LEAvENwoRTH's PLANS.
Ball Team for Next Year Will Be
Strong.

Strong.
Leavenworth is laying plans for its
baseball team in the Western associa-
ton for 1905, which promise to pan
following is from Fridays Times:
Much may be said regarding the
outlook of the local club for next sea-
son. When reporter saw Mr.. Bub,
president of the local club yesterday
that gentleman said:
The outlook for the club next year
is exceedingly bright. Our finances
are in fourishfng condition, we have
number of good players reserved,
have signed some new ones of known
caliber and are trying to get all the
good men we can to come here in the
spring for a try-out.f With the expert
ence gained last year we hope to be
able to conduct the affairs of the club
avoid many of the STUN bling stones
encountered g. yeHr ago.. We will have
a good team, one of the very best in
the circuit and we feel that Leaven-
worth will back a team of that kind"
+ Catchers Corbin and Ulrich, recog-
nized as the Dremiers of the league
last year, are reserved and will report
early in the year. Corbin will captain
the team, In the pitchers box will be
seen Ford, Tanning, Nelson, Achison
and probably Gates. The owners of
the club have strings out on two other
really good pitchers who will be here
for try-outs.
Elmer Smith is under reserve to
play at first base. a second baseman
has been signed, but the, club owners
do not wish to have his name used. A
short-stop has also been given a con-
tract to play and another man is in
prospective and may come. Lyons will
report to play at third base.
In the outfield Rapps, Nickel and a.
new man named Alloway are under
contract to play. 1t is probable that
the big center fielder of last year,
Nickel. will be here again though he
is to be given a trial with Kansas
City.
st. John, Boss and Henley are other
men under contract at present and
one or two other men are also under
agreement to show up for the spring
try-out, but their names are being
with held.

Graney to Referee No More.

San Francisco, Dec. 3.-Eddfe Ora
ney has announced his retirement as a
referee of professional fights. He says
his health is not good, and has not
been for some time, and for that rea-
son he has decided to keep out of the
ring in the future. Graney's retire.
ment comes at a very opportune time,
as there was strong probability of a
clash between Britt and Nelson over
the selection of the referee for the
coming battle. Britt wanted Graney,
but Nelson held out for Roche. 1t is
now likely that Roche will get the
place.
