WILL IT TRAIN HERE
National League Teams Look
Toward Raleigh.
# is Thought That Ehher The BOstOr New
York or Brooklyn Team Will
Train Here.

There will be an effort made to have
League practice here during the winter
and spring.
The matter is now being considered by
several of the league teams, and they
are making inquiries rs TO Raleighs
availability for such a purpose.
The following letter was received here
from Mr.. j. Fl. Royal, the New York ticket
agent of the Seaboard Air Line Railway.
1t was received here by Mr.. c. II. Gattis
the ticket agent at this place, who is
a baseball crank of the most incurable
type, and who will make every effort
to have the team brought here to prac-
tice The letter was as follows: How
would Raleigh like to have one OF the
National League teams practice there
during the winter or spring? | have been
asked by the president of the lague to
fad out as much about Raleigh as L
can. What kind of ground have they. How
is the weather after March 1st? Do you
think many people would turn out TO see
tie game? What kind of a team could
Raleigh put up against them in practice? =?
II think we will be able TO get either
Brooklyn, New York. or Boston, to go
there if the facilities of Raleigh are as
good as the average Southern city. They
seem to like that part of the State.
The letter was yesterday shown to a
number of those most likely to be in
t. rested in such a venture. All seemed
TO think that there was no reason why
Tie team should not come here.
Mr.. Perrin Busbee said that he was
sure the arrangement could be perfected,
as Raleigh furnished every advantage any
other city of the State does the people
here are fond of baseball and never fail
TO give good crowds. A team can be got
ten up, composed of members of the A.
and NJ team and Raleigh boys, that
could give the visitors all the desired
practice The weather will admit of games
during a large part of the winter and
after March 1st there is very little time
In which games may not be played
Mr. F. w Habel, Mr. Sherwood Higgs
and others who were interested in the
baseball association that was organized
in Raleigh last summer were seen. They
all were very desirous of having the
teams come here, and saw no reason why
it could not be accomplished.
The points in Raleigh's favor are as
follows:
[. Mild and equable weather, even
drring winter months.
3 The presence of a college team. al
ready organized and which has excellent
grounds.
5. An enthusiasm for the game among
the Raleigh people.

It Was to Laugh Last Night.

''Mr. Young, of Utah, kept things in
a roar at Metropolitan Hall last night.
He was just chock full of all sorts OF
fun and frolic, and the audience appre-
ciated every bit of it. The play is q
farce comedy of the most pronounced
sort, and keeps up the pace from start
to finish. You have no time to think;
you just laugh and laugh, and then
begin all over again. Needless to say,
Mr.. Woodward was splendid in the
title role, creating a perfect gale OF
merriment. His support was excel
lent, as usual.
The specialties by Mr. Woodward
and Miss Woodruff were of high or
der. and filled the intervals between
the acts very acceptably.
Tonight, the Irish play, Kathleen
Mayourneen, will be given, and ladies
will be admitted free again upon one
paid ticket.
