Drilled by Edward Hanlon,

after the Orioles had turned in

New YorkS that Ward claimed
they were not playing baseball,
but new game.
When the opposition copied
Hanlon'S game, he devised ways
to break up his own plays.
Switching to Brooklyn in
1899, Hanlon bagged two sue

his clubs a record of five flags,

St. Louis Drops
to Last Place
in 9-7DefeQt

In a battle to see who would
and who would not occupy the
cellar position in the Junior
League, Miller Bros. Creamery
nosed out st. Lot s, 81. at Grit
fifth Field last night.
Miller Bros. started their scor-
ing in the first inning, when
Petitpren drew base on balls
and scored on DeSmith's triple.
st. Louis got that run back in
the second on four walks. Mil
ler's made ii 81 as they added
pair in the third. Two singles,
walk and DuBays double ac-
counted for the brace of scores.
The Creamery lads increased
their lead by two runs in the
fifth when a walk, two singles
and fielder's choice put the
markers across. The Saints rail-
lied for three runs in their half
of the fifth to get back in the
game. Three passes and doubles
by Ross and Miller resulted in
the TALES.
Rich gave Miller's another
unter in the sixth as he sim
gled and Furton scored him
with another one ply blow.
Three more Miller runs were
scored in the seventh on three
singles, a double by Mouille-
seaux and an error. Five walks
and triple b.. Miller nearly
resulted in a different ending
to the game in the St. Louis
half of the seventh, but Ken
DuBay, Miller hurler, struck out
the last batter with the bases
loaded.
DeSmith. DuBay and Lick all
had two hits in four trips to the
plate to pace the Miller aggre-
cation. Miller also had two for
four, getting a double and triple,
to top the st. Louis club.

THYE SPEAKS
TO RATARIANS

Gubernatorial problems, particularly
those dealing with the human relations
and welfare efforts of the state, were
discussed by Gov. Edward j. Thye,
who addressed 1875 members and guests
of the Ely Rotary club and its out
post group at Tower at the annual Ely
Rotary-Ann banquet at Birch Point
Inn on Lake Vermilion last week.
Governor Thye was accompanied by
his daughter on a tour of the range,
spending several hourse here touring
the mines and visiting with business
men before going to Tower.
The governors office, Thye said,
deals not only with legislation and
state business, but in a greater meas
ure is concerned with the relations of
the individual to the state.
A major problem now, he said, is
juvenile delinquency attributed to war
conditions where parents are employed
and permit children to fend for them
selves. The states welfare agencies
are faced with a great burden, and he
urged the combined efforts of every
parents to help meet this problem.

million persons before coming to

ing an address and just relaxing and
listening.
Joe Jordan, Duluth, governor of the
117th district of Rotary, was a guest,
speaking briefly.
DR.. C. Gordon Watson was toast
master. A 50-candle birthday cake
was presented to Editor P Schaefer in
commemoration of the 50th birthday
