kEXXi trained muscles and mlnda
acting In unison are the results
of careful attention to the duties
yy" 1 that devolve upon a member of
li ii a turner socty, and. out of it
comes the physical development that Is
desirable In man and woman alike. It Is
not essential that the member become so
proficient that ha or she may go before the
public as an acrobat, but It is expected
that members of both sexes will be suffi
ciently assiduous and attentive at the drills
to get the benefit Intended. Germans and
Bohemians lead In this physical culture
work, which has long since pusned the fad
atage with them and become an actual con
dition of education, taken on as much as
a matter of course as is reading and writ
ing. The methods used are simple, the re
sults attained are certain and the benefits
are easily computed. As In other things,
the Interest In turning Is enhanced by a
comparison of ability, taking the form of
state and national competitions. Nebraska
Bohemians have long held high rank for.
athletic ability, having captured a number
of prises at national exhibitions, and once
had the honor of entertaining the turner
from all over the country. Recently the
Nebraska Bohemian turners met In Omaha
for state competition and for two days a
merry crowd of athletes was busy out at
the Vinton street ball park, engaged In
the various muscle stretching and nerve
trying feats that make up their routine.
Along with these were the simpler forms
of field athletics, and the time was ener
getically employed . In giving each of ths
126 athletes assembled an opportunity to
how what he or she could do. Olrls and.
boys who participated in this competition
showed a wonderful degree of proficiency
and the whole was voted a very successful,
affair, even though the general public did
not bestow on it the interest It seemed to
merit. 1
Last Sunday the Judges of the tourna
ment gave out the Hut of winners and con
gratulated the contestants on the excel ,
lence of the showing made In the competl-!
tion. No records were established, but thai
work demonntrated that the Bohemian ath- '
letes of the state have the rifibt (spirit la, j
their work. The cloving session was glvenl ..
over to social intercourse, the local turners
acting as hosts. j'
