WINTER SPORTS IN
SWISS MOUNTAINS

The outstanding feature of the sport
season at Davos this winter is certainly
the great keenness displayed on the Curl
ing rink, and the strong way in which
the game has gone from the very start.

Orthwein cup. the Davos curriers' are much
elated, for they succeeded in defeating
their old rivals Davos scoring aItt gether
43 heads against the q Of st. Mortz. The

great players. Like the famous Balti-

by Arson. Then there is Jimmy Gala

the Wilkesbarre club: Jimmy Ryan, who
has bossed several minor league teams
and Billy Dahlen, who was recently Of
fered the Brooklyn management Billy
Sunday the famous evangelist, was also
brought out by Arson. and he was a.
great player In his day.
That old bunch used to make life miser-
able for Uncle Adrian" Arson never
was a good fielder of low-thrown balls,
and his infielders were wise to all of his
failings as first baseman. Dahlen was
an accurate thrower. and In morning
practice he used TO shoot them over SO
they would bound at Anson's feet One
morning Arson dismissed practice but
kept Dahlen out on the diamond throwing
over tn first base. He didn't know that
Bill was kidding him. and Of course Bill
never cracked smile. That's his way
when he is having fun. His humor is of
the dry variety.

much more than fifty years old and is
still hale and hearty.
For years Arson held stock In the Chi

could obtain any dividends. He sold this
stock for q nominal sum when Charles P

The club has been earning handsome divi-

new RICHMOND N TIE FIELD
Hutchinson, Fair Mcleod County
City, Makes Bid For DIR. Martin
Luther College.
Offers Ten Acre Site and Former
Danish School.

The board of managers Of DIR. Martin
Luther College met in this Friday
with the following members in at.
tendance: President Andrew Schroe.
del of St. Paul, Secretary Naumann
of Wood Lake, Treasurer Knuth OF
Milwaukee, Rev. G. j. Albrecht, F.
81. Retzlaff and John Boock of New
Ulm, August Gundlach of Denver,
Henry Hellmann OF Nicollet and j.
Schwartz of Milwaukee.
They met at the college at nine
O'Clock in the forenoon, and, after
transacting some routine business,
listened to the annual report of Prof.
A. Ackermann, the college director.
This report showed that during the
year the college had an enrolment OF
lis students, the largest in the history
of the institution; it also showed that
the school is badly cramped for room,
that larger quarters are needed in
almost every departement and that
the institution is sorely deficient in
almost every modern convenience.
This was made so apparent to the
managers that they Immediately voted
to recommend to the synod, which
meets in June, either enlargement of
the present building or removal to
some town that could afford better
and more commodious facilities.
At the afternoon session a surprise
was sprung when delegation ap-
peared from Hutchinson, representing
the Business Mems club of that city
and composed of Rev. Thurow OF
Litchfeld and Rev. Fritzke, Ernest
Harms, Henry Braun and j. Linden
burg of Hutchinson. This delegation
made a strong bid for the college and
set forth that they were able to offer
the former Danish college, a three
story building costing originally
S36, 900, located on q commanding
bluff, capable of accommodating five
hundred students, supplied with ample
water, light and sewer facilities, and
situated in the heart of strong
Lutheran district. A definite propo-
sition, including additional induce.
ments, would be made, it was said. to
the synod at the meeting in June.
The proposition met with favor, and
it is evident from the temper of the
meeting that New Ulm must meet al
the demands of the synod if it would
retain the institution.
A good watchword from now OF
would be 'sGet Busy"
