The Prospects Of Having a
Strong Home
Team
BRIGHTER EVERY HOUR
Colts Show Up In Good Form
On the Santa Fe Dia-
mond This After
noon

The prospects for a first class base
ball club in Ell Paso seem to grow
brighter every day and this city will
surely have a orackerjack aggregation
of leather chasers in the race for the
southwestern championship.
A team of locals is to be organized
Sunday evening which will be strength
ened by enough outside talent to make
it formidable opponent to any team.
Noyes. ouug, Hackett, Bulger, Marx
ley and johnson have signif1ed their
willingness to play with the team
which is to take the name of a large
| business house that has nation al
equation.
Their idea as far as can be learned
is to lay out parl, on the line of the
Mag fin avenue street cars that will
be accessible TO the public. This
should prove a good move in the inter-
est OF the game, as two clubs would nos
be too many for a city Of our ze.
Tucson opens Its season tomorrow
with a game with the university boys,
a fact that proves conclusively that
they have no Intentions of getting lefs
on account of late start.
The Phoenix high school boys are
organizing clubs and will challenge
any other school team. What is the
m after with Ell Paso's high school
cadets? Their opportunities for dis
tinction on the diamond never were
batter and q littla anorpy I'm tbair n,-.
would bring this city to tie front in
every line of honest, healthful sport.
Wake up, boys! D,n't lsf Ell Paso
bring up the rear.
