TRIBUNE SPORT COLUMN


Gehard Ronning for several years
star pitcher of the Spicer team has
been hired for the season by Belgrade
and pitched his first game of the sea-
son last week. winning from New Lon
don by score Of 4 to 1.
| The high school base ball team may
travel to Kerkhoven on Friday, May
2Sth for game with the high school
team Of that place. The teams have
met twice so far this season and Kerk
has won both games, but right now
the local bunch is playing a mighty
good game and they are confident
that the tables will be turned, should
the teams meet again next week.

The Excelsior and South Side Ath-
letic base ball teams opened the sea-
son last Sunday afternoon with a
game on the grounds near the Howell
residence. The game was holly con-
tested all the way and was in doubt
until the last man in the ninth inning
was out. Fine pitching by Hank"
Forsberg was the big feature of the
game. The batteries were, Forsberg
and Maynard Knudsen for the Win
ners, and Carl and Harry Howell for
the Athletics.
Weather permitting, the local base
ball season will open next Sunday,
when the Benson team will clash with
Willmar. The rivalry between these
teams is always great, and the result
will mean hard game. Just how
Willmar will line up is not known,
but the chances are very good that
Buck Johnson and Obbie Nordstrom
will take care of the battery work,
and with them working as of old,
these position will not be worried
about. Buck seems to be even better
than ever this year, and the result
will be more trouble for opposing
batsmen.
1t would seem as tho the grade OF
base ball played in the Northern
league this season is faster than in
any of the recent years, as at the time
this was written, Peck Kielty had
failed to break into the lineup with
Winnipeg, and it seems that Choppie
Dean has lost out at short stop with
the same team. Other fast semi-pro
players of this locality who tried out
with teams in that league have also
failed to make the grade. Massey, a
pitcher and Peterson, an Outfielder
are both back at Appleton after a
short trial with Grand Forks, and
Gabby Nelson failed to make go OF
it at Grand Forks, either. So far the
only one who is playing regularly IS
Jack O'Donnell, and he seems to have
earned the position of first catcher at
Winnipeg.
