MANY CANDIDATES OUT
GOOD LOT OF MATERIAL IN
SIGHT FOR THE UNIVERSITY
BASEBALL TEAM.

The contract with Coach Ferguson
of the university baseball team is now
in the hands of Manager Deering and
will probably be signed in time for
the new coach to begin his work the
first of next week. It is not known
what course of training Ferguson will
prescribe, but until he takes charge
the squad will continue to line up
three times a week for calisthenics
and other exercises under Captain
Hugh Leach.
l. The ter-department games Of last
spring served to develop great deal
of good material, and in addition to
this a number of men with experience
have been found among the freshmen.
The candidates for pitcher are
| largely in evidence and have been at
| work in the cage for several weeks.
The old men out are Brigham and
Hameril, both varsity men, and the
pitchers of the medic team, which
finished second in the intra-university
man in the box and also at center field
and will probably be used at both po-
| sitions. Gleason, a sophomore, did
good work on the academic team.
Neuman a freshman, has a good rec
ord in his home town, Winona, and
has made good showing in the cage.
Monte Brown, also of '07, has repu-
tdl1Oll .lOi UelIS COOl civ 81
Shepard, a south paw twirler from
Peoria, Ill, may make good. Bond, ,O6,
pitched good ball for the engineers last
year. Two years ago he p1tched Tor
| the Mechanic Arts school of st. Pau
against the varsity and held Minnesota
to two runs till the seventh, when his
support went to pieces.
The gophers are weak behind the
bat Captain Leach is the only Dis
mitter in sight and while he IS as
good a man as could be found, the
team would be in a nasty NIX IL ne
should be disabled.
Brigham is first sack man as wei
as pitcher and may be used at tina
corner of the diamond part of the
time. Lusk, who played first on Cen
trail High, is also out for the bag.
Spooner and Tyler are the only OLE
men out for second, but there are
humber of new men who nave no
vet had a chance to show their ablllty
. Varco is after shortstop again AM
4 will also be used as a utility man TO
he has demonstrated his ability t
make good at any position.
I. Linde, a star on the Luther colleg
$ team last year, will try third and J
Thompson of the academic team ais
is after the place.
e Rogers, Burgf and Morstein, Wh
= played on the law, medic and academi
teams last year are after field posi-
tons and Hurley and Labbttt are ais
= candidates.
n There are many other men try1n
l. for the team, but as yet there Is n
e way of telling what they can do.
i Ferguson will have charge of tn
l. SQUAD for six weeks and before n
e leaves will pick the team.

Arnold's House Demolished.

The house of Benedict Arnold built
in It'll in New Haven, Conn.,, is being
torn down, as it's present owner finds
it in the way. It has been used as q.
storehouse for lumber, though most Of
the relics, including the handsome
parlor mantel-piece, are in the possess
sion of the New Haven Historical So
ciety. Arnold lived here many years
with his family and a few feet away
from it stood his. apothecary store that
long since was demolished. In 1854
the state seized the property because
Arnold had turned traitor. It was
uncommon in those days to need a,
tonic because of the stress of life, but
to-day golden grain belt beer is used
by thousands who seek a beverages
which has the property of building up
nerve and strength.

lis baseball team announces that he
has signed three more players. These
are Frank McNichol, an infelder, Jo-
seph Koukalik, a pitcher, and James
O'Rourke. a second baseman.
where he played third base last year.
He Is a very fast man, built upon the
same lines as Captain Fox. He was
formerly right-hand batter, but last
year changed in order to take adVan-
tage of his speed in getting down to
handed hitter. He is a good baserun-
ner, and a good fielder, and is expected
to strengthen the infield materially.
Koukalik pitched last year in the
Northwestern league. He is right
handler, with good speed and unusual
recommended by Harley Parker, the
old Minneapolis twirler, who says that
he Is certain to make good In fast
company.
O'Rourke played last year with the
Racine team in the Northwestern
league. He is a fast youngster and
comes highly recommended.

After two protracted sessions at
New York yesterday, the National
league and the American league COM

WANT TO PLAY COLUMBIA
GOPHERS CHALLENGE EASTERN
BASKETBALL CHAMPIONS FOR
SERIES OF GAMES HERE.

Manager Deering of the Minnesota
basketball team has sent challenge
to the Columbia university team for
series of games to decide the national
intercollegiate championship. CO.
lumbia, by defeating Pennsylvania
Tuesday night, practically cinched the
eastern championship, as Minnesota
has won the western. If the chal-
lenge is accepted the games will be
played in Minneapolis. The letter
sent by Manager Deering to Manager
Harry Fisher of Columbia was worded
Minnesota has already won the cham
pionship of the western intercollegiate
conference, and we have seen that your
team, with a clean record up to date can
hardly be beaten for the eastern inter-
collegiate championship. Therefore we
would like to meet Columbia in a series
Of three games that could justly be con-
sidered as having bearing on the question
Of national basketball supremacy among
the colleges. We would like to play these
games in Minneapolis, and would guaran-
tee all the expenses Of your squad for
the trip. w. C. Deering.
A dispatch from New York says
| that while no action has been taken,
Manager Fisher and the Columbia
team are in favor of the trip.
Owing to the conflict Of dates it is
| doubtful whether the West Side Y. M.
G. A. of Chicago will play the Uni
versity Of Minnesota basketball team
at Minneapolis on March 49,. The
! Central Amateur Athletic Union bas-
! ket-ball tournament occurs on that
date. The contract with the gophers
Is binding, but it is thought later
date may be satisfactory.
The Company G, Hudson basketball
team won from the Y. M. G. A. at the
Hudson armory in a close and exciting
game, winning by one basket in 9
i great effort at the close Of the sec
ond half, the final score being 1928
The university freshmen went over
to st. Paul last night and took the
West Side Turner's into camp by thu
enormous score Of 60 to 9. The
gophers had everything their own wa.
, from the start.

SHE LEFT HER MARK
Unknown Woman Tramps Through a
Partially Completed Sidewalk at
Residence OF C. N. Frost.
MALICIOUS MISCHIEF IS CHARGED

The police have mystery and the
only clues to the solution of it are the
foot prints of woman. The foot
prints are in the new cement sidewalk
being put in by c. N. Frost at his resi-
dence on Prairie avenue. The walk
had just been completed by the work
men late last night and it had been
carefully protected with the usual
fence of canvas. This morning, when
the workmen reached their place OF
work, it was discovered that the wall:
had been ruined. Some one, evil
IDENTIFY woman, had climbed over the
fence surrounding the walk andahad
tramped through the composite sub
stance and had left tracks the entire
length of the walk. The police were
at once notified and they are making
every effort to discover the identity of
the woman. A reward of ten dollars
has been offered for her arrest and
conviction.
The contractor who was in charge
of the work of building the sidewalk,
claims that the action of the woman
must have been purely a case of mali
cious mischief and an effort is now
being made to discover the motive for
the act. The damage done to the
walk will amount to a large sum OF
money as it will be necessary for the
workmen to- do the work over. The
contractor claims that there is no
chance that the woman got on the
walk by mistake on account of the
fact that the work was securely
fenced in and he insists that had it
been mistake the woman would have
discovered it after she had taken the
first step in the soft concrete.
Every effort is being made to dis
cover the identity of the woman and
if found she will be punished to the
fullest extent of the law.

|CASTA[|A A WINNER,
Debaters Of the Castalian Society Win
a Noteworthy Victory Over the
Debaters OF Della.
FAVOR GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
High School Students Make Strong Pleas
for Government Ownership of Rail-
ways-Enthusiasm Prevails.

| 1t was Casta1ian night at the High
school Wednesday night, for the de-
baters Of the Casta1ian Society earned
victory over the debaterss of the
Delian Society, after one ofsthe f.
nest contests in the forensic arena
ever seen in this section of the State.
The annual joint debate is one of
the events in student life in Kenosha,
and the debate Tuesday night passed
all records of other years.
The auditorium Of ssthe High School
was crowded with shouting, cheer
ing mass of merry students, while the
co1ors of the two societies we're every
where in evidence. The walls on one
side of the room were hungswith the
orange and black of the winning So
ciety, while the co1ors of the De1ian
Society, crimson and.Csi1ver, com
pletely hid the oppositeawa1ls. From
the time the students entered the hall
there was a perfect din of enthusiasm
reminding the old college boys in the
audience of the days gone by, and
friends of the two Societies.
Principal Hammi11 presided, and
after musical selection he announced
the question for the debate as follows:
Would government ownership and
operation of the railroads in the
United States be preferable to owner
ship and operation by private corpo-
rations? It being conceded
First:-That the change can be made consti-
tutiona1ly and legally and at a cost not to ex-
coed six billion dollars which is assumed to be
just and reasonable compensation.
Second:-That all government railroad of
hcia1s shall be appointed and promoted in ac-
cordance with civil service rules similar to
those now in effect or which may be provided
for the selection of other employees in public
service.
The affirmative side of the question
was splendid1y presented by Leo
Hammond, Perdita Dewey and Ethel
Farrell, while the arguments against
the ownership of railways we're ad-
vanced by team from Della, COM
posed of Ralph Gamble, Grover Nc
Namara and Joseph Lippert. All of
the debaters did we'll, but especial
credit is due to the two young women
who took part in the debate, as they
showed that the young women in the
High school are able to debate as well
as take class honors for studentship.
The judges for the debate were
Judge S1osson, Superintendent G. w.
Taylor, r. v. Baker, E. L. Grant and
Chester d. Barnes.
The decision was for the afirn1a-
tive, and when the announcement
was made the members of Casta1ia
went wild with excitement. For an
hour they celebrated their victory
marching through the halls of the
High school building, and a final
touch was added to the celebration by
the ringing of the High school bell.
The debaee was the best in the his
tory of the two societies, and it re-
fleets great credit upon the young
men and women and their instructors,
Miss Bronson and Mr.. Hooking.

Thomas Hansen Secures a Splendid
Ambulance for the Use OF the
Ken0sha Hospital.
A BOON FOR SICK AND WOUNDED
Finest Vehicle of the Kind Ever Shipped to
Wisconsin is Sent to Kenosha for the
Use of the People OF City

| Thomas Hansen has furnished the
city of Kenosha with an ambulance
The new vehicle arrived this morn
ing and it is said to be the finest am
bu1ance ever shipped into the state of
Wisconsin.
The ambulance was purchased
primarily for the use of the Kenosha
Hospital and, while it will not be
given to the hospital, Mr.. Hansen
will arrange to have it at the service
of the institution at mere nominal
expense.
Since the opening of the Kenosha
Hospital the demand for an ambu-
lance in the city has been an urgent
one. There has been no vehicle in
the city suited for the moving of sick
or wounded people and oftentimes
they have been hauled to the hospital
in an express wagon, or in extreme
cases, friends have been forced to
utilize an undertaken wagon in TAX
ing the patients to the wards for
treatment. Mr.. Hansen recognized
started to secure an ambulance for
the city, he informed the committee
that he had arranged for the pur-
chase of an ambulance and that it
would be at the service of the sick
and wounded in the city.
The ambulance is made by the best
known firm in the country. It is of
regulation size and is fitted out with
the most modern appliances to secure
the safety and comfort of people be-
ing transported to and from the hos
pita1. The interior of the vehicle is
fitted up with a couch which is ar
ranged with air cushions so that
every possible jar isremoved from the
couch. When it made it's appearance
on the street this afternoon it created
quite a little comment. It will be
kept at the Hansen barns on South
street and will be subject Ito cali at
any hour of the day or night.

SEEKS MISSING BOYS.
Harry Adams, of Sheboygan. Thought to
Be In Hiding In Kenosha.

A man by the name Of Adams, re-
siding in Sheboygan, came to Keno
sha Wednesday for the purpose Of
searching for his son, Harry Adams,
who has been missing from his home
since last Monday. The boy, in com
pany with one of his companions, left
Sheboygan and started out to see The
world.
The father was able to trace them
as far as South Milwaukee and from
that point it is alleged that they
came to Kenosha. The father spent
the afternoon looking through the
Kenosha factories but no trace was
found of either of the boys.
