and aeroplane flights.
The scenes are all set and the plans
are completed for the greatest game
Of baseball ever played in this Sec
ton of the country. In this game
will appear some Of the most talented
baseball artists playing today. The
pitching staff is strong, especially in
the line Of the stars of the National

les to two hits in the second game
Of the worlds series; Vaughn, the big
fellow with the Cubs; Tesreau, the
famous Giant finger, and Alexander,
Philadelphia's wonder. With Bush,
the young twirler, who held Boston
for twelve innings in the third game
Of the worlds series; Mitchell, one of
Birmingham's stars; "King" Cole, the
Wonder of the American Association
IN 1913, and Engle, who did some
fine pitching with Washington this
Year, the American Leagues picked
team will be we'll represented on the
mound. This is only the pitching
staff for each team; the catchers are
all just as classy and the infielders
are as good as can be found. The
outfelders are heavy hitters and fine
fielders, so, with favorable weather
conditions, rafting good game will
be played in Dickinson next Tuesday
afternoon.
The seating capacity at the local
park will be upwards of 1900. The
grand stand seats were put on sale
at the Benzie Drug store this week
and nearly all have been sold to date.
These are the only strictly reserved

will be put up along the north and
west sides of the park will be sold on
the day of the game. No autos or

doubtedly be taxed to the limit.
| Now that the worlds series are
over, the players have gathered and
will be able to start their schedule on
time, playing their first game on
October 18th at Milwaukee. This
gives them ample time to reach Dick
inson for the afternoon Of the Goth,
with only two games between here
and Milwaukee.
Then there is the aeroplane flights
by Bell in his Curtiss machine, which
arrived here Wednesday in good
shape. Aviator Bell has promised
the management some thrillers in
the way Of fancy flying. To you who
have never seen an airship this will
be of untold value. Aeroplanes of
this type are the kinds used in the
Scouting of the big armies now en-
gagged in war across the water. The
United States have a large number OF
this type are the kind used in the
great advantage along the Mexican
border. Hence, coming at this time,
the flights will be an education to
everybody.

vicinity of the Elk building so as to
