LUTHER COLLEGE.
ON our regular correspondent

From our regular correspondent
April 81, 1902.
A special street band has been ar
ranged to play down town for the base
ball games. 1t is only about half the
size of the Musical Union band, and
thus it will be better able to keep
time, while playing on the march.
Much time and labor has been spent
in collecting and arranging the num-
berless relics contained in the
museum, and now everything presents
neat appearance. 1t is open every
Sunday, and everybody is welcome to
look it over.
We are glad to know that our base
ball team has the support and good
will of the citizens of DEBORAH. AS
proof of this, we may mention that
DR. Conover has given the team rub
Der home plate. 1t is very highly
priced by the boys, and it is their
intention to do their very best in keep
ing visiting teams from crossing it.
The University of Nebraska will be
represented on the College diamond
Thursday, April "a. This is the first
time in the history of Luther College,
that we have had the honor of cross
ing bats with representatives from the
highest institution of learning in the
state. Their team this year is said
to be superior to any previous team,
and it will give us clever exhibition
of western base ball
The new boarding club officers have
now taken charge of the work intrust-
ed them. Henry Saxvick has the man
agement and being faithful worker
will ever look after the interests of
the club. Emil Hanson will for the
coming year fill the position held by
HI. 0. Sauer, as buyer Mr.. Hanson
is a competent man, and the club con-
siders itself very fortunate in secur-
ing his able services. 7. A. Hoff has
again been elected to the more pleas
ant, but responsible position of car
ing for the money He is thorough
business man, and has for the last year
acquitted himself with great credit.
The game played today was witness
sed by large crowd, which seemed to
be very interested, and justly SO, be-
cause it was close game from begin
ming to end Three scores were made
by both teams in about the middle of
the game, and there it stood till the
ninth inning, when u. !. u. succeed
ed in running in another score, max
ing it to 8. All our players gave
signs of great ability, but Grangaard's
catching and Smeby's pitching are
well worthy of special mention.
