Williston baseball fans are cong,at
ulating themselves because Of the fact
that the Minot Northern League team
has consented to play several games in
that city the coming season Minot
has a numebr Of open dates and rather
than lay idle have accepted the pro-
posals Of the Williston fans to meet
some fast send-I,fofessiona1 teams n
their city, as well as to play the VIII
liston team which is expected to be q
high class organization. Devils Lake
fans should try and make arrange
ments for the appearance of eithsr
Minot, Fargo, or Winnipeg in this
city on different occasions during the
Chautauqua season. The Affiliations
team are coming into the state again,
and no doubt but what they would be
glad to play here if an aggregation
can be found to meet them. The fact
that the towns in this vicinity will
have no teams this year should make
a few high class games at Chautau-
qua a big drawing card.
