Base Ball in Cresco.

Lovers of the national game will
have an excellent opportunity to salts
fy their taste during the coming season,
for arrangements are being made to
have a good for Cresco this year, one
even better than last seasons team.
Cresco is assured of the presence Of
its famous last years battery. Scheutz
was farmed out by Peoria to the Eas-
tern Illinois League, but this was not
to his liking and on Tuesday he wired
his acceptance of Cresco's offer. Chap
man, the catcher has also accepted
Cresco's offer and both he and Scheutz
will report here about May 18th. An
other crack player engaged is Jack
Sanders, at present playing with one
of the Oklahoma State League teams.
He will alternate as. pitcher and short
stop for Cresco.
Will Glass and Teddy Mellang will
be two of Cresco's fielders and Elmer
Davis will probably have his old posit-
ion again this season in part of the
games at least. The balance of the
team will be made up of fast college
players.
The season will open about June 1st,
although one or two games may be
played a trifle earlier. Last years
grounds will be used again this year,
and considerable improvements will be
made on them, particularly fence
which will cause the tight wads" to
loosen up if they would see the game.
Already several games with No.
teams are arranged for, including the
Colored Gophers, the Mason City and
Charles City teams and some of the
good amatuer teams from the cities.
