Reserves, Back
al RosevilIe
Coach kyoIs Hayes
Hos New Assistont,
Big Rebuilding Job

OF Coach Ernest Buckholz Of
Mount Clemens High thinks he's
putting an inexperienced team
out on the field to meet Rose
Vile in the seasons opener Fri
day afternoon on the Bather
field, he should take hook on
the other side of the fence.
Coach Nyols Hayes, mentor at
Roseville for the past seven
years, has an outfit that is really
green. And just to make things
tougher, he has the lightest
squad since 1885.
Assisting Hayes this year is
Everett MacDougall, a Michigan
State graduate. who Joined the
Roseville staff this year.
TWO LETTERMEN BACK
Only two lettermen are re-
turning to Hayes this year
Buckholz has six-and both boys
were reserves last year. Quentin
Comera,to is the only lineman
coming back. A 181-pound
tackle, he alternated at several
positions last year as a sophie
more, ard is the heaviest man on
the team.
In the backfield. Dick Papps,
who has played all the second
airy positions except quarter, will
return. A senior. Papps is ex-
pected 70 start the game at q
half post. Hayes uses a single
wing formation.
These two form the nucleous
of q squad of 40, 10 fewer than
turned out in 1910. Seventeen
members of the squad were out
for football last year, but failed
to make the reserves; all the
rest of the boys are newcomers.
Opening with Mount Clemens,
Hayes has scheduled the tough
est games Rcseville has met in
many years, including Van Dyke,
Lake Shore. and the traditional
closing game with East Detroit,
to be he'd November IS.

Flashes Can Do
No Wrong-Faie
Lends A Hand
Brooklyn Will Win
r. Both Teens Lose
Some Number Of Tits
BY JUDSON BAILEY


Associated Press Sports Writer
oDestiny'' Dodgers can do no
wrong these days and even when
they lose fate figures out some
way to compensate them.
Brooklyn ran into a 4-3 lin
ming pitfal: yesterday at Cincin-
natl, and the game scarcely had
ended before darkness settled on
st. Louis and BACKED out the
Cardinals and New York Giants
in a IL 10-irning tie.
This shaved. the Dodgers Ma
tional League lead from two
games to a game and half, but
on a long-range basis the Card
inals' tie vas almost as damag-
ing as defeat.
It figures out this way:
Brooklyn has won 90 games,
lost 81 and has IL to play.
st. Louis has won 80, lost 81
and has Is to play.
Thus the Dodgers will play
154 games this season to 153
for st. Louis and II both teams
lose the same number Of
games, Brooklyn still will take
the championship.
The Cardinals have two more
contests left on their schedule
than have the Dodgers. If Brook
lyn wins, say 10 out of IL, st.
Louis mus. win IL out of s13 be-
cause of yesterdays deadlock.
The stalcmate was a shock to
st. Louis. The Cards had beaten
the feeble Giants Is out of Fl
times previously, including a
double-header Sunday, and were
RICH: on tie verge of hanging up
a 10 classic conquest yesterday
when the Giants deadlocked the
game.
WHITE PITCHES WELL
Ernie White, the Redbirds'
great young lcfthander, had shut
out the Giants for eight innings
on four hits and looked certain
TO acquire his 18th victory. Two
singles hal given him q run in
the first inning and even though
the Cardinals made only three
hits and no runs off Hal Schu-
macher foc the next seven STAN
zas, this tally seemed enough.
Then with one out in the
ninth, Morris Arnovich singled
and Billy urges doubled. Lon
Warrelse hurried to rescue
White, but Mickey Witek singled
the tying run across-and the
ball game might as well have
ended right there instead of
waiting f1~ the urnpires to call
1T oft after the tenth.
The sch educ leaves no oppor-
tunity for replaying the contest.
The affoir at Cincinnati was
almost equally tight. Elmer
(The Great Riddle allowed only
six hits a,ri didn't give an earn
ed run in the nine innings he
worked. Bill Werber singled
home a run for him in the first
and knocked in two more with
a double in the seventh. But each
time errors helped Brooklyn
bounce back to tie the score
once in tire second inning and
again in the ninth.
Riddle DOUBLED in the Reds
half of thu ninth and 1t had all
the ..armarks of being the run
that would bring him his 18th
triumph. Manager Bill Nc
Kechnie thought SO too when he
sent Ernie KY in to run for the
pitcher. But Koy was picked off
base. When Bill Werber final
ly batted the deciding run across
with a single in the 18th, 1t was
a rookie, Ray Starr, who receiv-
ed credit tcr the win.
The Reds made a dozen hits
off four Brooklyn pitchers and
tagged Hugh Casey with the de-

WARNINGS PULL
WINTER INVASION

A silent winter invasion by a
flock of an estimated hundred or
more birds, identified as Bohemian
waxwings, was accomplished in
Sank Centre this week. The flock
rode in Monday on sub-zero tenn
peratures and for the early part
of the week the birds were dis
patching dried berries from porch
vines on the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
M. J. Fleming, were grubbing in
the snow. Tentatively identified as
the Bohemian waxwing, the bird
is a northern specie, only casually
found in eastern u. s. It breeds
in the Arctic Circle and winters
south to Massachusetts,, Pennsyl-
vania, Kansas and California. In
winter they are found in flocks,
rowing restlessly about the coun-
try, often appearing where least
expected and utterly deserving 9TH
err places where they are usually
found. 1t Is believed that the
specie may be comparative
stranger in these parts.

Firemen Called To
Extinguish Two Fires
Plumbers Blow Torch and
Overheated Chimney Cause
Damage To Two Homes

Frozen water pipes and plumb
ers' blow torch were responsible for
a fire at the James Winter home
last week late Wednesday after
noon, just as we We're printing the
Herald. The fire was confined to
the space under the floor and it
was necessary to cut hole in the
floor to extinguish the blaze. Lit
tie damage resulted.
Sank Centres Fire Department
was also called to the farm home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Leo TRACER Sat
urday, where a fire ragged in a
clothes closet. The fire evidently
started from an overheated CHM
ney. AS the road from the high
way to the home was snowbound
the firemen were unable to drive
the fire fighting apparatus into the
yard and were forced to leave it
on the highway. When they ar
rived at the home members of the
family had the fire practically I'M
der control, and a water pail brig
ade completed the work. There
was considerable damage to the
interior of the house near the closet
and to clothes stored in that room.

Editor S. c. Herald,
Sank Centre, Minnesota
Dear Sir:
Have just received the Herald
of February IS, 1941, and note with
a feeling of sorrow the passing of
Wesley Boyer, a friend of my early
boyhood. Many, many years have
passed since we, as small kids, went
to the same school. I well remem-
Der the Boyer family, living near
the lake, west of what is now Main
Street, and where your park is
now located.
Wesley's father was a soldier, sta
toned in the Old Stockade at that
time 1884 and 1869. In later years,
I became well acquainted with the
father, who worked during the
threshing season at Westport, and
was one of the crew on a machine
owned by the writer.
wish to extend to the relatives
of my boyhood friend, my sincere
sympathy.

YOU CAN'T HAVE YOUR
BUTTER AND EAT 1T TOO!-

"You can't have your butter
and eat it too" could not very
well apply to the Battery Head
quarters outfit which left Sank
Centre recently for California,
but the boys found out they
can't leave their butter in Sank
Centre and eat 1t. Before leav-
ing the outfit was careful to
pack everything needed, and
they carried out their packing
duties methodically and care
fully. But, 10 and behold, they
could find no butter for break
fast on the train Friday morn
ing. A telegram from Captain
Carl Fischer to Ed Peterson,
asked that Ed go to the Luth-
eran Church, where the boys
had their mess hall while locat-
ed in the armory here, and get
the fifty pounds of butter they
had planned to take along. Ed
took it to the creamery and
received check for it and then
sent the stipend on to California.
We know the boys didn't miss
on the butter, for they could
borrow or buy from another
company aboard train, and they
stopped enroute for a new sup
ply of the product that has
made Minnesota famous. Any
thing else could have been for
gotten, but you can't expect
Minnesotans to go without but
ter, because they know what
side their bread Is buttered on.
