A BALL TEAM FOR DEBORAH
Committee Looking After tn,
Organizing of a Good Team
Here
Boys Have Been Practicing for the
Past Week. Many Returned
Soldiers in Lineup

The war the past two years put
a damper on base ball in DEBORAH,
as many of the players were over in
France licking the Huns. Now these
boys are back, that is many of them,
and DEBORAH is going to have ball
team, and with little good human
tartan support we can have rafting
good team.
A committee, composed of Messrs.
e. R. Haines, e. A. Waterbury, Atty.
E. p. Shea and Ed Herwig have
taken up the dictatorship, and have
secured Arthur Lauden, Proprietor
of the Sweet Shop, and an ex-league
player to manage the team. Laudell
knows the game, knows how to put
pep into the players and knows how
to train them to play real ball.
Some of the players lined up al
ready for the team are Hans Ander-
son, Lawrence Ryag, pitchers; E.
Bronstad, Phil Losen, catchers; Vic.
Hoeg, first base; Roger Rima,
second; Earl Marsh, third; Horace
Weiser, short; Leonard Rastetter,
Harry McAndrews, Paul Rygg, All
Tufte, field. ,..,.
One of the main things the team
is in need Of now is uniforms and a
committee will go about the city
and solicit fund to buy the boys
uniforms, and we believe that every
body will contribute their bit to the
fund.
The fair grounds is being put in
shape for the games and some good
games can be expected here. Calmar,
Spillville, Castalia, Cresco, West
Union, Postville and McGregor are
getting lined up with good teams,
and there will be something doing
in short time. Watch for further
....
Since the above was written we
understand that G. F. Baker has con-
sented to assist with the organizing
of the team, which insures a good
man for the organization Also an
other good player returned Monday
from France, Mr.. John Dotseth.
Everybody knows John, and he can
play ball too. With such good fellows
at the head Of the team and with
such good ball players as In the
lineup, they should be given a big
boost.

III. w. Haas Sold Out.

Monday of this week H. w. Haas
the we'll known East End butcher
sold his meat market business to
three men from Sumner, Messrs
Erickson and Homburg Bros. The
gentlemen will take possession on
July first. We dislike to see the pas
sing of Mr.. Haas from our business
circles here, as he has been one of
the most popular and well liked
merchants DEBORAH ever had, and
has always enjoyed big business.
He has been selling. meats here in
DEBORAH for more than % years and
has enjoyed a reputation for honesty
and square dealing always. We
understand Mr.. Haas will buy and
ship stock in the future, as he does
not want to retire outright, after
leading such an active business life
as he has the past rs years. At any
rate his friends wish him health and
prosperity for many years to come.
Mr.. Iver Ringdahl, who has been
one of the efficient and popular en-
ployees of this shop will remain with
the new firm, which will be good
news to many. liver is popular and
accom- odating and has always given
the 4best of service at this shop.
