st. Cloud isn't so much.
1t will be recalled that a week or
so ago the near grand nula players of
the Granite City hurled def at Sank
Centre and announced their burning
desire TO meet the Sank Centre sharks
in an evenings set-to.
Tony Strauss ever Jealous of the
fair name of Sank Centre, immedi-
ately accepted the challenge in a
scathing rebuke of the temerity of
the Granite City gang.
They came up last evening, "a
strong. In their newspaper story it
was said that they were coming with
their pitchforks As the evening pro-
crossed it; was apparent that as
whist players they were probably
good hay-nnakers.
They entered the Community Club.
rooms with a rush, hoping by mere,
size (and they grow big in the Gran
tie City, to oyerwhelm the Main
Streeters. They opened up the pro-
ceedings by offering the following
spasm in song which set forth their
intentions:
How do you do, Sank Centre,
How do you do? =
Show do you do Sank Centre,
How do you dog
"We came to play some whist
We will eat your ludefisk.
Glow do you do Sank Centre,
How do you do?'

following teams competing:

1t was a procession, painfully so,
until County Auditor Nick Thomey
made the announcement that any
man in his crowd who did not win
game would be compelled to walk.
At this point the well known gener-
osity of the Sank Centre people began
to make its appearance, and the visit
ors were allowed to win game now
and then. However the generosity
mentioned above was not manifest
until Sank Centre had the contest
safely on ice. The final score: Sank
Centre, "a; st. Cloud, Al. The head
is always victor over hands.
The st. Cloud gentlemen proved
to be splendid sports and the locals
almost hated to defeat but they had
the chastisement coming. About IL 80
the Community Club chefs served a
real oyster stew with its trimmings.
Sigurd Holme president of the
Community Club then welcomed the
visitors very graciously and shedding
crockidile tears he told how sorry he
was to have his men defeat st. Cloud,
but consoled them with the statement
that better men had visited the city
and gone down to defeat. Numerous
other visitors and Sank Centre citiz-
ems were called on and just before the
party broke up the Sank Centre play
ers sent the visitors home with the
following song to mediate over:
GLOW do you do, st. Cloud How do
| you do?
GLOW do yout'do, st. Cloud How do
| you do?ssa
"You CAME forty miles, with your
faces all q smile,
Elbow do you do, st. Cloud How do
you do?
sGood bye, st. Cloud good bye,
ssGood bye, st. Cloud good bye,
eve didn't have the fisk,
tsBut we sure did have the whist.
"Good bye, st. Cloud, good bye.
ssGood bye, st. Cloud good bye;
Good bye, st. Cloud good bye.
"We hope you feel the same; and
we'll play another game.
"Good bye, st. Cloud Good Bye"
1t was very enjoyable evening.
