Ely Again Leads in

Back again at the top of the Range
Baseball standings, Ely's battling
SluggerS will travel to Hibbing Sun
day afternoon to engage the Miners
Powerful in their own right and
fighters as well, the Hibbing club can
blast E1y's title drive once again by
turning back the Vern1ilion range crew
The Sunday game is one of a series
of crucial contests facing Manager
Fritz Banks and his boys as the drive
into the home stretch starts.
Cook, league newcomer and one of
three teams keeping company in the
cellar during the first round. played
giant killer last Sunday, turning back
the title-bound Chisholm club in 10
innings, 81 This defeat, along with
Ely's 14-5 win at Taconite, hoisted Ely
to the top position and sent the Red
Sox to second.
Now the league title race is again a
wide open affair, with only Eveleth
and Taconite out of the running.
Last week Manager Banks was given
permission to play Ely's two post
poned games with Eveleth the week
after the regular schedule has been
completed, or Aug. II. They will be
played here in a doubleheader.

three local operators plan to bull
hangers before the year is over.
In addition to the above seaplan
equipment, there are two land plane
and a fire-proof hangar here, making
Ely indeed an aviation center of con
siderable note. The landing field await
only a moderate amount of develop
ment to give it airport status.
| The Seaplane has provided a rapiC
means Of communication between in,
| accessible points within the Superior
National Forest.
1t is doing yeoman work in The
transportation of freight, cutting cir.
cular routes that require days tt
| travel by boat or canoe to mere
| minutes by air. They have hauled
everything from hay for horses tc
lumber for buildings, and some re-
sort owners use them for transporting
bulky articles that cannot be handily
taken by boat.
Ely has made the front pages of the
states newspapers many times for sea-
plane or std-equipped plane rescue
trips. The news part, of course, was
only sideIight to the real service per-
formed, of bringing relief to people in
distress in remote sections of the Wild
ernesS. These trips have ranged from
flying trading post operators with
frozen feet out of the border country
to taking doctors in to give emergency
treatment to stricken people.
Seaplanes for fishing trips are in
great demand, especially by people
seeking a quick means of reaching re-
mote points within the Superior Ma
tional Forest. Others here for only
a day or two kill two birds with one
stone by taking advantage of the
seapIane service-they get to see
large portion of the wilderness area
and fish in choice angling waters be-
fore their short stay is ended.

One local operator says that he
doesn't know how much the seaplane
business will be developed here. It
has advanced markedly even in the
past year When the operators them
selves don't know for sure what lies
ahead, there is no use for anyone
else hazarding a guess. The least
that can be said, however, is that the
has solidly established itself
in this gateway city to the wilderness,
and that its growth will be determined
by the service it performs.

SUNSTROKE AND
HEAT EXHAUSTION.

Be alert to the difference in symp-
toms between sunstroke and heat ex-
haustion because the treatment for
each is very different says medical
authority After long exposure to the
sun or to high temperatures, people
may become unconscious and it is
well to recognize other symptoms be-
fore trying to help. In sunstroke, the
face is flushed and the body is ex-
tremely hot and dry to the touch
treatment should be given to lower this
heat by sponging the body with cold
water after moving the patient to a
cool place. No stimulants should be
given. In heat exhaustion, the face
is pale and the body is cold and
covered with clammy sweat. The pa
tent should again be removed from
the source of the heat but IN this
case he should be covered with a
light blanket or other covering to
prevent shock Stimulants such as
coffee, tea, or spirits Of ammonia In
water should be given

The peStiferious fly has no friends
and is hated by men and animals alike
But that same fly, although it is {
shame to give it credit for anything
is responsible for affording seaplant
passengers some wonderful views Of
the Superior National Forests wild
life.
Hounded by flies and other insects
moose and deer are being driven from
the cover of the woods to water, where
they stand in cool protecting lakes
to escape the persistent insects.
Seaplane pilots here report that in
the Crooked lake territory many OF
he giants Of the forest, and deer. too,
can be seen any time of the day. Moose
are comparatively numerous, the pilots
say, and deer are even more plentiful
Greatest moose country is around
Nina Moose lake and Lake Agnes, and
it probably has the highest moose pop
ulation of any area in the Superior
National Forest.
Although no reports have come in
about spOtting moose from the air in
that area, it undoubtedly will prove
fruitful hunting for flying sightseers.
Due north of the Portage River CCC
camp, Nina Moose and Agnes lakes
las. winter provided some breath-tak-
ing animal scenes. Moose and deer
were very easily spotted against the
white snow.
Bears, attracted to high ridges by
bIueberries ripened by the sun, are
also easily picked out from the air.
On top high points of land, they
stand out clearly, and several mothers
with cubs have been picked out from
the air.
People who would like to see the
North Woods from a new angle can
fulfill this desire by taking a Seaplane
sightseeing trip. The cost of such
trips when made by a party Of three
or four persons is quite reasonable. In
about 80 minutes flying time, so miles
of one of the greatest primitive wild
ernesses in the nation can be covered.
From a rather small beginning sew
eraI years ago, Ely's seaplane facili-
ties have grown steadily until they are
reported to form the most extensive |
inland seaplane base in the country. |

Ely romped to a runaway 14-5 win
at Taconite Sunday to set what may
be record for hits scored in one
game. The Vermilion range club
clouted out 18 safe blows, with Man
ager Banks leading the parade with
four hits and Don Prola and Tony
Stukel close behind with three each.
Starting the opening inning with
three singles and two doubles that
brought in four runs, the Ely batters
attacked the slnatS of Pitcher Drab-
mix of Taconite without mercy.
In the eighth four singles a double,
and three-bagger, with the help of
five Taconite errors and a wild pitch
that smacked John PuceI, sending
him to first, were good for eight runs.
Pitcher Pucel of Ely turned in
nifty ball game, allowing but seven
scattered hits Two of Taconite's
runs came in after men had gotten on
first as the result of errors, and IRON
ically enough, these were the only
two misplays made by the Ely team
during the entire game Even in de-
feat the Taconite hurler displayed
flashes of unbeatable form, register
ing eight strikeouts.

The Ely Legion baseball team will
engage Eveleth here Friday at 2:30
p. m. in the first of two games which
may determine whether the district
has new champion. The second will
be at Virginia July %.
With the three clubs tied with a
victory and a defeat apiece, the race
for the title is wide open affair. It
is very likely that a three-way tie
may result, necessitating a playof to
determine the district winner.
Eveleth stole the spotlight from Ely
and Virginia by whitewashing Ely,
SO, Friday on the EVeleth diamond.
The possibility of a tie for the cham
ponShip depends great deal on how
EVeleth comes out in its games with
Virginia and Ely this week If last
years runnerup takes both contests,
it will cinch the championship. but
if it splits the games, then the race
will still be nip and tuck.
In the game with Eveleth tomorrow
afternoon, Ely will be in a do-or-die
position. A defeat for Ely will put
the champions into the "also ran"
bracket, with only the possibility that
three-way tie may materialize to
give them a second chance at retaining
the title. A win will place them but
one game away from a return trip to
the inter-district tournament.
The unexpected reverse at Eveleth
came because Ely could not produce
the hits to bring the men on base
home. The boys got men on the bags
time and again, but attempts to score
them failed.
Ely left nine men stranded on bases,
with the four-hit pitching Of Edward
Kocevar of Eveleth turning back every
effort by Ely to bring the men home.

Appeal Is Made Especially To
Those Who Haven't Made
Any Contributions.

The final drive to raise $4,000
so that the hospital can be opened
Saturday, debt-free and have lit
tie money on hand to pay initial
operating expenses is making fair
ly good progress, Lem Hafer,
chairman of the finance commit
tee, reports.
He announced, however, that
around $4,000 more are needed and
issued special plea yesterday for
everyone to make a contribution
between now and Saturday morn
ing, if possible.
1T certainly will be a wonder
full thing if we can pay all of our
bills and have some operating
capital before the opening, and
1 urge everybody in the county to
make a liberal contribution, Mr..
Hafer said.
"Those who have not given any,
thing are especially requested to
cooperate now and thereby have
definite part in the establish
ment of this wonderful institu-
ton.
"Checks or money can be sent
either to me, members of the fin
ance committee, Treas. Roy Bad
