FAT men TO PLAY BALL.
Mine is Billy Bounce Team to
Wipe the Earth With the Fat.
ty Felix's of Willist0n...List
of the Minot Men Who Will
Play.

Mayor Greenleaf will take an
aggregation OF Minot's big fel-
lows to Williston a week from
Sunday to play the giants from
that city and a week later if
they are able, a return game will
be played in Minot. The money
to be derived from the two games
will be equally divided and will
be used towards starting libra
ries in Williston and Minot. You
can see A. w. Tracy, the land
man, out training every even
ing, getting ready for the event.
BY the way, Tracy is an old
league player and will show tie
younger generation q few tricks
that they little dream of.
J. E. Smith, another old time
base ball player, will also play.
J. f. is taking a course Of train
ing from a stranger with a view
OF reducing his avoirdupois and
hardening his already iron mus
Gle. Judge Davis is also in train
ing for the games. "Jim"
DWyer, the popular government
1 land office INSPECTOR, will also
eplay with the Minot boys. Jim,
not so many years ago, played
with the Chicago league teams
and has not forgotten the art.
K E. Leighton, Greenleat's part
ner, used to travel all over the
state of Iowa with the crack oall
teams, pitching and altho he's a
lit e out Of practice. he still
makes 'em all go some.
Geo. McGee, the states attor-
ney, will no doubt catch for the
Minot boys. He's an old college
ball player and tho he's gained
many pounos of flesh in the brac
ing air OF North Dakota, he can
still stop balls. Ira Stoddard,
an old time baseball player, will
no doubt pitch for the home
team. Ira has been throwing
base balls and nigger heads on
his farm this summer and his
muscle is in fine trim. The edit.
or OF the Independent has been
asked to stand in the field and
stop the balls. According to the
Reporter, he's the most wonder
full acrobat in modern times and
ought to draw crowd himself.

work.
