M These preliminary movements
should be we'll taught before the
fencer does anything else. They are
the fundamental principles of fencing.
They give, good balance, good judg-
ment and what is more, self-confi-
dence. Many teachers do not insist
enough on that, and often it amuses
an expert to see fencers trying very
difficult thrusts or parties and ignor-
ing the first principles.
A fencer can be judged only by the
way he remains in guard" The ex-
perienced spectators can, by his
guard" find out his knowledge of
fencing.
The two recognized schools Of fenc-
ing French and Italian, differ a little
yet in the past ten years the Italian
school is adopting a good many ways
of the French school. Both schools
have their supporters, and foreign
countries have adopted one or the
other. Some countries patronize both.
Belgium follows the French SCHOOL,
England the French, South America
both, with preference for the
French Germany both, Russia the
French, and America the French, al
tho there are few italian fencing
masters.

hollering for help, at the same time
running with him as fast as could,
yelling that Will had been shot, and
was bleeding to death. Ole acted as
II he had bit again, and came running,
a flask in his hand, large part of the
contents of which he poured down
Willis throat, not having much trouble
in inducing him to swallow it. Then
helped him to get Will on his back,
Will all the time begging us to take
his last message to his wife, and Ole
ran like a deer down to the boat, UP
on the prov, and shot Will over his
head into three feet of ice water in
less time than it takes to mention 1t.
"And we didn't put up any more
jobs on Ole. But there was too much
Viking in him to quit before he was
even all over. We started right the
next day to corral the old bull; got
Jud, both his big boys, and old Billi-
bedam.. the Chippewa who tepees out
there, to help us, and two days hard
work put us wise to just where he
fed, and how to get at him. And at
daylight next morning we started.
But going UP the bank from the
houseboat Ole slipped, fell, and
sprained his ankle, or said he did, SO
blue streak at his hard luck.
well, we had three miles to walk
around the lake till we reached a little
| hill from which we could see the
houseboat, and as we caught sight of
it, it flashed into flame like Mt. Pelee
on a tear. OF course, we thought. the
! blamed Norwegian had gone to sleep
and let the boat catch af1re. and the
whole posse of us ran back the whole
three miles, expecting he d be roasted
alive before we got there.
"And when we reached the boat
what do you think we found? oh,
nothing but an old vinegar barrel he
had dug out of Jud's warehouse,
| every other burnabIe thing he could
! find, saturated with kerosene, and set
afire on the stern of the boat where
it would light UP the whole interior,
especially as he had propped the rear
door open. And there were his tracks,
ten feet apart, piking right down the
lake bank. Old Billibedam grunted:
white man heap dam FOOL but we
knew better. We tumbled right there
and went back faster than we had re-
turned when his fake blaze first broke
out. But we couldn't travel fast
| enough.
when we got to the feeding ground
we had worked SO hard to locate, there
| was Ole with a grin a yard wide on
| his phiz and there was the big bull as
dead as julius Caesar. He'd put up
| the whole thing beautifully. He had
a canoe hid down the lake. He was
watching us thru Rasss field glass.
He had started his fire at just the
| right moment to head us back. And
knowing we could not see him once
we got fairly started back, he had
busted down the shore, crossed in the
canoe. walked right up on our moose
and killed him too easy. Yes, siri
| Ole's@ getting educated. And alto
gether too fast for our comfort to

STARS FAIL
TO TWINKLE
MANY OF LAST YEARS LEADING
BOWLERS IN POOR FORM.
Hanson Still Leads Minneapolis
League in Individual Average, but
Is Closely Pushed by Nichols
League Is Better Balanced Than 1t
Was Last Season.

With the bowling season one-third
gone, the local experts are still slow
in getting into form. Of the SIX leagues
in the Minneapolis league. only one,
the TuXedos, has pin average of 900.
The individual bowlers, too, have
failed to improve on last years form,
and many OF the stars are below their
averages for the season Of 1902-1903.
Buehler. Olness and Hughes are cases.
Fust is nearly ten pins below last sea-
sons average, and such men as F'arr,
Parke and Kayser have fallen off.
Sandblom, however, has shown the
worst reversal of form. Sandblom led
the league last season, but this year he
is in sixteenth place with an average
of only 176 1924.
The Minneapolis league race, how
ever, is a better one than last years.
With the exception of the Olympias,
who are even weaker than last year,
the teams are not so far apart in
strength as they were before the num-
Der Of clubs was reduced to six. The
Apex team, which looked decidedly
weak on paper before the season
opened has shown considerable
! strength in actual rolling. Both the
Buffaloes and the Apex are dangerous
to any of the first division teams.
The Turner's have a long lead just
now, but Judging from the scores they
have been winning a good many games
on their prestige. They bowled in
miserable form against the Buffaloes
! Thursday night. The Tuxedos look
| strongest on paper, and should make
! the leaders hustle if Sandblom gets
into form. The Tasnos and the Buff
faloes are still in the running. Con-
trary to expectations, the Tasmos seem
little if any weaker than year ago.
The team pin averages of the Mime
apolis league, and the individual aver
ages of all men who have rolled eight
or more games, follows:

IT begins to lolSo as tho Lou Dillon,

the Wonderful records of this speedy
mare, with those of the PAGERS, Dan
Patch 1:56A; Prince Alert, 1857, and
Major Delmar, 1:59A, the trotter
would not be classified by the authori-
ties OF the trotting turf with the rec
ords made by horses which were not
preceded by wind or dust shields.
lt is almost certain that, the records
Will be grouped separately in the an

II Cresceus record trial of 1:59M is

again be top. His trial was made
without wind shield, but there is
some question as to it's legality.
AT the concluding session of the
board of review Of the National Trot-
lefs association, recently, the board
took the following action in regard to
the Windshield records:
The National Trottings association
reserves the question as to the proper
classification of time performances
made under unusual conditions over
its tracks and declines to pass such
performances up tos the American
Trotting Register association without
exception, but recommends that the
reserve question be taken UP by the
board provided for in rule 43, section
II, and disposed off,
The board provided for under sec
ton Z of rule 43 is composed Of P. P.
Johnston, president of the National
Trotting association: William Russell
Allen, president of the American Trot-
ting Register association and w. p
Ijams. president of the Am erican
Trotting association
The meaning of this resolution is
that some new kind of classification
will be arranged.
