CHUCK WIGGINS IN DRAW
By BILL BELL

TACK THOMPSON, the St Joe, Mo ,
- heavyweight, who has been making
his abode in this city for the last four
months, defeated Big Bill Tate. of New
York, last night in the final bout Of the
weekly show of the olympia \. \.
Thompson's victory, however, was a hol-
low one, for Tate refused to fight after
the second round and the several thou
sand clubmen were greatly disappointed
As a fight this was a great chase.
Local fight fans as a result of Tate's
two knockout victories at the National
A. a. and ThOmpsons great fighting at
the Olympia, had awaited this meeting
with great interest. They were matched
more than a month ago. but Thompson
asserted that he had injured a bone in
his hand and therefore was compelled
to call the bout off. Some believed that
Jack was afraid Of Tate,

New Fourth in Doubt

The new hole was started last fall,
but the severe weather set the work
back considerably and the cold spring
did the rest. The course is two weeks
back Of it's condition of last year, but,
all in all, everything is in fine shape for
the big army of golfers who will play
there this week Tho greens especially
are in splendid condition and promise
to be fast when the qualifying day opens.
The growth of grass on the fairways is
getting better every year in spite of the
fact that the course is played over
almost continually from New Years to
Christmas. More golfers use the Attain
tic City course than any other golf links
in the country.
The eleventh hole has been extended
and now measures 10 yards, and is a
big Improvement over the old and
shorter hole This hole was changed
last fall, and the members are delighted
with the change. There is a new trap
on the first fairway to catch a topped
I ball, and there are minor changes or
| several ether holes. The traps, bunkers
| and pits have been raked and are ready

FOURTH HOLE IN DOUBT
By WILLIAM II. EVANS

All golf roads will lead to Atlantic
city this week, for on Thursday the
qualifying round of the annual spring
tournament will be played. The Coun-
try club of Atlantic city guarantees
pleasant weather for all who play at
Northfold this week, and as the tour
nament is played earlier than usual the
chances of settled weather are greater
than they have been in other years. The
tournament is great favorite with the
Philadelphia golfers and they will be
strongly represented,
There may be one innovation that
was not down on the original program
The club hopes to throw the new fourth
hole open for play Thursday, but there
is some uncertainty about it, and unless
Henry McSweeney the chairman of the
greens committee, decides that it is At
for play the qualifying round will he
played over a seventeen-hOle course, but
in order to fill out the eighteen-hole pro.
gram the first hole will be used as the
eighteenth, as well as the first.

GERMAN OFFENSE
BREAKS OUR LINE
THE GREAT WAVES OF THE HUN
BREAK DOWN BRITISH DE
TENSE IN PLACES
AlL|EOu0SS SMALL, GERMANS HIT HARD
At Distance We Are Unable To See
Bright Side OF The Present
Battle Situation

The late reports from the battle
front do not seem very hopeful to us
at a distance, but those who write
from the front do not seem to be as
hopeless. 1t looks to us as if the Ger
man advances were all tending to
sweep the Allies into the sea or break
the front of the British and French.
Experts at the front. however, seem
to feel that all of this retreating and
surrendering of places to the Ger
mans is part of a plan which will in
time mean that we will be the ulti-
mate victors. 1t certainly takes a lot
of faith and courage to feel that way,
and it seems to be a fact that some
people cannot recover from the de-
preston of mind that the present sit
uation brings. Reports that come
from Berlin must all be taken as less
than half truths, as they are prepared
for home consumption. Sent by wire
less, the only means. they must be
the same for friend and foe alike.
The Associated Press at Berlin can
not send out the truth as the govern
ment censors all Of their dispatches.
Frank II. Simonds, the American
historian, writing in the dailies of yes
terday, says:
$50 far, moreover, despite all his
efforts the German has NOT cOmnelled
the main French army OF maneuver to
engage. Save for a few French divi-
siOns sent out to cover the flank of
the Fifth army and prevent the sep
aration of British and French forces,
nc French troops have yet beer used.
The British have borne the burden of
the greatest of all attacks, as the
French bore the burden Of Verdun.
Thus, the existence OF this army of
mancuver, this strategic reserve, is
becoming more and more a menace
to the German. Twice in the past
month we have escaped from the
shadow Of "A real disaster. The i'm
mediate situation is still too grave ."

is manifestly beginning to turn. De-

CITY ELECTION

An election occurred In this city
Tuesday, though many Of the voters
will not be aware of the fact until
they read this item. In the various
wards the VOTES cast was from n e
fifth to one-fourth of those registered,
showing how little interest had been
aroused. Only one contest was staged
there being two candidates for alder
nan in the Third ward, J. F. Randall
winning over Henry Swering by a few
votes. This retires Mr.. Swering from
a long and faithful service as an al
derman. w. II. Beals was elected in
the First, /. B. Johnson in the Sec
ond and E. B. Wiley and Wm. Gala
han in the Fourth. This latter ward
had a vacancy caused by the remov-
al of Chas. Martinson to Aurora. B.
ID. Moore was elected police justice
to fill a vacancy.

DISTRICT n. S. CONTEST

Last Friday evening at the NJ. +.
church the district contest between
high schools for a representative at
the state contest to be held in May
at Huron, was held. Representatives
from Oldham and Bryant were pres
ent to compete with those from Brook
ings for the honors. Each of the
three schools had present their win
ming orator and declaimer. The
church was not so well filled as it
would have been if so many other en-
tertainments had not been on for hat
evening. The work Of the contestants
was very good and the applause Of
the audience was generous. The re-
suit was that Carl O'Hair of Brook
ings, won the O~ratorical contest, and
Miss Edna Riley Of Bookings, the
declamatOry contest. In OratOry, Nor
mar Hanson of Oldham, was second
and Raymond Kant of Bryant, third.
In the declarations, Miss Freda Sor-
enson of Bryant was second and Miss
Bernice PlOwman Of Oldham second.
The judges were Professor F. E.

RESPONSE FROM ALL
OVER THE COUNTY SHOW
OUR PATRIOTISM
LAKE HENDRICKS FIRST lover THE TOP"
When All Returns Are In Sure That
County And City Will Have
Done Full Share

The biz dgive for the sale Of the
Third Liberty Bonds has practically
passed, now the gathering up of the
ends is taking place. and the odds
and ends of the work and the check
ing up Of the lists is going on. While
the county has not gone clear over
the top with a rush and boom, like
some places reported. yet il seems al
most assured that if there is no fall
down anywhere. that we viii do so
by a considerable majority. Lake
Hendricks township was the first one
to call up Monday evening and report
the amount subscribed. 1t was over
four thousand above its quota and it
has since raised that to a twenty-five
per cent over subscription Alton,
Argo, Eureka, Laketon, Sherman and
Windsor townships followed in close
procession, showing that the agricul-
tural districts are doing their full
share and more. Monday was bad
weather in many places and the work
did not progress as rapidly as good
weather would have permitted. Mr..
Squirting, the county chairman, is
proud of the way things are going and
feels that the county is going to show
herself as an intensely patriotic COM
munity.
The city of Brookings is doing well.
though the sending of allotment cards
was not completed at the time desired.
There are quite a number who have
not had a chance as yet to have their
cards collected or to send them in, but
from the present outlook the situation
is very encouraging, and the belief is
now that there will not be a single
blue card turned in either from the
banking hours last night the amount
lurned on cards from the city had
reached $175.000O0 with a good sized
list to be checked up. The city com
mittee want the greatest amount of
credit for the success of the work on
sunday to be given to the corps of
young ladies, organized by Mrs. j. A.
Bonnell and Mrs. +. X. Series. They
did yeoman service in collecting the
ards and it is TO their willing and eff
lcient efforts that the committee give
credit for the prompt returns in the
city.
The committee having charge Of the
city campaign have been requested to
publish the names Of all those who
we're allotted bonds and who have TAX
N the amount that they We're asked
to subscribe. 1t is very gratifying
