BOGIE MEN FROM
GLENWOOD BEATEN
MORRIS WHIST SHARKS TIE
ON TINWARE
Eleven Whist Teams from Spring
Water Country Defeated Here
by Men Under General Who
Diets on Ludefisk

Glenwood and Morris whist players
met at the commercial club rooms in
this city last Thursday evening when
Morris defeated the visitors with
margin of eighty-six points. Glen
wood scored $50 points during the
evening while Morris ran up 536.
General Bogie of the Glenwoodites
had bunch of twenty -four of tne
best performers at the Pope county
seat but he pitted only twenty two
of them against the home guards un-
der General A. A. Davidson who. 1T is
,solemnly asserted. had dieted on
ludefisk for over a week in order to
be in tip top shape with clear whist
brain. Eleven tables were busy and
after the conclusion of the games the
players repaired to the Merchants
hotel where banquet was held. and
where m ny classical and humorous
responses created POSTMASTER Cherry.
Shortly after the arrival of the
Bogey men from Glenwood General
Bogie introduced set of rules which
he requested should govern the pro-
ceedings. His request was granted
and it was decided that the winner
should be declared upon the number
of points after two and half hours
play. A system of fines was also
agreed upon for PLAYERS who persisted
in nagging their partners about
''bonehead "plays. ..
General Davidson who is a wheat
buyer by occupation, newspaper man
by vocation and whist player by way
of diversion, had his newspaper kodak
in his po.ket and took the following
pen picture of the tournament:
"In looking over the various score
cards l find that Old Man Cooley and
Burke made an even one hundred
points with fifty-fou points to ths
good. Brown and Simmons could not
hold them from a complete runaway.
Charlie Dushek and P. Peterson
sprung a surprise by coming across
with the high score for the evening.
They accumulated 65 points lead over
their opponents, Thacker and Aune,
the merchant prince and leading bank
er at Glenwood. Gen. Bogey claims
this was his easy-mark team.
Cherry and Danielson lost by Is
points George lays it to Cherry but
George has the distinction of being
the only man who paid fine for CIV
ing his partner deserved calling
down for bonehead plays. While this
was going on Shipstead and Callaghan
took advantage of the situation and
dealt themselves a wonderful grand
hand which explains the loss to the
heroes from homo.
Weum and Brown had no easy time
to capture table 13. Baumgartner
and Whittemore opposed them at this
table.
Morris two austere judges, one OF
whom owes his comfortable existence
to the fact that he reaps his fees fro m
the reckless sowing of the unfortunate
living. and the other garners sparing
. ly from the dead, sat at adjoining
tables. One reported win and the
other a loss. This was perhaps due
to the fact that he is constantly
over-ruling the others decisions as tc
what constitutes safe grand hand
Judge Beise and Nels Olson hoisted
score card showing AZ points to the
good at their table. Nels demanded
to be decorated with the st. Olaf
cross and the Judge clamored for th'
Iron Cross. Both had double-crosset
Lund and Davis of the spring water
force who were no match for them
: Jones and Peterson would have VOL
by l6 points if Henry's mind had no
dwelt on that little fairy at his home
Quist and Martin were their opponent
and they walked off with the secon'
high score.
Miller and Bailey had to call al
expert accountant to settle their scor
for they were three scores behind
and Miller kept the tally card at that
Their opponents were the argus-ey
editor of the Herald and there was n
chance of slipping it over. Wollal
= and County Auditor Irgens for hi
partner.
City Manager Siverts and that fam
GUS old Yankee. Tewksbury. had tn
hardest luck of the evening. Tewk'
luck was bad-the worst he'd heve
seen and hos son lots Once h
