The base ball team held a very enthusiastic meeting at their headquarters Tuesday evening and much business relative to their future games was discussed. The only change in line up was that of the catcher, they taking on a new man, Mr. Harrington, an old-timer at the game, who has had a number of years experience in the ball sport. Charles E. Burk of Geneva will still have charge of the tall and with this battery they expect to be in a much better form for the holding of the team together. The new suits have arrived and are of a pretty grey, with the name of Seipp across the breast in cardinal red lettering. A red stripe, red cuffs and a stripe down the trouser sides, make a very attractive showing, and the team will appear from now on in their regular suits, and will be known as the Seipps’ Base Ball Team." They have booked three games. Next Sunday, with Fort Recovery, the 21st with Auburn and the 28th with Huntington, all games te be played away from home, owing to the fact that no suitable grounds can be secured.
