BASEBALL SEASON OPENS
Regulars and Yannigans Play Again
@ on the Gath. Richardton Team
Comes to Dickinson on Sat-
urday,, May 30th.

To the tune of 9 to 1 the Regulars
defeated the Yannigans in the OPEN
ing game of the season. Of course
the nifty new suits of the regulars
had great deal to do with it no
doubt. Neil was in the box for the
regulars, Huber and Ebblewhite al
ternated behind the bat and at third.
Huber played last season with the
speedy Flasher team. He has recent
ly undergone an operation for appen-
dicitis, so can not take very active
part at present. .Ebblewhite halls
from the coast and gives much prom
ise. Cullen at second is also a new
one to the fans, but from the way he
works around the keystone sack he'll
be there with the goods. Davis was
at first scooping the low ones out Of
the dirt, and spearing the high ones
in his old style form. John Robinson
was Eat home" at short and playing
his usual strong game. John gets
them across to first in record time.
"Little Bobbie," or Fred Robinson,
was greatly missed and it will be
disappointment to the fans to know
that he will not be in the game this
year. He has gone to the Little Mis-
souri, country north for the summer.
Bill McCutchan was in the left gard
en- looking out for the grass. Bill
covers lots of territory and the ball
should not damage much of the grass
on his lawn this year. If you want
to see an active lad turn out and see
Kroneshable in center field. He has
big space to watch but he's there
when anything comes his way. We've;
got to get together before the box
scores come out and have his name
changed. It wouldn't do to print it
in two lines. Grubb was out in right
field chasing around like colt.
The "Yannigans" were right on the
job even though they only secured
one lone score. Conlin did the heav-.
ing and he certainly was there with
the goods. He had good assort-
ment and made the regulars think
that they were up against the real
thing. Goodrich was on the receiving
end and did good job. He was right
there when it came to chasing fouls;
very few got away from him. Hall
was on first, demonstrating that he
could manage the initial station as
well as telephone exchange. Nc
Keever handled second in great style;
he got everything in reach. If he
couldn't reach it it belonged to some
one else. Kuss played short. He
stopped all the driving through his
territory, though he is a harness
maker. Needham watched the third
. sack and did all he could to detain
the regulars in their scoring. Ferris
in left field made several sensational
running catches, showing that he had
played ball before. Click was out in
center and though he has not the
heighth to stop the ball from going
over the fence, he was there all the
time. Baker did the shagging in
right field and showed that he was a
conner.
i No time was taken on the game
and the attendance was not counted,
though many stayed through the
showers till the end. The umpires
were Baker and Swope. Next Sum
day the regulars will again meet the
Yannigans.
/ On Memorial day the regulars will
play their first game Of the schedule.
This is with the fast Richardton ag-
gregation. Richardton is stronger
than ever this year and will give the
boys good rub.
| On the 31st Connolly will be up
from New England with the speedy
ball team from the south. They have
a fast bunch and hope to get the first
game. The fans will soon have a
chance to work off that restless feel
ing. Two big games, May 30 and 81.
