FOR MITCHELL
The Town is Given an Opportunity t
Join a League That is to Be
Organized.

1t has been several years since a
professional baseball team has had a
chance to operate in Mitchell, but
the opportunity is now offered
through a communication from w.
II. Blaine, of Aberdeen, who is be-
hind a movement to organize an
eight-club league i'm the state, and
who said he considered Mitchell as
one of the best towns in the state
and that she ought to be represented.
+. Blaine laid his plan before b..
M. Johnston, who says he is out Of
the baseball business and is willing
to turn the matter over to any other
parties in the city who want to try
and make the thing a go.
Mr.. Blaine states that it is ex-
pected each town will raise from
81, 500 to So, 900 to support a team,
which money will be used in securing
grounds. players and a franchise.
and also as a guarantee that the
league will be formed. 1t is ex-
pected that about 81 games will be
played during the season, ~ Of
which will be played on the home
grounds. Watertown and Bookings
are actively engaged 10 completing
their teams, Watertown having
signed all OF its men. All clubs i'm
the league are to he limited as to
salary, which would prevent one
club from attempting to secure
stronger men than possessed by the
other teams
Mitchell's experience with profess
s'onal baseball several years ago was
not sufficiently agreeable or profitable
to encourage organizing a team of
salaried playrs.

If Count Can Get $4,000 Per Week He
Is Willing to Go on the STAGE.


New York, Nov. 30.-If Count Boni
de Castellane can get $4,000 week
he is willing to go on the stage, 1t is
believed, and an offer Of his services
has been made to Lew Fields. The
offer came through H. B. Marinelli,
the vaudeville agent, who has offices
in this city, London and Paris.
Mr. Masse, the American manager
for Mr.. Marinelli, sails today on the
La Provence for Paris to thoroughly
inquire into the matter.
Here is an excerp from the letter
from Mr. Marinelli to Mr.. Fields con-
cerning the former husband of Anna
Gould
Count Boni is not adverse to earn
ing his living through dramatic art,
but for reasons Of soc1cl fitness will
not accept any of the numerous Of
fers submitted to him by European
managers. The negotiations led, how
ever, to the consideration of an Ameri-
can appearance and was advised to
canvass the field for a suitable part.
Count Boni does not desire a vau-
deville appearance, preferring a role
that will allow of his being an artist
rather than an attraction"
