Next Sunday the locals travel to
Morris to meet the Independents on
their home grounds. The Morris
bunch is reported as a strong one,
they having victory or two over
Glenwood.
Tomorrow, Thursday evening at
6:15 the Willmar and Spicer ball
teams will meet at the local park in
what promises to be an exceedingly
interesting game. The locals will be
strengthened considerably by the ad.
dition of Carlson, McGrew, Geo. Har.
sted and possibly George Lamb. Buck
will do the hurting for the locals with
Nordstrom on the receiving end, while
Ronning and Arthur will perform for
Spicer. Ronning is going at good
esting to see what the Willmar hitters
can do against his speed, after they
mauled Brazels slow ball all over the
lot last Sunday afternoon. The game
will begin promptly and the admission
will be Is cents.
An immense crowd saw the open
ing of the local base ball season last
Sunday afternoon when Willmar de-
feated Glenwood by score of II to
10. The game produced many kinds
of base ball. Errors by both teams
were in abundance, but several pref
ty plays were made to Offset the bad
ones. Glenwood got away to seven
run lead in the first couple of innings
but by steady plugging, shifting the
lineup and taking advantage of mis-.
plays the locals finally pulled out in
the last of the ninth.
Glenwood scored in the first when
Reed singled to center, and went to
third on Robard's out at first. He
scored when Booth threw wild trying
to catch him at third. The second in
ming saw the visitors send three men
across the plate. Bunday was safe
when Dalen dropped the last strike,
and he went to second when the
throw to first went wide. He took
third on passed ball and scored
when Ophelm was safe on Sew.

fourth inning Glenwood was practic.

Williams into the box, Nordstrom be-
hind the bat, Booth and Dalen to the
outfield, and this combination worked
better, Williams getting much better
support than did Buck. In the last
