SOME LIKELY CANDIDATES IN VIEW Plenty of Aspirants for the Line and Jerome Meyers and Wm. Fraser for the Back Field— Meeting Thursday Evening. Last year, in his movements about the country, the football bug, for the first time in nine years, did not visit Grand Rapjds and consequently we had no city team. Of course, the high school team won enough honors to satisfy most anybody but a Grand Rapids sport, but the boys on the sidelines have always carried the feeling with them that we could cleaned everything in sight with a city team. But to get down to the pertinent question: Shall Grand Rapjds have a city football team this year? The Herald-Review wishes to emphatically state that we shall. There is plenty available material. Among the younger fellows who played on the high school team and who graduated last year are Ralph Brandon, Thomas Erskine, Edw. Erskine, Carl Hepfel and Henry Graffam. These boys all played a fast game on the high | school team and will make good tim- | ber. In addition to these there are several old players for the line, Herbert Miller, “Jack’’ Mulvihill, Man ley Romans, Ed. Herschbach, Donald Fraser, Wm. Shook, John O’Br‘en, | Lester Lofberg and “Jerry” Hicks. | For the backfield there are Jerome | Meyers and Wm. Fraser but the | question is to find a fullback with; sufficient brawn and muscle, as well) as weight, and a quarterback with a good head. Wellein is the man for the job, but he says he does not want to play. It has been decided to hold a football meeting at |Wellein’s billiard |, parlors Thursday evening at which the situation will be talked over and | plans made for the season’s play ; If a fullback and quarterback can be secured there ‘s no reason why Grand Rapids cannot play winning football. Rey. J. G. Larson, rector of the church of the Holy Communica and | a former football star and coach, has signified his willingness to get) out and coach and it is also thought | that Rev. Leo. R. Burrows, pastor of | the Presbyterian church, who fs an} old football player, can be secured to| give the eleven some assistance in the way of coaching. Jos. O’Day, who has managed the city team continuously as far back as the memory of the oldest citizen goes, will undoubtedly have charge this year, as usual. DR.

SHOYNSKI SAYS HE MAY GO AGAIN Writes Interesting Letter to Wm. Weitzel and Says He Is Still In the Ring. Wm. Weitzel of Grand Rapids is one of the old timers who has al- ways taken a lively interest] in the manly art of self-defence. One of the modern gladiators for whom he has @ great admiration is Joe Choynski, who is now director and trainer of the Pittsburgh, (Pa.) Athletic asso- ciation. Mr. Weitzel has been a personal friend of Choynski for @ mumber of years, and he is firm in the belief that his Pittsburgh hero is one of the greatest fighters this country has ever produced. Choynski has a good position in Pittsburgh and says in a personal letter ito Mr. Weitzel that he is doing well. He plans on being able to get away this fall to do some hunting in Itasca county. Speaking of Johnson, the present champion, he says: ‘Yes, Johnson now seems to be the whole cheese in London at the present. But he let him enjoy them. However, he won't live to be forty if he don't says Pittsburgh is a great town for sporting and there is always some- thing on in the pugilistic line. “The men I have seem of late in the ring, look to me like a lot of dubs,” he says, “and I have not siz- ed up any of them who do not ap- pear like easy marks for me. I think I shall take on a few six- nound bouts th's fall. There is lots of easy money in it, and I might as well get it als not.” Weitzel is not alone in the opinion that Choynski Jeffries says he of his weight in the world. “Jeffries nes never beer kncecked down,” was the saying in sporting circles the | world over, until he came in contact with Johnson. Jeffries may not ad- | mit he was forced to take the count, | {but he will admit the toughest, scrap | he ever had was with Choynski and the hardest blow he ever received was) in the eight round go with Joe, when he was all but whipped. Editor on an Outing. C. M. Atkinson of the Mesaba Ore, Hibbing, was an arrival at Grand Rapids Morday in time for dinner at the Pokegama before go- ing to Bass lake, out from Cohasset. He was accompanied by H. A. Atkin- The two will camp on the shore and fish in Atkin- son is not onlly one of the ablest editor men in northern Minnesota, but he’s a sportsman “of the man- ner born.” The only thing he’d ra- ther do than fish and hunt might be the writing of truths for the Ore. Ue can grab a popular falsehood by tthe nape of the neck and jerk the | life out of it with the same ease and celerity that characterizes his fishing stories. And, strange and unreasonable as it may seem, he does not exaggerate when relating his sporting experiences. He understands the game, knows the laws andj relig- | iously obeys their injunctions. Since his son, Mark, has assumed one-half | the responsibility of making the Ore, the old man has donated to him the other one-half, and this gives the old journalistic war horse more time to enjoy life, relieved largely of the cares and curses of the print- ery. Having resigned the postmas- tership of his town some time ago, Atkinson js now trying to make good use of the first opportunity for recre- ation offered in many years. During the summer he.spent several weeks on a trip through the east and south looking at the United States.

Secretary Sisler and other officers |’ of the Itasca County Agricultural as- sociation have veen busy the past few days gathering material from farm and garden for display at the state fair, which will open at Hamlin on Monday of next week. Crops of all kinds im Itasca county will av- erage better than usual this year— and they are always good. Secre- tary Sisler says the showing that will be made by Itasca county at the big state fair will excel any of the formers effort in that direction. He has attended every state fair for a namber of years and has aided in the preparation of the display. ‘With this experience he will be able to direct the arrangement of the coun- ty’s soil products) to the best possible advantage. The special car will be pulled out for Hamlin over the Great Northern tomorrow morning, accom- panied by W. F. Fulton, Mr. Sisler will join him on Friday. The farm- ers of this vicinity have been un- usually generous in supplying the committee with the best their lands produce. Without their cooperation the exhibit would fall far short of what it will be. \COHASSET WANTS HIGH SCHOOL WORK 1 elegation Appea’ ed Before School Board M_ day * ening Asking for F'rst Year Course. At a special meeting of the school beard of district No. 1 held Monday evening, John Main, of Cohasset, in behalf of the citizens of that town, appeared before the board petitioning that the first year of high school | work be added to the curriculum of the Cohasset school. The board |made arrangements at this meeting to transport the high school pupils to the Grand Rapids high school, but informed Mr. Main that the . matter would be taken up and gone over shortly after school starts when they will be in a better position to handle it properly. Clusia & Williams, of Cohasset, were awarded the contract to haul the pupils from that town to Grand Rapids at $75 per month. Only two bids were received for the work of tearing down the iron fence around Central school and fill- ing in the boulevard with black loam. J. S. Lofberg was given the contract, his bid being $365. It was decided to take a school census of the district and ascertain ‘the number of children of school age. There are about 1,500 pupils at pres- ant in the district and to care for these there are the high school and two grade buildings at Grand Rap- ids, one grade school at Cohasset and forty-eight country school buildings. The Show Disturbers. The Gem theatre is a very pleas- ‘ant place to spend an evening, and the people of Grand Rapids appreci- ate it—when they are permitted to. Manager Comer usually keeps order, but since he has been operating the picture machine, some of the young- sters take advantage of his absence and undertake to make nuisances of themselves. Half grown boys are lbad enough but when it comes to girls—almost young ladies—disturb- ing an audience, the problem be- comes more perplexing. But Mr. Comer says he has adopted a_ plan that will bring about reformation. He proposes to publicly conduct them to the entrance, inform them that a respectable public entertainment is no place for them, and that here- after they will be refused admission. Thereupon he will close the door behind them. This will be the only correct remedy to apply. There will be no distinction made between boys and girls, big or little, old or young. No More Trout, Please. Game Warden Harry informs the Herald-Review that it will be well for fishermen to bear in mind that the trout season closes on, September lst. There has been some mice catch}; es made in Ward brook this summer, and trout epicureans have taken on the habit of going out there to land a few of the finny delicacies Begin- ning with tomorrow they are admon- ished to take something for the hab- it. Every violation will win a prose- cution. Harry does not propose to allow trespass on his fish preserves. ANOTHER FARMER BUYS 320 ACRES M. L. Doble Buys Fine Tract From C. H. Weld and LeRoy Wheaton. ‘Another fine farm will soon be opened up eight miles south¢pst of Grand Rapids, near the Jud Romang place. M. L. Doble closed a deal this week with C. H. Weld and Leroy Wheaton whereby he becomes the owner of 320 acres of fime farming land in sections 34 and 35, township 54, range 25. This is said to be one of the richest tracts of agricul- tural lands im this vicniity, Mr. Doble is to be congratulated on se- curing it. The owners have had a number of opportunities to sell the tract, but have held it for an actual settler. Mr. Doble will put a crew of men to work clearing the land and putting up buildings at once and will be ready to begin farming next spring, when he will move his fam- ily om the place.

Never mind, the Art Tailors will mend it, clean it and re-fit it. | OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS OF THE Village Council Grand Rapids Grand Rapids, Minn., Aug. 24, 1911 A special meeting of the village council was held in the council rooms in the village hall, this 24th day of August 1911. at 8 o’cloock p. m.
