Items of Twenty Years Ago

Last week there were many new
changes in homes in Sank Centre.
On Monday George Berggreen
closed a deal whereby he became
the owner of one of the new colt
ages, recently built by ]. Borgerd-
ing and Co. Mrs. Wiener, who pur-
chased the residence property
from F. H. Connolly last spring,
moved into the same this week and
Percy Hansen, who occupied the
Connolly residence, moved into the
Hansen residence, recently vacat-
ed by the Robbers family. Joseph
Klemm sold his residence, corner
Fourth and Pine Streets, to Ferd
Athmann, of Lake George, on Mon
day.
T. l.. Mccormick. veteran en-
ployee of the Standard Oil Co., in
Sank Centre, has been assigned to
a Minneapolis filling station. He
expects to leave next week. Thirty
five of the As years residence in
this city, has been spent in the en-
ploy of the company in charge of
the general station. Mr.. Mccormick
is one of the oldest employees of
the company in this locality. The
station to which he has been as
signed is located at Lyndale and
25th Streets, and is considered one
of the best in Minneapolis.

LitchfieId May Be
Greater Test

Litchfield may be an even greater
test than Benson in the relative
strength Of Ray Schwartz Main
Streeters in the West Central Con-
ference circuit, it appeared this
week after the Sank Centre-Benson
scoreless tie.
For Litchfield is a team with a
victory under her belt after a scor-
ing punch that humbled neighbor
Hutchinson ID to O. Second in a
series Of three consecutive games in
the Conference circuit, the Itch
field game tomorrow evening, Fri
day, is looked upon to give a little
more accurate indication of the
strength of the local club. The
game will be played at Litchfield.
Coach Ray Schwartz this week
called the Benson game "a typical
opening game" pointed out that the
boys learned few things" And
it is that angle Of learning things
that makes this second game loom
in importance. Driving home what
they learned is occupying the squad
this week along with a brushup on
the attack.

school anything but inexperience.
There were no provisions for train
ing the youngsters in the Junior
high. The idea hadn't caught on
enough so that the lads battled a
football about in the street. So
the picture changes as the new
decade opens. There is a Junior
high program; there is enough
coaching manpower to cover the
boys with good veneer of funda-
mental knowledge. The kids
are kicking the ball around in the
street. 9Th graders know as much
about the rules as this ten year
period opens as the seniors did 10
years ago. . +. A public is sold on
football; it's a good game and they
realize it. An extensive period
without much personal injury has
snuggled in the shy parentry.
While in abject dispair the fans
watched the earliest efforts because
all these conditions conspired only
to make a defeated team. Today
they actually clamor for wins; they
want it; they expect it.
This isn't supposed to be out.
But perhaps some of you remember
the time the boys had when Harold
Gray was stung by a bee on :
well, a fishing trip. To Pete
Michels it was the funniest thing
since Harold stole his decoys.
Now the secrets out. A buzzing
bee declined in Pete's general direc-
ton and sat down.

that-given the training and in
herent ability to direct-no one is
quite so well qualified to transfer
his GRANDCHILDREN to the screen as
the author himself.
The selection of the cast also
must have been inspired largely
by Sturges's decisions as to who
would most capably fit into the
roles he had created. In casting
Brian Donlevy as Dan McGinty,'

There was the usual amount of
opening game fumbling. Those are
chance happenings, affect in no way
the future Of club, and indicate
only the healthy premise that the
club is eager, a bit over-anxious.
Most coaches would rather
have that. Benson got the nod for
the most fumbling. :. Benson had,
primarily, more speed, club with
some older heads apparently. They
held the sway in the attack.

CHICAGO, Jan. 31.-Take it from
Henry P. Edwards, who's been
watching them come and 60 long
time, the players who come up to
baseball's big show and stay the
longest are the ones catching it"
hardest most of the time-the back
stops.
Edwards, veteran manager of the
American Leagues Service Bureau,
never has subscribed to the rather
common belief that work behind
the plate shortens a players career.
So to fortify himself with argu-
mentative ammunition he dug up
records which disclosed that catch
ers more than hold their own in
durability when compared with
players in other positions and indi-
Gated that youngsters with real
catching ability have a better than
average chance of clinching long
time major league jobs.
Catching Provides Celebrities.
Some of the greatest figures
baseball ever produced were CATCH
ers," Edwards pointed out. Among
them were backstops who had unusu-

Tourney LIST
Meet Monday to Make
Plans; Dr.. R. A. KeiIty
Slated to Be Prexy

District Golf Association solons,
looking toward bigger and better,
tournament schedule this year, will
gather IN their annual meeting
Monday night at the University
Club to settle tournament dates
and choose the course over which
the District amateur title tourney
will be played.
DR.. Robert A. Kelly of Congress
sional, who already is vice presi-
dent of the Maryland State Golf
Association. Is slated to become
prexy of the District golf body,
succeeding D. D. L. McGrew of
Chevy Chase, who served in 1885,
The District Golf Association won't
have much to do at the annual
meeting. Already Washington and
Columbia have decided not to hold
invitation Journeys this year.
Congressional will stage the Mary
land State amateur championship
and, with this major event slated,
will not hold an invitation affair.
Manor may or may not resume its
invitation tournament, so as the
schedule shapes up only Chevy
Chase is certain to hold a 1910
tournament. The Chevy Chase in
vitation event for the Taft and
Sherman Trophies will be played
May Is, 16 and II.
Only two tournaments are held
every year by the District associa-
ton itself, the mems District and
mixed Scotch foursome, but the
local golf body acts as the spon-
soring organization for all events
held around Washington. That
phase of the work nowadays is not
important, for where 10 years ago
the problem was to find dates for
all the clubs that wanted tourna-
ments, low the question is to find
clubs willing to hold them.
There has been around Wash
ington in recent years swing of
the pendulum against invitation
Journeys and in favor of many
smaller, informal affairs.

Hartnett, Mickey Cochrane, Ray
Schalk and Bill Dickey"
Hartnett, manager of the Chi
cago Cubs, long has believed young
sters with catching ability hold an
edge over rockies shooting at other
positions. His own record gives
weight to that position, for next
summer he'll be serving his 10th
season in the majors, all as Cub.
Schalk, great Chicago White Sox
catcher, worked two years in the
minor leagues and is as a big timer.
Cochrane, who started with the
Philadelphia Athletics before CATCH

pennants and one world champion
ship, served two seasons in the
