BEARDSLEY ELIMINATES
KELLY AT BILLIARDS

Only one game was played in the
three cushion billiard championship
tournament being held at the Gem Dill
lard hall Monday night The one
game however was more interesting
than any two that have been played
through the tournament, and moreover
furnished the biggest upset of the sea
son. J. Beardsley, son Of r. Bearosley'
who holds the record run for the tour
nament, defeated Tom Kelly in straight
billiards When the match was finished
Beardsley had scored 40 billiards to
Kelly's 50, which makes It so to 50, as
Beardsley has been allowed handicap
of 10 and Kelly shoots from scratch
Kelly had been picked to win the
match by most followers Of the game.
prior to Monday nights game. The way
that game started off, and until it had
gone more than half way, 1t certainly
appeared as though Tom was going to
fulfil these predictions.
At 80 Tom had picked up his handi
cap and was running ahead by two
points. At "a conditions were the same.
From there out, however, Beardsley
put I'D great game and when Kelly
ran into a streak of bad luck the
younger member Of the Beardsley fam
ily simply romped in. After reaching
"a, Kelly scored only four billiards
while Beardsley was running Is. Tom
lost one billiard after another, either
missing by a hair or from kiss. As
result Of Mondays play Kelly is elimin-
ated, as far as first place is concerned
Beardsley and Thompson will now
meet in the deciding game.
The winner of this game will cop
first prize while the loser will be tied
with Kelly for second place, which will
necessitate a olavoff. Thompson has
been picked to win the decic;ng game
with Beardsley, as it is believed the
latter played a little beyond his speed
Monday night. But he may spring an
other surprise and defeat Thompson

have been training for the past few
years. They expected to leave on their
long hike Monday morning. They have
not laid out any definite schedule but
expect to cover about % miles a day.
If they were able to do this and made
no stopovers they would cover the dis
lance in eight days 1t is not at all
likely, however, that they win do the
latter. On the contrary, they have
planned to stop over at all interesting
points en- route. The two ball players
believe the hike is the most beneficial
preliminary training they could posi-

is highly probable that many managers
will advocate long walks in future as
a preliminary training for their play

IL PASO is already beginning to re-
II aIize the benefits it will derive
IL from the Wiuard-JohnsOn fight,
March g.. and that the fight is going to
prove a big thing for the city in an ad-
vertising way is already being proved.
The report that the st. Louis Cardinals
and the New York Giants are to play
exhibition games here has been fully
verified. Big league teams touring the
country have played exhibition games
in FL Paso prior to this. But these
teams have played only one game at
each stopover. This time local fans
will have full week to watch big
leaguers engage in the national pas
time. Mr.. Curley. the promoter, says.
The special trip which these teams
will make to the city to play will be an
added advertisement for Ell PasO.
Arrangements are also under way to
match Carl Morris with Jim Flynn, and
Johnny Kilbane with some other good
boy. Gene belmont the hard hitting
Memphis boy, who, in addition to car
rying a stiff WALTON in either hand, is
a glutton for punishment, may secure
the match. Genes willingness to mix
il with any boy he fights has earned
him a host of friends in FL Paso- 1t
is certain lndL II Gene gets the match

a match between a pair of dancing

mentioned to fight Kilbane is Johnny

tamweiEht champion. Williams, too, is
great little chap for aGgressiveness,
and while he would be giving away
much weight to Kilbane he would be
sure to put up a great scrap. Were
Williams to win he would have the re-
markable honor of holding both the
bantamweight and featherweight
championships at the same time. XIII
bane. being far beyond the bantam
weight limit, could hardly lay claim
to that title. In fact, it is very doubt
full that Klbane can even make the
featherWeight limit.
These fights and other sporting
events which are in prospect are GER
tain to focus the eyes of the athletic
world on FL Paso. They will also bring
crowds from all over the country here
and some Of these people are certain
to remain while others will return as
soon as possible.

URGES ALL TO AID
ARBOR AND BIRD DAY

The return to the custom of the piO-
neers, who planted trees about their
homes to protect themselves from the
cold, is urged in a proclamation issued
Oy Governor Hammond fixing Friday.
April %, as Arbor and Bird day. Adults
throughout the state are asked to join
school children in setting out trees
and free advice from the state fores
try department is promised to all who
are interested. The proclamation says
in part:
let trees be planted about the
homes, along the country roads and on
the school grounds in the state. Let
there be appropriate exercises in the
school and study of the need and the
method of planting trees and refOrest-
ing lands where the timber has been
cut away. Let the children be taught
to associate the trees and the birds
and the important part the birds have
in the development of our orchards
and forests. Let all who are interest
ed call upon our state department Of
forestry for information in reference
to tree planting on the prairies and
in the timbered region and in refer
ence to the proper maintenance and
management of wood lots and shelter

GREY EAGLE FIRE
Todd County Village Suffers Largest
Fire in its History-Insurance
Was Small.

Grey Eagle suffered the most SER
ious fire in it's history last Saturday
morning. The Fuller store building
with the warehouses around it, the
postoffice building, the Alderman har-
ness shop and the Callahan feed store
were destroyed, says the Long Prair-
lie Leader.
The fire started at five o'clock Sat-
urday morning and was caused by the
explosion of a gasoline lamp. The
Eagle Mercantile Co., which has been
occupying the old postoffice building
adjoining the fuller block, was NOV
ing its stock into the west store room
of the Fuller block. F. H. Spencer,
the manager of the Eagle Co., had
gone to work shortly before o'clock
that morning and in opening the back
door of the warehouse at the rear of
the store building accidentally knock
ed the lamp he had been carrying, off
the table. The lamp exploded, and al
though every effort was Immediately
made to smother the flames they were
soon beyond control. A barrel of oil
and other inf1amable material was in
the warehouse and when these explod-
ed all hope of putting out the fire be-
fore serious loss had resulted, was
abandoned.
The loses are only partially cover
ed by insurance, therefore the burden
of tho fro 6oyooro will ho n ba,x,x,
one. While the second blaze was in
progress Saturday night, sparks trav-
eled considerably over a half a mile
and set fire to big straw stack on
the Rudolph Dettler farm.
F. H. Spencer's loss is $4,000 and
we are not advised at this writing as
to the amount of insurance. Miss
Grace Brunskill, milliner loses about
$500 over her insurance. Miss Ella
Rhode lost about $500 worth of mil
linery. Postmaster Thompson saved
practically all the postoffice property.
Jacob Callahan lost a carload of feed,
but saved most of the flour. 1t is
thought his loss is covered by insur-
ance. F. S. Fuller thinks his loss is
nearly covered by insurance. Mrs. H.
Mckay, who owned Alderman build
ing, is also protected by insurance.
James O'Leary, who occupied the sec
ond story of the Alderman building,
saved all of his household goods. Mr..
Alderman saved his goods. We do
not know if Mr.. Spencer will rebuild
or not. Mr.. Callahan, however, will
Immediately rebuild. Mr.. Fuller's loss
on machinery burned Saturday in the
second fire was about $500.

injunction against their enforcement
The commission certainly has done
some good. Whether it had done
SIS, 1000 worth was for the Legislature
to say. The House evidently thought
it had.
A bill that would no doubt have
caused endless trouble in the state if
it were allowed to go into effect, was
nicely disposed of by the Senate COM
mittee on education.
The committee indefinitely post
poned the bill to allow reading of the
Bible in the public schools.
1t would seem that the place for the
Bible is in the churches and Sunday
schools. The public schools are for
educational advantages of the pupils.
Their spiritual welfare must be left
mostly to the parents. The state has
assumed enough burdens as it is that
should be performed by the parents,
without taking upon itself the task of
inculating in the Aind of children
beautiful stories OF the Bible.
Senator J. D. Sullivan of St. Cloud,
has the satisfaction of knowing that
his bill to compel the use of Mime
sofa material in the construction of
state buildings passed both houses.
Two amendments adopted by the
House provided that where buildings
are under construction the same ma
terial may be used in them as was
started with and that where addition
al buildings are to be erected in a
group outside material may be used.
The amendments must be concurred
in by the Senate before the bill final
ly goes to the Governor for his sigma
ture.

Senate did not take kindly to tthe

force would be the Board of Control.

One thing the House did that will
find favor among many people was to
pass the Holmberg bill eliminating
the second choice feature of the pri-
mary law.
Actual practice demonstrated that
but few voters availed themselves of
the privilege of naming second
choice for office and the system lead
to confusion of both the elector and
the judges. 1t would seem that just
as capable men will be elected without
the expression of a second choice.

Hats off to the state banks!
Since August 1, 1912, not one of
them has failed or even been placed
in the hands of receiver, said A. H.
Turrittin, superintendent of banks.
When it is remembered that there are
close to 900 state banking institutions
in Minnesota this statement is re-
markable. There have been about $50
of them organized since August 1912.
Why should not the Minimum Wage
commission be continued?
The House apparently did not find
any reason to put it out of business,
as it voted $1,000 into the department
tai omnibus bill to keep the commits
sion going.
Of course, the minimum wage law
is difficult one to enforce. Without
a state constabulary the task is a
hard one. But Investigations by the
commission showed that in the large
cities especially, very small wages
are paid to women workers. Even
though the com mission does not bring
many employers into court, there is
the moral effect to. be considered.
Some of the employers voluntarily
put into effect the wage orders pro-
mulgated by the commission in spite
of the fact that the courts ordered an
