| Description | A Base Ball Club is being organized in Alexandria. If any of our readers are anxious for hard work on hot days, with excellent chances for broken noses and jaws thrown in, and all for fun, we advise them to join the club. Not any for us. We are drawing a pension now on a broken finger received in the service (Post, April 8, 1871) The Alexandria Base Ball Club will play their first game on this (Saturday) afternoon at four o'clock. We are requested to ask a full attendance of all who are interested in the game. We have not yet been informed who has been appoineted surgeon to the club. All well organized clubs down East now have a surgeon and an undertaker attached (Post, June 17, 1871) The "Sooner" Base Ball Club of Alexandria has forworded a challenge to the St. Cloud club to play a game for the Upper Country Championship. Considering its six weeks' organization we consider this rather plucky on the part of our club. The first nine is composed of tip-top materrial, and the club that "gets away" with them after a few weeks practice, will have to perspire freely (Post, July 15, 1871) no further base ball news in 1871 Alexandria had a population of 503 in 1870; 1,355 in 1880 and a high of 11,070 in 2010. The town is about 130 miles NW of Minneapolis. |
