Missovnt Variey, la., April 17.—|Special to Tur Ber.|—The Missouri Valley bascball association was orgaunized in the of 1558, and since then has been successful in the field and financiatly, Their record is ono of which they and the citizens of Missouri Valloy are proud. In 1559 the won 24 g losinz 7. Ip 1800 they won 20, losing 8, two of which were with league teams—one with Lincoln and one with Omaha.

L. H. Keim was born in 1563; began play- ing in 15%3; he was with the Northwestern state league, Dunlap, Dow City, Defian Atlantic, Creston, Omaha Cranes, Sterling, pming to the Valleys with their organ- ization.

His carcer began with tha Valley team, and they did well when they adopted such a hustler in the fleld and on third base. He rarely misses a two-bageer, and all the pitchers in the west dread to se¢ him come up. “Nellie” Ericson, born in 1805, began play- ing with the Chicago West Ends; came west i the employ of the railvoad and was caught by the Valleys; plays third base to perfection and cannot be sparea.

Dinmond Matters at Crete Crere, Neb., April 17.—[Special to Trr Ber.| - Crete had two gooa ball elubs during tho last season, the Rackets and the Ed. Jf. Steidls. Both clubs will enter the field again this season, The Ed. J. Steidls—This club was formed last season by tho genial, good-hearted pro- prietor of Steldl's pharmacy, mainly as an advertising medium, The club participated in some of the most hotly contested games ever seen in this neck o woods, and at the end of the season wera declared “champions of Saline county.® This is quite an honor when it will be seen that there are uo less than eight clubs in the county. The three most noted victorles of last season were with their opponents the Rackets, the scores of which resulted 6 to 4, 7 to 6 and 5 to 4, all favor of the Steidl's, The members of this ng club are as follows: Wil H. Steidl, brother of Ed. J., is the captain and first baseman. He was born in 111, April 4, 1869, stands five feot eight inc! es'and weighs 140 pounds. Ho has been playing ball all his lite and soon develoved an extraordinary eapacity for controlling tho men on the field and was made captain of al most every club in which he has played.

A Breezy Gudget From Fremont. Fuemoxt, Neb., April 17.—[Special to Tite Beel.—The present scason will make the fourth the Dorsey team of this ity has been in the field and is the only ono since the dis- banding of the strong organization of tho IPromont Girays, a fow yoars ago, which has hung together more than one season. Last year the Dorseys played a good many hotly contested games with clubs of neighboring towns, and wore usually accorded a good atrotage. One gamo with the 3 uills resulted 9 to 7 in favor of Fremont, and was a hard earned victory. Several contests were had, both hero and at_Wahoo with the Dorsoys of that place, the Fremont Dorseys winning the series. In_ one game the local team mopped the floorof the Wahoo Dorseys by ascore of 21 tol. Twice the Dorseys stood up before the Cranes of Omaha but went down both times by scoves of 11 to nd S to 7. Two games vith the Models of Council Bluffs, resulted ina paiv of eus walkaways for the Dorseys, the scores being 15 to Y and 10 to 3, Will Kimmell, pitcher and_captain, is a man who inspires his team by example. He is “nervy” and begets confidence in all his men. He began his buseball career at North Bend four or five vears ago when he aud his brother Jitm constituted the battery of a club which made an enviable record, They were experts at fanning out the amateurs. Kim mell is a good all-round player and frequently covers fivst to good advantage.

He began carcer at Cedar Bluffs, He then played with the old Fremont (irays ono season. Last year he went to Scattle and played a short timein the Oregon state league. Jim Collins occupies first for the Dorseys. Last year he started out brilliantly but ‘he fell down before the season was through and dida’t sustain the record he promised at the beginning to make. He can wield the willow with telling effect Jolly Frank Roberts, the “orator,” is one of the best known players in Fremont. He began his playing in lowa where he did spme good work for two or th e leading ama. teur teams of that state, He playsZsecond well and covers home-plate to good advant age when occasion demands it. ~ He is a good batter and base-runner, Graut Turner is a strong man at third, Ho is lithe and willowy and never grows weary or loses his head. ~ He is a_splendid base- runner and o bard hitter. Frequently he oc- cupies the box with deadly effect, his_ doivn- shoots going like & ball fired out of a cannon. Andy Signor's forte is behind the bat and at third, and when he isat either of these points are held down to the queen's taste, though a tendency to short throwing to sec- and from home makes him a better man for third thar under the mask. Platt Haven has won his laurels in fleld. He s a good batter and and a splendid thrower. Lep Maller played his points on the in or outfleld, just as exigencies demanded, and ho never failed to play them well.

Center Fielder Snyder's work was highly commended lasv year. He played ouly a few games with the Dorseys but these were al- most without an error. Ea Ludwig is a player it is safe tobank on. Ho began his semi-professional career five years ago whea he_ viayed backstop for the 'remont Grays. Since that time hehas been a main stay in the Arlington club and been a valuable reserve for the Dorseys. 'Gene Baxter plays short with a skill that always wins plaudits with the grand stand.
