(The tickets will be discounted if at least 25 people attend; if this happens, each person will receive a partial discount on the ticket.) Members are invited to submit a proposal to make a research presentation at the chapter meeting. Proposals must be made in writing (e-mail is fine) to Research Committee Chair Dan Levitt, 2205 Newton Avenue South, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55405-2431, danrl@attglobal.net, and should include a title and brief outline of what the presentation will consist of with emphasis on the research that will be included. Standard presentations are 20 minutes (with an additional eight minutes for questions) although the duration may be longer or shorter depending on the needs of the presenter and of the schedule. Generally, up to five presentations may be accommodated, and these will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. The Research Committee (which also consists of Cary Smith, Tom Swift, Deano Thilgen, Anne Aronson, and Stew Thornley) will finalize the schedule of research presentations by April 21, two weeks before the meeting, so proposals must be submitted by then.

Phil Lowry Seeks Information The game was played at Rock Island Park in Owatonna. A practice game began at 12:30 p.m. and lasted an unspecified time and number of innings. Then Mankato and the Owatonna Gray Sox played to a 21-inning 1-1 tie, starting at 2:00, and ending when it was called due to curfew at 5:57. Armand researched the game in the Owatonna Peoples Press, Owatonna Journal-Chronicle, and Mankato Daily Press. Phil would still like to find out the following information:
Phil has also learned of a high-school quadrupleheader involving Lakeville (Minnesota) High School, which played four games in a tournament in nearby Northfield on May 20, 1949. Lakeville defeated Hanley Falls, 1-0, in five innings in its first game, then played two 5-inning games against unidentified opponents, then beat Kenyon, 4-3, in seven innings in the championship game. Phil would like to know the name of the field where the games were played, the times of the four games, the opponents and final scores of the second and third games, and the team nicknames of that era. Anyone with information may contact Phil at 612-281-2713 or at plowry1176@aol.com.
