The base ball season will be opened next Thursday afternoon when the team from Kearney will test the strength of the local Union Pacifies at athletic park in this city. Both teams begin the season in fine form and the game will be a snappy one from start to f i n is It. It is understood that Ilofmcistcr will occupy the box for Kearney. In the game at Grand Island Sn n day between the team of that city andjthe Hanover, (Kas.) team, Ilof mcistcr struck out thirteen men. This is evidence that he is a pretty smooth man. The Union Pacific?, however, will go into the game with a determination to win, and excellent work may be expected of them.
