The Association Declares
Itself For Year
Of
RID hot BASE BALL
Athletic Park Will Soon Re-
sound With The Shouts
Of The Enthusiastic
Fans

The association has opened its eyes.
1t is now fairly awake to the baseball
situation and promises to put a fret
class club in the f Id, which Is . gura-
rantee that the game will soon be
booming in this city. Secretary Park
Pitman said that the grounds would be
placed in condition at once and prepa-
ration made for q lively season. He is
Q great crank and will do his utmost to
make this city the proud possesstr OF
a champion team. Realizing the fact
that the game must be promoted with
out individus 81 friction the orga1izI l.
tion of a club which has beea going on
will fall in line with the new movement.
La union is strength and we must have
the strongest possible aggregation.
Carl Ennis relinquishes his manage
rial position and from now on everyone
is in with one gigantic united move
ment for baseball In 1900.
TIE outlook for base bsll was never
brighter, as there are at least fifteen
ball players in the city today who have
never before cevorted around the
local diamonds. They sre all right 10 .
their positions and have scooped up
hot shot for many professional clubs
manager. They are here now and
eager to rs-enter the fray, believ-
ing that Ell Paso should be the great
est base ball centre of ths southwest
Will they remain?
That is now up to the lovers OF that
glorious sport, the reputation and popu-
larity of which has remained untar-
nishsd for about thirty years. Base
ball is thu great national game OF
America and on ev,ry sand lot from
the Atlantic seaboard to the Pacific
slope aggregations of youthful players
and embryo stars ara s,en tearing the
leather or dashing a-ound the four
sided circuit.
Now the southwest is awake and in
the field to develop few crackerjack
artists. Every city has az least ons
strong team in the fl sli beside q score
OF youn yster combi aatious.

THE MEXICO TRIP.
The sortie across tds border will not
be any furth sr than Jua-ez just at pre-
3 mt, sas the challenge from tue capital
city has ended In huke. The rustlers
at Montezuma's old headquarters can
not rustic the necessary dinero to get
the colts upon the scene. The Mex
loan Herald received here today says:
The scheme of having one of the
Texas teams come to the city for Sc.
ries of games has apparently fallen
and 1t is now hopeless case.
None of the supporters of the game in
the city had the time to m AXE the prel-
[mtnary arrangements and the matter is
now considered closed. 1t Is much to
be regretted that the Ell Paso team
could not have made the trip to the
,ity as it Is extremely doubtful If
here will ever be 81 many good ball
players in the city again as at the pres
,nt time. A majority OF the best men
will leave this month for the states,
Iud the outlook for baseball in Mex
co next season is anything but bright.
Several of their players wish to play
It Ell Paso this season and Syke Young
las been expeote1 back every day.
1e had job offere1 him which has
'een held awaiting his arrival. Shell
on, Hansen, Brick, Weld dbecker,
daokliu and Hogan are in town look-
ng for pls on the Ell Paso team.
We will surely be 10 the swim. Mgr.
fcGrath, of Phoenix, in lstter to the
ournament manager SAWS, "Your plan
I booming the national gams can't be
est." Gallup Is waki 1g up and will
ave game there sunday between
he Clarksville CLUB and H. r. Ath-
etes.
