New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1919-02-12

With all colors flying, the twenty-six
"Skat Onkels" Of New Ulm who went
down to st. Paul to attend the mid
winter tournament of the Skat Clubs
of Minnesota, Sunday, returned to their
home fires on Monday. Although not
all OF them were numbered among the
winners they all were contented and
wore happy smils on their faces because
they knew that four of the big prizes
had been carried away by New Ulm
boys. Besides they brought with them
sweet memories of pleasant trip which
was given still higher meaning by the
fact that the winners from the home
town were not slow in showing their
appreciation of the rich gifts Fortune
had bestowed on them. It is even
VIII; spered that only few small remnants
of the prize money renamed imp posses
sion Of the winners when they shook the
dust of st. Paul from their feet.
Very Well Attended.
The tournament was very well at
tended by Skat players from all parts
of the state, according to the story by
]. P Graft and Sheriff VIM. Julius who
were among the local representatives.
In fact, it was the largest attendance
ever Witnessed at such convention.
This may have been partly due to the
exceptionally fine weather prevailing
during the time Of the tournament.
