Babe Edlich, the largest man IN

made a big hit when he came to Bur

and bull that day, and every other big
thing in the grounds except Edlich;
he only failed to hit him In one sense
Of the word. We hope Edlich comes
back for at least one game here.

TANT MIX IN STATE.

The most important interscholastic
basketball game that will be played IN
the state OF Iowa this season, will take
place in Ottumwa Saturday evening BE-
tween the aggregations Of the Ottum-
wa and Muscatine high schools. The
fierse contest will undoubtedly settle
1 the championship OF the state and one
Iof the most sensational battles ever
staged in this city is expected. Both
quintets are undefeated this season

and Muscatine are considered the TWO
strongest teams In the state and the
levenness Of their playing promise Q
fiercely fought mix as both VIII be
driven to their utmost with the
thought Of the championship rag. OF.
tumwa is ready for the fray. Musca-
tine reports likewise. One OF the
greatest crowds Of rooters ever as
sembled In the Y. M. G. a. gymnasium
will be on hand to help defeat Musca-
tine. Both teams will play as they
never played before. The record OF
|Muscatine shows the worth Of Ottum-
was opponent Saturday night and the
Outcome is doubtful. The game will
be refereed by Dr. F. w. Law or
Coach Allen Berkstreaser ofg Parsons
college, In all probability the former,
as both teams are DESTROYS OF securing
the best oflicial possible.
'Ottumwa has received challenge
from the Appleton, Wisconsin team for
a game here this year but the date
that the Appleton players desire Is
filled. Ottumwa played the Appleton

challenged Ottumwa and It is &C.
cepted with great pleasure. The game
will be played the first or second week
