CHAMPION FANCY
SKATER OF WORLD
IS TO PERFORM IN
BISMARCK SUNDAY
Bismarck, X. D., Feb. 26.—Dem
onstrations of speed and fancy skat
ing by the world's champion of the
Ice', John Karlsen, late of Minnesota
and now chief of the sales staff of S.
E. Bergeson & Co., will be offered
Bismarck sports lovers at the Custer
park rink at 3 o'clock Sunday after
noon. As a skater and as a marathon
runner, John Karlsen is international
ly famous, and, although he is now
more than forty years old, a rigid
regimen of physical training which
he laid down for himself as a boy has
so well preserved his powers that his
laurels have not been threatened in
recent yeaTS. It was Karlsen, who at
the a^ge of 41, clipped one minute and
14 seconds from the 25-mile mara
thon skating record established when
J. F. Donaghue did it in 1.31:29 at
Stamford. Conn., in 1893. That rec
ord had stood for 23 years, and Karl
sen shattered it at Lake of the Isles,
in the face of a cutting wind and
frigid cold.
Bismarck's new citizen who is des
tined to put the North Dakota capital
on the world's sports map was born
at Trondjhem, Norway, and he has
been prominent in athletics for 31
years. As a marathon runner he has
entered in many important club
events on both sides of the Atlantic,
and in the halcyon days of cycling he
rode in the six days' event at Madison
Square garden. New York, and else
where. He is deeply interested in
athletics of all forms, and his coming
to Bismarck is expected to give a for
ward impetus to a popular demand
which has existed for some time for
proper gymnasium facilities for the
capital city.
Sunday's Program.
Sunday afternoon Mr. Karlsen, us
ing his own type of racing skate, will
demonstrate speed and illustrate a
number of fancy strokes, such as the
Jackflon-Haynes vine, the double
(•cissors and the flying figure three.
He will exemplify toe balancing as
practiced by Charlottee, the world's
champion woman skater, and will
show all of the approved racing
strokes. With him, skating is an art.
and he is a master artist, one of the
rrentest the ice game has ever pro
duced. and, in point of longevity,
probably the most remarkable.

don second team defeated the Wales

partinent commission on training
camp activities has announced
through Dr. Joseph E. Raycroft,
army athletic director.
In cases where camp athletic di
rectors have not been commissioned,
their disposition will rest with the di
vision commander when the forces
are sent overseas, Dr. Raycroft states.
Where a request for their services is
made, they will be permitted to go
across. Otherwise, they will be re
tained at the cantonments to train
new increments of men as they are
summoned to the colors.
Boxing instructors will not be sent
across with the troops, as Dr. Ray

is greater on this side for the present.
Enlisted men who have had advanced
instruction in the training camps will
carry on their work in France.

Moran's right eye was badly cut by
Fulton during the firet round, and the

NEWSPAPKR VERDICT
GOES TO O'DOWD.
St. Paul, Minn., Feb. 26.—Newspa
per critics gave Mike O'Dowd of St.
Paul, claimant of the middleweight
championship, a shade over Harry
Greb of Pittsburgh, at the end of a
ten-round bout tuere last night. Greb
did most of the leading, but could not
get inside O'Dowd's left hand.
O'Dowd fought a strong defensive
battle, forcing Greb frequently to
swing wildly or stopping him short
with a stiff left. He broke ground
repeatedly before the Pittsburgh man,
dodging Greb's attempted left hooks.
The bout was briskly fought by
both men. O'Dowd played for Greb's
ribs in the earlier rounds, getting in
under his left arm with some blows
that appeared damaging. In the sec
ond a right smash to the Pittsburgh
er's mouth brought the first blood of
the fray. With the crowd calling for
a knockout, the local boxer made his
best showing, but Greb skillfully cov
ered and clinched.
Billy Emke, middleweight, of Le
Willard added that he woul(J be wil
ling for the fight to take place as
soon as arrangements could be com
pleted.
Downey Suspended.
Milwaukee, Wis., Feb. 26.—Bryan
Downey of Chicago, middleweight
boxer, was Monday suspended for 60
days by the Wisconsin Athletic com
mission on a charge of having violat

wrestling and stalling and refused to

High School Basket Ball
Teams to Put up Hard
Fights.
The high school district tourna
ment will be held at the university
gymnasium on March 8 and 9. Many
teams have already signified their in
tention of entering the tournament,
and a very interesting meet is prom
ised. In the plan as laid down by the
authorities in charge of the high
school athletic activities, the state is
divided into four districts. All of the
teams desiring to enter the tourna
ments, may enter the district tourna
ment. The winners of the cham
pionships in the respective district
tournaments meet to decide the cham
pionship of the state. This year, the
state championship tournament will
be held at Fargo.
The district tournament to be play
ed here will be very hard fought and
interesting, as the district contains
some very capable basketball teams.
Seven teams have already sent in
their entries to Prof. F. L. Thomp
son, athletic director at the university,
who has charge of the tournament.
These teams are Minto, Pembina, Mi
chigan, Petersburg, Grafton, Mayville,
and St. Thomas. All of these cities
are represented by very fast teams, as
their records show. Minto, Pembina,
Grafton and St. Thomas represent
the northern part of the district, and
all have gone through the season,
thus far, with a very successful rec
ord. Petersburg and Michigan have
two very speedy aggregations, Peters
burg sustaining only two defeats
throughout their schedule. Michigan,
last, year's state champion, is not as
strong as last year, but will make a
good bid for the championship. Lit
tle is known of the strength of May
ville, as they have not met any of
the teams in this section of the dis
trict.
It is extremely probable that sev
eral other fast teams will be entered
In the competition. Grand Forks,
having played through a very success
ful season, will undoubtedly be rep
resented. I^ngdon and Park River,
both having strong teams, are expect
ed to enter. Devils Lake, victor over
Grand Forks, in last week's game,
will probably send their delegates to
(he tournament.
The.tournament, judging by the en
tries. should be one of the most in
teresting held. All of the rttieft are
represented by hoth fast and expeH

Dempsey. the San Francisco heavy
weight, won from Bill Brennan here
la*i night in tne sixth round ot' what
was to have been a ten-roun bout.
The referee stopped the bout to save
Brennan from a knockout.
IJempsey had the advantage from
start to finish. He floored Brennan
four times in the s&ond round, and
the Chicago man was saved from a
probable knockout by the bell. The
Califomian had a shift that Brennan
seemed unable to fathom. Dempsey
was equally clever with either hand,
and landed at will with lightning rap
idity, which seemed to mystify the
Chicagoan. Brennan succeeded in
avoiding the canvas in the third,
fourth and fifth sessions, but in the
sixth and final round Dempsey landed
a shower of lefts and rights to the
body and jaw. a stiff right to the chin,
causing Brennan to take nine of the
count. Brennan was game, but when
the referee saw his case was hopeless
and that Dempsey was on the verge
of landing a real knockout wallop to
his wobbling opponent, he stepped in
between the boxers and stopped the
contest. Brennan was saved by the
bell in the fourth round.

GYM LEAGUE
PUTS AGAIN
Sigma Chi and Delta Sigma
Teams are Winners in
Last Night's Games.
The games in the Gym league at
the university were resumed last
evening. In two well played games
the Sigma Chi team defeated the
Sayre Hall aggregation, and the Delta
Sigma team defeated the. Model High
School team by a score of 19 to 6.
Both games were hard fought and
very interesting. The play at times
was very clever and all four teams
showed flashes of real basketball abil
ity.
In the first game, the Sigma Chi
team took an early lead over their op
ponents and maintained it to the end.
The final score in this game was
Sigma Chi 14 and Sayre Hall 8. In
the first half the game was nearly

playing their opponents off their feet
while they held them to 2 points, pil
ing up 6 for themselves. The game
in the second half brought out the
best basketball of the game, the play
ers fighting harder. The Sigma Chi
te'am excelled in their team Work
and in their basket shooting. In the
latter department the Sayre Hall
team was particularly weak, missing
many an opportunity to score. Graves
and Griffith, at forwards for the Sig
ma Chi team, played in fine form,
and Movius at guard also played a
very good game, securing three bas
kets from this position, besides play
ing a strong defensive game. Witten
bach and Moore played well for the
Sayre team.
In the second game the undefeated
Delta Sigma team ran true to form,
and defeated the Model High team by
a score of 19 to 6. In the first half
of this game the play was nearly even,
but towards the close of the period
the Delta Sigs came through and fin
ished the half with a three-point lead.
The play in this period was marked
by close guarding by both teams.
With the start of the second half the
result of the game was soon apparent.
Starting with a rush, the Delta Sigs
soon secured a decided advantage and
were never threatened from this point
on. The Delta Si?ma team played in
their usual good form and look like
easy champions, as they are the only
undefeated team thus far. Walker,
at guard for the Delta Sigs, was in
fine form last' evening, and Hanson
at forward also performed in good
shape. For the Model High School,
Thorwaldsen and McKnight showed
up well. The lineups and summaries

NOT SPENDING ALL WAR MONEY.
A billion dollars is so much money,
apparently, that the cost of the war
to the United States since last June is
actually running far below the esti
mates. The total expenditures for the
seven months were $3,150,000,000. The
estimate for 12 months had been $12,
316.000,000. The expenditures for the
next five months, according to esti
mates, will be seven billion.

value today owing to the fact that

STOCK MARKET
IS DIMINISHED
Fractional Reactions After
First Advance is
Seen.
New York, Feb. 26.—Dealings In
the stock exchange today diminished
perceptibly after the first advance
with factional reactions in leaders
due in part 40 further pressure
against St. Paul and General Motors.
Later prices ranged higher than at
the outset, marked strength being
shown by Baldwin Locomotive, Tex
as company, Industrial alcohol, Su
matra tobaccoi hide and leather pre
ferred, beet sugar and Pittsburgh
coal. Minor specialties and low
priced equipments also* improved.
Liberty 3 l-2s sold at 97.94 to 98,'
first 4s at 97.30 and second 4s at
96.74 to 96.90.
Sumatra tobacco were the chief fea
tures at extreme advances of 3 1-2
3 3-4 points, respectively.
Special stocks, notably t^ose com
prising the war group, were 1 to 2
points higher at the opening of to
day's market, presumably in conse
quence of over night advices from
abroad. Shippings also were mate-,
rially better but rails made little re
sponse, St. Paul issues displaying
further heaviness. Much of the ear
ly trading owed its initiative to pools
arid short covering. Liberty bonds
were inactive but steady.
MINNEAPOLIS FLOUR.
Minneapolis, Minn., Feb. 26.—^
Flour unchanged. Shipments 30,52^
barrels.
Barley 1.72 to 2.02.
Kye 2.43 to 2.45.
Bran 32.50.
Hides, Pelts, Wool. Etc.
Owing to unfavorable report re
ceived that packers' selections of
heavy hides had declined from 3 to
4 cents per pound, we have to make
a further cut in hide prices as coun
try hide market is unsettled and tow
er. We cannot guarantee priccs
given herewith.
HIDES Market is still unsettled
and lower. Tanners refuse to buy
current receipt hides except at low
prices and we are forced to loiver our
PELTS: The market Is lower In
sympathy with the unsettled wool
situation and we find it advisable to
cut our prices 50c each on full wool
pelts.
TALLOW: The market rules firm,
although consumers are trying to
pound down prices but it seenis the
scarcity of fats will not admit of
much of a decline, If any.
RAW FURS: Prices have beeh
forced very high and a reaction has
already taken,place on some articles
and it is expected others will follow.
Muskrat, Weasel, Wolf and Mink are
still wanted. With warmer weather
fur bearing animals will start to shed
and lower values are bound to rule."
