A bunch of ball fans from the
Clearwater metropolis, Kooskia, will
be taken on today and the boys
given little practice for the first
league game of the season, Cotton
wood VS. Grangeville, which is schedul-
ed for Sunday afternoon. For years
Cottonwood has maintained among
the best ball teams on the Prairie and
it is said this year is no exception, in
fact the Cottonwood boys are coming

some Grangeville scalps. The game
promises to be fast one.
