BASE BALL.
EDITOR PILoT

EDITOR PILOT
Since Wausau will not be represented
in the Wis.-Ill. league this coming sea
son, steps have been taken by the
officers of the local club to become a
member of new league which is to be
organized to replace the defunct North
ern league, and to include one or two
cities that were in that organization.
At mass meeting held last Wednes-
day, it was the unanimous opinion of
the fans that Wausau should be repre-
sented in the new organization. The
new circuit will probably include the
cities of Lacrosse, Winona, Wausau,
Eau Claire, Chippewa Falls, Duluth,
Superior and either South St. Paul or
Saltwater. The combined population
of the cities to be included in this cir
cult is approximately 230,000-a trifle
more than the WI as that league is ar
ranged at present with Racine and
Appleton replacing Lacrosse and Wau-
sau. This greater population will per-
NIT of its being organized as Class
"C'' league and will give it some ad-
vantages over the WI. owing to the
fact that class C organization can
draft players from class ID league.
The mileage to complete the circuit
in this proposed organization will be
approximately 660 miles. or little
more than the old WI. circuit which
was about 625 miles The WI. as at
present constituted is about $50 miles
around, so that the cost to each club in
this new organization figuring three
trips around) will be less than 800 to
each club for the season, over the cost
of mileage in the WI. league. 1t is
peculiar fact that in baseball organiza-
tions of this class, the total attendance
throughout the circuit for one season
about equals the combined population
of the cities represented: some cities
draw an attendance exceeding their
population (of which Wausau has been
striking example in its four years of
organized balD while others do not
draw up TO this mark. Although the
mileage in the proposed circuit is some
what greater than that of the WI. the
additional population more than off,
sets that margin and there is little fear
but what the new organization can be
put on paying basis from the start.
All the proposed cities have had every
day ball with two or three exceptions,
of which Winona is one. However, it
is thought owing to its proximity to La
Crosse, that the attendance in that city
will be stimulated through intense
rivalry with Lacrosse, which fact will
also tend to increase the attenda nee in
the latter city. Wausau will probably
draw $4,000 this season, as will La
Crosse. and as Duluth without doubt

seemingly without a tremor of his
muscles and continuing downward on
the course until his momentum is
stopped when the level stretch of ground
is reached The "take-off' is from
eight to twelve feet in height, according
to the length and steepness of the slide,
and the jumper is up in the air above
the heads of the spectators for most of
the distance covered by his flying leap.
1t is an exhibition of nerve and muscle
control which thrills the observer, and
makes the sport more attractive as the
years pass by.
A valuable silver trophy cup has been
purchased by the Nor Ski club of
Chicago, which will be put mp for

will thus be assured, and some record
breaking jumps are looked for in the
next few years. -
AS an index of the popularity of ski
tournament, it might be of interest to
know that Chippewa Falls has steel
ski slide, or scaffold, costing 100000,
the only one of its kind in the world.
It is understood that this city will make
a strong bid for the sixth annual
national tournament to be held in 1910.

held this winter, as announced by the
National Ski association, is as follows

RAILROAD CONNECTIONS.

Last week THE PILOT spoke of the
value of an extra railroad for Wausau.
What do you think about it? You know
that railroads are as necessary to the
development of the county as banks,
mills and factories are. In fact mills
and factories would be few and far be-
tween" if we had no railroads. Let's
talk this matter over, of getting the
Wisconsin Central into Wausau. There
is something to it. Look at the map
and see how handy the Central system
is to Wausau. Think over the advan-
tages that would come to the city if we
could, by united action, bring that line
to our service. The Central is looking
for business. Wausau is looking for
railroad connections, The right kind
of move on the part of the business
interests of the city ought to accomplish
much in the premises that would be OF
untold value to the present and future
interests of Wausau

EARLY SETTLER DIED.
Conrad Bernhard Passes From This
Vale Saturday.

AT about the hour of $40, Saturday
morning, Conrad Bernhard died in his
room at the Northern hotel after an
illness Of about month. Though he
suffered greatly in his last illness, the
end came peacefully and he dropped into
unconsciousness toward the close He
had been unwell since Christmas. He
was taken sick one day in barber
| shop oD Jackson street. and had to be
carried home, and ten days ego had to
GO to bed, since which time his children
have taken care of him. The cause OF
death was old age.
Conrad Bernhard was born in Ger
many, Nov. 4, 1884, and emigrated to this
country in 1857. He came direct to
Wausau and this city had been his
home ever since; except that of late he
spent part of the time in Milwaukee.
About four years ago he decided to live
in Milwaukee part of each year The
lake breezes in winter did not agree
with him, and consequently much OF
the cold weather was passed in Wausau
He came here Oct 20 last, intending to
remain here until spring.
Like most others who came here in an
early day, MIR. Bernhard worked at lum-
bering and for number of years he
took jobbing contracts for cutting TIM
ber. For a time before the railroad
entered Wausau he was engaged in
hauling supplies from Berlin to this
city over the old sandy Stevens Point
road. During the years 1856 he con-
Quoted an ice business. in partnership
with F. O Means, selling out the latter
year to Mr.. Means Since that time
he has lived a retired life. He was one
of the original organizers of the Mathie
Brewing Co. and was vice president of
that concern at one time. The only
political Office he ever held was that of
coroner. That was about twenty-five

lie was married in this city to Angus
ia Zastrow, who died September ., 1898
Three children were born to them, of
which two are living, Mrs Helen Paeske
of Chicago, and William, of this city
Otto, younger brother, died in Chicago
May p, 1906.
Mr.. Bernhard was a man of many
strong and commendable traits of
character. He was a good companion,
and his visits to the city since going to
Milwaukee a few years ago, were al
ways sources of pleasure to his many
friends.
When the societies were young he be-
came a member of the l. q. O. F., Sons
of Herman and A. o. U. w. 1t was his
expressed wish that when he was buried
the services should be performed in
compliance with the l. o. o. F. rites
Accordingly his wish was carried out
and the services were held yesterday
afternoon in Odd Fellows hail. The
pall bearers were chosen from brother
members of l. o. O. f. and Sons of
Herman as follows; John Ringle, Gus
tav Mueller, Henry Sein,, Henry Grob,
John w. Miller ard John Aarow. The
first three represented the first men
toned society, the latter the Sons of
Herman.

SKI TALK.
Some Notes Which May Interest
Lovers of the Scandinavian Sport.

some NOLeS w HlCH MdJ 4HJcIoSt
Lovers of the Scandinavian Sport.
A great deal of interest centers around
the forthcoming fifth annual tourna-
ment of the National Ski Association of
America, to be held at Eau Claire, Wis,
on Feb 9th and 9TH. The attendance is
expected to eclipse all former gather
Ings of like nature held in this country;
and as the city chosen for the tourna-
ment is located in section which is
thickly settled with Norwegians, and
other lovers of the sport, there is little
doubt but that Eau Claire will be taxed
to the limit of her Accommodations. All
of the big ski centefs will be represented,
and most of the best known participants
in former tournaments will contest for
records and prizes on the big slide
erected on Mount Washington, which is
situated on the outskirts of the city of
Eau Claire, but easily reached by the
street railway lines. Among the foreign
stars who are entered on the list, are
Lars and Andrew Haugen, who but
recently arrived from Norway and who
hold enviable records.
IL is expected that the American
record Jump of 122 feet, made at Ish-
peming, Mich, last year by John Even
son, of Duluth, will be beaten by several
feet; but it yet remains for an American
ski runner to equal the jump made by
Nels Giestvang, of MEDIUM, Norway,
who cleared 135 feet on Feb. 9th, 1902
Weather conditions, of course, have a
great deal to do with the success of a
tournament, as soft and sticky snow re-
tards the speed of the descending skis
to a considerable degree. Plenty OF
snow and moderately cold weather, are
accessories that cheer the ski jumpers
heart, and record making leaps follow
in their wake.
To one who has never formerly at
tended ski tournament, the first inn
preston is that several contestants will
be laid out ere the programs has been
completed; but tits seldom that serious
injury is received by ski jumper, al
though many hard falls are taken This
is all the more wonderful when it is
noted that the skis are firmly attached
to the feet, and when the wearer falls
he must regulate his movements in such
a way that he is not struck by the swing
/ ing skis. The secret of success in ski
| jumping is in knowing how to fall
The slide down TO the jump, or take
of, is built on the side of hill, and at
Eau Claire extends from the top of
Mount Washington, which has per-
pendicular height Of 1870 feet, down for
distance of 230 feet TO the ''take-off, y
aud then on down the bin for an addi-
ticaal distance of some $40 feet, making
a total slide Of about 800 feet, with an
incline OF about 45 degrees Great

will draw up to its mark of 10000 or
more and Superior following that lead
in proportion to its population, there is
little room for any doubt as to the new
organization proving success.
Duluth, over a month ago, took up
this matter of organizing new league
with Lacrosse and Wausau and negoti-
ations are at present under way with
parties interested in that city and also
in Lacrosse. Winona is anxious to
enter and the prospects of having a
team in a league has set the lopes
of the fans in that city agog. Eau
Claire, which established its right to be
classed as "hall town. in the early
history of the old Wisconsin State, is
ready and willing to join the project at
once. AS for Lacrosse and Wausau
they will be prime factors in the pre-
liminary work of organization and it is
a foregone conclusion that these cities
will be represented in the new Wiscon-
sim Minnesota league, or whatever the
new organization will be called.
