tLkS Team TO PLAY With
The DULUTH ALL STARS"
Challenge Received From Newt.
Randall's Bunch for Three
Games Here.
OFFER UNDER CONSIDERATION

team, which is running the Hibernians
close chase for the leadership of the
, Fraternal league, has received a chal-
longe from the Duluth "All STAR team.
OF which Newt Randall. formerly an
outfielder in the Hancock professional
baseball team, is captain, for a series
of three games to be played sometime
during the month of February in Han
cock.
The matter is now under considera-
iton and If ii can be arranged the Du-
luth team will be brought here for the
series. The cost is considerable how
ever, and the EIks hardly feel that
they will be able to handle the propo-
sition alone. 1t is suggested, however.
that games be arranged with the Hi
bernians, the Elks and the Calumet
Y. Nj. c. A. teams, so that the burden
OF expense may be distributed among
the three. An admission of fifty cents
Is proposed and in this way II is
thought that the local teams can break
even on the expense of bringing the
Duluth team here for the series.
The Elks through Ira Wight, had
some time ago written to Newt RAN
dali, who is n cousin of Mr.. Wight,
seeking to have a game at Duluth. The
letter was turned over in the absence
of Mr.. Randall to Frank A. Weggman,
the acting manager of the Duluth
team, who writes to Mr.. Wight that
1t would be hard matter to pull off n
game in Duluth, for the reason that
the sport there has reached a low ebb
on account of lack of patronage. but
if two or three games can be arranged
here they will be tickled to make the
trip. All the Duluth boys want is
their expenses, and Mr.. Weggman
states "if we come it will be to do you
right" The understanding is to be that
none but Elks who have ridden the
goat shall be permitted to play. 1t is
left to the Hancock team to make
dates, and the Duluth lineup will be
mailed when notice of the same is sent
them, Randall will be i'm the game. as
he will have returned home by the
time the team is ready to come here.
The Elks team has it's hands full just
at present with prospective matches,
one being with the Calumet Y. NJ. c. A.
team i'm Germania hall on Thursday
evening Feb. 10. Another hard game
is that planned for Saturday evening,
| Feb. 10, i'm the Calumet Y. NJ. c.. A.
gymnasium. The Calumet team is
strong one and the Elks will have a
good fight on their hands to defeat
them. Consequently the Elks players
are working hard to get themselves in
good shape for the matches.
on Thursday evening next the Elks
will meet the Houghton Light Infantry
at the Amphidrome in an exhibition
contest, arrangements for which have
been under consideration for a long
! time past The Elks and the Hibern-
ians are scheduled for game in Ger
mania hall on Tuesday evening, Feb.
s, and the two teams being the league
leaders, one of the best games of the
season is anticipated. Nothing definite
has yet developed i'm regard to a game
| between the Hibernians and the Man
istique team. but it is hoped later on
to bring the Manistiques north to play
against the Negaunees. the Hibernians
and the Calumet Y. NJ. c. AS. Be-
sides these prospective matches are
the games arranged between the Hiber-
mans and the South Range and Hub
bell Eagles teams the latter part of
the present month.
The game scheduled for this evening
will be between the Foresters and Hi
bernians, and on Friday night the mill
| tia and the Foresters will meet.
Butch" Stack, the Hibernians' catch
err, is expected home today and will be
in the game again soon i'm his old time
form, after having taken a course of
treatment at Mt. Clemens for rheuma-
tism from which he has entirely recov-
cred.
John Reyes of the Hibernian Ath-
letic club has written to the Duluth |
"All Stars" for a game, but the Elks
have the first "opton" on them and 1t
is not probable that the Hibernians'
offer will be taken up until the "All
stars" challenge of the Elks has been
disposed Of. rIsll
Both Teams to Negaunee.
After several changes of plans II
was finally settled this morning that
the Elks, as well as the Hbernians,
will go to the iron country after all,
for games with the Ishpeming and Ne
gaunee teams, and the original plan
first considered will be followed The
EIks and the Hibernians of this city
will leave here Friday morning and on
Friday night the Elks will play at lsh-
peming while tie Hibernians meet the
Negaunee team ut the Negaunee rink
the same evening. on Saturday night
the Elks play at Negaunee and the
Hibernians will meet the Ishpeming
team.
