Memorial Day, Arthur Clark, we'll
known young man of this city who
was engaged in newspaper work for
the Morris Sun before going to Rice

The Crow Valley base ball league
which started so auspiciously early
in the season, has gone the way most
leagues Of like character have gone
up in smoke. Everything was lovely
until Litchfield became dissatisfied,
and attempted to weaken other teams
in the league by hiring their players
to strengthen the Litchfield team. AS
one Of the conditions of the league
was that each team should be com
posed of home players, this naturally
caused the other teams to register
righteous indignation.
The Litchfield Saturday Review
says the base ball situation in that
city is "chaotic." The citizens com.
mittee which raised the money for the
support of the team has resigned, the
manager Of the team has left town
and the money contributed to the sup.
port of the team is gone. Last but
not least, number Of bills have &C
cumulated and there seems to be
nothing left to pay them with.
Oscar Olson, who formerly pitched
for DeGraff and Benson, is with the
Starbuck team this season, and re
Gently pitched an eighteen inning
game against the Willard outfit. The
Starbuck Times speaks very highly
Of his performance in the box.
The Spicer team met their first de
feat of the season last Sunday after
noon, when Kerkhoven beat them tt
e 1, at Kerkhoven. A disastrous first
inning, when the home team piled W
It four runs was the main cause of the
set back.
Next Sunday the Spicer team jour
c neys to Litchfield to meet the fas
team of that place. Ronning ant
Evans should have magnificen
g pitchers duel if the dope runs tru'
g to form.
