Ely Wins From Miners
Sc; Plays Virginia
Sunday Night.

| It took 6-run inning to do it. but
the Ely baseball team came through
with an 8-6 win over Hibbing on the
Ely diamond Sunday afternoon.
Playing in ideal baseball weather
before a crowd only fraction of the
size it should have been compared
with the entertainment dished out, the
Vermilion range club ganged up unmer-
cifully on the visiting pitcher to crack
out six hits good for runs and turn
an impending defeat into victory.
The Hibbing Miners held a 6-2 ad-
vantage as Ely went to bat in the last
half of the eighth inning. Al Banks
went to first on walk for Ely's only
unearned advantage of the inning
after which Manager Fritz Banks and
Tony Stukel were thrown out at first.
Then the fun started.
John Glavan poled out double to
score Al Banks, and W. v. "Bin" Lam
gen, Joe Novak, Don Prola, Al Rowe,
and Frank Vertnik, next up in the
order named, all connected for singles
that accounted for more runs to
make the total for the inning g.
The Ely batters, in their glory for
once this season if they never are
again, had the Miners digging their
spikes into the turf as they chased
balls hither and yon
After surviving that hitting attack,
Pitcher Seanlon of Hibbing again
cfo rfad N, or, tl,a Tlx, ol,,h &C Al Do,te
came to bat for the second time, and
the side was retired as Banks was
thrown out at first.
After Al Banks, Glavan. Langen,
and Novak had crossed the plate to
tie the score at 6 all, Prola, former
Legion team star who replaced Carlo
Golob in the eighth, crossed the plat
ter with the winning run as Rowe,
another Legion player, smacked out
burning line drive. Pitcher Vertnik
helped out the cause by garnering a
single from himself that brought
Rowe over the plate to put the game
on ice.
The Miners made a pitiful attempt
to even matters as the ninth opened,
but the best they could do was to put
a man on second where he died.
While the Hibbing club left the
diamond a beaten team, they played
through seven innings under very
much different circumstances. The
Miners opened the game with 2-run
spree, and added more to their total
in the third to lead Al, as Ely marked
up lone counter in the second when
Novak got on with a single and scored
as Golob banged out double.
Manager Banks accounted for Ely's
second run in the sixth, but the Miners
added 2 more counters to their adj
vantage in the seventh to make the
game look almost in the bag.
But almost wasn't quite enough. as
Ely proved in the eighth. And to the
Ely people who left about that time
thinking that Hibbing had the game
sewed UP, it might be said never

SHORTS ABOUT
TOURISTS

Rochester, Minnesota made world
famous by its Mayo Clinic, now seems
destined to emerge as a point of
special interest TO tourists interested
in trees, according to reports received
by the state tourist bureau.
A red elm seven feet and two inches
in circumference at the base and 80
feet tall had been entered in the
American Forestry association national
survey to locate and preserve the giant
specimens Of American trees.
Of the 70 trees listed, the tallest is
redwood, in Humboldt county, Call
ifornia 1t is 1854 feet high and meas
ures Al feet around at the base It is
known as The Founders Tree The
second tallest is sequoia-272 feet
inches tall and 101 feet. 6 inches in
circumference. It is in Sequoia Ma
tional Park in California.
Resolutions commencing the state
conservation departments hunting,
fishing and water sports safety pro-
gram and urging greater public sup
port for it were adopted at the recent
meeting of the state safety council.
Everything now points to the fact
that more anglers were lured to Min
nesota's 1000 lakes on May 18th of
this year than at any previous opener.
Almost all available reports indicate
that good fishing has characterized
the season In several of the resort
areas it took less than three hours to
hook the limit of wall-eyes on the
opening day.
That the size of the fish caught was
highly gratifying, is indicated by the
first eight wall-eyes entered in the
fishing contest in one resort area
typical of most of the others which
weighed as follows:
Ten pounds, three ounces; eight
pounds, three ounces; two, seven
pounds and 10 ounces each; six pounds

Ely Tops Field in
Range League Race
Takes Over First in the
Standings as EUeLeth
Drops Chisholm.

Manager Fritz Banks and his Ely
baseball team took over first place in
the Range league with their Sunday
win as the circuits newcomer, Eve
leth, stunned the potent Chisholm Red
Sox with a TO setback on the Sox's
own diamond.
But Ely's position atop the standings
is going to be a pretty hot spot to stay
on, for league members have a noted
reputation for cunning for undefeated
fellow clubs.
Ely has reversed its performance for
the opening portion of past seasons
during which it rested at the bottom
Of the standings with only a goose

the club had four or five consecutive
defeats marked up against it, the team
completed the rest of the schedule
with a whirlwind of consecutive VIC
tories, but too late to catch the league
leaders.
This year, to date, promises to be
different. Young, aggressive ball
players predominant in the Ely lineup,
and their enthusiasm, coupled with the
experience of older heads, may pro-

BUCKLEY GIVES CALL
TO LEGION BALL CLUB
HdugLrGtes Practice to
Defend District Title
Won Last Year.

Candidates for the 1941 Legion bas
ketbau team are working out each aft
ernoon in preparation for the opening
of the campaign the middle of th'
month.
Coach Edward T. Buckley issued tht
call for recruits Monday, and a gooc
number Of future city team stars turned
out to help defend the district cham
pionShip won last summer by the loca-
Legion nine.
After several mediocre seasons, the
club really went to town last summer
dropping but one game in eight starts
to win the championship of the Yer
Million esabi district. The lone set
back was at the hands of Eveleth, To-
and came after Ely defeated Eyeleth
1912, in the campaigns opener.
Playing at Chisholm in the Eighth
district tournament, Ely drew the West
Duluth Cubs, and was dropped from the
tournament, 11-2, when the Cubs
staged a scoring spree in the late in
nings to overcome a 10 advantage held
by the Vermilion range club.
The Legion nine has provided valu-
able material for the city team, with
Frank Vertnik, present pitcher, and
John PuceI, relief hurler, among
others. graduating from the ranks Of
the Legion baseball players.
The Legion team has also staged its
share of the shows, and its players
have marked up some enviable records.
This is especially true of the pitchers.
George Butorac turned in no-hit,
no-run contest two years ago against
Tower to get into the baseball hall Of
fame, while Vertnik hurled a no-run
contest.
Ely, Eveleth, Gilbert, Virginia, and
Mountain Iron are certain of having
teams in the field this summer, while
Aurora, Biwabik and Tower may have
clubs. Claud Graves, Hibbing, is
drawing up a schedule, which is ex-
pected TO call for opening games the
third week in June.
Ely's record last season follows:
Ely 10, Eveleth 2.
Ely II, Gilbert 5.
Ely 9. Mountain Iron l.
Ely 10. Virginia Z.
Ely 2. Eveleth 7.
Ely Is, Gilbert 7.

-(R-In, q vigorous, full-time

at her home beside the Hudson

There was reason to believe
that the chief executive would
analyze the entire world situa-
ton, perhaps with special en-
phasis on the battle of the At
lantic.
But any such consideration
was completely out Of the Pres
ident's mind yesterday. For he
stood beside an open grave and
heard the Episcopal order for
the burial Of the dead read for
his 86-year-old mother.
In measured cadence the bell
In the church tower tolled the
hour Of four. Unflinchingly, but
with his eyes blinking rapidly,
the president stood at the foot
Of the grave, both sorrow and
courage etched in the seams of
his face.
There were seconds Of silence
- the service ended. Then the
chief executive entered q closed
White House car and drove back

mother shared for some 80
years.
