committee, and by the way have quite
task before them as there is much
to be done before the field can be
placed in playing condition. More
benches will be erected and screens
put up. The team also decided to put
on a benefit dance at the d. B. S.
hall in the near future; as commit
tee for this, the following were select
ed: Carl Hyldahl, Manford Nelson and
John H. SOrensen. All the suits are
to be inspected by a committee and
likely several of them will have to be
replaced with new ones. Hence the
team is up against heavy expenses
and it is hoped that everyone will
buy a dance ticket when they are
offered for sale and thus help foot the
bill. Martin Andersen was selected
as official ticket seller at all home
games and the boys hope he will be
overloaded with work at all the games
on the Askov diamond. All prospec-
tive players will meet on main
