Minnesotan Believes Quality of Play Could Be Improved by Schooling One of the largest crowds in Bis- marck’s baseball history is expected to turn out here Sunday for the championship game of the state jun- jor American Legion tournament which got under way with four games Priday. Gov. Walter Welford is expected to toss out the ball for the title fray with the probability that Spencer 8. Boise, state Legion commander, will make the first toss from the pitcher's box to Frank Webb, state athletic of- ficer, to formally open the contest. The Bismarcx high school band, ler the direction of Clarion E. Lar- son, will provide music. The contestants in the final game were to be determined Saturday af- ternoon with Bismarck meeting Grand Forks, defending champions, in what is expected to be a red-hot encounter and Minot billed against Fargo. Magicians Favored Dopesters made the Magicians fa- vorites over their Red river valley op- ponents on the basis of their respec- tive showings Friday. Two outstanding features of the week-end athletic program were the baseball parade Friday afternoon and the water pageant staged at the municipal swimming pool in the even- ing. Members of all eight teams were guests of honor Friday night at a banquet in the World War Memorial Webb was. the principal speaker. Frank. Blume and Barney Daugherty, the umpires, got a big hand from the players.and @ gentle razzing from the grown-ups.. Both are members of the Legion in. Minnesota. . Mayor A. P. Lenhart welcomed. the visitors for the city and Commander Kenneth W. Simons extended greet- ings on behalf of the host post of the American Legion. Harry Rosenthal, past grand chef de gare of the 40 and 8, Legion honor so- ciety which has done much to en- courage junior baseball, extended greetings on behalf of that organiza- tion. There were other speakers but the real hero of the occasion didn’t say a word. He was Erling Nasset, pitcher for the New England team, whose eness in defeat drew tribute from Webb and cheers from the members of other teams. Despite poor support by sume of his mates, Webb said, Nasset “hung right in there” and gave a masterly pitch- ing exhibition under discouraging cir- cumstances. Webb said Nasset’s spirit exemplified what the Legion is trying to build up through its baseball pro- gram. Mention was made of the fact that Nasset lives 17 miles from New Eng- land and has never been able to prac- tice with his team, playing with his fellows only in scheduled games. Nasset stood up at Webb’s request and was given a spontaneous cheer.

Rein- REDS FIGHT POLICE AFTER RIPPING FLAG OFF GERMAN LINER Bruising Battle Precipitated as Bremen's Swastika Is Hurled Into Hudson New York, July 27.—(@—Commun- ists ripped the German flag, with Nazi swastika superimposed, from the bow of the liner Bremen early Saturday, hurled it into the swirling Hudson, and precipitated a bruising fight between nearly 2,000 of their own number and 375 policemen. One man was shot, two policemen were serevely injured, scores of other participants in the battle were cut and bruised. Excepting skirmishes on the bow of the liner and in the tourist class section, most of the fighting took place in the street in front of the pler from which the boat sailed a half hour late at 12:30 a. m. The Communists later choked the street in front uf the West 47th street Police station, where they demanded release of their fellows arrested in the earlier fighting, and brought on @ second pitched battle in which or- dinary citizens, awakened from their slumbers, joined the police. Buckets of water were poured from upstairs windows as the Communists chanted: “Free the arrested seamen!” Household articles and other missiles were hurled into the street. Reserve policemen summoned from their beds, charged with nightsticks and black-jacks. The Communists sought the shelter of doorways. Either the flag that had been hauled down or another one was later run up on the bow of the Bre- men with elaborate ceremony and many salutes, and songs in praise of “Der Fuehrer.” Dillinger Mobster in | Hettinger Druggist | Loses His Right Arm ¢ left a Bismarck hospital for home Friday, facing the necessity of learning a new technique in mix- ing prescriptions.

Roby’s drive on the 20th was just four feet from the cup, while Cook’s was short. Cook’s second was short again and after missing his putt he conceded the hole to Roby. PEACHES DESTROYED UNDER NEW N.

Walter Welford Satur- day issued a proclamation directing district court judges to administer the mortgage moratorium law. No execution or writ of attachment to dispossess anyone of real or person- al property should be issued, Welford directed, although he pointed out that where such writs are applied for, the courts have the power to act as courts of equity. ‘ As @ result of the proclamation, th: acting governor will not act on at- tachments personally as has been the custom for the past two years. Ap- Peals from action of district courts, however, may be carried to him, Wel- ford said. He pointed out that the last legis- lature passed a “legal” moriatorium under which the courts could act with @ free hand on all mortgage fore- closure cases, similar to the Minne- sota law. To augment this Saturday's Proclamation was issued, he said, as added protection. “It is my judgment that all interests will be properly served and in my Moratorium proclamation I am re- quiring the courts to exercise the prerogatives expected of them in and under the provisions of our constitu- tion,” Welford etated. “I expect to uphold the judgment of these courts but will not deny a hearing to any person who considers that he has been improperly treated or whose rights have been infringed upon in any improper manner. I sincerely hope that matters will not, again reach the state where martial rule will be required to protect our citizens and to prevent unnecessary foreclosures, evictions, or disposses- The governor said his proclamation had been approved by a committee of the Farm Holiday association which had “exprssed their satisfaction” in its provisions.

Mexico Will Settle Provincial Trouble | Army Worms Attack N. D. Flax Fields ’ Four Killed in Billings Refinery Oil Storage Explosion Civic Guards in Irish Outbreak LOSSES MAY RANGE FROM 5 TO 100 PER GENT, MUNRO SAYS Entomologist Recommends That Farmers Plow Protective Barrier Ditches CROPS RAVAGED BY STORM Farm Expert Warns Against Cutting Infested Grain on Green Side Unless immediate steps are taken to check depredations of the army worm, North Dakota flax growers, Particularly in the central counties, will suffer damage ranging from 5 per cent to total loss, J. A. Munro, North Dakota Agricultural college entomol- ogist told The Bismarck Tribune Sat- urday, after a tour of badly infested fields. Near Buchanan in Stutsman county, Munro examined a 75-acre flax field on the Paul Lulai farm. The inch- and-a-half long green worm had com- pletely stripped 35 acres and was steadily devouring its way into the balance of the plot. With County Agent H. O. Putnam, Munro was making a survey of in- fested Burleigh county fields to de- termine the extent of the here. He also will study fields in other counties before returning to Fargo. Don’t Like Ditches To halt the devastating green wave, Munro recommends the plowing of a barrier ditch with the furrow turned toward the worms. When the worms have filled the ditch, a second furrow should be plowed to. bury the pests. This procedure should be repeated ag the worms have been beaten The furrows should be plowed around those sections of the field most heavily infested, Munro said. not noticeable until they have tained mature size, Murno that farmers with flax fields make a careful investigation and i worms are found to begin extermination measures. The worms first strip the leaves, then burrow into the boles which even- tually topple off, Munro said. Advises Cultivation Munro recommends that infested fields be thoroughly eultivated this fall. They should be harrowed and disced thoroughly so as to bring pupae to the surface where their tural enemies and the elements kill them off. Army worms were reported ft first time in the history of the sta\ 1928. In 1929 losses were severe. year is the first time since then renreeons have been reported, Munro Munro is directing experiments with poison dust and bran to determine the efficacy of insecticides in com- batting the worm. Explaining the life cycle of the pest, Munro said that by the middle of August the worm will begin burrowing into the ground where it changes to the pupa form.
