To hold these meetings throughout

that II DR.. Smith would limit the dis
cussion to the tariff and DR.. Smiths
record in the legislature he might

In his second letter Dr. Smith eN-
presses the willingness to meet DF'

BASEBALL TEAM
PROSPECTS GOOD
WESLEYAN SHOULD HAVE
STRONG NINE THIS SPRING

When the Sioux Falls college nine
comes to Mitchell April 20, for the.
opening of Dakota Wesleyan's base
ball schedule, the lineup for the blue
and white will be one which should
prove a strong contender for the race
for the state collegiate honors. Da-
kota Wesieyan's diamond prospects
this spring are the best they have
been i'll recent years.
Under the leadership of Capt.
Walter e. Smith, daily practice on
the athletic field is producing results
which are causing the prediction of
an unusually successful season. No
claims are being put forth thus early
for a state championship, but the
outlook in that direction is a r>from
discouraging.
Five veterans from last seasons
aggregation arc out on the diamond
this year. This factor is Wesleyan's
strongest asset. For the remaining
positions, there is an abundance of
experienced material. The fight at
THE present time for positions is keen.
The old men back are Kirkpatrick.
Wesleyan's star twirler for the. past
3 years, Capt. Smith, Martin, Aver;
and Cass. Playing strong ball a yea,
ago, these five are displaying gooG
form thus far. Martin is as clever a
little shortstop as ever trod the local
diamond. Avery and Cass are not
only capable performers in the out
field, but they also can be depended
upon to land on bases at critical
periods. Cass and Wilder, the latter
of whom is not now in school. led
the team last year in hitting. Capt,
Smith will again do his share of the
,slab work. For the past two seasons
he has won the majority of his games.
Among the new men are PAYNE,
Newcomb, Stacy, Waltz. Lloyd Thonp
son. Ross Smith, A. Martin. Knex,
Haaegy and Chase. All of these dis
play good promise of development,
Newcomb and Stacy are trying OUT
behind the bat. This position has
caused considerable embarrassment
to the team during the last two sea
sons, but in Newcomb and Stacy two
good backstops have been found. The
former was with the Woonsocke,
team last summer.
The squads weakest point is at the
bat. Coach Herbert Hardy has rea.
lized this and gruelling practice to
remedy this defect is engaged il
every afternoon. 1t is thought that .
marked improvement will be notice
on the occasion of the initial game
with Sioux Falls.
The schedule is incomplete at pre-
sent, but in all probability will con.
