Ely at Top Because
of Good Stick Work

Ely's heavy hitters have played a
big part in keeping the team at the
top of the Range Baseball league
standings, figures compiled by Bert E
Erickson, Hibbing Tribune sports edi-
tor and secretary of the league. reveal
Including all but last weekends
games, Ely not only headed the team
standings but also was at the top of the
team batting average with percentage
of 288. Next in line was Virginia and
Nashwauk with 248, Hibbing with
236, while Chisholm was tied with
Taconite with 223 Eveleth had Dol,
and Cook, 1856.
Five Ely players were among the first
ten in individual work with the stick.
The leagues only playing manager,
Fritz Banks, was in second, but ahead
Of him was Virginia player who had
been to the plate but three times.
Hibbing was first in fielding with
.939, pertinent reason why the Miners
have been so tough to defeat. Ely was
in fourth with 921, not a bad per-
Torrance. Second went to Virginia
with .938, but one point back of Hib-

A three-way tie for the MeSabi-Ver-

looms as the result of Elys 14-6 loss
to Eveleth here Friday. It all de-
pend on how Ely came out in its
game at Virginia yesterday, the final
encounter on the schedule.
A win for the Queen City gave ii
undisputed possession Of the cham
pionship with three wins and one de-
feat, while a win for Ely tied the
three clubs with to victories and a
like number Of defeats apiece. In
event Of the latter situation the clubs
are right back where they started
from at the beginning of competition.

Virginia's only defeat up to yester-
day was at the hands of Ely, So, in the
opener of the season. Since then the
Queen City has defeated Eveleth
twice, a club that holds twin victories
over Coach Edward T. Buckley's nine.

Continuing in their winning ways,
the Ely baseball team scored its second
victory over Hibbing this season with
an 11-8 win on the Miners diamond
Sunday.
The Ely batters pounded the deliver
les Of three pitchers, who could get
no more than three strikeouts from
the fast-swinging Vermilion range
clouters
John Pucel. star southpaw on the
Ely team who is skyrocketing to fame
in the Range league, scored his third
win in four starts. Pucel, along with
his teammate, Frank Vertnik, right
handler, have the distinction of be-
ing the first local boys to take over
the mound duties for Ely in many
years, and they have been more than
equal to the task.
Like in many preceding games the
Ely club compiled a commanding lead
in the opening innings only to see
their opponents put on the pressure
in the final innings in an attempt to
turn defeat into victory. In this in
STAGE, however, Ely matched Hibbing's
runs. tally for tally, in the final in
nings.
Manager Fritz Banks crew took
Hibbing's measure for four runs IN
the opening inning and pushed over
another in the fifth to compile a So
advantage as the seventh started.
As the seventh began Ely scored
once, and Hibbing followed with a
tally; in the eighth Ely was good for
three, and the Miners got three, and
in the final inning Ely scored twice
and Hibbing followed with two runs
when Johnson poled out a homer with
one man on.
Al Banks with three singles and
three runs, and Jimmy Buckley with
two singles and two runs led the Ely
procession to the plate. John Glavan
was also credited with three safe
blows, and scored once Every man on
the club hit at least once.
Tony Stukel and Buckley showed
their heels to the Miners infield as
they stole bases, while the Hibbfng
runners were kept in check, failing to
make an extra base by hoofing for It.
The Ely infield continued to show
improvement over the first half Of
the league competition, and came
through with two double plays to

A big 6-run first inning, coupled
with a 4-run onslaught in the fourth
gave Eveleth its second game over
Ely, 14-6, here Friday afternoon. The
best Ely could do was to garner 2
TALES in the opening inning and
more in the second, whereupon Pitcher
Klobuchar of Eveleth held the local
batters well in check.
John Vukelich proved himself a
hero in the second when he clouted
out a home run with John Rom and

In another week the greatest canoe
month Of the year, August, will bt
here. Then, when the number Of
when the heat of the middleweSt i
the most intense, the great wilderness
of the manipulated Minnesota Arrow
head beckons nature lovers TO the
cool and quiet Of the forest.
In this primitive wilderness modern
VoyageurS take to canoes and paddles
to traverse an area which has thrilled
adventurous travellers since the days
Of the early French explorers.
Gateway to this nature lovers para
disc is Ely, and from this city a good
share OF the canoe trips into the Sup
erior National Forest and the Quetico
Provincial park begin.
The advent of motors. the con-
struCtion Of resorts on border waters,
and the service offered by seaplanes,
may have cut down the number OF
people taking canoe trips, but these
factors have not decreased the lure
Of birchbark travel nor the adventure
nor the back-to-natJre aspects Of
traversing the wilderness by canoe.
People who enjoy solitude, who want
TO see the wilderness from the most
natural angle will select canoe trip
sans a motor, too, by the wsvN every
time, unless age interferes. Accord
ing 20 people who know about such
things, using a motor is the first sign
Of advancing age on the part Of a
cauoeist. The noise will make your
head swim, and will frighten away

Trouble is what makes canoe trips

enough, the uneventful trips go into
the record books as failures.
The more difficult situations that
arise, the better the trip, Watts says

none of them go out of their way to
look fer mishaps. That usually isn't
necessary. because the elements take
care of thai.
Tents blown away in storms, blind

canoe. marauding bears who steal al
the grub, getting lost in a maze of
islands and bays-these things play q
special part in making canoe trips at

which most paddlers look at wilder
