A. C. BASEBALL
PROSPECTS GOOD
STAR ARTIST OF MOUND AND
MAINsTAY OF LAST YEARS
NINE HAS ENTERED SCHOOL
AND is ELIGIBLE TO PLAY DUR
ING THE COMING SEASON.

Baseball stock at the A. C. took a
raise when Claude Baker, the main
stay of last years pitching staff, reg
istered a week ago "Bake's" ability
as a twirler is well known in the city
and in this section Of the state. He
is now taking a course in engineer
ing at the A, c. and states that he
never was in better condition than he
will be for the coming season.
Coach Reuben is fortunate in not
losing man from vast years cham
pionship team. The team had a Won
derful record, not losing a game in the
state in the entire season and condi-
lions SO far point toward even a great
er record. Reuben is enthusiastic over
the prospects for the coming season
and is making plans to broaden his
territory and capture the champion
ship of the three states, North .Da-
kota, South Dakota and Minnesota.
Captain Foss, without a doubt the best
backstop in the state, is also enthu-
siastic and states that he can see no
reason why the A. G. will not have the
ia stest team in its history.
Ernest Cave, last years quarter back,
who was called home before Christmas
on account of his fathers illness, will
probably be back to resume his course
in pharmacy. Cave is a south-paw
and it is rumored that as a slab artist
he Is all to the good.
Spring practice will begin the first
week in March. The ends Of the armory
have been boarded and batting prac-
tice will begin as soon as the basket
ball season draws to a close.

INDOOR GAMES
PLAYED TONIGHT
THREE GAMES IN THE INTERDE-
NoMlNATIoNAL INDOOR BASE
BALL LEAGUE WILL BE PLAYED
ToNIGHT-soME EXCITING CON-
( TESTS EXPECTED.

Tonight there will be three indoor
baseball games played at the Y. M. c.
A. gymnasium. All the games will be
those of the Interdenominational In
door baseball league, which have been
postponed during the week because of
the revival meetings that have been in
progress.
The first game will be between the
Baptists and the Y M. c. A. team.
The churchmen are evenly balanced in
the percentage column and the assoc
iation players are the present leaders
of the league. With the star pitcher of
the Baptists out of the city, the Peter
son bunch will be materially handi-
capped, but their fighting qualities are
the best and the "Y." players will have
one of the most hotly contested games
this season.
The middle contest will be the First
Methodists VS.. the Christians and the
scrapping ability of the Christians
has more than once placed them ahead
of the game. Captain Chapman of the
Methodists is reported to have CLEANED
some of the minor leagues and from all
reports he will have some new blood in
the lineup of the Wesley followers to-
night
Captain McNair Of the Presby
terrain team is looking for a victory
over the Broadway Methodists in the
last game of the evening. The two
northside churches viii undoubtedly
put up a good game, but the work of
the Adams nine is considered by some
to be superior to that Of Sewrey's
players, and for this reason the dope
favors the Presbyterians, although the
Broadway Methodists are not to be
dealt with in any light handed fashion.
The first game will be started at
z o'clock, the hour being given early
so that all of the contests can be finish
ed in a reasonable length of time.
The games will be for FIVE innings each.

THE COMMERCIAL
LEAGUE GAMES
THE FORUM TEAM RUNS AWAY
WITH THE COAL WAGON OF THE
INTERSTATE LUMBER co.-THE
MUTUAL AND KEY CITY TEAMS
HAVE A HOT CONTEST.

The second night Of the Commercial
basketball league last night proved to
be most interesting for the small
crowd that greeted the eleven artists
on their appearance last night. Trio
games were played and one was for
feited.
The opening game was a walk away
for the newspaper representatives.
The Forum team simply ran away with
the Interior Lumber Co. five and car
ried off the honors of the contest by a
score Of 43 to II.
From the start Cruikshank and Hol-
ger, the advance men of The Forum
quintet, made the chains give up a con-
tinuous rattle and the way the pin
dropped into the iron ring would have
made the most sensitive critic sit up
and take notice. DeLong, Brown,
Reese and Glads worked with the two
forwards to a perfection and the print
shops were always in the lead, because
Of thir systematic team work The
Interiors had no particular star and
played loosely, not being able to hold
the ball readily.
The second game Of the evening was
between the Key City team and the
Mutual team. This contest was fight
from start to finish and it was marked
by close guarding. The first half end
ed to 4 in favor of the Mutuals, but
the Key City team never gave up for
moment and came back hard in the
second half and pulled victory out by
a big score, winning the contest by a
score of Is to 3.
