OF which is spent among the Saul
Centre businessmen. Mr.. Leudtke
suggested that because of the splen.
did railroad facilities in and out OF
Sank Centre and the fine highways
loading into the city, number oil
other statesmen would locate in Sank
Centre if there was a suitable place
for them to live. He said that the
travelling men would be delighted il
arrangements could be made to take
the Sank Centre branch of the Unit
ed Commercial Travellers into the
Community Club as a unit.
Mr.. Leudtke's address follows:
Mr.. Chairman-It was about year
ago that the travelling men living in
Sank Centre, held meeting in the
Community Club rooms, thanks to
the courtesy Of the board of direct
ors of your club, at which time it
was decided that the local travelling
men could further their own inter-
ests, In business way, fet better ac-
quainted with each other, and do
more towards boosting the City of
Sank Centre, if they were a unit of
the community and section of the
Community Club.
At the present time there are
twenty travelling men living in the
city of Sank Centre, all of whom
make this their headquarters, and all
of them travel in and around the sur
rounding country. Out of these
twenty statesmen, there are thirteen
VINO own their own homes, pay taxes,
send their children to school, and try
to live up to the ideals of this won
derful little city. The yearly pay
roll OF this bunch of travelling men
amounts to approximately $4,000,
practically all Of which is spent right
here in this city, with the local bust
ness men and dealers.
This organization, during the
past two years has made the strong.
est kind of effort to bring other trav-
cling men to this city, not only to
make this their headquarters, but al
so to make this their home. We have
every reason to believe that with the
railroad facilities, general location,
and with the live community spirit
which is evidenced by the Commun-
lty Club back of us we will be able
to fulfill the demand which is always
coming from other towns like Osakis.
Alexandria, St. Cloud and other
places, to have place in Sank Centre
to live.
In every town along the road our
twenty statesmen are boosting Sank
Centre, then why not have forty
boosters if we can?
1t is our desire to be a section of
the Community Club, a unit of
which we believe to be the very best
organization of its kind in the terri
tory which we cover, and when the
time comes for your board of direc-
ors to take the final action, thereby
making our organization a part of
your club, we wish to be known as
the Sank Centre u. C. T. or Travel
ing Mems Club, and are ready and
willing to pay our dues as a club
with a membership today, twenty
strong,

LOCALS TOP BOYS
 CLUB CIRCUIT
Assume First Place by Beating
 Meriden;; Intermediates Win
Triangular League Standing.

The local Boys club Reserves re- gained undisputed possession of first place in the Triangular league last night by downing Meriden on the New Britain floor. 29-22. This was the third and last game between these two teams, New Britain win ming two out of the three. The locals must now face Bristol twice in the Bell City, while Meriden will twice play host to the boys from over west. Inasmuch as Bristol has not yet won game or shown the power to win one, 1t is expected that both Meriden and New Britain will cop these contests and that New Britain will win by the mar gin gained last night.
 The game was exceptionally clean, Referee Avery calling only per- sonal fouls during the entire con- test. Meriden got away first on a field goal. but Captain Andy Yaku- bowicz started a big night by flip ping one in from the foul line and Charley Bigge sent the locals into the lead with two-pointer. Meri- den regained the advantage, but it departed forever when Abe Aron- son dropped one in to put the Re- serves ahead for the balance of the evening", The locals ran away and were or the long end of a 15-9 tally at halftime.
 Tn the third period the New Brit. ain boys started fast once more, but then their teamwork and eyes de- veloped unaccountable troubles and Meriden began to climb. The home team then stuck to the defense. while the visitors changed their line- up to no avail. They were held to hope" shots from the center of the floor, Kudla showing a good eye at this, but 1t was not enough and the Reserves conquered, 29-22.
 Captain Andy displayed great form on free throws, sinking out of 2 tries, while he added a pair of field goals. Aronson Tipped in , double -deckers and Bigge 3, while Lipman came through with one in the last quarter. Silva dropped back to guard and held his man to one basket. Fresen also put up a good defensive fight, Kudla's points being scored on long shots. Kudla and Kocin starred for Meriden. The score:

WHITE HANGS UP
 | HIS BOXING MITS
Veteran Lightweight Announces
 He Is Though

New York, Jan. 80. - Following the example set by Benny Leonard, the champion of his division. Char ley White, veteran Chicago light weight and one of Leonard's fore- most rivals for years. yesterday an- nounced his retirement from the ring through his manager, Ike Dor gan.
 White. who plans to devote his future to business in Chicago, leaves the ring with @ record of having fought eleven champions in. bantamweight, featherweight and lightweight ranks in a career begun in 1906. Record books credit him with having engaged in 1S1 fights, of which 61 were knockout victories.
 One of Whites most remarkable encounters was with Benny Leonard in 1920 at Benton Harbor, Mich. White was knocked out in the ninth round of terrific battle after he had sent Leonard through the ropes with one of his famous left hooks and come close to winning the light weight championship.
 Whites only other knockout was sustained at the hands of Pal Moran in the fourteenth round of bout at Madison Square Garden, 1923. That was his last important fight, although shortly afterward he knocked out Bobby Barrett of Phil adelphia.
 Despite that setback, White en- tertalned hopes of staging a come- back. He announced, however, that Leonard's retirement, removing any chance of his gaining another fight with the champion, was factor in his decision also to quit the ring, White was born In Liverpool, England, in 1891.

MATS DEFEATED
 FROM FOUL LINE
Lose to TerryVille Legion by
 %-24 Tally

Minus the services of the brilliant Taylor at forward and showing a pitlfulIy weak assault from the foul line the National Guards suffered their second defeat Of the season in Terryville last night when the Le- zion outfit handed them a 26-24 de- feat In the closing minutes of play. At half time the Mats had been leading 16 to 13, and this score in- dicates just how closely the game was fought by both teams.
 Hurwitz and Navin were the shining lights for the winners and Feeders" kilduff was the big noise for the Mats. The local oftense was built around '"Tedders" and the little guard tossed in four field goals himself and held his opposing for ward to- two,
 LaIIar teamed up with Reynolds at forward and each accounted for three field goals. while Les Wood ford, playing in bis first game as q professional, also got into the SCOT ing column with one goal when he relieved Reynolds, Carlo Restelli at center had a tough night of 1t and failed to get single tally while his opponent, HurwitZ ran wild on him, getting three from the floor and collecting on two free tries. As a matter of fact, the game was won on fouls for the Legion boys made good on eight of the free tries given them while the Mats failed to cage a single one of the chances they had Indicating that something was wrong with the locals from the 15- foot mark 1t might be noted that Reynolds had five free shots, LaHar two and Restelli l.

Loolss like this Paavo Nurmi fel- low Is all that has been said of him. Fact is, the sturdy Finn has proved himself an even greater runner since coming over to this country than had been thought.
 Unused to the indoor tracks and sent against the best competition this country could muster, the in Vadcr has swept it all aside with comparative ease. Even the great Joie Fay. generally acknowledged Americas premier long distance ace, has been forced to trail the stellar Finnish athlete
 Track Records Fall Rapidly
 Not only has Nurmi showed his heels to the rest of the field in all his starts thus far. but he has smashed one record after another until it has grown more or less monotonous. The sporting fraternity just naturally expects him to hang up a new mark, every time he enters q race.
 Nurmi is one of the easiest run ners that game has seen in some time. Running appears to be DO un- due effort with him. He just seems to jog along in a sort of Care-frce way. His stride is something to mar vel at. When under wraps he cov- CTS around six feet, seven inches at clip, which is increased to over seven feet as he gets up steam.
 His tremendous stride, plus wind, endurance and easy-running motion, has lifted the European to the top heights in long distance running.
 Others From Old Country
 Nurmi, while no doubt the great est long distance runner of all time, nevertheless isn't the only athlete from across the pond who has starred in this line. Far from It! A few years ago Finland pro- duced another sensational runner in Hans Kolehmainen. He copped three first places in the Olympic games at Stockholm in 1912, finish ing ahead in the cross country run and 5000 and 10000 meter canters. For a time he was regarded as the | king pin.
 Then we have Willie Rlto)a. r~t- while running mate of Nurmi's. Ritola is but a few steps behind his great companion. Another, Stenroos, likewise of Finland must also be considered. Stenroos was q clever long distance man years ago. AnN l though around thc fU-ycar- mark, was still good enough to win the marathon raco-the toughest of them all--in the Paris games last year.
 Britnns Had Great Pair
 Some 25 years or so ago. Ens'and brought out a good pair 'n A Shrubb and a chap by tho lamo oI Applebv Shruhb for many year. held every running r"r"r.' t"nn 'wC to 10 miles. Some of ,hm til stand, too.
 When it comes to long list1nc' running, we must take off our lids tt European athletes. For they are il class by themselves, From th' halcyen days of Shrubb right up t the coming of Nurmi, runners iron the old country have held the uppc hand for the most part.
