Monarch® Are Good* .The. Kansas City Monarch® In their prime—and they are still plenty good — ,would haye . been a strong contender for pennant honors in either major league, could they have played.

It was Voelker, not Van Koten, that caught that pass from Huennekens and did that pretty weaving through the Bears only to have the ball called back by penalty. I wasn’t certain who it was and asked Jim Lienlokken of the La Crosse Tribune who said it was Van Koten. I thought Jim knew, but apparently he didn’t. That wasn’t as bad though as the person who thought that Mickey Cashman was Herman Gay (the colored boy) because Mickey wore Gay’s number as listed on the program.3 Baseball Games Slated at Rushford Festival Next Week !Rushford, Minn.—(Special to The Republican-Herald)—Rushford has ■ arranged three attractive baseball games for its corn carnival here { Sept. 20 and 21.
