The Jacksonvilles three-two singles
and triple, and OF this number
f3urks made total of six hits. And
now word about the schedule.
From almost every town in the associa-
ton comes howl because the dates
were not arranged as each town had
hoped. A careful study of the original
copy of the schedule, as prepared by
the committee last Saturday, fails to
show any conflicting dates, or any dates
so close together as to make 1t lmp0SSl-
BILE for the clubs to make the various
cities to which they are scheduled. 1t
is true that the games are punched
somewhat, and that in making long
jumps the mileage will run up to con-
siderable amount. 1t is a big job to
make a schedule, and all these points
were duly con sidered by the committee.
The matter of mileage need not set any
individual town crazy, for that was
provided for in resolution to pro-rate
the mileage expenses among the clubs
of the ASSOCIATION. In that way no club
can suffer more than the others. AS to
the punched games, Sioux City is worse
off than any of the others, getting twen-
ty-one games at home, beginning early
in July, but she is not kicking Oh that.
In fact, talk with the officers of the
local association shows that the Corn
Palace city has no kick to register
against the schedule as adopted. Omaha
proposed that Sioux City play at that
place on the 4th of July and take half of
the gate and grand stand receipts. That
was good enough offer and was
snapped up at once. During the past
week an Omaha paper has complained
because the holiday had to be wasted
on Sioux City instead of a ''crack' club.

hold the Corn Huskers level. without
signing for any greater worlds to con-
quer. 1t is calculated that with good
day the Fourth of July game will net
Sioux City $1,000 at least. A game is
scheduled here on Decoration day. and
it is probable that an additional exhibit
ton game will be played on the same
| date. A cleanup of $500 is expected
with a fair day. These two dates. if
expectations are realized, will put the
| expense account in good shape, and no
one has an idea that one of the twenty
| one punched games will be a loser, finan-
| cially, for the home team. These are a
few of the reasons why Sioux City is

other meeting may be called and a new
schedule arranged, but if we get as
good showing as the present schedule
| gives US, no one will complain.
OTHER SPORTS.
A boat club has been incorporated,
| and is building a $4,000 boat house at
Riverside park, on the Big Sioux river.
The place is reached every half hour

A local base ball league has been Or

There is talk of organizing base ball
league in South Dakota, several towns
