The Park.

The new base ball park is 4S0 feet
by 440 feet, and is as level as a floor
and of porous soil. The plate of the
diamond is seventy feet from the cen.
ter of the grand stand. The latter
holds 700 people comfortably, and the
bleachers 300, while there is plenty OF
standing room. There is also room
for 100 teams, to the left.
Under the bleachers is dressing
room for the ball players, and place
will be provided for bicycles.
There is not a finer ball park any
where. The accompanying illustra-
tion gives a good view of it, the point
of view being from the bluffs beyond.
The regular price of admittance
will be 25 cents for adults, 10 cents
for ladies, and Is cents extra for the
grand stand. Single vehicles will be
Is cents, and double vehicles 25 cents.
These rates will apply for all games

The Players.

The Mankato Base Ball Association
has brought together at large expense
and at regular salaries a team of
which it has every reason to be
proud, and one which is bound to ad-
vertise Mankato in the Northwest
during the present year more than
any one thing. All of the members
of the team are experienced
players, many have played in league
teams, and they are a gentlemenly,
good natured set of young men,
when it is a pleasure to know. They
are boarding at the Union Hotel for
the season.
Captain j. A. Messerly comes from
Sioux City, and has played ball 81 nc

years. Last year he oplayed with the
ST. Paul league team until he was
taken sick in June. Then he was
loaned to the Dubuque team by Man
ager Comiskey, but his illness increas-

came to Mankato, and has been cap

was pitcher and first base for the
Sioux City team, but strained his
shoulder at Scotland, S. D., in the fall
of 1894, while pitching three straight
games in cold weather. He will play
first base this season. He is a num-
Der one player, and knows base ball

Harry Howe, who comes from Min

pitched for the Minneapolis city
league team for two or three sears.
He made good record here last
year, and will pitch again this year.
He is troubled with a sore arm at
present. Last fall he signed a con-
tract with the local team, but was

Yesterdays Game.

The practice game yesterday after
noon was too one-sided to be highly
interesting. The Maroons won by a
score of twenty to one, and the play
ing was not what it will be when
practiced teams are met. Some of the
members are sore from practice in
cold weather, and it will be some
time before they appear at their best
again. Herbert Snow umpired the
game. The admission was free. and
every available space was crowded.

here to live up to his contract.
Burt Partridge, of Vermillion, S. D.,

G. L. Nickson's home is Prairie
City, Iowo, and has played in Iowa for
several years. He wrenched his
shoulder on left field yesterday and
is disabled temporarily. He will
pitch and has good curved balls.
Chas. Phillips, of Ashton, S. D., has
played for several years, in South
Dakota, where his reputation as ball
player is good. He is an excellent
pitcher, and while trifle sore yet he
will soon work that out.

will catch. He has played ball long
enough to be called "grand pa", hav-
| ing seen service for number of years
| in Illinois. In 1893 and 1894 he play
ed with the Colorado state league.
Last year he started in with the Du-
buque league team, but came to Man
kato with Mr.. Messerly. He is a good,
heady player.
John Often, from Chicago, will also
catch. He played at Chicago for a
number of years with "The Rivals, a
city league team. He has caught for
great pitchers in his time. including
Getzein, the Detroit penant winner.
Capt. Messerly met him at LIE Mars,

M. j. Maryott. of Cozad, Neb., will
play second base. He has played
several years in Nebraska, and was

Mr.. Ogle is a son of the late Rev
Mr.. Ogle, who was pastor of the NJ
E.. church in this city for several
years. He was supposed to have had
prosperous business of late. His
friends have been legion, and his
present move will astonish all as much
as it will fill them with sorrow. The
circumstances look dark for him, and
until they are satisfactorily explain
ed, the general verdict will be against
him. Those who know the circum
stances seem to be confident that he
will not return.
The sympathies of the community
will go out to Mrs. Ogle in this trying
hour. She is lady of refinement anG
culture and has the reputation of be-

son five years old, and in him she car
