Home and Abroad

1t is fully expected that within q
week the Mitchell ball team will be on
the ground ready TO commence team
work for the season. Messrs. Sneller
and Nichols have been rustling q good
deal for games and have been success
full in securing quite q number OF
games with waioh to fill up the season.
In conversation with Manager Suel-
ler he stated that he had practically
selected his team with the possible ad-
dition of one or two more men. He has
three good pitchers who will do their
turn in the box and field other posi-
tions. The pitchers are Foley and
Owens OF ST. Paul and Wisebecker, of
Lacrosse, Wis. These three men are
said to be equal to any thing in the state
and have good records in the past sea-
son with which to assure that they can
pitch winning bail. Hart and Peterson
| o. ST. Paul and Lacrosse, will do the
catching and play shortstop, taking
their turn behind the bat. Clark of
Saltwater, will play second bag, and it is
probable that one of the pitchers will
hold down the initial sack and the
other will 90 to the field. Coglizer and
Tucker, of ST. Paul, will fill the other
places in the field. Dunn, of Weeping
Water, Neb., has agreed to join the
team and play either second or third
base. 1t is evident that little conf
dence can be placed in him, for Sioux
Falls claims to have contract with
him, also Flandreau, and it is further
understood that he is now in Indiana
trying to get on ono of the league
teams. If Dunn fails to show up anotn
er man has been secured to take his
place. Secretary Nichols says that he
has already secured eighteen games as
starter to fill up the season. The
home people will not have a chance
to see the Mitchell club play here, how
ever, until the latter part of May, ar
rangements having been made for two
series of games before appearing on the
home diamond.
The first game on the sschedule
that Mitchell has ia with Sioux
Falls, when the two teams will play at
Geddes on Sunday, May 10, at the time
the Milwaukee road runs an excursion
to that place.
Mitchell plays Aberdeen at that
place on May %, "a, 25, and the two
teams go to Everts and play for the
Milwaukee excursion on Sunday, May
rs. The two teams will come to Mitch
ell for series of games onsMay q, %,
20. This will make several games for
the two clubs at the start of the season.
On June 4, 5, 6, Mitchell will meet
Sioux Falls on the latter's ground. On
June 16 Mitchell and Sioux Falls will
meet in contest at Sioux City for the
Milwaukee excursion, playing at Wood
lawn.
The Mitchell team will remain at
Sioux City for series of three games
with the Riversides on June, II, is, 49,
On June 20, 81, % Sioux Falls will
come to Mitchell for series of three
games.
These are all the games that have
been arranged for so far, but there are
plenty more on the list, as games viii
be made with Madison, Flandreau, and
Sioux City, also two other teams ir
Iowa. Accordinging to the informa
tion there will be no trouble to secure
all the games necessary this season
for there are to be some good clubs ir
the state this year.
