Marshalltown will be a ball town

Marshalltown will be a ball town

ing very hard at the game for several
years, but the siumbers of many years
in the city who started Arson on his
career, played with him in 'Anson's
pasture or any old available vacant
lot. will be taken back to the scenes of
their youth, and will witness tomorrow
an aggregation Of the best ball talent Of
the country in an exhibition of the ma
tional game as it should be played.
/ Marshalltown has been asleep in a
base ball way for some time. 1t was
too good a ball town in it's earlier days
to take a second place, and naturally
the interest waned. There isn't one of
the twenty-eight men of national repu-
tation on the diamond who will be here
tomorrow but What has heard of Mar
shalltown. They know but very little
about the city. however, their know
ledge being confined to the fact that it
is Pop Anson's old home Mr.. ONeill
said this morning, upon his arrival
here, that all of the men We're anxious
to get to Marshalltown, see where An
son used to live, and shake hands with
his venerable father, Hon. Henry An
son, who is still resident of the city
he founded and in which his base ball
son first saw the light Of day as the
first white child born here.
Mr.. Louis Tate, who is responsible
for securing the two league teams for
the game Friday, had a double purpose
in view when arrangements We're first
negotiated. Tate is base ball crank,
and loves the game for it's sport. He
felt that in securing the two big teams
for game here perhaps enough en-
thusiasm could be aroused so that next
spring a league team could be launched
here and series of games enjoyed dur
ing the season Of 1903. All that it will
take is a little nerve on the part of a
few and the loyal support of many 9th
ers who, while they would not be inter-
ested financially, could lend their sup
port by evincins, enough interest to at
tend the games.
There have been few changes made
in the teams Of tomorrow since the
first announcement was made. William
Bradley, of the Cleveland team, who
was to play third base for the Ameri-
cans, was called to Cleveland last Fri
day on account of the death of
brother, and will not be here. In his
place will be substituted Billy Cough
Ian, of the Senators. who is expected
Ito join the aggregation here tomorrow
morning.
The schedule has also been altered
somewhat and instead of coming here
from Peoria. as announced before. the
clubs will arrive from Waterloo, where
they met today. Cedar Rapids was
played yesterday, the score resulting
in a victory for the National team by
a score of to 4.

ably be in the box during part of
the game. at least, is the champion
tWirler of the country, and Billie Keller.
