Elmer Theis, who pitched for the
St. Joe-Deckerts of Minneapolis |
against Willmar a couple of years ago, |
is with the Stewart team again this
season, and won his opening game
last week. by a score of s to 4.
The presence OF too much moisture
caused the base ball game scheduled
for last Saturday, between the local
high school and Litchfield, to be can
celled. The team expect to 60 to
Litchfleld Saturday Of this week, and
with an even break in the luck of the
game, should bring home the bacon.

The Willmar base ball team will op-
en- their season next Sunday, weather
| permitting, when a game will be play
ed with Benson, at that place. The
lineup of the local team is still in
doubt, as practice has been out of the
question, owing to the condition of
the ball park. The trip will be made
by auto and it is probable that many
fans will accompany the team. The
home season will open Sunday, May
23rd, with Benson furnishing the op-
position.
The first track and field meet Of the
Great Northern conference was held
at Litchfield short time ago. Teams
were entered from Litchfield, Cokato,
Delano and Howard Lake. Dassel is
also included in the conference but
their team failed to show up. The
meet resulted in an easy victory for
the Litchfield team, as they scored 6S
points, more than all the other schools
combined. Howard Lake totalled Is,
Delano Is and Cokato 8 points. Dart
of the winning team, with fourteen
points, was the individual star of the
meet.
l. A meeting Of representatives from
this city, DeGraff, Benson, Herman
Glenwood and Morris was held at the
latter place last Friday evening fol
the purpose of forming a league, OF
six towns for the season of 1915
Chokio was not represented, having
sent word that they would be unable
to carry thru their share of the agree
ment. After discussing the question
at some length, it was decided to aban
don the idea of league for this sea
son, as Herman and DeGraff both
withdrew, owing to the heavy ex
penses. Manager Carlson and Presi
dent Scott of the local team repre-
scented Willmar and the latter booked
( l
these teams. Four games with Ben
son, two with Morris and the like
number with Glenwood form tho
schedule at present.
