The Outcome Of The
ham pionship
tournament

Snow storms in the north and sand
-torms in this section are causing some
delay, but all the clubs Of the southwest
will soon bebusilv engaged in practice.
Owing to the fact that there will be no
Immediate start On the tournament
games it has been thought expediens
to do away with the preliminary series
There will be opportunityin the semi
f aals and finals to settle the ques
ti0n of diamond supremacy, and some
of the managers are in favor of but one
series lasting during the summer and
1.-THE winner of that take the fag.
This matter will be attended to, as
every wish of the different clubs Will
be respected as far as possible. The
opinion of the balance of the managers
is expected and decision will be
reached that will prove satisfactory to
all concerned. 1t will be grand fight
from start to finish and the fact that
the many managers are SO deeply in
terested in every movement proves
that 1t is bound to be a winner.
EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS
This is the amount that has bee q
raised by the base ball club of Tucson,
a town not half the size of Ell Psso. and
they will have a crackerjsck. team.
They are after the championship this
year in earnest and any one beating
them out will have to hustle.
White. Armstrong and Lamp
kin have signi6ed their will
ingness to make the trip to
Mexico with the Ell Paso colts. With
such strong trio added to our club
the Mexico ball tossers Will have TO
step lively to have a chance.
LOCAL PUFFS
The colts are anxious to 60 up
against any old kind of diamond ex-
perts and are conaden. that they can
down each aud all of them. Their coz
6deuce will go great way toward
downing opponents and the willing
ness and faithful attention to practice
will make than hart game for the
bsst OF the out OF town ball players.
Jacoby, Irwin, Johnson, Sullivan and
Noyes practice daily and the others
take crack at the little sphere on
every possible occa sion. Johnson, a
nav man from Central Texas, Is show
ing up in good form. We have two
Lo1gs for duty on the slab and with
'3yke" Young in the game once more
it is well to look out for Ell Paso.

ling band OF leather swatters,is already

THE MEXICO TRIP.
The trip to Mexico Is still attracting
much attention aud in thas city those
are working haro to have
Ell Paso's representatives in the Mex
10 ~ capital. Their management has
received the letter from this city and
know what is needed to have the GER
les sure thing. The Mexican Herald
says:
The question of whather or not the
Ell Paso team Visits this city Is now up
TO those interested In the National
game in Mexico. 1t has been estima-
the team from Ell Paso to this city ard
return, including expenses while in the
city would be in the neighborhood OF
800. This entire amount could uu-
doubtedly be obtained from the sale OF
tickets for the series of three games
1t is thought, however, by many inte-
rested in the project, that week from
the coming Friday would be better
date to have the visitors arrive. as it
will give more time to work the matter
up, and see if the necessary number
Of tickets could be disposed Of
meeting will be held today for the
purpose of discussing the matter. and
the general opinion seems to be that
the scheme can be successfully carried
out. and that the public will be treated
to three of the best games of ball ever
played in the republic.
The local business men ohoulo take
much interest in this trip, as it means
much to Ell P8sc. A return series
played here would be great attrec-
tion and bring thousands Of visitors
from the City of Mexico.
