The best football men, the best

healthful recreation. Year after year
this has become more and mere the case,
until Minneapolis has become the
RECOGNIZED SPORTING CENTER
of the great Northwest. The impor-
tance of the city in the sporting world
will be vastly increased when the cen
trally located athletic park is finished
and thrown open to the public. rms
park, located in the very heart OF the
city. and easily accessible from every
quarter of the town, is to have large
and conveniently and comfortably
arranged seating capacity, ana the
grounds are being graded an rOllec to
thot
almost induce Aid. Loye to rush out
and play ball. A bicycle track will be
arranged in the park. tennis courts will
be laid out. and the management will
use every endeavor to have as MANY
square. honorable ana attractive sport
ing events as can be secured take place
there during the season. Amateur
athletics of all kinds will be Doomed
and encouraged in every possible way,
and it is in this park that most of the
interesting exhibitions Of the season
will be given.
THE ATHLETIC SPORTS.
Among those who have already spoken
TO Manager Morton about securing the
grounds are the cricketerS, the cyclists,
lacrosse cranks. the Thistle Foot Ball
team. the tennis players and the Gale
DOMAIN club, which intends to hold its
annual games there. They will have
periodical field days and several amateur
ball teams will use the grounds. All
these things, with the regular games of
fhe Minneapolis ball team. will leave
very few open dates. and these will I'M
doubtedy be filed with various minor
events that cannot be calculated Oh in
advance.
THE BASE BALL GAMES.
About the middle of this month the
Minneapolis ball team will arrive home
from the first trip of the season, and
will play bali OH the home grounds
most of the time until the middle of
June, then away again until the Sd of
July. when Minneapolis ana st. Paul
will cross bats on the home grounds in
the first of three-game series, the
other two games to he played on the
glorious Fourth. Manager MOrton's
babes will be home once more
in the latter part of July and early in
August then away again till the oath OF
August when they arrive here to play
ST. Paul and Dies Moines, then off on
another tour to return here in the mid
die of September. and play out the re-
mainder Of their schedule on their home
grounds. With the excellent field team
that Minneapolis has. and the bracing
It is now getting in the battery points,
it certainly would seem that no club in
the Western Association has any better
chance then the Millers to pull
DOWN THE PENNANT
when the season closes, and even if the
boys don't win the cloth they will un-
doubtedly furnish amusement for
huge crowds, every time they play,
rs the central location of the
srouuds and the good ball game
which the aggregation is bound to put
up guarantee crowded benches in adj
vance. No effort will be spared to
make the team and the management of
the games all that could be desirable.
1t will be the aim of the management
to have the very best people know that
they can 90 to the new athletic park
and see the very highest grade of
athletic games and sports, conducted in
a thoroughly conscientious and straight
forward manner, and without any OBJ
jectionable feature OF persons.
