Cotton Men and Picked
Team From High School
to Play Ball Game

The Pine Bluff polo grounds will be
opened auspiciausly next Saturday
afternoon with a baseball game be-
tween the Cotton Buyers and the
infant proteges of the High School.
Under the melting rays of the
March sun the Cotton Buyers have
been rounding into form and Manager
HeilZeim stated last night that his
men were never in better condition.
For the last few weeks they have been
practicing batting, sliding and base
running and on the rainy days they
gathered in the gymnasium for their
work out.
Manager Heilzeim is an exponent
of scientific baseball and blackboard
practice has been INDUCED in, during
which they have delyed deeply into
the mystics of that minus quantity
called inside baseball.
cit is we'll understood" said Mana
ger Heilzheim, chat the infants from
the High School will present hard
problem for my men to solve and to
win we will be forced to resort to
ken tactics. I shall general the team
from my position on first base, and
any sign Of weakness in my men will
be instantly noticed and new man
sent in l expect to use number Of
pinch hitters as we'll as several
relief runners"
The Cotton Buyers have secured by
copyright all the baseball talent Of
the city. Several fence busters are
noticed in the line up and if it were
not for the fact that there is no
fence around the park, the fence
that is not there but is expect
ed to be put there by the proceeds
Of this game would be seriously in
danger Of losing several planks.
All of which means that the object
of the baseball game Saturday is to
raise funds to have a fence built
around the Athletic Field.
1t would be we'll worth the while of
any big league scout to attend this
game and look the boys over. The
bunch of athletes who will cavort
over the turtle back Saturday are
exceptionally good ball players. For
instance Manager Heilzeim who bat
ted over hundred and fifty in the
Epworth league, will bear watching.
The High School team after several
weeks training at their quarters on
Ninth and Oak streets have succeed
ed in working out all the kinks and
will be in good position to show
the CottOns point or two about the
great, grand and glorious game. They
too are opponents of scientific base
ball and are artful thieves, thinking
nothing of pilfering half dozen
bases in the source of a game, no.
to mention bat or glove after
the game.
Several new balls have been lost
during practice lately and they are
over two bases, under any circum-
stances. But the number of Fred
Merkles playing baseball are numer-
Gus, and several ivory topped young
sters will probably stop the game by
waiting the spherod into parts un-
known.
However, despite the fact that both
teams play according to Hoyle an
interesting game is predicted. To
those fans who delight to witness the
hit and run game this will be an
afternoon Of huge delight. Special
arrangements for tabulating the hits
and talleys will be made, and if the
game is called on account Of dark
ness the slug and run fest will be
resumed the following Saturday
morning at sun up. For the man who
enjoys superfluidity of anything
this will be chance to enjoy himself
to the utmost. The following stars
will probably take the field Saturday
afternoon for the Cotton Buyers:
Mullen and Belford pitchers;
7 Heilzeim, first base; Carl Ware, Sec
ond base; Walter McAdams, short
stop; Toney Franey, third base; Sam
Heilzeim, left field; Bob Culpepper
center field; Frank Taylor, right
field; Claud Sparks, catcher; Doc
Loving, sub catcher. =
