Langdon's junior baseball team, better
known as the "kid nine" worked up quite
q reputation last summer winning games
from boys of their size in a dozen different
towns around the north end of the state.
1t is disappointing to learn that there is
little probability of their being in the
field at all this season.
Langdon and Milton were both repre-
sented at the meeting held at the Forks
last Saturday for the purpose of forming
state league. AS far as Cavalier county
is concerned the outlook for the national
game is the best over this year. There is
considerable talk of Hannah organizing
crack team, giving the county three
teams to send out against al! Corners.
Base ball talk is quite loud in many
North Dakota towns this spring, but
when the enthusiasm takes the tangible
form of $1,000, same as it did in Langdon,
its likely there will be some playing
moneys what talks-the boys can't play
ball on wind, which is only another name
very often used in the place of ''talk."
We may not have a team of pennant
winners this year, but will try it "a whirl.
