Business Mems League Again

At a meeting held Monday night
the Business Mems Baseball League
was reorganized for the coming sea-
son. Last years officers will again
have charge and Captains Wiger,
Lusk, Fortune and Anderson will
soon have their teams picked. The
teams are to be chosen by alternate
drawing as heretofore, so that Meth
er Boosters, Caterpillars, Hoosiers
nor White Crests will present the
same lineup ass last year. Several
of last years players are not listed
for this season, and consequently
there will be new talent out this sea-
son. Several Of the Normal school
professors wish to "enlist, " and they
will either have team Of their own,
or be included in the lineup OF the
other teams.

Interstate League
(From the Hudson Star-Observer)

(t'rOm the Hudson Star-ODserver)
The Hudson Boosters Baseball
Team has cleared it's decks for action
for the 1917 season of the Interstate
League. Really it looks like a ban
ner year for the league, as each team
has materially strengthened its line
up, until they are able to assure the
fans that they will see the fastest
article of ball outside of the Ameri-
can Association, and then some.
The most successful baseball meet
ing of the year was held at the Hotel
Sherman last Sunday and complete
harmony prevailed. Many important
changes in the rules were adopted one
of which was to the effect that there
would be only one price Of admission,
that Of 25 cents. The schedule for
the coming season was also adopted.
Hudson opens officially at Still
water May 6. Decoration Day Still
water plays in Hudson, and on the
Fourth of July the Boosters go to
Ellsworth. Just a word in connection
with this last mentioned. The people
Of Ellsworth are at fever heat over
baseball and plan to make the 4th
the biggest celebration ever had in
that city. And we all know Ellsworth
can turn the trick We have it from
very good authority that it will be
greater than the fall of Rome. They
are expecting a special train from
Hudson, and when it comes to spe-
cial trains, guess we from River Falls
can hold up our end.
Red Wing sent a large number of
delegates to the meeting, with the
idea Of re-instating their team, but
were turned down for the reason
that South st. PauPs franchise had
been accepted and schedule made out.
Hudson will have some new faces
in their lineup this year, and in ord
Ell to properly introduce them will
give you a short synopsis of their
history and ability.

Subscription $3.50 Per Year

Of last years team we have "Hei-
ney" Anderson, the speedy short
stop; Ed. and Henry Bleier, center
field and third base; Melvin Peterson,
the best and fastest second baseman
in the league; and last but not least
our Pioneer Spit-Ball Artist FROSTY"
Bertsch. Phil Dorgan has also sign
ed a contract, and Manager Johnson
wishes to encourage local men to
come out for the team. There is al
ways first time to everything and
baseball stars are born every minute.
Don't be backward.
Now for the new men. Sandberg
comes from South Saltwater, where
he played with the Starkels. His
station is the initial sack, and was
seriously considered by Saltwater I'M
til they got Leby. He is consistent
player in all parts Of thegame.
Ben Nelson, to be known to Hud-
son fans hereafter as "Red," is all
wool and yard wide and then some.
He halls from the Dakotas and will
take Bergers place behind the bat,
the latter having been released. This
man is big fellow and comes highly
recommended, with a perfect throw
ing arm and home runs a speciality.
M. J. Schreiner played ball among
the fastest teams in Minnesota. He
is an in-fielder and relief-pitcher with
a curve all his own. Watch him.
Alex Nicholson is considered the
best short-stop in the Twin Cities,
playing last year with the NJ. ].
Cars. While young man, he is an
cold head" in baseball, and with his
should prove invaluable to
us.
I. r. McElligot is an in-felder,
having played last year with the Min
nesota Transfers, who are leaders
Of the St. Paul Amateur League. He
is hard man on pitchers and should
Hudson's batting average
to great extent.
Vince Doyle. Doyle means "Fence
Buster" in Irish. He is an A No.
and formerly Northern
Lacquer, having left that league to
accept lucrative position in St.
Paul. He is not 'Has Been" but a
Conner" and Manager Cameron of
the Hotel Sherman says we have the
best all-around ball player in the
Twin Cities, and that he is some
handy with the bat. 1t begins to look
like a bad year for the pitchers.
Charles Ship is first baseman Of
an unknown quality. He is young
ster, having played with the May
Shoes, and comes highly recommend
ed.
With this lineup Hudson ought to
be able to duplicate last years feat
and win the pennant. The schedule
for the coming season is as followes:
