MOTHER FAST HORSE.

Fred Deters this week purchased a
very promising thoroughbred pacing
colt, Glen B., from Glenwood parties.
This makes an even dozen racing
horses owned in Sauk Centre and
every one is a PAGER. Glen B. is a

BURLINGTON Boosters.
By the Editor

Reused from long slumber, Bur
lington is doing some hot boosting
for baseball. The supporters of the
Pathfinders have adopted the stunt
of selling booster buttons. The Bur

follows:
The Burlington Booster buttons

will be crime against the city ordin-

Some Improvement.

From Waterloo comes screaming
announcement that the baseball di-
rectors of that town have decided to
make big improvements this year.
The ball lot will be graded and seed
ed. and-the clubhouse will be COM
pletely oyerhauled. This is some
noise. The clubhouse in Waterloo is
an old shack built about 100 years ago
by a pioneer settler, evidently. 1t was
fmprovised into a club house last
year, and believe muh' was some
ornament The fans in the grand
stand and bleachers could see It
plainly, and it brought to their minds
visions of the old days of Indians and
the wilderness. The fact that this
relic will be improved will be heard
with JOY around the c. A. circuit. AL
though one of the very smallest, the
Improvement is one of serious i'm.
portancs. Waterloo will be congrat-
ulated.
