! strokes ahead of the dub" in Is holes
! and this looked like a sure way OF
gathering three nice, new golf balls
at the expense of someone else.
"Zukie" captured the first hole
with ease. He mounted the tee for
the drive for the second hole. He
teed his ball nicely, got into position
and was half way through with his
swing when a yell-"W oOf' --frac-
tured the afternoon quiet.
''WOOfr Unnerves Star Golfer.
The sudden yell threw 'Zukie' off
his balance, he topped the ball end
instead Of getting his average drive Of
225 yards he dribbled the ball about
eight feet.
Hey whatcha yellin' at me like
that FORE roared the enraged "Zukie'
at his foe.
81 gotta right to do it," was the
calm answer.
"Right2 You gotta right to yell?
Say. don't you know anything about
golf etiquette Doncha know you
dasnt yell or talk or even move when
your opponent is driving
Yes. 1 know that" responded his
foe. But don't you remember about
my handicap? I'm allowed two wOofs-
That was one Of them"
And then a great light dawned upon
"Zukie"
"Oh, that's whatcha meant. hey, when

preaching the dub" Would you
have game with me-"
The dub" looked at 'Zukie" in a
puzzled way, and said:
q don't quite make you"
II mean" said "Zukie." that I'd like
to play q game Of golf with you. I'll
give you handicap OF one stroke a
hOle-twO strokes a hole II you like.
And we'll play for one golf ball, just
to make It a bit interesting. What
say yOu?"
Dub Gets ''WoOr' Handicap
I'm willing replied the dub"
but I'm not satisfied with the han
dicap. Never mind giving me any
strokes. Just allow me two 'woofs' as
a handicap and I'll play you for two
or three balls, just as you like"
1t was 'Zukie's' turn to look puz-
zlod.
Two 'woofs? What's them. hey?v
he asked, Iapsing into the ungrammat-

Nothing at all except a couple Of

BOSTON, Detroit and Chicago are
picked as the three leading
teams, in the order named, for the
American league race next season.
Some of the eastern critics don't be-
ieve that Fielder Jones ard his
Terriers-BrOwns combination will be
able to land better than fourth
place However, you can't make the
st. Louis fans believe that.
MADISON MUDD will lead the

on Wednesday, he was chosen by a
margin of one vote over Elliott
Chess. Mudd played quarter last

TOM ANDREWS also comes IN for
some criticism in New Orleans
for boosting Fred Fulton. Here's
what the Daily States says: GAS
for the Milwaukee authority on
boxing, the Fulton-Flynn match is a
good indication as to why the
alleged $4,000 purse for Willard

test did not 20 through after the
bout was chased from New Orleans.
There are schOOlbOys in New Orleans
with enough knowledge of the game
to give some of the northern Fulton
boosters a few lessons in the
game"
JESS WILLARD'S management IS
) working" the newspapers OF the
country tor a lot of undeserved free
publicity, which the champion will
capitalize with a circus next summer.
They are "making matches" one day
and calling them off the next 1t
looks very much as though Tom
Tones, ct al, would like to create an
impression that Jess is willing to
fight but that the other fellows are
not. Tom would sure love a chance
to sidestep Frank Moran and would
welcome a fight with Fred Fulton
or little Jack Dillon as a stall.

FRED FULTON didn't make a hit
with the New Orleans critics
when he fought "POrl1y" Flynn in
the southern city. Here are some
of the comments: Fulton is little
more than a novice; "cried when
knocked DOWN; "what a narrow
escape the winter capital had Of
being heralded as the best town in
the Boob circuit from a Willard
Fulton fiascO"; contention that
Fulton is the best heavyweight in
the ring and better than Harry Wills
is beneath the contempt of those
who witnessed the bout"
HIGH SCHOOL played a greatly
improved game of basketball on
Wednesday night. They had some
real combination and were aggressive
to the point where they overstepped
the rules Despite the fact that the
referee was very lenient, no less than
ten personal fouls were called on the
Tigers. And a good many other
fouls were overlooked. The Tigers
have youth and weight, and the wav
they charge their opponents makes
1t evident that they forget everv-
thing in the desire to win. No one
believes that they are intentionaTv
rough but the fans all wish that the
boys would pay bit more attention
TO the rules.

ELMER H. HENJUM.

On Tuesday of last week, March
Ia, the entire community became en-
shrouded in a deep gloom of profound
sadness, when it was learned that the
most horrible and heart-rending
deed had been committed by Elmer
Henjum, whose lifeless body was
found by his brother, John, suspended
by a rope in an old COW barn.
He had been missing since some
time in the forenoon but no thoughts
were taken of his whereabouts until
his absence was conspicuous at the
dinner table. A search was made
with the above stated painful and
startling discovery. The shock to the
family can better be imagined than
described. No motive, whatever, is
known that might have prompted the
rash deed. He had not been in the
best of health during the last few
weeks, having complained of a head
ache which was aggravated consider
ably the previous Sunday when he re-
ceived a seemingly slight injury un-
cows horn. Thinking this affected
his brain, DR.. Hanson of New London
was summoned, who upon examina-

same which was thought to have caus-
ed the painful headache and might
have affected it otherwise though
nothing definite could be told then.
Deceased was born at the Hans
Henjum home in Town of Arctander
on Nov. IL, 1878, where he has very
faithfully spent the rest of his life.
He was Of rather quiet disposition,
though always cheerful. Always at
his post, never complaining in the
least. His devotion to the home, his
aged father and the rest of the fam.
lily was truly remarkable. What fat.
al state of mind had overtaken him
will always remain mystery.
The funeral took place on Friday at
the East Norway Lake church where
Rev. Sotendahl delivered a mastery
sermon to an audience that filled the
editice to it's entire capacity, on the
last verse of the 18th chapter of Mark
, after which interment took place in
, said cemetery.
The sympathy Of the entire com.
munity goes out to the bereaved fam.

Him who is the source Of all that's
to our good, descend to them in abund
ance in this hour of affliction, and as
time rolls on may we look back upon
the past with fuller realization and
