The Standing

Hey, pal, sneak a quick look up
there at the top Of that standing
and ! do mean hurry, because there
is no telling how long We old
Rangers will be able to stand that
lofty altitude. They found them
selves on the same pinnacle once
Y before this season but they lasted
only about an hour. Il seems
those Leathernecks resent the least
. bit Of company up, there at the top
and can you blame them? They
have been In possession Of that
spot for twenty consecutive weeks
and who likes to get kicked out Of
o home Just when they are getting
settled?
Last week found the Doughboys
cashing In on slight letdowns by
the Leathernecks and Rangers, this
time 1t was the Rangers turn.
While their respective rivals were
struggling to win pair Of matches
from second division teams, Pal
ner's gang hoped on to the Fly
ing Tigers for weep of three
games. With the Commands beat
ing the Marines In the first game
and the Bombadiers overcoming the
Doughboys in their second match,
the Rangers picked up a most i'm
portant game on each.
The tenseness of this thrilling
race Is beginning to tell on some
Of the boys. A verbal battle be-
tween the captains of the two clubs
deadlocked at the top took place
when one went just a little out of
bounds with his advice on how to
beat the Leathernecks. The boys
exchanged words but If any of you
are looking for feud between the
two, you are going to be disap-
pointed because these two under
stand each other, and forgive and
forget.
The Commands were out to
knock of the Neckers last week
Just as anybody likes to knock of
the leaders. They were able to win
only one game but they threw
terrific scare into the pacesetters
in the other two before bowling out.
AS q matter of fact they had 1850
pinfall to 1886 for the Marines
Pete RinaIdi's gang gets a chance
at the other leader this week and
they viii be tough fellows. Rangers,
make no mistake about that.
The Doughboys and Leathernecks
meet up this week In the most i'm
p0rtant match Of the season for the
etOkesmen. THEY HAVE GOT TO
WIN THIS MATCH or consider
themselves out Of the pennant pic
ture. The LeatheFnecks could af-
ford \ one point loss and still be
very much In the race. Bill Cor
man, who acts as Mr.. Stokes In
tarpFeter, informed me that this Is
the match that Is going to make or
break the D. BIS.
Benny Stokes started or the
night IKE he was going 10 break
into the 900 set, spiilins the mapies
Cor q ia9 game. Hen ran Into

wound ip with q $50 total. JosJo
Adamchick was thu leagues high
man with q 800 score. Just two pins

Still Danger OF
Sleeping Sickness

Because of last years excellent
record in fighting sleeping sickness
in horses and mules some Pine county
farmers may decide against vaccinat-
ing their animals this year, County
Agent Clyde P. Shumway reports,
and added that they may be taking
undue risks.
The disease has gained a foothold
in Minnesota, w. L. Boyd, chief in
the veterinary division at University
Farm said, and while last years out
break was very mild compared to
1941 when cases were reported in
more than 80 counties, it is believed
that cooler summer weather and the
larger number of animals vaccinated
last year were important controlling
factors. He said that prolonged heat
spells this summer and any marked
decrease in the number of vaccinated
animals may set up ideal conditions
for an outbreak such as that exper-
fenced two years ago.
DR.. Boyd stated that the best time
to vaccinate is in May or early June
before the disease makes its appear
ance in the community Last year
approximately $4,000 animals were
vaccinated in Minnesota. Early
symptoms of sleeping sickness are
loss of appetite, sluggishness, and
later, unsteady movements and wob-
bly, gait.
