LOCAL SPORT DOPE

The high school base ball team will
play the Granite Falls team at the local
ball park next Saturday. The local boys
are putting up splendid article of
ball and deserve better patronage than
they have been receiving.
On Tuesday, Decoration Day after
noon at four o'clock, the high school
team and group Of local "stars" will
indulge in a friendly combat on the 10.
cal grounds. The regular lineup of the
school team will be in the field, which
means Bob Johnson will undoubtedly do
the pitching. The opposition will be
furnished by such we'll known sterling
athletes as Obbie Nordstrom. Billie
Williams, Claude Gordhamer, Buck
Johnson, Lawrence Hoffman. and host
Ct others. Spectators are guaranteed
their moneys worth.
The beginning of the end has come
A week or so ago, an event which has
threatened for many years, but which
by some miracle has failed to go thru.
happened.
The grounds used from time tmmem-
orial as ball grounds have been sold.
The lot on which the grandstand rests
was disposed Of to j. A. Rowat, and
three lots south of that, fronting on 9th
St. have also been disposed of.
Thus this historic athletic field, the
scene Of many battle, both football
and baseball seems doomed. Whether
the new owners intend to build this
summer or not, we do not know, and
it is probable that local teams will be
allowed to play there If such is not the
case.

sented by teams. Up to the last lap
of the relay, in which Goodnow of
Hutchinson had to give way to Keen
an Of Litchf1eld, Hutchinson maintained
a good lead. The eight points given the
