The Sioux Falls Press comments on
the Madison Normal and Maroon bas-
ket ball game in that city as follows :
I'm a slow, rough and tumble game
of basket ball in the high school gym
nasium Thursday evening the Madi-
son Normal quintet defeated the
Sioux Falls Maroons by a score of II
to 16. The game was close through
out, neither team exhibiting a very
clear knowledge of the game, but
clearly demonstrating that they have
had little practice and practically no
conditioning. Long passes and an
abundance of rough play were the
features of the game. The first half
a hard fought and ended with the
score standing 5 to 5. In the second
half poor guarding was responsible
for an increased number of baskets
or both sides and the score see sawed
back and forth until the final whistle
announced the close of the game with
the Normal i point in the lead.

Sioux City, Jan. 29.-Refusal Of

brought about another pause in the
shipping business of commission
houses and wholesale dealers. NJ
merous ears of fruit and products
from warmer climates were stopped
in transit. This will cause a delay in
shipments to the city and nearby
communities, it was stated by deal
ers.
Storage houses of wholesalers yes
terday were filled with ordered but
undelivered produce, and little pros
pect of getting il out in time for the
weekend business was seen. Dealers
yesterday were peeyish concerning
the way in which railroads are handl-
ing p~erishable shipments this winter.
1t is declared that roads have re-
fused shipments of p%erishable goods
when weather forecasts were issued
stating that the temperature would
drop as low as 10 degrees. This
makes it nearly impossible to operate
normally during the winter. accord
ing to dealers.
Wholesalers attribute the poor
service to lack of equipment.
Snow swirls that piled up drifts on
railroad lines in this territory caused
Sioux City railroad officials to de-
clare a temporary embargo against
shipments of livestock and perishable
stuffs in and out of South Dakota.
A severe storm is raging in South
Dakota, according to information re-
ceived by L. b. Beardsley, division
superintendent of the Milwaukee rail
road. Every snowplow at division
headquarters was pressed into service
to prevent a blockade of the entire
system. The plows, while unsuceess-
full in keeping the lines entirely clear
of drifts, provided passage for pas
senger trains. The cold necessitated
slow running. G+tft

CHAMPION Discovered
DURING ODD MOMENTS COURT
HOUSE CARETAkER SHONELS
FEW THOUSAND FEET
OF SNOW.

If you, after having shoveled the
snow from your narrow front and
back walks, suffer an occasional
twinge in the region of your spinal
column, and if you feel that the nus
cles Of your arms will never again
know their normal elasticity, go way
back. sit up as straight as your ach-
ing fibers will permit. and think of
Olaf Soften.
Even if you feel that the most
penetrating ointments will be as wa
ter in effecting relief for your abused
anatomy. concentrate your thoughts
on Olaf Soften and ponder long. 1t
is a cure or your money back.
BY way of introducing Olaf Soften
and one of his hobbies, il is written
here that he is the congenial care
taker of the county courthouse and
grounds, and that yesterday and to-
day he shoveled sufficient snow 70
clear a path one foot wide, clear
across the city of Madison.
1t was about noon. while he was
preparing to enter upon his real work
of the day, that Mr.. Soften smilingly
admitted he had been the man behind
the shovel in clearing snow from all
the walks leading to the courthouse
entrances. There are six approaches
to the grounds. Four are $50 feet
long. two are 125 feet long, and all
are 5 feet wide.
1t is not believed that any house
holder in Madison will refute the
statement that a foot of snow. on the
level. has fallen during yesterday and
the last couple of nights. Such being
the case. Mr.. Soften shoveled yester-
day and today no less than $3.50 Gu
bic feet of snow. or about as much
snow as could be piled on a small
sized train of flat cars. As the snow
was comparatively dry, il would
weigh approximately ten tons.
Just before suffering a relapse. the
compiler of the foregoing figures
reckoned that if Mr.. S%etten's shovel
was of the size most commonly used,
he must have bent his back between
1000 and 1900 times. He remarked
that if he completed his other duties
i'm time this afternoon he would prob
ably shovel off the four blocks OF
sidewalks around the courthouse
square.

ton 10 samples of various grades OF

carried in the car in order to show
the various grades as they appear on
the sheep; for the primary purpose OF
the tour Is to dispel the common idea
that wool is wool and that care in
the selection of the breed and in the
handling and grading of this clip are
unnecessary and Improbable details.
There is, says the specialists, no
reason why the individual should not
grade his wool for his own informa-
ton and profit. Once he has done
this, he will see that profits depend
upon the character as well as the
number of fleeees and he will turn
his attention to their betterment. 1t
is generally admitted that Australian
success in sheep breeding has been
due in a large measure to the object

LOSES GOODBRED
Savage Cannot Hold Internal
tiOnal League Star Pitcher.
He Wanted Bigger Salary Than
Manager VIII Get.

Pitcher Goodbred, the International
league star purchased by Jonn Savage
for his Topeka club. will not join the
local hurting staff this season unless
something Unforeseen occurs.
Goodbred was purchased from the
Brooklyn Nationals, subject his sign
ing a Topeka contract, but Savage
stated this morning that the star twirl-
err wanted as much as he pays his
manager. and that the terms proposed
by him were so out of reason that he
had returned the puIc chase agreement
to the Brooklyn club
1t was minated last week that
Savage could arrange to Keep Good
bred by paying him what salary he
could afford and by allowing the
Brooklyn club to pay the balance, but
in as much as Savage is one of the
strongest sticklers in the league for
observing the salary limit to the let
ter he promptly turned uown the
proposition
by taking Goodbred en- these
terms" the Topeka magnate said, Il
would be violating one Of the most
important rules in the league, as we
have all agreed TO stay within the
salary limit I intend to do so. I be-
licve the majority of the club owners
VIII do likewise, and if any of them
do not l think they will hear from all
who are trying to live up to the agree
ment and trying to keep the league on
a sound financial basis"

made arrangements for the chicago

PICK TRACK SQUAD
X, e. Cinder Men Are to Have
TryOuts This Week.
Prepare for Dual Meet With
NOrmals February z.

Lawrence, Kan, Jan 31.-A series Of
tryouts for the track squad have
been arranged for this week so that
Coach Hamilton can get a line on his
men before the Normal meet February
7. Every event will be held on one
of the first three days of the week and
from this Hamilton expects to pick
team that will show their heels to Bill
Hargiss's bunch.
The events will be run on different
days in order that the tracksters can
repeat in two events if they like. To-
day the mile run, high jump, quarter
mile shot put and thirty yard dash
will be held. The low hurdles and the
pole vault will be Tuesdays work.
Wednesday the two mile, half mile
and the high hurdles will be run. The
distance men especially will have time
to rest up for a second race because
the mile and two mile, the quarter and
half are two days apart.
1t sometimes happens that the team
is picked long before the tryOuts for
the meets but such is not the case this
year Hamilton has very little idea
who will start the Normal meet for
Kansas. This fact alone gives the
novice a promise for a fair chance.

Sport Wheezes
BY CLUG-

Lambeth, the newest pitcher on the
Savage staff, is some bird. Last season
he won 81 games and lost only 3, and
had three no-hit shutouts to his credit.
Also, the ex-Emporian is said to be
a good outfielder and to play the in
field to a certain extent. He was the
leading pitcher in the Kansas State
league in 1914.
One of the Modoc warblers boosted
that he would have the honor of sing
ing second base on the trip to the
coast. "And who will be your piping
pitcher ?" one of his audience asked.
Lefty Sproul, the K. U. referee,
was always with the ball and no foul
escaped him. says the Kansas State
Collegian in describing Sprouts work
in a basket ball game last week.
If the Collegian typesetter had only
spelled foul the other way! We had
a nice little line about chicken chasers
all ready.
