BALL GAMES FOR THE HORSE SHOW LOOK GOOD.

Manager Harmon Reports Having Secured Wadena, Francesvllle and Boswell for Big Days. Wadena, Thursday, Sept. 29th. Francesvllle, Friday, Sept. 30th. Boswell, Saturday, Oct. Ist. This is the program for baseball games during the horse show days -and it looks mighty good. Wadena always plays good ball and now they are especially strong owing to the fact that Crandall, who has been playing ball in the Southern League, is back home and will take part with the local team the balance of the season. Wadena is going to try hard to win the opening day game. Francesvllle is to play Friday and they too will try hard for the defeat of the Wrens. Francesvllle has airways been a good base ball town, but they had laid off to rest up for two or three years and just got started again this year and they are now in good shape and are receiving lots of encouragement and support at home. They will put up a good contest. On Saturday comes the great game of the season. Boswell has a fine team and has lost but few games this year. They are chafing some under the defeat the Wrens administered to them in that extra inning contest at the Goodland horse show and they will come pver here with the hope of retrieving the defeat. The games are run independent of the horse show and an admission of 25 cents will be charged to each game. From the local standpoint the team will be the best that has represented Rensselaer this year. Johnny Hanks, last year’s favorite, affd the boy whom the Wrens started in professional base ball, has promised faithfully to be here. Lakey will also be on hand, as will Kevin, the midget third baseman. McLain has Been gaining in health lately and he hopes to get into these games. If he does he will be at his old post behind the bat. Wilcox, Swartzell, Jensen, Morgan and Elder WiH all be ready for the big games. It will be a carnival of base ball and should draw great crowds.
