Ball Game for Red Cross. Baltic fans will accompany _ the Baltic mule spinners team to Taft- ville to witness the first in the series of games to be plaved between the home team and the Taftville mule spinners Saturday afternoon. The Baltic men have had consid- ergble practice and are in fine condi- tion for the opening game. The man- ager of the home team doesn't say much concerning the ability of his men but it is known that some speedy material composes the lineup. The Taftville team has done their !bit in the practice line and fars from {surrounding towns expect to see something doing when these two teams contest honors. Erickson will be on the transmit- ting line and Almquist wil take care of the receiving end for the lacal team. The Baltic plavers have one man who has earned a reputation as a hase runner and it will require some peedy twirlin® to_cover this man be- tween " bases. Weather permitting, Pajtic will be well represented _at Taftville on the dav of the game. The second zame will be piaved in Baltic on August 11.

There was ample food for each and cvery man of the nearly 130 fed and after their active work of the morn- ing the soldiers showed that their ap- petites were in good workinz order. In the afternoon the drill routinc that has been laid out was again fo lowed. During the day and evening there were hundreds of visitors at the a mory. It became apparent eariy in the morninz that the visitors were to be s0 numerous that sometning would have to be done to keep them from unintentionally interfering with the work underway, so znards were post- ed about the grounds surrounding the and no one was allowed to armory pass through the lines without per- mission. Captain Withee was well pleased with the manner in which the com- pany mobilized. His chief concern was over the fact that two of his men have left the command, one of them to enlist in the navy, the other to serve in the regular army. This pair, over-anxious to met into ac- tion, have, of course, made fradulent enlistments in the navy and regulars and very probably will find them- selves in difficulties before long. Two other men who failed o report on time were expected to arrive at any minute. They have been employed out of town and it is expected that they met with some obstacle that prevented their reporting promptly. - Many members of the company pt at the armory Wednesday eve- ning, but others, living nearby, were permitted to go to their homes. SOLDIER BOYS TO BE GIVEN SEND-OFF Late Awakening to Fact That Boys Will Soen Be Gone Stirs Leading Men to Action. ‘Awaking to a realization of the fact that the Thirteenth company, C.

The situation réached that stage on Wed- nesday where a small group of men sald, in effect: “"We'll give them a send-off if we have to do it all by ourselves, and we'll give them a right proper one, too. The company deserves it and the company is going to_have it There were indichtions, however, Wednesday afternoon that things would not get to that stage. Arrange. ments were being made for quickly raising a fund to meet the expenses of getting a_band and paving the other costs of a send-off. The spirf then was to get everybody interested and whoop things up for the men who are to be the veterans of a great war. It may not be stated at just what time the company is going to leave, Fut it will be before Saturday night, so what is to be done must be done with a rush. Tt was announced Wednesday eve- ning that the send-off for the Thir- teenth company will be held this eve- ning.
