TWO HUNDRED PLAYERS
ATTEND SESSIONS AT THE
TURNER HALL.
BIG PRIZE MONEY is COPIED
BY ST. PAUL AND LOCAL
CONTESTANTS


Skat League was staged at Turner Hall
Everybody is happy, however, as tn
sessions passed off without the trace o
an argument, or an appeal to tn,
grand skatmeister for the rendering O
decision. The sessions were attended
by nearly two hundred players, thu
Minneapolis contingent being rather
smaller than had been expected. St
Paul furnished big delegation and al
least twenty towns throughout Southern
Minnesota had one or several repre-
sentatives at the tournament. Players
came from Ivanhoe, Mankato, Fair.
mont, Belle PLANE, Jordan, Gibbon
Winthrop and other towns by automo.
bile, while players from other towns
along the Northwestern came by train.
The tournament was divided into an
afternoon and evening session, but it
was not necessary for any player to
participate in both sessions in order
to be entitled to prize money, as the
score sheets of both sessions were con-
sidered collectively by the judges.
While the local players made a strong
bid for first money in several of the
groups, the main prize Of SIS was carried
away by Frank Jungbauer, St. Paul
player, and the next high prize of $40
also went to St. Paul, Otto Reisner
winning out by a safe margin. The
prizes were awarded as follows:

During the intermission between the
afternoon and evening sessions supper
was served by the Turner Ladies'
Society, after which most of the visitors
went out on an auto trip to see the sights
of the city.
Shortly before opening of the evenings
play a business session of the Minnesota
Skat League was held, but no business
of Importance came before the meeting
It developed during the afternoon
that the M. & St. L. had decided tt
cancel the special train which was tt
carry the Twin City players and those
residing in towns along the line, hnc!
home after the second session.. Il
seems that the Minneapolis COMMITTEES
only had a verbal agreement with thu
railroad company as to the return tril
); to be made by the train and the railroad
company found it convenient to brea]
it. AS nearly every one of the Twin Cit.
players had made arrangements to b
at their respective places of bushes
on Monday morning there was COZ
siderable ill feeling against the railroa
company, some of the men even suggest
ing that the railroad company be bel
liable for the additional expense INQUIRE
and the loss of time caused by the raj
road company's action. The plaYe
were all taken care of by the New Ul1
players, however, and took the ear
morning trains for their homes.
Members of the New Ulm Skat GU
are we'll satisfied with the success Of tt
tournament and expect that this eli
will again be chosen for the state meetil
next summer. The small attendan
from Minneapolis was rather dlsa
: pointing in view Of the fact that Ne
! Ulm had sent a large delegation to t
state tournament last winter. The {
tendance from St. Paul and the Southe
Minnesota towns, however, was We
{ gratifying. From financial point
i view the tournament also was succe
a the local club being able to pay all
: expenses connected with the arran{
nents for the sessions and turning a n
sum into the club treasury.
