yesterday, and 1t was decided to get
together at once on the proposition.

found practice work rather hard.
Batting, fielding and base running
was the work gone through. On base
running, a feature fer which the team
was noted last year, rather poor
showing was made yesterday. The
batting department is being worked
up pretty good. while the men are also
doing some good fielding.
The regular team lined up against
the Props for game late in the after
noon. and some good practice was
secured in that manner.
1t Is announced that the game with
the Crookston high school will not be
played tomorrow. The Crookston
team, SO Manager Stevens says, has
not had much practice as yet, and they
prefer to see 1t postponed for time.
