handing the Farmers Union their
first defeat. The score Saturday
night was 3 to 2.
The game say many good plays
that turnend sure looking hits into
outs and the outcome of the game
was in doubt to the last out. Abb
Racki pulled the defense feats of
both games by coming up with
catches that took the heart out of
the Miles City team at a time when
it could have tied the count or gone
ahead.
Tuesday in Laurel the Billings

Players Go Into
Training For
Donkey Game

With only a few days left be-
fore the big Donkey game Monday
the players have been going at their
training in a serious manner 1t
is reported that Colin Welch and Sid
Peers, between settings of fire hos
es, have been going over to the
neighbors barn for conditioning, and
with only a few saddle sores to
date.
Bobbie Burns has been bounding
the management for a change of
first baseman, however, since he
says that it will be too darn con-
fusing to figure out whether to
throw to the donkey or to Belinak.
AL Rack has been complaining
because his donkey won't be fast
enough to let him catch those line
drives and then roll over to make
it look spectacular like at Miles
City, but Jack Moore who has spent
IL years training these mules, as
sures him that he may be quite
surprised.
Of course the Laurel Merchants
don't figure to take any back seat,
and insist that the Farmers Union
will need more than donkeys to keep
pace with them when they start
to roll. In fact there is a big
game coming up in the near future
where these two teams will battle
it out on the big diamond.
Doc Mccormick says that they are
really coming up with a dark horse
for this game, but Yuda says that
there's nothing to it and that all
they will have is donkey horses in
stead of dark horses. But never
theless the chips will be flying Mon
day night and Sorg of the Mer-
chants claims that it will be a breeze
for them. AS for the fans their
only hope is that the breeze will
be blowing the other way as they
cheer for their favorite to come
home.

Which Huzed New Members

CHAMPAIGN, LILA hazing in
which a fraternity pledge was left
bound, ~blindfolded and only partly
clothed in a cornfield on a freezing
night was revealed at the University
of Illinois.
The university announced it had
suspended and denied university
recognition" to the fraternity, Tau
Epsilon Phi, one of the oldest and
largest or the campus.
Joseph Ewers, university security
officer, said he was making a full
investigation of hazing reports at a
number of the university's SIS other
fraternities.
He said he had received reports
from farmers about freshmen being
taken into the country, mistreated
and left to walk home, a far as
eight miles, or bitterly cold nights.
"Hazing will not be permitted"
said Dean of Students Fred H. Turn
err: "It was barred when l came to
the university 80 years ago, and it
still is"
The pledge whose hazing brought
the action against Tau Epsilon Phi
is a 17-year-old high school gradu-
ate.
He was left in the field with only
his topcoat, put on backwards by his
tormentors, and with eggs rubbed in
his hair and his face painted, the
university's disciplinary committee
said.

Find Runaway After
So Years Absence

LANCASTER, PA.-A 76-year-old
man who ran away from his New
ark, N. j., home SO years ago and
was given up for dead has been
found in the Lancaster county home
for aged.
A volunteer worker in the home
was given credit for solving the dis
appearance of Samuel Gleitzman.
Five years ago a man who gave
his name as Samuel Gleitz came to
the home with a broken leg. He said
he had no home and no relatives.
He has lived here since then.
Mrs. Abe Levitt became interested
in Gleitz. After hours of converse
ton she learned he ran away from
home because he vas tired of his
fathers strict discipline.
Mrs. Levitt's friend, Mrs. j. M.
Booth, was going to Newark and Of
fered to search for Gleitz's rela-
tives. There were no listings under
that name in the Newark phone
book.
On a bunch, Mrs. Booth looked at
the Gleitzman listings and selected
at random the number of Harold
A. Gleitzman.
Gleitzman remembered his long
lost uncle.
Back in Lancaster, Gleitz vas re-
luctant to talk about himself, but
admitted to Mrs. Levitt that he had
changed his name and that Harold
Gleitzman is his nephew.
The aged man chuckled when he
recalled that for more than two
years after leaving home he worked
in a small hat shop "only a few
blocks from my home"
"The police were looking for me,
but they didn't find me-" he told
Mrs. Levitt.
