state law governing athletic sports on
Decoration day. The warning has been
given to the Iowa team managers OF
the circuit that 4 any games are
played before o'clock OF Decoration
day afternoon prosecution will be re-
sorted to- If this is insisted on 1t will
seriously effect the leagues receipts for
the day, which are divided equally
among the clubs OF the league, because
it will not be possible to play the usual
double header. The teams playing in
Illinois on that day will not be effected
as that state has no such law.

sent Iowa State College. Ames, mas

Drake is not claimant for the

has been denied emphatically at the
Des Moines university. Drake makes
the sixth member to join the Missouri

All DEBORAH and that part of the
state is taking lively interest in the
approaching wrestling match between
Ole Marsh, a native of Decorah, ana
Joseph Davis, the Canadian who won
from McMllen few weeks ago. Marsh
has not wrestled in DEBORAH for years
and during that time he has improved
wonderfully Davis who is big and
husky, is liable to keep him very busy.
The match is to be the best two out
of three falls, catch -catch-can for
a purse of $3.50, divided 70 and 25 per
cent.
John Evenson of Duluth broke the
American ski jumping record at the
national tournament at Duluth yes
terday, covering 116 feet. Ole Mang-
seth Of Red Wing, Mimi, was the pre-
yious holder, his record being ia feet.
Another remarkable feat was jump
of 81 feet by Carl Toleen of Ishpem-
ing, Mich. He is only II years old and
his performance drove the 10000 spec
u. y
than the grace of a professional, but
lacked the weight to carry him to the
amateur record.
Arnaud Massey, the French golf
champion, who also won the British
championship last year; James Braid
and Harry Vardon, former holders of
the British title, and ]. H. Taylor, who
were runners up with Massey, have de-
clined the invitation to participate in
the United States open golf cham
pionship.
Since Judge Brown, of the Hennepin
county, Minnesota, district court, de-
cided that the University of Minnesota
may be sued, it is expected that any
number of suits will be brought against
it by persons who were injured in the
Chicago Minnesota foot ball game last
November by the collapsing of a part
of the grand stand.
The outlook for the Iowa College,
Grinnell. base ball team this spring is
team, Klein. Bander, and the Barber
brothers will be in school.
