Mr.. Stuart went across the river yes
terday when it is said that he met a
representative ON the Mexican govern
ment in regards to his proposed plan
10 open up an arena in JuareZ. So fer
as could be learned nothing definite
was decided although the matter was
talked over at some length Mr..
Stuart was a welcomed visitor in FL
Paso where he has scores of friends.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Stuart
was in FL Paso for some time previous
to the Fitzsimmons-Maher fight few
years ago. He is the same jovial Dan
and was around the city several times
yesterday always getting the glad hand.
He expressed himself as greatly sur
pr1sed at the wonderful growth Ell
Paso has had in the past few years.
Coming Foot Ball Games.
The foot ball squad was out in force
yesterday afternoon to practice and the
way they went at their work was in
deed encouraging to the manager and
coach The boys will have a hard
game when they go up against the
University of Texas on the nineteenth
and they mean to train for the event
as they have never trained before.
Brown is home from Mexico and adds
greatly to the strength of the team.
He will take Stephens's place at half
back, Stephens going to end The
boys are learning new plays and for
nations and hope to give the Univer-
sity boys one of the hardest fights that
they have ever had this season.
The team will leave next Saturday
night for Las Cruces where they will
play on Sunday against the combined
city and college team. 1t will be
hard game for the boys but they are
confident of victory again and it will
tend to keep them in training for the
big Texas game. If the Texas game
is success financially as it now prom
ises to be, Ell Paso will have foot ball
be but one more foot ball game in Ell
Paso this season. The people have
not patronized the game as they
should and the boys have lost money
on every game and are not in debt not
only to their coach. but for their suits
and to the association for the grounds.
They still owe for the advertising of
the last game but they hope to clear
enough out of the Texas game during
the Carnival to nav all outstanding

Ell Paso's Great Baseball Victory in
Mexico.
The baseball team has returned
from the City of Mexico where they
took the crack team for the capital
OF the republic into camp for five
straight games. The boys are loud
in their praise of the Mexico people
for the treatment they received.
Nothing was too good for us down
there said Zinzer, the little third
baseman who set Mexico on fire by his
wonderful playing. According to the
Mexican Herald Zinzer time and again
would rob the Mexico boys of what
seemed sure safe hits by his quick and
accurate playing. He also batted like
a fiend.
Mexico was again easy for the crack
Ell Paso team on Tuesday when the
two teams met for the fifth and final
game of the series. Ell Paso won ey-
cry game by good margins and the
team was complimented on all sides iii
the City of Mexico for it's brilliant and
gentlemanly playing.
