.BAPTIE IS KING
OF ICE SKATERS
WINNIPEG DELIGHTED WITH Elk
Hl5lTIoN OF FAMOUS NORTH
DAkoTAN ON STEEL
RUNNERS.

Winnipeg Telegram: That Norval
Baptie is the king of all skaters was
shown by his wonderful performance
on the blades at the Amphitheatre rink
last night. One of the largest crowds
that has filled the rink this winter was
simply delighted with his many clever
exhibitions. Speed skating, figure,
jumping, skating on stills and many
more maneuvers all seemed easy for
this renowned exponent Of the steels
and his performance was easily the
best ever seen here for some time.
The spacious amphitheatre was
crowded, the seats and boxes also
being occupied, and a very enjoyable
evenings sport was spent by ALL
Baptie gave an exhibition of the figure
skating, including the most graceful
movements that can be performed on
ice. His skating on sti'ts was inter-
esting, he claiming that he is the only
man In the world who skates on stills
twenty-six inches high. Jumping eight
barrels forwards and six backwards
seemed very easy for the skater for
which he was roundly applauded. The
fox chase created lots of fun and it
took a couple of dozen boys to catch
the speedy boy. His speed skating
backwards against q local boy was
simply marvellous as he skated right
away from his opponent A relay
race i'm which three local boys took
part was a cinch for Baptie, who
showed wonderful burst of speed.
The ice was rather soft which hinder
ed the performer somewhat.

Cardiff, Wales Jar. %. - Are
spooks afflicted with "a thirst" such
as tempts some mortals to seek solace
in a public house? The question
arises as the result Of a series of weird
pranks on the part of a spook which
has plunged the peaceful little viii

This, at any rate, seems the most
feasible theory why the playful ghost
should have made the village inn the
scene of its tricks Certainly, no
respectable spook having any regard
for sobriety could have been guilty

The knocking, however. co tinued,

Hardly Worth While.

: In comment. Percy H. Whiting, a
southern sporting writer says:
Branch Hickey, baseball coach at the
University of Michigan. is out with a
kick because professional baseball play
ers are not allowed to perform with
college teams.
You would think, to hear some of the
coaches yelp, that a professional ball
player couldn't go to college at all,
just because he is barred from the
baseball team. These men, and lot
Of others. have never acquired a clear
enough idea of the purposes OF college
athletics to see why professional ball
players should be barred. They CAM
understand why the only object Of the
game is not to get a winning team.
And, on the whole, 1t is hardly worth
trying to make them see 1t.

SUPERIOR RESIDENT, WHOSE
FATHER 10 HURT BY TRAIN,
BROTHER KILLED IN
OMAHA, PICKED UP
IN ST. PAUL.

81. Paul. Jan. 2s.-Grief- stricken over
the death Of fayorite brother and
serious injury to his aged father, to
which was added the mental suffering
of his mother, Andrew A. Anderson. a
resident of Superior Wis, was picked
up at Third and st. Peter streets last
Monday by the police and sent to the
county jail to be examined as to his
sanity Yesterday when Anderson told
his story to the city physician he was
allowed his freedom.
Anderson lives with his parents at
113 Banks street, Superior. On Jan. 16
Louis Anderson, Sr., was struck by a
Northern Pacific train while attempt
ing to cross the tracks near his home.
His left arm and shoulder were frac-
tured and he also received internal in
1uries. On account of his age his re-
covery is doubtful.
Anderson and his mother were deep
ly grieved. Last Thursday thew re-
ceived a telegram informing them that
Louis Anderson, Jr., had been killed
in Omaha, Neb. The young man was
engaged in constructing iron supports
on the fourteenth story of the new
City National Bank building when a
huge wooden roller moved by the wind
struck him. He lost his balance and
fell TO the seventh floor.
This second shock, coming I'm less
than weeks time, affected Mrs. An
derson mentally. She was placed un-
der the care of a physician. Andrew
came to st, Paul to collect the be-
longings of his brother, who lived at
Ash Superior street when not engaged
in construction work outside the city.
The dead man was Anderson's favor
lite brother. They were nearly the
same age and in childhood had been
almost inseparable companions. The
sight of several articles which the dead
brother had cherished since a. bow
filed Anderson with grief. He wan
dered about the streets until taken
into custody by the police. His inco-
herent answers to questions impressed
them with the idea that he was in
sane.
Yesterday Anderson begged that the
city physician be sent for to examine
him. He appeared rational, but cried
when he told the story of the tragedies
that had entered his life. The citv
physician at once ordered him released

Christy Mathewson, the Giants
