Rensselaer Republican, Volume 27, Number 41, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 June 1895 — A Base Ball Club. [ARTICLE]

A Base Ball Club.

Rensselaer is to have a good ball club this season. Already seven players are signed: Bradley of Louisville and Gagen of Chicago, pitchers or out fieldera; Bender of Peru 2nd base; Moore of Chicago 3rd base; Tharp, Ist base; Reynolds, centerfield; Crocket, left-field and catcher. The last three named are home boys. Jackson, of Chicago, who has been released by Rockford will probably be secured as catcher. Ground has been leased from Warren Robinson, near the railroad crossing east of town and a fine sew park is being made. The opening game will probably be with the crack Lowell club, our old opponents of last year. B. F. Ferguson sells the best wagon ou the market for the money. Call and see. Robert Randle is agent for the Deering Binders and Mowers. Don’t fail to get prices before buying.
