New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1914-08-19
VARIED SPORTING ACTIVITIES.

Sol 2 :"
Sunday Sport Section Of the Minneapolis
Journal mentioned the fact that Frank
Crawford, who has pitched several
games for New Ulm lately, has been
signed by the Cantillons and will be
given q tryout on the Minneapolis
American Association team this fall.
lrl Morse, pitching star of the Marshall
team, has been signed by Charles
Comiskey for the Chicago White Sox
in the American league Here's hoping
the boys make good in fast company.
Some of the fellows around town are
talking Of pulling off football game
the first or second week in September
if suitable arrangements can be made.
A Sleepy Eye or Springfield team would
be preferred as opponents. With such
college players as Amann, Groebner,
Backer, McHale and Cordes as nucleus
strong team could be quickly whipped
into shape to represent New Ulm.

Fishing in the Cottonwood river is
drawing many of the followers of Isaac
Walton away from work and business
worries these days. A week ago three or
four young fellows caught forty-three
black bass up the river and last Friday
Paul Hackbarth, Arnold Weddendorf,
William Pfeiffer, Elmer Cordes and
Armand Groebner caught ninety-three
black bass in little over three hours.
In order to prove their veracity as to
the size Of the catch they had photo
grapher take picture, but nobody will
vouch for the time taken to capture
them all.
With the defeat Of the Collegians by
the Eagles Saturday the latter jumped
into the undisputed lead in the Twilight
league race. The BARRIERS have shown
promise of wrestling the lead away
from them, however, and the Eagles
cannot be said to be sure Of winning
the pennant. Altho the Professionals
appear to be out of the race for first
place they will undoubtedly force the
Eagles, Collegians and BARRIERS to play
at their best to win their remaining
games.
Several young fellows in New Ulm
have signifed their willingness to
enter in tennis tournament to deter
mine the champions of the city in both
singles and doubles. With very little
work the courts at the south end of the
city could be fixed up in first-class shape
and some excellent tennis play would
no doubt be forthcoming in an elimi-
nation tournament. Anyone wishing
to take part in the sport will please
leave name with the Review Sporting
department.
Edwin Laue, formerly of New Ulm
but now living at Marshall, Mimi,
conceived the idea Of gathering number
of the stars of the ball teams of southern
Minnesota together and making tour
/ thru the Dakotas during the month of
September. Plans are being perfected
rapidly and if all goes we'll about dozen
players will leave Marshall about Sept.
9Th under the name of Laue's All-Stars.
Such players as Irl Morse, Mccarthy,
Kleine, Pfeiffer, Maloney, Weidel,
Kelley, Wines, Paul Morse, Primley
and others will make the tour. All of
these men have appeared in New Ulm
more or less this season and their names
will doubtless be familiar to the New
Ulm fans.
| Springfield will celebrate Wednesday
and Thursday and New Ulm fans will
have chance to see two games which
will do much to settle the Brown County
championship if they run up that way
on those days. On Wednesday Sleepy
Eye and the Springfield Maroons will
play at Riverside park at three o'clock
and Comfrey and the home team will
! get together on Thursday afternoon.
The unfortunate accident which oc-
CURED in the final inning of the Twilight
league game Monday evening when q
batter was hit in the eye by pitched
ball shows conclusively that the games
are being played too late in the evening
and it should serve as warning to the
! rest Of the players. Instead Of calling
the games for $50 they ought to b.
announced for 600 o'clock. When they
are billed for $50 they seldom gel
started until few minutes before Zoo
