BASE BALL PROSPECTS.
Proposition to Establish Western
Circuit For Next Year Meets
With Favor.

The suggestion made by The
Press some weeks ago, with refer
ence to the organization OF a
Western base ball circuit, seems
to be meeting with favor and it
is very likely that such an ar
rangement will be perfected
1t is now proposed to effect a
combination with Ballinger,
Brentwood, Lampasas and Tenn
ple and arrange a schedule that
will include these towns with Sun
Angelo OF course to make it
sue ;essful and self sustaining
each OF the places named will
have TO provide park.
Such an arrangement would be
much more satisfactory than the
uncertainty of the past season
and would not involve the man
agement, as heretofore. There
would be a specific number of
games, and preparations could be
made accordingly. The cost of
securing visiting teams would not
be so great and each town would
share alike in the expense thus
incurred. To illustrate: With
out such arrangement, if San
Angelo desired game with
Brentwood, the expense of get
ting the team here would amount
to about $35, whereas with the
proposed schedule Ballinger
would be included in the circuit,
and would be liable for the ex-
pense of the visiting team to that
point, where u series of games
would be- played and San Angelo
would only have to bear the eX-
pense from BallInger to this

Hearst BUYS MeGonaeiI's Horse.

Clay McGonagil's famous COW
pony Frisky, the handsome sorrel
that won 80 much praise from the
crowds during the past week, and
which undoubtly won first money
for its expert master, has been
sold to William Randolph Hearst
for $500. The zeal was made yes
terday by Hon. w. S. Hopewell
for Hearst, who gave his check
for the amount named to J Il.
Carroll, McGonagils partner.
The horse is now in the Trimble
stable waiting to be forwarded
under orders of the famous news
paper proprietor.
Frisky is great horse and has
won number of roping contests
for McGonagil The champions
fast time last week was only made
possible by the speed of his mount,
which gave him a great advan-
tage over the others with the
speedy steers entered, and in
many other tournaments the sor-
rel has done wonders.
w. r. Hearst and his party of
Congressman were at the fair
grounds Thursday when McGona-
gil won first money with his Be-
seconds rope and tie. The Con-
gresham from New York was so
delighted with the animal he de-
termined to buy him. An offer
was made to McGonagil, but it
was declined Saturday night,
however, Mr.. Hopewell received u
telegram from w. II. Ihmsen,
Mr.. Hearst's manager, instructed
him to buy the horse at any cost.
Mr.. llopewell, making the best
deal he could, secured the animal
for $500.
1t is not known as yet where
Mr.. Hearst will send the animal.

It is good index of the character,
public spirit and patriotism of a town
when it's citizens will vote with almost
complete unanilnity to place large
tax upon themselves for the purpose
of lettering their home conditions and
the town, as have the tax payers of
Southern Pines. Already burdened
with heavy taxation, thay placed adj
ditional ones upon themselves, being
! wise and far-sighted enough to see that
these OUTLAWS of money are later to
bring returns that shall compensate
them, perhaps a hundred fold, for
all their expenditures.
This is all in marked contrast to
that penu1ious policy followed in some
other towns where even large minori-
ties set their faces like flint, not only
against taxation for improvement,
but throw all possible obstacles in the
way of those who are laboring for the
bette1ment of the town.
The story goes of a newspaper mau
who went to a thriving town in
Maine and started his paper, and one
of his first acts was to try to belittle
every improvement that had been
made Then he became an opposer of
every new attempt made along the
line of improvement, and such was
the strenuousness of this opposionist
that he soon had the people by
the ears, all the warning clemens
were rife, strife and discord took the
place Of harmony, until this man
seemed to revel in his nefarious work.
But little by little his real character
was revealed, and then they cast him
out.
That there are to be found in some
the growing towns Of North Carolina
the counterpart to such, or similar
conditions as existed in this Maine
town, cannot be gainsaid. Start
in any such, any improvement, care
not what its nature may be, and i'm
an opposition develops it.
