Meet and Settle Differences
Aug. 18th in Duncombe.

For the next two weeks the base
ball faus will suffer from lack Of
their favorite pastime owing to the
fact that several of the "Colts" will
be enjoying the National Guard en-
camI In1eill at Iowa Falls. But one
eSn,e is scheduled during camp
time an1a shat one is to be pulled
off in our neighboring town, Dun
combe. This contest is to be the big
feature of the fifteenth of August,
the annual Worlds Fair Day at Dun
combe and the Fort Dodge team un-
der the management of Larson Bros.
will clash with the locals for hon
ors. Owing to this game being dat
ed before the encampment was ar
ranged for, Manager Kearns will Sc
cure leave of absence for his play
ers who are erstwhile soldiers. The
contest on that date is expected to
be "some session." as the locals have
appeared in two games this season
with Peterson's bunch and both
have managed to get away with one
victory. The game to take place is
to prove the better team. and both
mines will be bloated with the best
material in the vicinity. In addition
to the big ball game the Duncombe
peonle exDect To null off q celebra-
ton that is something altogether
larger and grander than ever before.
Almost every kind of event is sched-
uled to take place in that town on
the big day. Every kind of novelty
entertainment will be put on and
every one is invited. 1t Is probable
that a large delegation from this
city will attend and assist the local
base ball team to put something ov-
er on the Fort Dodge squad.
