SMALL BOY BADLY HURT.

Raymond Brseuke, aged seven, was
the victim of a distressing accident last
Friday afternoon, on Minnesota Street,
in front of the Ottomeyer Store. Little
Raymond was walking along the side
walk with his mother, and as they were
nearing the crossing, the little lad started
to rush ahead across the street. Just
then a rig driven by the daughter of
Frank Huelskamp passed by, and Ray
mond, who had started to run across
with his head down, srepped into the
hind wheel of the buggy. He was
caught up and whirled around once,
then thrown up into the air, landing
on his forehead. His right leg was
broken above the knee, and he was
otherwise bruised about the head and
shoulders. A crowd quickly gathered
after the accident happened, and several
men pucked up the boy and carried
him into DR.. O. J. Seifert's Office. The
extent of his injuries was determined
there, the broken leg set, and then the
boy was carried to his home.

subject Of beggars, medicants, solicitors
and cripples that come to New Ulm for
begging purposes led to heated dis
cussion. All were agreed that something
should be done but they differed as to
the methods to be employed. The
matter was finally disposed of by re-
ferring it to committee consisting of
VIM. Mather, Prof. Alderman and
Hugh Walters, they to consider this
matter fully and if they deem it advisable,
appear before the City Council to insure
their cooperation.

AUGUST A sTANDPATTER.

Determined not to spoil the seasons
record for ornery weather, August stood
firm and this vicinity had to be satisfied
with an average temperature of 65.3 de
grees. A maximum Of 90 degrees on the
18th was qualified by minimum SO de
grees on the 30th. Last years tempera-
lures were 69.5 for the average, 81 max
imum and AZ minimum. You won't be-
lieve it but the weatherman says that
August of 1914 was wetter by two and a
half inches precipitation than August of
this year. That accounts for the mighty
good harvest weather we are enjoying.
Ten clear days as against three last Aug
ust with an equal showing of partly clear
days for the two comparative months
leaves the present one with something to
be said for it. Nine wholly cloudy days
marred the midsummer season but pre-
vented one of the distressingly hot spells
that usually arrive about the first two
weeks of the month. The prevailing
wind from the north was probably re-
sponsibly for the light frosts that fell
on the 25th and the Both. Minimum
temperasres recorded for August in
the past twenty years show no frost
until this very unusual season and out
Of the corresponding months Of Septem-
Der frost is indicated but eight times.

FINAL REPORT OF co. FAIR.

An attendance of from $500 to 1000
for the first day of the Brown County
fair has been estimated by the members
OF the committee in charge. This fell
off to about $500 the second day. While
it is impossible to give the accurate
figures, this is fairly close guess which
will give an idea how we'll or how poorly
the fair was attended this year.
The gate, grandstand and refreshment
stand receipts the first day amounted
to 1924. The second day they were
only $4,000. The total receipts this
year are estimated to be about $3.50
less than last year. The missing re-
mainder was carried out of town by the
Ringing Bros. Circus. Coming so close
as it did to the day of the fair, it pre-
vented many, especially from the out
side districts, from coming to take ad-
vantage of the fair. Two ''big days.
within week are usually too much in
the busy farming season; and this error
of judgment on the part of New Ulm,
in permitting the circus to compete with
the fari, will make it harder than ever
for the fair committee to make it
success next year.
The races drew a good crowd both
days. Some very close heats were run,
and the crowd was given all the excite
ment, and more, that their admission
fee commanded.
In the 2:3O trot, on Tuesday after
noon, Ruby II, entered by C. Freund
OF St. Paul won handily in each heat.
The best time made was in the first heat,
2:25 1-2. The second and third heats
were won at 2:29 IL, and 2:27 1-2.
'Peter Boyer, entered by T. D. Gold
berg of Duluth, and edna Bell'',
entered by J. D. Willard of Marshall,
divided the second prize. rags, en-
tered by VIM. O'Brien of St. Peter,
finished fourth.
The 2:17 pace was won by Virgins
Lass, owned by E. B. Hodgins, of
Sioux Fills, S. D., "Possywood", entered
by c. Freund Of St. Paul, won second
place, and Ebony Hal'' pulled down
third place. These three horses finished
each heat in the order named. The
best time made was 2:26 IL in the
second heat.
"Arminta Florence, owned by E. B.
Hodgins, of Sioux Falls, S. D., won the
2:23 trot on Wednesday afternoon
which went five heats before it was
decidee. The best time was 2:25 1-2
made in two heats. Ruby l." won
second money, Rags" third, and peter
Boyer" fourth.
In the special pace on Wednesday,
Virgins Lass, owned by E. B. Hold
gins, Sioux Falls, S. D. won first money
in 2:25 IL, 2:25 1-2, and 2:25. 'Possy-
wood took second place, Ebony Hall
third and Happy DAM fourth.

Blue Earth County lands are selling
as high as $165.00 an acre. However,
the farm that brought that price was one
which has every modern improvement.
It is all tiled and the personal property
alone was valued at $4,000. The farm
contains 100 acres and is the home Of one
OF the finest herds Of Holstein cattle in
the state.

BAD BIT OF ROADWAY.

There seems to be at least one danger.
GUS place in the newly graded road from
here to St. Peter and only very short
distance from New Ulm. The road in
question is graded and graveled to a
width of "a feet with the exception Of
those parts of the road where it was neces-
sary to put in culverts. At these points
the roads narrow down to about Is feet
One of these places is between here and
CORTLAND, about quarter of mile
east from the corner where the road
turns off to CORTLAND. The first near
accident occurred at this point last
Sunday evening about o'clock when
two cars, one owned by John Poehler
and the other by some Hector parties
tried to pass each other at this point.
Neither of them saw that the road was
narrower at this point and they could
not discern the trap which had been in
advertently and unwittingly laid for
them by the parties who built the road
or those who had the engineering of it.
Fortunately for both parties the cars
did not go completely off the road and
down the six foot embankment, but
hung there, ready to topple off any time.
It took over an hour of hard work to get
the cars back on the road to enable
them to proceed on thier journey.
Charles A. Stolz who happened along
there shortly after the accident is highly
incensed over what he considers crimi-
nal negligence Of the Nicollet Coun-
ty authorities in accepting road in the
condition it is in and permitting it to re-
main so. He maintains that it is the
duty of the proper authorities to at once
eliminate all such dangerous traps.

USE OF EMERY PAPER AN AID .
TO MANY BASE BALL PITCHERS
Joe Wood, Buck OF len, Kaler, Gregg
and Heating All Prohted by Deliv-
cry Before 1t Was Barred.

BOSTON, January 1S.-Manager Bill
Carrigan of the Boston Red Sox made
il interesting for the base ball writer's
the other afternoon at the clubs head
quarters by passing UP the usual COM
ments on base ball politics and talking
freely about the game as played on
the field
The use of emery paper on pitched
ball has been going on for the last two
years. but was ruled out of the Ameri-
can League last fall. when Umpire
Tommy Connolly caught Ray Heating
Of the New York Highlanders working
the wrinkle.
Manager Carrigan says that. rs far as
he can lea n, Kaler of the Cleveland
club and Buck" O'Brien We're about
the first to discover the fact that by
rubbing the ball against piece of
emery paper pitcher could make a
style of delivery could. Manager Car
rigan added:
Joe Wood and Gregg We're master
hands at the business. wood especially
was unhittable when he used this style
of ball last year. One day last season
we were playing the Athletics. and
Wood was standing the Mackmcn on
their heads, until Pennock, who was
working for the visiting team, became
very wild, and Eddie Collins tossed the
bali to Connie Mack. who called the
attention of the umpire to the rough
ness of the ball on one spot
The umpire asked to see Wood S
glove, but before handing over the
glove Joe slipped the piece OF emery
paper from slit in the palm or the
glove. After that the ball was thrown
to Janvrin every chance the Boston
players got. and Janvrin roughed the
spot on the ball before tossing it to
Wood. 1 doubt if Wood could have nm
ished the game but for Janvrin's help
with the emery paper
BUCK OBrien had the emery paper
sewed to the side of his waistband and
was working the emery ball when peo-

YANKS' BIG RENTAL.
100000 Will Be Demanded by the
Giants for Use of Polo Grounds.

NEW YORK, January 23.-The Yam
KEGS will pay nearly $4,000 for the use
of the Polo Grounds this year The
rent in 1914 was $4,000. and it is I'M
derstood that these figures have been
increased. In view of the fact that
the Yankees have no grounds of their
own, the Giants have been able to die
tate terms. Because of the high rent
al Of the Polo Grounds the new owners
of the local Americans are more than
anxious to build new park for the
season of 1915.
William N. Fleischmann. personal
representative of Col. Jacob Rupert
jr., president of the Yankees. an
nounced yesterday that plans for build
ing a new base ball plant will soon be
ready for the clubs inspection. Fleisch-
mann refused to indicate the location
of the new park, but he said that
selection of the site would be made In
tho near future. 1t is the clubs desire
to have the new grounds ready as soon
as possible. 30 that business relations
with the Giants may be severed for all

A TENNIS SOLAR PLEXUS."
Philadelphia Says Some Harsh
Things About Sport in New York.

PHILADELPHIA, January 23.-Phlia-
delphia will do all in its power to pre-
vent New York from weaving the national
championship tournament away from
Newport Sooner than see this classic
shifted to New York. the local contingent
will put up a fight to bring it to this
city. This is the gist of the proclamation
issued by A. L. Hoskns, vice president
Of the United States Lawn Tennis AS
ISOLATION, and a member Of the Merton
Cricket Club. -
The proposition to have the tourney
held in New York this year has met
with such disfavor in local tennis circles
that meeting will be held at the Racquet
Club today to instruct the delegates to
the annual gathering of the U. :. l.. i. a.
next month to vote in favor OF Newport
for 1915. All the Philadelphia clubs Will
be represented at the meeting. This city
has between eighteen and twenty-five
votes as regards the award of the tourney,
and 1t is believed that all will favor
tainty that Philadelphia will vote unani-
mously against the championship being
staged at the West Side Tennis Club,
at Forest Hills, L. l., which New Workers
are booming.
Mr.. Hoskins says New York is not
equipped to hold the tourney. and even
if it was, Philadelphia and Boston are
more logical places for holding the event.
With other things, MIR. HoSklnS attacks
the commercialism of sport in New York
When seen last night Mr.. Hoskins said:
Newport should be retained for at
least another year We owe this much
to Newport for the wonderful success
this tourney has had in the past thirty
four years. If it is to be taken from
Newport, Philadelphia and Boston de-
serve to have it sooner than New York.
New York probably wants 1t to COM
mercialize tennis as it has other sports.
The West Side Tennis Club, on Long
Island, is merely a landscape. and not a
suitable place to hold a national tour
ney. First of all. it lacks facilities The
clubhouse is inadequate, and. in fact. it
would be a farce If held there. The
Merton Cricket Club of this city, which
has done wonders for tennis. is better
equipped and more logical place to hold
the affair But Newport is deserving of
the tourney for another year, at least.
They have recently added ten acres of
land and spent more than $4,000 in the
past year. Newport has always made
success of the event. 1t is a social center
and very well equipped to stage the tour
ney. We are obligated to Newport, and
will fight any move New York may make
to win it away from that city"
K. Norris Williams, I'd. winner Of last
years national tourney; William J.
Clothier, former national champion, and
other leading local opponents of tennis
are heartily in favor of Newport for an
other year.

Boston A. A. May Substitute Race
for Ted Meredith's Benefit,

BOSTON, January 23.-The Boston
Athletic Club is extremely anxious to
have Ted" Meredith take part in its
athletic meet February 8. and now that
he cannot represent the University of
Pennsylvania in the special college
relay race. George Barron. manager of
the Unicorn track team. has suggest
ed that this event be Cancelled and one
substituted in which the 20o-meter
Olympic champion can compete. Bar
ron's plan to offset the A. A. US rul-
ing against Meredith is to stage a
race between an all-Philadelphia team
and Dartmouth University. Cornell will
not take part. as originally advertised.
This scheme would permit an entire
team Of University Of Pennsylvania
runners to compete against Dartmouth
and still not violate the parent body's
rulings.
