GIBBoN WINS TOURNAMENT.

Stewart held baseball tournament la
last Thursday, the teams from Glencoe,
Hutchinson, Gibbon and Stewart being
entered. Hutchinson and Glencoe playe
played in the morninr, the latter winning
by an to count. Gibbon and Stewart
met at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Gibbon
winning by score of 2. to O. Then the
two winners, Glencoe and Gibbon tangled
up and Gibbon won the contest by safe
margin, the final score being to l.
Russell pitched the entire first game for
the Gibbbn team and also twirled the first
six innings of the second contest, not al
lowing his opponents score in the fifteen
innings. Pfeiffer then went in and Twill
ed the last three innings of the Glencoe
game. Hodgins worked behind the bat
for Gibbon, ''Chick" Williams cavorated
at second, Pfeiffer played left field and
Cordes was seen in right for the greater
part of the two games.
The Gibbonites won the first contest
in the seventh frame when Pfeiffer tripl-
ed to left and after two men were put out
Olson smashed a drive to left. The ball
buried itself under one of the automo-
biles in the outer garden and both men
scored.
Lambert hurled for Glencoe against
Gibbon in the second game and allowed
only two hits, Hodgins and Carlson being
the lucky batters. Miserable support
and little wildnesss lost Lambert the
game. A number of New Ulm fans ran
over to Stewart to enjoy the sport and
had great time.
When Pfeiffer went into the box in the
seventh he began by using nothing but
speed and the result was decidedly disas-
trous. The first man up tripled to left
and scored on wild throw to third. The
next batter beat out an infield single and
then Lambert doubled to left. With rum
ners on second and third and then nobody
out Pfeifer began using his splitter and
struck out the next three batters on nine
pitched balls, much to the relief of the
Gibbon and New Ulm fans.

All Nations vs.
New Ulm Again
THREE GREAT GAMES SATURDAY
AND SUNDAY ON LOCAL
GROUNDS.
NIGHT BASEBALL TO BE SHOWN
HERE SATURDAY NIGHT.
BE THERE!

New Ulm fans will have chance to
see plenty of baseball here this coming
Saturday and Sunday for the All Nations
will play the New Ulm team series of
three games in the two days. The
big event, however, will be the Saturday
night game. This is the first time that
night baseball has ever been attempted
in this part of the country and should
draw thousands of people from New Ulm
and the surrounding country to witness
the novel play.
The All Nations carry the Swaine sys-
tenn of electric lights. Hundreds of arcs
will be placed around the field, giving
$4,000 candle power of light and making
the field as light as day. A special ball
will be used for the night baseball, but in
every other respect the game is played
as a regular game.
The All Nations played the local club
here several weeks ago, winning by to
8 score. Since that time the Athletics
have improved wonderfully in their play
and should give the travellers an even
tighter scrap for the honors. Crawford,
Conway and Smith will do the twirling
for the New Ulm bunch, and Donaldson,
Jackson and Mendez will be working for
the All Nations.
The first Saturday game will be called
at $3.50 p. m. and the two teams will
struggle hard to get the opening contest.
The Saturday night game will be called
at 9:15 and tthe stands will undoubtedly
be packed to the very limit by nine
O'Clock. Night baseball was first sue
cessfully attempted at Cincinnati several
years ago and since that time number of
the travelling teams of the country have
purchased the necessary equipment. It
is claimed that every single play can be
seen as plainly as in game in broad day
light. The third and last series of the
game will be called at three o'clock Sum
day afternoon.

Notes OF the Sunday Victory.

Pfeifer made every one of his hits on
bad balls. In the ninth he caught an out
and drove it down the third bace line for
a single. The ball was so wide that KEEL
ley never dreamed Pfeiffer could hit it and
the Marshall third baseman was caught
flat-footed. The first Of Burk's errors was
a hard-hit ball that might have been
marked as a hit. The second, misplay
was n easy chance, however.
Crawford did not get string of strike
outs, but his two in the ninth came at
the right time.
Pfeiffer's smash in the sixth was one of
these low liners fairly close to the foul
line. it looked like a sure triple, but
Robinson sprinted hard and gathered it
in on the run.
Hodgins has been getting hits in the
pinches the last few games. His drive
in the fourth inning gave New Ulm the
winning runs.
From the game that Crawford pitched
one could hardly believe that he had
pitched game the day before. He
twirled for the Minneapolis Athletic Club
against the Minnesota Boat Club, on
Saturday, winning by an 8 to score. He
held his opponents to four hits.
Friedl's play when he backed up third
base in the third inning was as heady a
piece Of work as was seen in the entire
game.
Melvin Vogtel and Roland Mayer
drove up to Stewart Thursday in the
formers car to attend the baseball tour.

field. Some lightning work followed.
Pfeiffer threw to third and Framer was
caught between third and home. Hold
gins hit him in the back with the ball and
the sphere bounced into left field. Ed
Friedl was the life-saver in this instance.
He was backing up the play and, grab
bling up the ball, he chased Robinson
between second and third and touched
him out before anyone could realize what
had happened.
The clouters came up again in the New
Ulm fourth and another pair of runs re-
suited. With one gone Pfeiffer singled
to center and arrived safely at third when
Mccarthy pegged wildly on FriedPs
sacrifice, Friedl reaching the keystone
sack. Dahms famed out, making two
gone so it was up to Hodgins to deliver.
He did. He lined fine one-base smash
to left center, giving both Pfeiffer and
Friedl plenty of time to score. Burk's
strikeout was the third hand down for the
inning.
An error by Burk allowed Kline to
reach first with none down in the last Of
the fourth, but Crawford would not allow
him to register. Earl Morse lifted fly
to Friedl; his brother went out, Cordes to
Burk, Kline taking second. Cordes
made good stop and quick recovery
of hard hit ball on this play and was
given good hand by the fans. Nc
Carthy then rolled one to Crawford for
the third out.
The last Of the sixth resulted in one OF
those old-time jawing- matches and al
most broke up the game. Framer
walked to start the trouble and Robin
son was hit. Kline's fly to right allowed
Framer to go to third after the catch
and Robinson went to second. Earl
Morse dumped one in front of the plate
Hodgins threw the ball toward first but
hit Morse in the back. Umpire Towne
called Morse out for interfering with the
throw as he was jumping in the air and
waving his arms as he ran. Then they
squared off and fooled around for at
least twenty minutes. They first claimed
that it was not interference, and when
they saw that that would not do any
good they objected to the sending of the
baserunners back to second and third.
Framer had scored on the play and
Robinson had gone to third. According
to the official rules no runner can advance
| when the batsman or another runner is
out for interference with play. They
hemmed and hawed until the fans be-
| came disguised, but the Marshall team
would not give in and finally the score
was allowed and Robinson remained on
third, Morse being called out. Paul
Morse then rolled out, Friedl to Burk.
After the fourth not New Ulm
runner reached first in safety until the
ninth when Pfeiffer singled to left with
one down. After Friedl famed Bill
attempted to pilfer the middle corner
and was out, Mccarthy to Morse. But
the game was not over. Crawford
easily disposed of the first two Marshall
men in the last of the ninth, c.. Williams
taking Kline's fly and Earl Morse took
three strikes P. Morse drew walk and
| Mccarthy punched a single to center,
Morse going to second. Things appeared
trife dubious for New Ulm, but Craw-
ford was again equal to the occasion and
struck out Hardstead.

the ball. Sheehan famed and Dresser
rolled to Cordes.
The Athletics tried hard to do some
thing in the last of the seventh as they
knew the game would be called at the
end Of the inning. Joe Smith struck out
and Lindemann, batting for Burk rolled
to Maloney. Friedl smashed out a
single, but Cordes famed and the game
was over.

Pirates Shutout
Nicollet Team
NEW ULM SECOND TEAM TAKES
FAST CONTEST SUNDAY.
/ TO 0.
KUESTER AND HIPPERT ENGAGE
IN GREAT PITCHING DUEL
ATNIcOLLET.

The Pirates won great game from the
Nicollet team at Nicollet on Sunday,
getting the only score of the game in the
seventh inning. Both teams played
great ball in the field, one spectacular
catch after the other being made. Kues-
ter was on the mound for the Buccaneers
and held the neighboring basemen to four
hits, shutting them out with ease. He
famed an even dozen of his opponents,
getting strikeout after strikeout when the
Nicollet players appeared to threaten to
register.
Hippert who did the twirling against
the Pirates, was also in rare form. He
allowed the famed Ahrens' aggregation
but quintet of safeties and struck out
ten of them. Had it not been for cost
ly error in that fatal seventh, they would
probably be batting yet for the. honors as
Hippert would not allow them to earn a
run off his pitching. Kuester retired
his opponents on five pitched balls in the
fifth inning, but not to be outdone Hip
pert pulled the same stunt on the Pirates
in the sixth.
Schaefer was the dazzling star of the
entertainment He managed to hook
his spikes into the plate with only score
Of the game and saved the day for the
Pirates in the last of the seventh by MAX
ing great running catch of a foul ball.
With Nicollet players roosting on the
sacks in that frame and two out he ran
over forty feet and grabbed a pop-up off
Sommer's bat, retiring the side.
Kleinschmidt banged out two Of the
Pirates five hits, but Schapekahm's
single which scoredSchaefer in the seventh
was more valuable. A fast double play
by the Nicollet boys held the Pirates back
in the eighth inning and good twirling by
Hippert prevented them from ringing up
scores in the other innings.
Kleinschmidt singled with two down
in the first round but Schaefer famed for
the third out. Kennedy got on forNicol-
let in the opening frame but the next two
failed him. In the last of the second
Ellingson was hit by pitched ball but
the next two were easy outs for the
Pirates. In the first of the fourth the
Buccaneers threatened rather danger
ously but could not quite push one over.
Kleinschmidt singled with one out and
! stole second but Hippert struck out both
Schaefer and Kuester.
The big opportunity came in che
first of the seventh when Schaefer was
first up and reached the initial corner
on an error by Kennedy. A sacrifice
sent him ahead and then things did
not look very promising when ]. Ahrens
famed. Schapekahm delivered the
necessary clout, however, scoring Schae-
fer.
The best chance that Nicollet had
came in the second part of the same
inning. Oslund singled with one down
and Olson dropped the ball in a slough
for two bases. Kuester worked hard
and struck out Ellingson and then
Schaefer made his great stab of Sum
mer's foul for the third out. In the
ninth Jensen singled with one in the
morgue but the game was over when
Kuester famed both Oslund and Olson

Placing the family phonograph on

to her husband:

Borrowed Plumes
, Weeklv Scotsman.

From the Weekly Scotsman
So fashionable has It become in Ger
many for students to display at least one
schr. the souvenir of duel. that there
has now arisen quite an opportunity for
skillful and unscrupulous surgeons in the
making of artificial scars which will sur
hciently decorate the youthful counte-
nance with marks of savage alterations
without the risk attendant on particpa-
tion In a genuine duel. The CONNER
cially acquired wounds of honor have the
advantage over those obtained in actual
combat that they may be placed where
the student wills instead OF falling at
some inconvenient spot where they dis
tort the manly visage instead OF adding
the last touch of fascination to its charms
A dashing slash across the cheek Is tho
favorite situation for scar of this kind.
The older men of Germany and the gen
uine duellists are indignant over this ruse
whereby irresponsible youth seeks to win
laurels without taking risks.

RECEIPTS HEAVY IN
CHICAGO PAST WEEK
Severe Weather Holds in
Check Short Sellers-NO
Excited Buying

Chicago, February 7.-Severe weather
west held in check today short sellers of
wheat, but the crop scare did not suffi-
ciently develop to start a big bull market
After modest advance prices closed
easy at exactly last nights level Corn
showed a net loss OF i4@ssc to ssa1sc
oats finished unchanged, and provisions
down 2lkc to 214ia5e.
Snow covering, whether heavy enough
or not to prevent crop damage, was of
adequate extent TO halt any excited buy
ing of wheat. Every time the market
bulged, commission houses would become
free with orders to sell. On the other
hand, the west sent no orders to buy
and there was only a temporary effect
from Antwerp cables estimating the Ar
gentina exportabie surplus at 10000 900
bushels, the smallest total mentioned this
season.
Restraint on bulls came partly from
knowledge that In the last fortnight as
much as 100000 bushels of hard winter
wheat has been bought for shipment from
Kansas City and Nebraska to Chicago
Receipts here for the week were the
largest for any corresponding time in
more than five years.
Increased country offerings with pros
poets for bigger receipts led to break
in the corn market. Moreover the cold
weather had failed to bring about any
decided revival of demand for feed, and
there were rains which favored the crop
in Argentina.
Oats were sustained by fear that the
Texas yield would suffer harm from the
temperature falling suddenly 65 degrees.
Expected larger supplies of hogs next
week made the provision market easy.
Longs were more inclined to take profits
than to give prices support.

Incorrect Use of Quotations

Some OF the most frequently used
quotations are not quotations at all,
brt in many cases convey the opposite
of the original workings, says
the New York sun.
Fenimore Cooper for instance,
thought he was quoting from the Bible
when he spoke of an inscription being
SO devised that che who runs may
read" signifying that 1t was easily
read by a man in haste.
II Cooper had looked in his Bible
he would have found in the Book of
Habakkuk that the passage he tried
to quote was: Write the vision and
make it plain that he may run that
readeth it." The vision was a warn
ing. and the reader was to flee from
danger. but the Cooper version has
survived, the original and practically
put it out of use.
A peculiar chronic misauotations is
that of the passage In "Hudibras."
which says: "He that complies against
his will is of the same opinion still"
Authors and public speakers without
number have twisted that into "a man
convinced against his will is of the
man who was convinced could not pos
sibly remain of the same opinion. for
If he was of the same opinion he
would not be convinced.
Theodore Roosevelt publicly declared
that Washington. in his farewell ad-
dress, said: "To be prepared for war
Is the most effective means to promote
peace." But the firse President said
nothing of the sort In his farewell
address In his first message to Con-
gress he said ITO be prepared for war
is one of the most effective means
Of preserving peace" and he spoke of
other means as well.
Novelists do not seem to be very
strong in their knowledge of the
scriptures somehow. and Sir Walter
Scott in THE Heart OF Midlothian"
attempts to point a moral with the
words: Our simple and unpretending
heroine had the merit of those peace
makers to whom it is promised as a
benediction that they shall inherit the
earth." The fact Is that the peace
makers did not receive any such prom
Ise, but 1t is said that "the meek shall
Inherit the earth"
