BALL SEASON WILL
0PEN'ON MAY Is

The baseball bug came back to life
Friday evening, when at an enthusiast
tic meeting of the baseball fans at the
City Hall. it was decided to put a team
in the field for valley City next sea-
son rivaling in strength that of last
year. After talking over the expenr
fences of the baseball association last
year, and new suggestions offered for
putting better team into the, field,
election of officers and directors was
taken up.
j. H. Sampson, who served as eff
cient manager of the association last
year, was reelected to that capacity
for the coming year. Matt Krog and
j. L.. Erdman were elected directors.
These directors together with the
manager, are empowered to name two
more directors for the association.
They are also authorized to appoint an
assistant manager to assist in the
managing OF the team, as the duties
involved in the capacity of manager
are too much for one man.
The proposition of securing players
was also taken up. Acting on the be-
lief thse; the early bird gets the worm.
the signing up'sof players will begin
at once. 1t is planned to secure som
Of the best players in the northwest.
and trip to the Twin Cities will
perhaps be made by some representa-
tive of the association in the near fu-.
ture and bunch of players signed up.
It is planned to open the season on
May 25th, with a game with some
strong team in the state on the Val
eely City field. ,S.5y
The spirit evinced by the meeting
was one of enthusiasm throughout,
and several of those present signified
their willingness to make donation
toward getting the association started.

at the Liberty Cafe Monday evening,

presiding. A sumptuous turkey ban
quet was served by James, Manoles,
proprietor, of the Liberty, Cafe. 49,
>, The meeting Monday evening was
devoted largely to the Dollar Day pro-
position, which the merchants in sew
eral of the cities of, the state have
tried out and found to be big successes.
A motion was carried that Dollar Day
be put on at least six times during the
summer. beginning with the last Sat
urday of each month. The merchants
are showing splendid spirit in put
ting on such days throughout the sum-
mer, which will prove a. big saving
to- Barnes county shoppers who will
want to do their trading in Valley City
as Some real bargains will be offered
on these days.
The Saturday afternoon matinee
proposition was also taken up by the
club, and very thoroughly discussed.

on. They were put on for several
years in Valley City. The matinees
on Saturday would be free to all per-
sons outside Valley City. and the the
atre would be open from one to six.

ried, authorizing the president OF the
club to appoint committee of three

ers relative to the condition Of The
roads on the hills surrounding Valley
City, which are not in the best of con-
dition at the present time.
