Bismarcks 1888 baseball team, spon-
sored by Lloyd Spetz post Of the

with the strong Glen Ullin Eagles at
the Morton county city.

In the initial contest. The suits are
of silver gray, trimmed in black, with
Bismarck in cardinal letters on the
front and the name of a sponsoring
business firm on the back. Each man
will wear black socks and black caps.
Each outfit includes cardinal sweat
shirt, with bears a large black B, as

Handicapped by cold weather for his
spring training season, Churchill is
not overly optimistic as the first game
approaches. The team this month
will be without the services of Ben
jacobson, Businessman, and Westdal,
infielder, who are completing their
studies at the University Of North Da-
kota.
Churchill expects to start "Honey
Boy" Becker in the box, holding The
mar Smiley for reserve duty in the
box. Just how his pitchers will fare
in view of the cool weather is prob
!ematical, the manager said.
Behind the bat, the pilot will have
either Sam Hyland or Gus Schwartz.
while Long John Sagehorn will cover
the initial sack and Sebastian Goetz
will be at second. Either Cliff Crit
fifth or Bob Mccartney will be at short
field, with either Mccartney or Mike
Goetz completing the infield at third
base.
In the outfield will be Roy D. Nc
Leod, Lefty Klein and Mike Jacobs.

Ullin will be Assistant Manager Wal
ter Babe" Mohn and Balzer Hummel,
official scorer, as we'll as several
American Legion officials.
The local club expects to run into
q powerful team at Glen Ullin, one OF
the most potent teams in the Fifty
five Mile league.

western city has three pitchers from
which to choose his starter. They are
N. p. Stomnes, formerly of the 500
League In Minneapolis, j. Grewer and
Fritz Kwako, both natives Of Glen
Ullin.

ter. 200-pound slugger.
