BASEBALL TEAM
READY TO PLAY
MITCHELL WILL BE REPRESENT
ED by BEST DIAMOND .AG-
IRRIGATION IN YEARS THIS
SEASON.

If any cities, towns or villages in
Sottr Dakota have the lurking sus.
picion that they possess a baseball
team OF championship caliber. Nit.
chell herewith challenges them TO
combat. The reason for this chip on
the shoulder Is that for the first time
in many years it Will have Il team
worthy of the city it represents.
Manager "Heinie" Scharnweber
already has signed with three players
and Two more are slated to arrive
this evening, which with the material
on hand, shoull constitute a baseball
machine of winning caliber. To show
what the new stuff can do, Mitchell
won a thirteen-inning game over Let
cher at Ruskin park yesterday after
noon by the score of 3 to 2.
Harry Feltis, the twirler who Let
cher recently released humbled his
former team mates by feeding them
out of his hand and holding them to
five bingles for the struggle Gitchell
of minor league fame, twirled for
Letcher and escaped with q quartette
of hits. The game was won in the
thirteenth, when Feltis reached first
on an error and scored on a safe
wallop by Jerry Murphy, M OF the
new recruits. There was a large
crowd in attendance at the game,
many Mitchell people going up
Ray Peck, who played first base
with Norfolk in the Nebraska State
league last year, is one OF the new
men. He is a ~left-handed thrower
and hitter. Murphy, who made his
start with Mitchell yesterday, halls
from Hornick, Ia, and is a third
sacker. Two other men, an out
fielder and an infielder, are due to ar
rive tonight from Sioux City.
The financial outlook for the sea-
son is good. Enough money has
been pledged by the enthusiasts of
the city to guaranty that a good team
can be kept together for the summer.
The interest lin the national game has
never been better and with the games
at Woonsocket on Wednesday and at
Chamberlain on Thursday of this
week, the club will start the season
in regular form.

Dominant Traits.
There are two attributes of MIR.
Hitchcock's personality which no ono
doubts. These are his sincerity and
his integrity. Because he is known
to be genuine and to be incorruptable
men trust him. And the better they
know him, the more implicitly they
trust him. Further, Mr.. Hitchcock is
possessed OF an unusual degree of
public spirit. 1t is an ambition with
him to be of real service to society,
to his community, or to his comon-
wealth. Mere routine service does not
appeal to him. What he wishes to do
is something that Others perhaps
would not care to do because of the
work it would mean and because of
the moral persistence it would re-
uuire, something not easy to do,
something that ought to be done but
does not seem likely to be done. Thus
he manifests his f~aithfulness to the
I,Puritan traditions that We're handed
Ialong to him by his parents from
Itheir progenitors. Already Mr.. Hitch
cock performed more than II of the
! sort of hard tasks that he is so ready
TO undertake for the public good. And
so it is. assured that he will have his
full share of the gratitude and the
esteem of all who know OF his work
This is the super-reward who comes
to the man who already has the i'm
measurably rich recompenseof q con
scioMsnesS OF having done well.

Miller. S. D.-Entering a plea OF

worthless cheeks, Andrew Meyers, a
farm hand who fed and was caught
at Chicago and brought back to Hand

Myers career as an alleged Grim
lnal was brief, but while lie had a
chance he gave q good example of
high finance. Leaving the employ of
Frank Hart, a Buffalo county farmer
he proceeded to Miller. Pretending to,
have a deposit in a bank at Gam VAL
ley he had a citizen endorse a check
for 800 drawn on the bank in which
he claimed to have funds. Armed
with this endorsed check he entered
a jewellery store and purchased goods
to the amount of $50, rendering the
check for 500 in payment. He re-
iceived the difference between his pur
chase and the amount of the check
in cash. At another store he made
a purchase of $12 and is charged
with having rendered another worth
less check. receiving the difference
cash.
Then he purchased a ticket for.
Chicago and fed. When information
was received that he had no funds
in the Cam Valley bank the authori-
ties at Chicago were wired to arrest
him. He was taken into custody as
he stepped from a train in the windy
