The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1940-03-07

Unexploded shells are still being
found In the war zone Of France Is
years after the World war. A pri-
vate company which was engaged
six years ago to hunt and destroy
them is still actively operating with
quarters In Coucy-le-Chateau near
the emplacement of the "Big Ber-
tha," which shelled Paris. Besides
doing its own hunting, the company
is informed of the accidental finding
of shells. It sends its special trucks,
fitted for handling explosives, and
the shell is taken to the exploding
ground. It has responded to 1920
reports of found shells, which have
led to its trucks bringing in ], 450, 600
tons of "duds." During the same
period it has destroyed where they
were found over 167, 600 tons of
shells considered non-transportable.
And still undestroyed at its two
fields are 236, 7s4 tons of shells. The
company has not lost a man.

Even in that instant, when his dis
tress of mind was uppermost, Bruce
detected embarrassment in Flor
ian's manner.
Hello, Florian," he said as he
extended his hand.
Florian took the proffered hand in
brief clasp, then seemed to draw
back hesitantly. "Bruce!" he ex-
claimed softly. You're the last per-
son expected to see here tonight. ;"
Bruce glanced toward the house.
''I've come with some pretty bad
news, Florian," he said in low
tone. "Auturnn's father was killed
this evening"
Florian fell back a step. ''Killed?

the house.

Jealous Photographer
Vas Looking ahead

Photographs had been taken at
the wedding, and the happy pair
were assured that proofs would be
sent to them so that the best might
be chosen for delivery.
Some days passed, and the
looked-for envelope arrived.
All agog, the young couple
opened the envelope. But instead
of pictures of the bridal group they
were confronted with studies of a
two-months-old baby.
The bride nearly collapsed. So
did the bridegroom-when, on
looking at the back of one of the
proofs, he read: please state
clearly when ordering which size
you want, and how many"

the best one to break the news to
her"
But Florian was regarding him in
blank CONSERVATION. Bruce, puzzled,
began to feel an impotence at his
singular attitude.
There's no sense in delaying it,
Florian," he said harshly. ''She has
to be told. And Lin is the one to
talk to her."
As he spoke he glanced toward the
house. It came to him that there
was something strange about the
place. It seemed deserted, some
how, and although the windows were
open no voices came out to them
from within.
Lin isn't here" Florian said
heavily. Autumn and I are alone"
Bruce stared at Florian through
the gloom with eyes that seemed to
go dim and lifeless with the dull
flush that had suffused his whole
being after that first sharp stab of
incredulity.
"Ohi" he said then, in a voice
that had died before the sound is
sued. "Oh-I seel"
Florian's face was turned toward
him in the darkness. For moment
he did not reply. "You don't see at
all, you damn fooll" he broke forth
at last. 'Lin couldn't get here. We
were just getting ready to leave
when we heard your car coming up
the hill. If you think"
'Shut up!" Bruce rasped. "You
don't have to apologize to me. Go
in and tell her. She's needed at
home-tonight. I'll drive ahead. I
don't think I can be of any more
use"
With his fists doubled up so that
his nails were like blades in his
palms, Bruce tore himself away. He
had experienced for the first time in
his life the exhilarating and horrible
impulse to kill. Blindly he staggered
to his car, swung it through the gate
so that it iurched crafty toward the
brink of the trail before he righted
it, then paused to await the sounds
that told him that Florian and Au-
tunn had started from the lodge.
All the way back down into the
valley, with the shameless and
heartbreaking sound of that other
car following behind him, it seemed
to Bruce that the stars rocketed
through delirious sky, and that
the night with its burden of mad
ness would descend and annihilate
him.

NEW YORK. Dec. 10 CNANAD-
Clark Griffith, the Old Fox Of WASH
ington. on the eve of the major
league baseball meetings in Chicago
still was clinging firmly to his belief
in the law-the child of the Griffith
brain-which saws that the cham
pion of the American League cannot
deal for players with another club in
the same league.
Maybe they'll vote me down"
said the Fox. but I was honest when
I introduced that rule, and honestly
believe it should stand. When I
brought it up last year, people
thought was aiming at the Yankees
alone. I wasn't. 1t applies to all
pennant- winning teams. The cham
pion owes something to the rest of
the league"
Today the odds were to that
the Griffith law, as some of the boys
think of it, would be repealed in
Chicago. When Griff submitted his
legislation last year, the league
indorsed it alf-heartedly. The
Yankees were favored to repeat. and
as far as most of the voters could
see, the Yankees could afford to take
a small handicap.
Rule Embarrasses Everybody.
Now, year later, the Grifith
law embarrasses everybody. except
maybe the Fox himself. If Griff is
embarrassed, he doesn't show it.
The Yanks no longer are cham
pions. Another team, team with
power, but far from balanced and
far from young, holds the title. And
many citizen is wondering what in
tophet the Tigers of Detroit will do
about the 1941 campaign if the law
prevents them from dealing with
their rivals for new men of proven
worth.
The old men of Detroit are failing
rapidly, or so it appears on the sur
face. A qualified baseball critic be-
lieves the Tigers will do we'll to fin
ish better than fourth with the team
they fielded last year. There is
much IN what ne says.
If the Griffith law is repealed this
week, however, it will not be entirely
because the magnates feel sorry for
Detroit. 1t will be partly because
they feel sorry for themselves. Some
of them want to deal with the Tigers.
They think they can do good busi-
ness there. And partly it is a mat
ter of principle.
Law of Averages Beat Yanks.
st don't like the rule" says Joe
Mccarthy, representing the Yankees.
"Our club never did like it. We
figure that the law of averages will
take care of a club that wins too
often, without any help from the
rule book. Look at us. We didn't
lose last year because of the no
trade rule. Our club as it stood
could have won the pennant. We
lost because we didn't get going at
the start. Partly my fault, for not
pulling 'em together sooner, and
partly the fault of the law of aver
ages"
Two or three other American
League clubs are opposed to the
Grifith law. A vote of five will kill
it. Some bystanders 60 so far as to
hint that Mr.. Grifith himself, no
matter how fast he clings to ap-
pearances, would like to see 1t killed,
because he can drive profitable
bargain with the Tigers In the mat.

Basket Program
Siege Of School TiIts
To Be Started Today
With Four Games
By GEORGE HUBER.

The high school basket ball tempo
steps up with the four games sched-
uled today leading up to the heavy
Friday program of seven tits. The
fast pace will be maintained all
through next week and until the
start of the Christmas holidays.
Particular interest is centered to-
day in two public high schools.
Roosevelt and Western, opening their
seasons entertaining Bethesda Chevy
Roosevelt is defending champion and
in practice sessions has indicated it
again will be at or near the top.
Such lads as Hymie Perlo. Dick
Goodman. George and Tom Robert
son and Frank Ciango have been
nodded by Coach Herman Littman
into smooth squad combining
speed and scoring ability.
Bethesda Shy on Defense.
Bethesda's Barons already have
opened their season successfully. al
though they indicated the need Of
a more defensive skill when they
nosed out Hyattsville.
Western, which won its only title
four years ago. is opening with a
hard game against Briarley and
should give a real line on its pros
pect. So far the Red Raiders aren t
considered title threat since Coach
Cliff Moore has a somewhat in
experienced squad with no real big
bows. The football teams two Sue
cessive title after many lean years
has given an incentive. though. and
they are hoping that the basket ball
team will follow suit.
Jim Karis and Irving Shenker are
the leading leftovers from last year.
Their experience makes them the
backbone of Moore's quint. Karis
is especially outstanding on long
shots. Shenker is fast and good in
all departments and should be the
teams outstanding player. Another
starter probably will be Western's
great all-around athlete, Jake Hill
leary. Jake was a little late getting
out for practice because of his foot
ball work and trip with the team to
Atlantic City on November 80.
Western Shy Reserves.
Don Cross and Jack Kavanaugh
will be Westerns other starters.
Cross was a sub last year, but fits
in well with Moore's system. Kava-
naugh is a newcomer to the school
who looks good. He's aggressive and
a hard worker.
Coach Moore figures he will have
a fairly good first team, but he will
need reserves. He doesn't know just
where he'll find these reserves,
either.
Other games on today's program
had Mount Rainier at Gonzaga and
Falmouth High at Washington-Lee

more City College and Eastern to
