New Ulm Skat Tournament Draws Wide Southern Minnesota Crowd
The mid-summer State Skat League tournament at Turner Hall drew nearly two hundred players from St. Paul, Minneapolis, New Ulm, and towns like Ivanhoe, Mankato, Fairmont, Belle Plaine, Jordan, Gibbon, and Winthrop. Frank Jungbauer of St. Paul won the $75 top prize, with Otto Reisner second, and local clubs earned several awards across five groups. A train cancellation by the M and St. L caused ill will among Twin City players, but New Ulm provided transport and the club reports a profitable event and hopes for next year.
