Teams from Mankato, Faribault, Albert Lea, Austin, Luverne, Sleepy Eye, Lake Crystal,Hutchinson, St. Peter, Le Sueur,Glencoe and several others will be entered. A booster team captained by John Epple of St. George may enter the meet. New Ulm is expected to enter some fourteen teams.

Last Year’s Tournament.

Last year, it will be remembered the Faribault Oils from Faribault captured the five-men championship, at the tournament held in this city. Wagner and Anderson from Mankato won out in the doubles. Wm. A. Lindemann of this city annexed the single championship for the second consecutive year and Frank Tauscheck won the all-events prize.

Medals to Be Given.

Medals will be given to the winners in each event and an attractive prize list will be arranged.

Teams from all over this section of the state are expected to enter the tournament, for there is no place on the map, that bowlers like to visit better than New Ulm. Pin-shooters,who were present at the tournament held here last spring, stated that it was the best tournament they had ever entered. They were greatly pleased with the royal hospitality extended to them while in tho city.There is every expectation that the coming tournament will be bigger and better than the one last spring.

Dam Cannot Be Removed.

At the monthly meeting of the Springfield Booster club Deputy Game Warden Tom Mason of Sleepy Eye was present to inform the club members as to the status of the Cottonwood dam at the Bentzin mill,which Springfield sportsmen desire to have removed. Mr. Mason declared the dam was private property and that the game and fish department had no power to order it removed. The department had power, however, said Mr. Manson, to compel the owners to provide proper fishways. A fishway was put in several years ago, but is not in working order. Mr. Mason re-commended that it be left in its present status, because, carp from the Minnesota river would come up the Cottonwood, if the fishway was in proper condition. By a vote the club disagreed with Mr. Mason, and he was asked to have the fishway put in working order and to provide the necessary game fish fry to stock the stream.
