STATE FAIR BOARD By r.

L. Hafner, Secretary. This corner was tickled to tin; teeth this week when we received a letter from Pvt. Joe DcAnncnt, formerly of Sisscton. now in Uncle Sam's ground at C.imp Hood, Texas.

It all came about when tin; airport conference was held Huron, and this is the way happened: Jake Koil and "yours deliriously" were quenching our thirst at a loe.il emporium we ran across three old friends from Sisseton, here the confei-ence. We carried a i item in this column all three of them and one of fiuys a pened to bo the editor of the Sisseton Courier. He ro-rnn the gram in his paper and a friend of Joe noting it and mailed Joe a c-lippii-fj. So Joo caught up to us. At.

last. We were once old pals and probably either one could send thc other to the clink for life if he cared to. When Beau Jack received his notice to appear lor army physical, he telephoned his friends that he had gotten his "abduction" papers, but said "it's okay with me. I'm glad I'm being abducled." We could tell stories about Joe DeArment all night and never run out of ammunition. And never lose interest ourselves.

For instance, there was the, football he took part in at Sisseton back I0 0 when he got ahold of the ball arid galloped almost 90 yards towards the wrong goal because his helmet had slipped down in of his eyes. One of his tackled I him to a a score for the nents. There's a righthanded Softball chucker playing in She Huron kid softball setup who has one advantage most boys don't possess. The other night a hard ground ball was driven to his right, towards shortstop. He fielded the ball, whirled and threw to first loflhanded.

to get the runner! And then there's, the time DeArment won thc Northwest Gokirn Gloves boxing championship Minneapolis in the featherweight division. He won all his bout? in this state by knockouts and 'ihrn went to North Dakota where he fought out of Fargo. His toughest match in the Northwest gathering was the one he had with Rud W( i me; of Moorhcad, his buddy on trip. He won his championship fiRht by a knyo in quicker time than any of the others. For Severn 1 years we were the proud owner of the cup he won at that meet.

Duane Swift, one of two graduates of the Huron who are being carried on the Huron Armour baseball learn Ihis summer, slays up ihere at Ihe plate liko a veteran and is just about hard lo pitch lo as an old hand. Do you know where Marvin is? It's famous as the home' of Martin Lee, who was one of bank robbers who held up nnd killed Cashier Ray Stapleton at Corona several years ago. It's also famous northeastern South Dr-kota as the place where Joe DeArrrent and a navy lad by the name of Wilkin-on staged a 45 minute street inside a circle of cav lights before DeArment finally won out But stories like this could go on all night. DeArment foughfnt Milbank, Watertown. Webster, S-immit Ortley, Aberdeen, Sisscton, Britten, and once met Bob Stanapc, claimant to the championship of the 'northwest.

Here's a little tip: When and if the Armour baseball Jeam gets knocked off du.inj their summer schedule, we look for it 'o at a time when it's least expected and a small crowd is on hand to witness Ihe fray. Other South Dakota boys fighting the same era as DeArment were- Bad Boy" Knight, Staff Ballard Sorrell Top" Seaman, "Blackie" Bursheim, the throe Q'Dny brother-Awk Derrick, Mel "Kid" Lewis (murdered while County sheriff two years ago), Kid troe, Rollie French, Jess "Cowboy" Gates (now on the Pierre police force), How ard and Lou Clyde Hull (who rose to fourth ranking welterweight in the world) Tommy Pruett (said to be the only sparring partner in Jack DcmpseVv camp the champ never knocked ou'ti, B.ar.ke-.ibachor, Marion Havncp Billy Weir (lat-r a Huron barber) Kid Anderson, Kid Cotton, Larry "Tiger" Udell, Dick Demmaray. and of course, no mention of South Dn- kota fighters would be complcu- without the name of AI Braun If there ever was a "golden boxing in this state, that was it. The Armour baseball nine will hold their regular oraclica session tonight at Ravine Lake Park, storting at 6:30. The club has a tough opponent in front of them so everyone is urged to be out.
