FRANCIS KEMPE, CHAMPION sKI JUMPER
OF AMERICA
ret new figures Tor the long leap that
is the magnet that attracts the admir-
ers of this reckless form OF sport.
Great preparations have been made
to perfect the long slide at Cary SO that
the daring knights of the spruce blades
Will have every opportunity to either
equal or excel the record figures Of 12l
feet, made 10y Francis Kempe at Du-
luth, Mimi, II year ago.
The hill at Cary is one of the finest
in the country for the purpose. 1t will
he built up so that it will be $40 feet
high, of excellent grades, and the to-
tai length Of the course will be TAO
feet from end to end, making it an
ideal course.
These improvements will give the
men an opportunity to get up greater
momentum. and the moving OF the
takeoff will afford them much safer
landing place. A feature of the Cary
slide that is enjoyed by few others in
this country is that the path is sixteen
feet wide at the bump" or takeoff,
thus enabling the men to take the
jump I'm their own peculiar manner
and not have to follow the beaten
track OF their predecessors, as Is the
ease In a number Of other frozen path
ways
One hundred and twenty.one feet
was done at this course at the last
meet Of the skiers. and it Is expected
that with the improved conditions sew
eSal feet will be added to this mark
when the lovers OF the sport gather
for the banner event OF the season.
There is every reason to believe that
the slide will be lightning fast. pro-
and furnishes conditions favorable for
fast participation in the sport.
Ski jumping has rapidly forged TO
the front rank OF winter athletics in
the western section OF this country
since its introduction by the Norwe-
CLANS here not many years ago, and it
bids fair to retain the popular favor
by reason OF Its freedom from obJec-
tionable features that enter into other
sports. The love OF victory is firmly
installed in the minds OF the fearless
and shlfty followers of the sport. and
as the money prizes are comparatively
small and the betting conspicuous by
its absence there is absolutely no rea
son for the men not putting forth their
best efforts.
No thoughts of holding back enter
the mind OF man when he faces a
CLASSY stretch OF nearly 300 yards that
requires his utmost skill and nerve to
slide down at death defying speed
and then exacting a gathering OF all
his power for the leap that sends him
sailing through the air 10 safe land
ing in snow hsnk or perhaps a dan
gerOus fall,
As consequence skiing Is slowly
earning well deserved popularity
and from all indications there is every
reason 10 believe that this form OF
sport will IN time become a fixture.

RED HAIR WORTH $500, 900.
Girl to Get Fortune Because She
Looks Like Old Sweetheart.


Chicago, April Cred hair,
small feet and the fact that she re-
sembles a woman who was born In
France, are the specifications which
are to bring Miss Zula Mize a for
tune of 100000, according to the
story told by the young woman a
few days ago.
Miss Mize lived recently in New
Orleans. She has taken an expen-
Isive suite of rooms in the Hotel La
Sale and, she says, she will remain
here until the prospective inheri-
lance is within her grasp. Two parts
of her story are self-evident-
has very red hair, and the kind of
feet that Cinderella was famous for.
On the third part, Miss Mize
gives only an impressionate account.
| The money is to come to her, she
says, from a man who is IS years
old and quite feeble. She will not
give his name, but volunteers the
! information that he took fancy to
her because she looks like the mans
wife when the latter was girl in
France years ago. The wife is dead
and the Septuagenarian is repre-
scented as having no direct heirs.
