The event is the annual New York Knights of Columbus in door circus and as far as the citizens of Bagdad on the Hud son are concerned it is a two- man affair. It marks the second clash of MacMitchell and the boy who beat him on the first try and the town is plenty hot. People who haven't seen a track meet in years were scrambling and clamoring for Sprague River Forms Letterman s Club SPRAGUE RIVER The ath letic letter winners of the Sprague River high school have formed a letterman's club under the direction of Coach George Hobbs.
