Lucan Makes 1t 20 Straight
With a Sd Win at Whitman

Lucan = Lucan's softball team
took its twentieth straight game
Sunday, winning over Coffee
Johns champion Willmar team 5
tc at the Kandiyohi county seat.
Bud Wurscher got double and
lick a triple to score for Lucan in
the first Rasmussen set, the first
RiLe Wilimar boys down, the score
remaining at l to 0 going into the
last half of the fourth.
The first Willmar player up got
to first on an error. A home run
by Ekholm, another error, a base
on balls, another hit and a wild
throw by catcher Grams Melted
four runs for Willmar and for the
first time this season, Lucan found
what it felt like to be on the short
end of a score.
But they came back in the fifth
to score two on an error by the
Willmar centerfielder, a base on
balls and singles by Rasmussen,
Jensen and Wurscher. Poor base
running prevented their tieing the
score. -
In the last inning E. Wurscher,
first up, fouled out to the catcher
but Rasmussen batted out a single
and Joe Dolan came up with a
mighty blow for homer
With the tally at to 4 Rasmus-
sen put on the pressure, tanning
two and promoting pop fly to
lick at third.

Kickers vie Slickers-
And Late That
Eyening-It Rained
nv William Flinn

Rain fortunately halted the an
nual Glover Kickers-C City Slick
ers softball game Friday night
before a winner was definitely
determined. The Gazette, fear
full that bombs might be hurled
through its nice plate glass win
dow, would have hesitated in
pronouncing either side thesVictor.
But since it is possible that Kelly
is one of the proficient bomb
throwing membeS of the Ira. in
disguise, it is perhaps safest to
declare that the Kickers had a
slight edge when the rain set in.
The scores ran to three or so di-
gifts apiece.
The players smart outfits were
as fashionable as those worn at a
French racetrack Leading the
parade was Tiger Miller, clothed
in the additionally conservative
style of Princeton man, with
grass green trousers and a fam
ing orange silk shirt. Bill Paff-
rath's form fitting sweatshirt re-
yealed the additions to the mid
riff that years have brought the
former Human PloW. ModeStly
attired in a subdued plaid jacket
was umpire Bill Smith (incident-
ally, his last leg was amputated
shortly after the fireworks finale).
Carl Goodyear, who vainly tried
to Offset the decisions of the city
umpires, was dressed in multi
colored smock that he must have
borrowed from some Paxton milk
maid. Bobby Ochs was decorated
with six shooter which he
brandished at players who pro-
tested his decisions.
Unexpected by the large crowd
was the manner in which the
teams adhered strictly to the rules
of the game. True, the Slickers
on several occasions had no less
than 10 infielders, but it is utter
ly false that more than two play
ers batted together at a time.
Miller villainously literally stole
several bases, and Wrong Way
/ Wothe reached first on triple by
touching third and second first.
Declared legal by the umpires
We're the unique gloves of the
slickers (bushel baskets), and the
unusually broad bats of the Kick
ers (fence posts and planks).
The treacherous Kickers on one
occasion lassoed a fleet Slicker
rounding third base. and thrill
ing tug of war interrupted the
game before the rope broke.
The fielding gem of the evening
was turned in by Slim George
Hanson and the Vassar curves
displayed by Pitcher Johnson
(coyly made up with a rouged
heart on his cheek, set the Kick
ers down in order.
Speakers of order, it was MAIN
tanned by Joe Lauterbach, who
hailed the more notorious GRIM
inals of the crowd into kangaroo
court to be fined for misconduct.
Banker Pop Ewart. for instance,
was found guilty of absconding
with the proceeds of the game.
The band. clad in drab and
monotonously similar uniforms,
provided music and rushed en-
nlasse to the aid of the Kickers
at critical moments.

More and Better Conservation
Needed in the Family Circle

Why men do not talk at home is
one of the problems that wives pro-
fess themselves unable to solve. They
say that abroad their husbands are
the life of the parties; that they are
gay and chatty and full of merry
quips and jokes, but at their own
fireSides they are as mum as a clam
on ice and merely grunt when spo-
ken to.
Certainly it is true that only too
often the man who sets other peo-
pies dinner tables in a roar never
opens his mouth at his own except
to put food in it. Nor can any one
deny that the average family eve
ming at home is not a hilarious af-
fair. with husband sitting up like
stuffed shirt behind his evening
paper and wife immersed in a sixth
best thriller and a brooding silence
hanging over all so thick that you
could hear the proverbial pin drop.
These deadly dull seances are not
what either husband or wife eX-
pected when they married. They
thought that they could never get
enough of each others society. They
looked forward to spending the next
80 or 40 years in billing and cooling
and discussing the millions of topics
of mutual interest. So perhaps no
other one thing in marriage more
profoundly surprises and shocks
them than finding out that they
have nothing to say to each other.
Which one is responsible for dry
ing up the conversational wells is
hard to say. Here is one man who
lays the blame on his wife. He
writes: MY wife is always COM
planning that I do not talk at home.
She sets this down to grouchiness,
but in reality it is because she has
made me afraid to open my mouth
lest she jump down it, as the phrase
goes.
"She is a chronic arguer. I can
not say it is pleasant day without
her fatty contradicting me and tell
ing me that if l were not a moron
1 could tell that the temperature is
too high or too low and that it looks
like rain.
Another way she discourages
conversation is by throwing doubt
on everything 1 say and telling me
that she does not believe it. And
as for telling a story, I have long
since given that up, for by the
time she has contradicted me at
every point and said that the in
cident I am trying to relate didn't
happen at 5 o'clock, but at Ass, and
it wasn't the Browns at all who
were there but the Robinsons, all
of the pep has gone out of it. and I
wish I had held my tongue"
There you are, wives. Get a line
on yourselves and see if the reason
