ME- NOMINEE, The game was played here on May 5, at three o’clock. A fairer game was never played here before, our pitching and left field- ing being extra fine.' The batting of both teams was good, the score being 18 to 16 in favor of Hudson, and the score would probably have been more for us if the last inning had been finished. S. D. HUDSON VS. MENOMINEE.

May. TRUK BTAJK production, travel in the same direction without some guide. You must remedy this and many other mistakes, and befoye you get through you will be very humble indeed, in reference to your own literary abilities. Now punctuate and get it out of the way before you are inclined to burn it up. For such is life. Emma Christopherson. £ e Locals. The self government is run- ning along smoothly the highest number of demerits published on the board at present for the last month being one hundred forty- four, (144). We are all glad to hear that Miss Laura Rusch who has been seriously ill for the past few weeks is slowly improving. The proceeds of the school en- tertainment were satisfactorily divided by the members of the the school; thirty dollars ($30) being given to the Athletic As- sociation, and the remaining eleven dollars and forty-live cents ($11.45), for the purchase of a piece of statuary for the school. notice. Scott DeLong has a new pair of shoes. The school for a short time past has been almost untenant- able on account of the fumes of sulphur coming from theregister. John Burnley has a new hair cut. We are all pleased to see that Mr. Webster is deep in the mys- terie of shaving, as his face tes- tifies. This paper has been fumigated. A kissing bug has bitten Miss Semple Hurrah for Miss Scott. € € that Oratorical Zontest. We understand that River Falls High school think that they should have received first place in the contest; also that the piece that Miss Scott spoke, was a “baby piece.” This was the first intimation we had that it was a “baby piece.” it only reflects more inability upon the other contestants, inasmuch as one of our girls could learna little “baby piece” and recite it with more credit than those who had selec- tions from the best of orators. Following is the program of llie interscholastic declamatory con- test held at Madison, Friday, evening June 25. Whitewater District.

10 TRUE BLUE May. School base ball team went to Menomonie to endeavor to main- tain their reputation; but alas, for all the expectations of Hud- son, the Menomonie boys proved much stronger than they were the week previous. The score 21 to 6, shows too plainly Hud- son’s humiliation was the result of a strong combination. A num- ber of glaring errors by Hudson, strange grounds, an umpire, and strong, vigorous rooting for the other side, were suffi- cient reasons for the overwhelm- ing defeat. The Hudson boys, like true sportsmen, take the de- feat manfully, and do not like to give excuses. They do not as- sert that they could have won the game but are inclined to believe that the score would have been less oppressive had not that um- pire ruled that the Hudson pitch- er’s delivery was illegal; the rul- ing was deleterious for Hudson, it hindered and cramped the pitcher in delivering the ball to the batsmen, and severely jarred the confidence of the rest of the team. The riddle that the Hudson boys are now trying to solve is how that effective de- livery is illegal. The umpire, who had been umpiring for six- teen years, and who, consequent- ly did not find it necessary to study the late rules, declared it so, and the Hudson boys like true sportsmen had to abide by the decision, and so went into the game severely handicapped. The boys were sorry but it was all too true, and then came home happy though defeated but not discouraged. J. P. Ingles. Zh« Interscholastic Declamatory Contest.. The first event of the inter scholastic season this year will be the declamatory contest held in Library Hall next Friday even- ing, May 25. This promises to be an entertainment of a very high order- Each speaker rep- resents one of the seven or eight districts into which the state is divided and is the winner of a succession of preliminary con- tests. The system by which the contestants in the interscholastic declamatory contest are chosen is such as to insure a very high standard of oratory. First, the state is divided into districts as before mentioned. Then the schools in each district are formed into leagues com- posed of from three to six schools. Preliminary contests are held in each school to determine their representative in the league contest and the winner of the league contest is the league’s rep.
