A dispatch to the Minneapoli:
Journal from WATERFOWL says thai
the fans Of that city will again place g
base ball team in the field the coming
season. We sincerely hope for the
Watertown fans, that it will not be q
joke team like the Watertown team o.
last year. The dispatch goes on tc
say that the Watertown people viii,
form a circuit of the teams Of eastern
South Dakota and Western Minnesota,
Games could be played all around the
circuit and outside teams could be
brought in to play the circuit teams.
The circuit idea savors a little too
much OF bush league base ball, and
the Watertown people will hardly
make . 60 OF it. The only way to
make base ball pay out in q small town
is to have a strong independent team
