bank. has challenged l.. A. warnken
Of Grand Forks to game Of marbles.
Franklin claims he was greatly in
terested in Warnken's defeat at the

laurels of the victory, he now wants

here is what he writes:
Dear Warnken: We watched with
interest the outcome of the game YOU

drinks and. smokes. While we have
no curling rink in our little village,

AQUATIC
IS DEVELOPING
Americans Rapidly Coming to
Front as Swimmers-Hold
Majority of Records.

New York, March 1.-THE record
breaking performances OF American
swimmers at the recent aquatic carni-
val at Honolulu call attention anew
to the remarkable Improvement made
by Americans in this department OF
sport in the past few years Three
new worlds records We're established
during the course OF one days racing
with the result that moro than fifty
per cent Of the standard records are
now held by swimmers OF the states or
Hawaii.
All told there are thirty three
standard events which carry worlds
records recognized in the various
countries where the sport is popular
and high speed swimmers developed.
These events range from fifty yards or
about the equivalent in meters to two
miles and are divided into bath or in
door pool contests and open water
competitions In the bath class
eighteen events are listed while fifteen
are found in the open water division.
This list does not take into account
odd distances, swimming on the back,
plunge for distance and similar con-
tests.
OF the three now records made, two
displaced times previously held by
American swimmers but when Ludy
Langer Of Los Angeles, Cal, won the
440-yards event in SIN IT 35s, he
broke a record that has stood on the
books for some years to the credit OF
the great Australian expert Kieran.
The latter's time over the quarter
mile course In the Antipodes was 5m

a clear lead in the total of records.
Australia is a good second with Eng

L. A. WARNKEN STARTS
RIVALRY in CURLING
Loca: stane Artist Accepts Defeat
From Sherman and Then Hurls
Another Def.

One defeat from an all-star aggre-
cation has failed to down the spirit
Of l.. A. Warnken of the Caledonia
Curling club, who yesterday, comes
back stronger than ever with def
to any or all comers who claim to be
devotees of the Scotch frolic. Warn
ken gathered together four crack
stane beavers last week to back up
a challenge he had issued but Sher-
man went him one better and selected
Il quartette to help him that proved
entirely too good combination to ac-
cept defeat.
Warnken now wants sweet revenge,
and from all Indications, it is believed
that he will get it. Mere dinners are
too trrifing to be recognized now
and only the club championship title
is large enough stake to be COM
peted for. Here is WarnSen's def:
II must admit the Sherman rink
was in fine form at our match, and
we were outp]ayed at all times during
the game and have no alibi to offer
whatever. However, | take issue with
Brother Sherman as to the number Of
skips on my rink, Garvin and Shep-
pard. and no one doubts their ability.
My opponents rink had three skips,
at least they took part in all home
events. to say nothing about the abili-
ty Of Blair and Pagett.
M. $. blair has not known defeat
as a lead except in St. Paul, and Mr.
Pagett, his action like his playing. is
smooth to guard. Here comes a
known skip. Dunbar" Paul Girard.
the rock billiardist, never known to
miss. Next is Brother Gray, the skip,
known as the rock dynamitor. Last Is
my opponent, Brother Sherman, who
captured the honors, who is known as
q curler far and wide. / assure you
every point was hotly contested, but
my rink was outplayed from the be-
ginning to the last head.
7 am a good loser. but poor win
ner. Now. Brother Curriers', Mr.. Sher-
man desires to know who is next. An
sWer his call at once as the curling
season will soon close and 1 desire to
see Brother Sherman carry the hon
ors to a greater supremacy. Call him,
as I am out of the event.
However. I still have hopes of my
teams ability and can come back. 1t
seems that we will not be able to fin
ish the round robin event this season
to decide the winner and I therefore
feel 1t my duty to challenge any fve
players for the championship of
Grand Forks, the winner to be chal-
lenged by some other team only.
Remember, Forbes all games sched-
uled to be played and deliver the Ice

EXPORT TRADE IS

Chicago. March 6.-Announcements
that exports have been much larger
than was generally supposed had
good deal to do today with substan-
tial upturns which took place In the
wheat market. Closing quotations
were firm, 1902 5-Sc net higher;
with May at $1.90 5-8 1.90 S-4 ana
July at S1.59@1.69 Is. other COM
modities, too, scored gains-corn
1 1-4@2c: oats 1-2@S-4c, and pro"
visions 2@5c to 12c.
Reports of active purchasing IN tho
Southwest by Minneapolis millers
tended to strengthen the market, and
so did the circumstance that cash
premiums were the highest yet on the
1916 crop. Scarcity Of wheat for Inn
mediate shipment was illustrated by
the payment Of $2.01 a bushel here to-
day for No. 2 red, showing a bonus
Of II 1.2c for spot delivery as
against the May option.
Corn reached q new high level OF
prices, a result due in part to a show.
ing Of enlarged exports Of corn as
we'll as Of wheat. Filling Of govern
mont contracts acted as a stimulus to

MAY TRY TO CONTROL
HOCKEY IN AMERICA

An effort is about to be made to
reorganize and control amateur
hockey throughout the United States.
The International Skating Union of
America will take leading part in
this movement. Up to the present
time the game Of hockey has never
been engoverned by national body.
The various leagues and associations
OF the different section OF the toun-
try control the game and players In
their territory with the result that
various eligibility codes and game
rules prevail.
The officers Of the Skating Union
hope TO standardixe the regulations
governing both players and the sport
and to this end have requested the
cooperation Of the Amateur Athletic
Union with which It has an alliance.
The 4. a. y. Is now taking mail vote
on the proposition and Il appears
probable that the officers will OFFER no
objection TO the Skating Union efforts
