College VIII Tackle bigger Boys on

College VIII Tackle Digger Boys on
the Diamond This season.
Success is a very inebriating beverage
but when received in proper quantities it
puts new courage into the breast Of the i'm
biber. 1t can not be denied that the
Creighton base ball team Of last year par
took Of a good quantity Of this invigorating
draugbt 1t lost but two games last year,
one TO the Omaha Western league team and
the other to Peru. This last game was
played under great difficulties, but was lost
only in the last inning
AS an effect Of Its great success last year
the team is now striving to break into
tester company. The usual trip over Ne
braska, which this team has been accus-
toned to make, will not be made this year
The Nebraska colleges with which 1t plays
will be met, for the most part, in Omaha
There will be a game with Bellevue here
May 4, and a return game at Bellevue May
%. A game Is also scheduled with DOane
for Omaha. Creighton did not play Doane
last year as Doane had no team, however
the blue and white boys put both games Of
the season onto Bellevue.
The team Is arranging for an eastern and
northern trip. The games are not yet all
secured, but the trip is almost determined
upon. This will be the first trip east for
a Creighton team, but their work of last
year warrants the new venture. The best
college teams in the northwest will DO met
on this trip.
There probably will be no game with Col
orado, for that team can not get into this
territory. The disappointment which this
news brought to Creighton is, however,
quite overbalanced by the good news that
Missouri will visit Creighton IN the latter
part of May. Manager OTMalley is holding
date for them. but can not say as yet
the exact time OF the game. He also states
that he has several dates open yet, but
communications have not yet been received
from a great many colleges with which
negotiations were opened.
