The interest that is now taken 10 this
city by the lovers of the great sport of
base ball is surprising anu encourag.
ing to those behind the guns. The
date of the next game Is being eagerly
awaited and without a doubt the en-
closure at Athletic park will be packed
to the gates. Chihuahua will un-
| donbiedly be the opponent of the colts
| next Sunday and II they visit this city
the game will be battle royal. The
Blues, as the Mexican team is known,
is a crack aggregation of players,
some OF the fastest of our minor
leaguers being enrolled on their sal
ary list. To down them the colts will
have to hustle, and hustle like a circus
advance agent, for it is surely
crackerjack galaxy of ball tossers.
The colts have their usual amount
OF con nfidence. however, and say they
will give the visitors deeper color of
blue than they brought with them 1t

perfected tonight aud an announce

The colts will be stronger than ever
when they tackle Chihushua.
Team work is what will be attempted
by the colts in their future practice.
Cyclone" Young is still absent,
though expected to join the. ranks of
the colts over two weeks ago.
Have one eye always open for the
base ball announcements. Should YOU
miss game, it would always bs q case
of regret.
The association, by the way, should
get little ginger among themselves.
They are in this game aud should not
fall into another sleep.
Work has not started on the grounds |
this week. It will be begun. however, |
IN DAY or two as the diamond is In a |
