Baseball Is Starting In Several Nearby Towns.

* Delphi defeated the Barbees of Lafayette last Sundry, 4 to 3. An enthusiastic lady fan had made a banner, which Attorney Gus Hall presented to the team. Goodland will play its first game next Sunday with the Chicago Grays. Goodland claims to have a rattling good team again this year. Rensselaer hopes to play them within the next few weeks. Francesville is playing ball again this year and it is reported that the team will be composed of Monon and Medaryville as well as Francesville players, which would make a strong combination. The college has signified its eagerness to play Rensselaer again this spring and it is probable that two games will be arranged, one to be played at the college and one in town. It is probable that a large crowd will be out Sunday to witness the game between the Naps and Francesville. The Naps team is composed of some likely youngsters whose work will be watched with interest. •- Winamac has a ball team and it is probable will be included in the Athletics schedule. Lowell is busy and is playing great ball. Hess is catching Shurte, a clever young left hander. Lowell always draws a good crowd here and will probably be asked to come here Sunday, May 10th. Nothing like a baseball noise has been heard from Remington, but it is probable a team will be organized there and that the Athletics can-have two or three games with them.
