HOT CONTEST IN TROLLEY
 LEAGUE BOWLING TOURNEY

What bids fair to be a blood game will be rolled at the Palace alleys this evening when the fast Willi- mantle team will line up aginst the Palace five in the Trolley league bowling tournament. The Palace five after a. bad start have fought their way up from tail-enders to the first position with a small margin of three games over the secondary team which is the Willimantic five. Re ports come from the Thread city that they have strengthened their forcesby the addition of two outsiders who have a state wide reputation. Wheth- CT the local five is correctly in formed or not does not matter to them as at rate they are going the students of Tufts Bowling academy will have to topple the old maple for better than 1900 if they would carry home the bacon.
 If Willimantic should, by some miracle, take three stranght games they would tie up with the local boys but if they do not it will be al, over but the shouting for with q lead of six games the local boys would be unbeatable.

East and West May Meet in Tennis Tourney

ninth and tenth tabbed in in Shubert's $ column.
 In the closing rounds Herman ap- peared very tired and content to hang on for the distance. Hermans best stock in trade was a light left jab, fast left hook and a right uppercut that connected but once or twice, but which counted heavily. Shubert's left hook often jared the New Orleans battler and his right cross and short left hand chops to the body and jaw wore down the champion.
 There were no knockdowns, the nearest approach to one coming in the third round, when combination push and slip sent Herman to the mat.

Finally the list of home trainers consisted of the two St. Louis clubs and Connie Mack's team.

Though the war is over, our work

hand quotas, both for knitting and

You ladies of Winneshiek County

highly for what you have done. You
have responded to every appeal so
far, and have done far more than
you were asked to do. This convinc-

Dear Brother:
Received your most welcome letter
yesterday and was so glad to hear
from you. 1 am fine and hope these
lines will find you the same. So you
are mustered out already. You sure
are lucky that you didn't have to
come across. Also read that you were
going back to your old job in the
restaurant. Bet it seems nice to get
to work again. I thought of that
good old restaurant lot of times
last summer on those long hikes and
while in the line, but that corn
willie" tasted good too, believe me.
Suppose you had some good times
before you went to work. Was so
surprised to see that Lud. Winger
had died. Poor fellow. I got four
Public Opinions too, yesterday. Olga
sent them to me, and believe me I
read every word of them, so If you
happen to see Jack McAndrews greet
him, and tell him his paper is as
good as ever, il not better. A fellow
sets pretty lonesome at times: and
a few lines from the states raises
the morale quite a bit. Have no idea
yet about when We will get started
for home. Have been wondering
whether Serial has started or not.
Have not heard from him for about
three weeks. have been to an
automatic rife school this week for
three days, over at Mersch, town
about II kilos from here. Well have
nothing of interest to write about
so will close. Greet all the boys
know and write soon. 1 remain, with
love
