boys receive right treatment a victory Will not

The Lauritzens will again travel to Young
America today and this afternoon will play
the second game Of the season with the Young

only few Of his regular team on the heid' ana
among the missing were Dell and Grady, his
pitcher and catcher respectively. This game to-
day will decide which team is the strongest and
will help to compare the Minneapolis boys with
some of the surrounding teams that have met
the Young Americas. The Lauritzen team has
played more out-of- town games than most OF the
Minneapolis teams and they have been defeated
only few times. F1avn is the mainstay of
the team, and he is better than a great many
pitchers that in professional company.
Frank Mullane, who few years ago caught
for the Minneapolis team, has been signed to
play first base for the Young America team,
and will play his first game with them today.
The team will be greatly streng thened by the ad

securing his services. Frank has had many
opportunities to play league ball, but as he
holds a responsible position in the Chamber OF
Commerce, which he does not wish to quit has
refused all offers. Another valuable that
has signed recently is selvus, who played sec
