Base Ball.

The management, in behalf of
the players, expresses regret that
the game was late last Sunday,
but on account of bad roads and
the further fact that the Oswego
team had trouble in securing
transportation to Baxter, the de-
lay was unavoidable.
Next Sunday the game will be
called on time, and it will be a
good one, too. Springfeln, Mo-,
will be here and the game will
be called at 2:30 o'clock. On
account of the big expense in
getting the Springfield team the
admission that day will be 15c.
Ladies free. Grandstand seats SC.
The score last Sunday was
Oswego 2, Baxter 1. Only a
