Ely Whips Eveleth to
Win Opening Ball Game
Takes League Battle, 9-5, on
Home Field; Tackles Fort
Francis Saturday.

The Ely city baseball team won its
initial start of the season here Sunday
against Eveleth, 9 to 5. Connecting
for IA hits, one triple and three
doubles, the local crew packed too much
power for the visitors from the Mesabi
range.
Saturday afternoon Ely will play at
Fort Francis and Sunday the boys will
play at Calumet.
John Glavan, veteran third baseman
scored the opening run of the game in
the first inning after smacking out a
three Dagger. Glavan crossed the plate
when Tony Stukel, catcher, was safe
on first on an error on the part of
Karkas, Eveleth right fielder. The
visitors tied the count at l all in their
half of the fifth when E. Gambucci was
safe on first on an error by Frank Vert
mix, left fielder, stole second, and then
came home on single by L. Langen,
brother of Manager w. V. Langen of
the local club.
From then on they never threatened
until the ninth when a desperate rally
Melted two runs before it was ended.
In the last half of the fifth Vertnik
again put Ely ahead, 81, going around
right fielder, and G. Hessenius, the
teams new pitcher, after arriving at
first on an error. In the sixth, Man
ager Langen and Al Banks, second
baseman, crossed the plate, and in the
seventh, Braney Banks, centerfielder,
and Fritz Banks shortstop.
Eveleth pushed over another run in
the eighth, but Ely matched it with
three in the last half of the inning as
Barney Banks, HeSseniuS, and Albert
Rowe scored to bring the count to 9-3.
Seeing the ball game all but lost as
the ninth started, the visitors went
after the slantS of Pitcher HesseniuS
| with blood in their eyes. Three singles
| in row brought two runs home. The
fourth man up was hit by a pitched
ball and Eveleth had men on first and
second with no one out.
The ST. Paul hurler, however, pulled
himself together, and with some eX-
cellent assistance on the part of his
teammates, retired the next three men,
one by the strikeout route, to end the
game.
The Ely pitcher famed four men,
walked four, and gave up II hits, while
johnson of Eveleth whitfield three,
walked one, and was nicked for IA
safe blows

Wild Duck COLLides
With Automobile,

Osseo-Jake Herboldt, Charles Hecht-
man, Fred Tessman, and Herman
Goetze were driving back from Moor
head, Minnesota. AS they were ap-
preaching Alexandria a wild duck flew
up against the windshield. The i'm
pact was very great, causing the
shatterproof windshield to crack in a
thousand different directions. The
duck was killed by the impact. Lucky
for driver Herboldt that the windshield
was of shatterproof glass.

COrrOded Screen Causes
Village Water Shortage

Atwater-Private pumps creaked
merrily when the supply of water from
the village pumping system ceased to
flow. The screen which has been in
use about ten years had become cor
roded to the extent where it was not
possible to either clean or remove it
and so a new well was drilled. The
water was turned on again, which was
considerable relief after toting pans
and pals to private wells about town.
