Everett Dean. Val- ley City, second baseman, played spectacularly, and Ellis, Collins and} Lehman, Bismarck outfielders, got! hands for fine work in the field. i Valley took the lead in the third) inning and Bismarck fans Pulled hard; -for the team to overcome the lead. Ernster, Valley Pitcher, was in hot} water a number of times but he pull-/ ed out in all but one inning, when one; run was scored. Each side got a num-! ber of men on bases and the fans were on their toes all of the time There was practically no rag-chewing and Valley City’s clean playing won| @.lot of commendation. _ Valley City got her three runs in the third. Kaplan singled. Ernster sacrificed. Klein singled to center, scoring Kaplan and taking second on’ the throw in. Dean singled to right sending Klein to third and taking| second on the throw-in. Schanlaub singled: to right, scoring Klein and Dean. ‘The next batter went. out, third to'first, ending the Valley scor- ing for the game. Locals Score One.

Collins also took a ‘pass to first, loading up the bags.. Lehman fanned and Wingfield filed to center ending a promising frame for Bismarck. és Keep After Him. ‘The Bismarck club kept after Eri- ster and had him ‘apparently start- dng to blow up several times but hs held together and the Valley team put the old game in the bat bag. The two teams play again at 6:15 this evening and at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon, and good, fast games are agsured. The Valley City team is one pf the most aggressive fielding teams seen here, being much strengthened since its previous visit. The box score: Valley City. AB Klein, cf .. Conroy, 83 Dean, 2b ..

This play often resulted in a double play. If it did not result in a double play it killed off the runner nearest home at Teast. This play was pulled very often to the rules were changed to do away with this trick play. A rule was adopted that put the batter out auto- matically when first base, or first and second, or first, second and third base were full, whether the catcher caught the third strike or not. In this dis- puted Play at Mandan the umpire should have permitted the men on bases to advance one base only, The rule covering a “blocked” or “dead ball” covers that point. In this play the fact that the batter tried to bunt on the third strike should not be con- sidered at all as it has no bearing on the play. ‘It the third strike with a man on first. so he was out auto- matically. The bat boy picking the bail up less’ than 90 feet from the plate made the ball “dead” or “blocked.” This entitied the runners to advance one base.

A gigantic statue of Friedrich. Barbarossa stands beneath the great Kyffhaeuser memorial and represents him leading Germany on to victory. Until the defeat of France made Friedrich Barbarossa’s resurrection possible he is supposed to have lived in a cave beneath the eminence on which the great memorial was erec ed. A statue of the old emperor with-| in the cave represents him as sleep- ing wtih his head resting upon a mar- ‘ble table through which his red beard grew, 1 Friedrich Rueckert and many. other German poets have sung of the red- bearded emperor who refused to die but merely went to sleep, after de- scending into the enchanted cavern and taking the glory of the empire rected spirit of Barbarossa is again turned back, to the 13th century. The ravens still fly about the) hill where Hindenburg and his comrades-in-arms gathered to do honor to the regime which has given way befote demo- cratic forces.

OBERAMMERGAU ACTIVE SCENE Oberammergau, July 29,—Since the decision was made to give the delayed Passion Play in 1932 Oberammergau. has taken on new life: Carpenters, painters and masons, many of them wearing long hair and beards which mark them as participants in pre- vious.dramatizations of the passion of Jesus Chrst, are. restoring. the open- air theater and villas which had no at- tention during the war period. Busy housewives are preparing their homes for the reception of vis- itors who will fill the little village next summer. Scene-painters are re- building and restoring the representa- tions of parts of the Holy Land where Jesus lived and died and rose again from the tomb. Needlewomen are fashioning _robes with him. Ravens were supposed to fly over the hill surmounting the cav- ern and when they stopped flying the sleeping monarch was to awake and resume leadership. g Like Rip Van Winkle, Friedrich Barbarossa had pygmies for his com- panion and these droll folk. were sup- eosed to keep continually on thé watch that they might arouse the sleeping emperor when the ravens gave the signal for: him to arise.

SATURDAY, JULY 30, 1921 for the apostles and scores of other ‘biblical figures who participate in the play. Although the cast will not be elected by the directors of the play until October, young women who have distinguished themselves in other re- ligious plays given by the Oberam- mergau folk are fashioning simple 'robes suitablé for the role of Mary ‘in the hope that they will be chosen to enact the part of Jesus’ mother, the highest honor which can come to an Oberammergau woman. The great auditorium which shel- ters spectators of the Passion Play is a wooden structure supported by steel trusses. It has seats for 4,000 persons, arranged much after the plan of a modern opera house.’ When the play is offered one end of the auditor- jum is removed entirely, and the stage stands at some distance from the end of the. buildings, in such a position that the mountains furnish a background for the setting. The au- dience is entirely sheltered in case of rain and the main part of the stage has a glass roof. Even among the children of Ober- ammergau the reverence for the Pas- sion Play is very marked and in imita- tion of ther elders they are constant- ly. acting in the hope of being chosen for important roles in the produc- tion given every ten years. As good character is insisted up- on as the basic requirement for par- ticipation th, the play, the danger of ‘being debarred from a part in the his- toric spectacle is held constantly over the village children and is a far better corrective influence than the bogeys invented for most children. — ——_g—_—__—_—_—_— What comes after the, purchase price?
