BASEBALL FOR
CAPITAL CITY

Bismarck, N. D., April 29.--There was
a meeting of the Bismarck Baseball as
ISOLATION OF the sixty three mile league
at the commercial club Wednesday
evening at o'clock and many mat
ters pertaining to the success Of the
local aggregation this season were
taken under consideration and freely
discussed.
1t had been the purpose of his
meeting to let the contract for the
erection of the grand stand and the
fence at this time, but there were some
of the bids which had not yet been
received and action was deferred on
this matter until the next meeting of
the fans. Col. b. G. Little has granted
the association the use of the diamond
in the east end Of the city and II is
the intention OF the management not
to overlook anything which will add to
the comfort of the patrons OF the
games. During the discussion Of the
erection OF the grand stand on the
northwest corner the diamond instead
OF the southwest corner came up and
1t may be possible that this will be
the new arrangement Of the grounds
The business men Of the city re-
sponded literally to the subscription
list now that good ball team has
been assured and with this support IL
is confidently expected that the capital
city will be well represented on the
diamond this summer. The list will
be circulated several days and it is
stated that every aspirant for the team
is digging down into his own pocket
for az or &l0 IN halr +ba ton..-
along. This shows the spirit that pre-
dominates among the players them
selves, and is evidence enough that
there is deep interest taken to secure
q good team. The first game of the
season will be played at New Salem
May IA, and the first game on the local
diamond is scheduled for May ri.
when New Salem will play here.

&. PLAYERS WON
VOLLEYBALL GAME
VISITORS TAKE scALPs OF THE
LOCAL BUSINESS MEMS VOL.
LEY BALL TEAM BY WINNING
THREE GAMES OUT or FIVE IN
CONTEST.

Experience on the part of the Wis
itors proved too much for the local
Hobble Skirts volleyball team last
night when they went down in defeat
before the business mems team of
Grand Forks in three best out of Ave
bouts. The game was played at the
Fargo Y. M. c. A. gymnasium and an
enthusiastic crowd witnessed the
contest.
The visitors played excellent ball.
Their experience in the game benefited
them at every stage of the contest.
Their serves were new to the locals
and the team work displayed by the
university town batters was the best
that has ever been produced on the
local floor at any time.
Fargo played well but the local men
were seemingly in hard luck, not being
able to handle the ball with their
usual agility. They worked hard and
at times their spurts of fast and bril-
liant playing was very good.
The lineup of the teams was as fol-
lows
Fargo-Captain j. Baker, S. D.
Adams, John Frame, Tad Foster,
Ralph Baird. Charles Page and Shorty
McNair.
Grand Forks - Swanson, Graves,
Stebbins, Mccoy, H. Wilson and F. M.
Wilson.
The summary of the games was:
First game-Grand Forks 81; Fargo
IA.
Second game-Grand Forks 81;
Fargo 13.
Third game-Grand Forks ID; Fargo
21.
Fourth game-Grand Forks Il; Far
go 81.
Fifth game-Grand Forks 81; Fargo
4.
Following the game the resident
members Of the Y. M. c. A. served a
lunch to the two competing teams and
a number OF the enthusiasts of the
game. The Grand Forks players re-
turned home this morning
A peculiar incident developed in the
game. Two of the members of the
competing teams were playing against
one another seventeen years ago. Tad
Foster of Fargo and Harry L. Wilson
of Grand Forks were members of the
first Basketball teams in North Dakota
and played against one another IN the
early days.
