Last Play in Glass. A, Circles Comes

What will probably be the last, game
for the Class A amateur billiard trophy
will be called at the West on Wednes-
day evening. Then Ed Huyek will de-
fen'd his title of champion against W.
A. Stevens. The time for challenges is
nearly up and if Huyck wins this match
the chances are that he will be allowed
to finish out his year and hold the cup
without being called on again to de-
fend the title. ~
This years Class A tournament is
yet to be played and no date has been

at the Vendome some time this week
to make arrangements preliminary to
the contest. :. Z" So: - ~
The tournament which is to decide
the championship of the courthouse

Started on Lake Superior.
Carlson did his first skating on Lake
Superior, twelve years ago, when he
was lad Of sixteen. He found great
er interest in the sport than the aver
age boy and when Axel Paulson and
Harold Hagin, the famous skaters, were
on this side during their palmy days he
solicited their aid. Paulson gave the
boy fine pair Of speeders and the ben
eft Of his excellent tutelage and the
future Of Carlson as a record breaker
worked like a Trojan and had obtained
some recognition before Hagin came
along. Hagin took him in hand and
completed the course Paulson had
started. Carlson then went forth to
give battle to the best and won an en-
viable record in the east.
Some Of Carlsen's records, estab-
lished when he was in the pink Of con-
dition in the east are still standing and
defy the scores who have tried to skate
over them, Carlson is also listed among
the record holders in other national
sports, but he prizes his skating tri-
umphs highest.
Still Holds Medals.
He still has several valuable and
beautiful medals that his races on ice
wings won for him, and would have
more than forty more in his collection
Carlson had just reached New York to
enter the Poughkeepsie races and regis
tered at the Windsor. the day before
the fire. On the night the hotel burned
he was skating and probably that saved
his life. But, waving sentiment, his
trunk, containing his forty Todd medals
his racing suits and highly valued
skates was among the hot ashes left by
the disastrous blaze.
notwithstanding he was compelled to
enter the Tournament on borrowed
skates, with which he was not acquaint
ed, and go against some Of the best
men in the game, Carlson established a
record that has stood in memory Of that
day and partly recompensed him for hi
loss in the fire. He left all opponents
in the lurch, putting a mark Of nine

event. He also made l hour and 211E

internal dissension for control in the
politics in the league and there will
be no trouble over the playing sea-
son. The games will go on and prob

internal affair and only over the policy

accepting me as member Of the league

that time we will take control from the
old regime and the public will be told

the association has to do with the

big Four Met Enlightened
Three" on Every Point at
Meeting. =

NJ J. Kelley, the new manager of
the Minneapolis baseball club, returned
yesterday afternoon after a strenuous
sojourn at Chicago. He tells an in
teresting story of the meeting, and one
at variance with those telegraphed out
of Chicago by the Milwaukee scribes
who were looking after the interests Of
the Havernor, Lennon and Tebeau in
terests.
"There was nothing like the SQUAD
scribed,' said Mr.. Kelley last night.
"The first time there was any rub
bling of elbows was when we started
to have meeting Of the board of di-
rectors. Now, I was the legal chair
man of that board. We had made sure
Of our ground before we started into

Teams Know Game.

The Columbias and the men against
whom they played last Sunday are reg
ular football players. The former team
is a football eleven that plays during
the fall and all know the game, on land
or on ice. The St. Paul team that will
clash with them during the minneapolis;
tournament also will be a regulation
football aggregation, and the battle
will be both novel and intensely inter
esting.
The Newport links, which have been
turned over to the Twin City Skating
club, composed Of both st. Paul and
Minneapolis skaters, fill a long-felt
want in this city. They are the prop
erty of Edward L. Friedlund and he
has. gained the everlasting gratitude Of
the icefyers by his generous donation.
The Kinks are open to all paid-up mem
bers of the club. The Kinks have an
eight-lap course, which is sufficient for
all present needs; but it probably will
be heightened during the summer, af-
fording a fve-lap course that will be
among the best in the northwest.

fore,'' said Mr.. Carlson yesterday.

In the past members or the rules COM
mittee have been responsible only to
themselves. They did not take orders
even from the colleges with which they
are associated. They were supreme and
none took the trouble to say them nay.
The New York Meeting.
Last week there was a football
meeting in New York at which some
sixty-eight of the big schools of the
country were represented by accred-
tied delegates of the colleges and uni
versities. The committee meeting had
been looked upon in advance as some
thing of frecracker affair, as it was
feared by lovers of football that it
would be dominated by the opponents
Of the game. '.--..'..
Minnesota sent DR.. H. L. Williams,
the gopher director of athletics, and
he, with eastern friends, went into the
meeting as firm friends Of football and
desiring only such changes as would
better the game. The rabid element
was Modified and the conference was
conducted upon sane lines. The final
action was the selecting Of a group OF
representatives to meet the rules COM
mittee at Philadelphia Friday night
and propose an amalgamation.
Up to the Cigars.
This was putting it up to the rules
| committee with strong force. They
| realized, when confronted by the con-
ference committee that the days Of au-
tocratic ruling were over. The confer
ence delegation went into the matter
| with tact. They were sufficiently pow
cred to upset and discredit the old COM
mittee, but they requested hearing
| and offered a suggestion Of consolida-
tion and the adding Of new blood and q
broader scope to the governing body OF
football. . 1-.,g =.
This stumped the former rulers Of the
game. They finally came out with a
statement that they would be pleased
to meet, informally, the new body, but
that it would be necessary for them to
consult with "home" before forming
new body. This was merely sparring
! to gain time. The new body was not
greedy in it's suggestions and the repre-
sensations were made in such a way
that the self constituted body could not
turn them down. Time was asked and
granted. The old rules committee finally
came out and said that their brand of
rules, if there was no consolidation,
would be binding only upon the univer-
stiles or schools represented by men on
the old group. 1t was an admission Of
circumscribed power and the wing trim
ming was complete. There appears to
be but little doubt but that there will
be new association Of rule-makers taxi
ing in the new and retaining the old.
DR.. Williams Work.
The work Of DR.. Williams thru the
conference at New York and the meet.
ing at Philadelphia has shown execu-
tive ability on the part Of the gopher
director. He has shown such a wide
knowledge of the subject in hand that
the representatives of the sixty-eight
! big institutions have chosen him as the
, leader in the new movement and the
way in which the rather delicate situa-
, ton was handled reflects no little credit
upon the diplomacy Of the Minnesota

been the leader in the west. It looks

Woonsocket Herald: AT the city

question OF selling the new bonds
was brought up and resulted IN con-
siderable rag chewing. 1t seems that
some time ago the matter of re-bond-

Gil but no n could be persuaded to
take the new bonds at S per cent.
Mr.. VIM. a. Helmberger, of Mitchell
had some correspondence with the
city officials IN regard to the matter
and finally agreed to take the bonds
provided they were issued legally,
and the city would pay him three
hundred dollars commission. After
the deal was made with Mr.. Helm

is made by the city that Mr.. Helm
berger had gone back on his agree
ment. Mr.. Heimt erger claims that
he was waiting for the city to pass
an ordinance or take a vote on the
question in order to make the issue
legal and is now threatening to sue
for his commission.

Appointed to Make the
Rounds Among Business Men

The campaign for raising the So, 500
for the erection of the new corn pail

cial Committee, announced the So
Letting committee late yesterday af-
ternoon, and 1T is composed of DR..
r.. f. Dundas, j. e. Wells and Her
bert e. Hitchcock. The spirit that
was p%revelant at the mass meeting
held last Monday evening indicates
that the committee will have but
little trouble to raise the necessary
amount.
The corn palace project has come
to be recognized by the business men
and citizens as n of Mitchell's solid
institutions and the contributions
made along that line is merely an
investment for the benefit of the
growth and development of the city.
The past years have more than shown
the wisdom of making the corn pail
ace a permanent feature, and with it
established in a larger and more pre-
tentious building than the present
one larger crowds than even can be
entertained.
Last year was as good a test of the
popularity OF the corn palace as could
ever be secured. 1t will be remem-
bered that the Milwaukee road vas
hauling people to Mitchell by the
thousands every day free OF charge
up to the opening day of the palace.
After that everybody had to pay
their fare aud it was thought then
that it would be the means of shut
ting the visitors eff. But on the
CONTRARY the crowds did not diminish
one whit and every excursion that
was run INTO Mitchell was crowded to
the limit, no matter how many cars
were on the trains. One day east of
Alexandria it was necessary to run a
second section of the train. the first
one being over loaded.
When the soliciting committee
comes around, gentlemen, Just take
into consideration the past success
OF the corn palace and put your
names down accordingly.
