Keith's "Buekerlnos" made good yester day afternoon at Lake Manawa by winning the opening game of the Iowa-South Da kota league season In this city from Le mars by a score of S to 4. Both teams put up a very good exhibition of base ball, but the crowd was small. The small crowd was probably due to the fact that it was doubtful in the morning whether the dlai mond was in a fit condition after the heavy rain of Tuesday. The proposed parade was dispensed with, but Mayor Morgan was on hand and opened the game by pitching the first ball, which Umpire Banther called a strike. The fea ture of the game undoubtedly was the pitching of Raymond for the Bluffltes. The score: R H E. Co. Bluffs...
