a team Of
high school alumni picked by the
coaches of the three schools here.
The game was scheduled BY
the Tigers in an effort to aid
the finances of the three
schools as far as baseball Is
concerned.
AS baseball in prep schools is
hardly a paying proposition be-
cause of the inability to charge
admissions to most games, Presl-
dent Quill volunteered the services
of the Tigers.
A strong team of high school
alumni is available to oppose the
Bengals. The players will be
picked by Eddie Schwarz. Lincoln;
John Heinrich, Stadium. and
Father Eckstein. Bellarmine.
SOME PROS. TOO
Many of the players who will
play on the alumni team have had
professional experience. Among
those available are Les Bishop.
who played with the Tigers last
year. Joe Spadafore. veteran of
the Western league: George Wise,
who has put in several seasons OF
pro ball, and Frank Ruffo. who
was forced to give up rosy pro
career by knee injury.
The game will offer the
first opportunity for many
Tacoma fans to see the Tigers
in action. The spring training
camp opens April 8 and few
fans will have a chance to see
the Tigers down to serious
business until week later.
Popular prices will prevail.

Seattle Wonders

answer it. Let's break the uues-
