Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1898-06-09

The High School Meet,

y The athletic contest between the
i geville and Darlington, in this city
\ last Saturday, was interesting and
Z creditahle to the young men taking
: part. From the start it was conced-
4 ed the Mineral Point team was
D heavily outclassed and could get
j nothing better than third place.
i This is no doubt partly owing to the
i fact that the people of this city take
! less interest in such sports, and give
their boys less encouragement and
support than other communities.
] This characteristic OF our people
was made conspicuous by their alb
!, sence from the meet. Dodgeville's
good team was suppTted by more
of the people of that town, it is said,
than was the home team by people
of this city in attendance. Darling
ton also sent fair delegation to
root for her young athletes. The
attendance was fair and if the home
city proportionally did as well as
her competitors, it would have been |
double what it was.
! Dodgeville scored most points and |
took first honors. Darlington was n |
good second and Mineral Point third. |

Hon. r. l.. JOINER had business as
County Surveyor in the vicinity Of /
Mineral Point last week. He talked
no politics except when led to do so, d
but expressed perfect confidence ,
that the republican county conven-
tion will elect delegation to the f
congressional convention favorable
to him. The prospect that Mr.. Bah n
cock cannot be renominated, despite
the efforts of all the postmasters and |,
other Office holders, grows stronger
daily. A new man is almost sure to !
be taken, and Mr.. Joiner's emnentI
fitness and special availability will \
surely have recognition when the 100 :
delegates in the convention come to
decide the matter. 1t is even a
thought by some that Mr.. Babcock's I
name will not come before the CON =
veution, as If il is known in advance
that he cannot be nominated, he will
Withdraw from the contest. In thatl
event there will be large number
of uncommitted delegates, and Mr.. i
Joiuers availability must appeal !
strongly to them.
