We have a strong league and there
is no reason why Peoria should not

team is all made up, but ! will not
announce the names of the PLAYERS
until ! arrive in Peoria, some time
next week. ! think that everyone in
Peoria will be pleased that Ed Terri
en- and George Mutton are to be on
the team. They are both good men
and we are sure that both behind the
bat and hort-stop will be well taken
care of. / have received nothing
out encouragement from the other
cities in the league. They have all
had a rest from base ball for a season
or more. and are all anxious for base
ball once more. Peoria is now a
member of one of the best leagues
that she ever belonged to, and am
confident that she will come to the
front and support the club and show
the other cities in the league that
Peoria is ball town when you give
her q good league and club.
