A BASE BALL CLUB
LeaVenWortlI is 20 Have Strong Or
ganiZaiion=-Re Ready 10 Meet
All Corners

One day this week John B. Adams,
who by the way,is baseball enthusiast,
took it into his head that this town
ought TO have base ball team, as there
was sufficient good material out Of
which to form two very good mines All
that was required was for some one to
take hold and push the thing along.
He started out Tuesday morning and
by Wednesday night he succeeded in
raising seventy-nine dollars to defray
expenses of securing suitable grounds,
balls. bats, masks, pads, bag and pins,
and such other paraphernalia as is nee
essary to make first-class outfit. All
these things have been ordered and will
be here in time to have the first game
next Sunday.
A lease has been obtained on an ideal
ball ground for the season. 1t is loca-
ted in the valley north of the track,
Just beyond the Bloom residence. AL
ready con siderable work has been done
on the ground to put it in good shape.
1t is the purpose to erect elevated seats
for spectators and make a small charge
for seats. Just enough TO pay ex-
penses.
A meeting is called for tomorrow
night TO elect officers at Heating 5
hardware store.
Before the summer is old it is the in
tention to play several match games
with clubs of neighboring towns. On
ly little practice the boys think will
put them in shape to dispute honors
with all who may offer to meet them
on the ball ground.

could bring at good price and by feed
