Base Ball.

A plan is on foot looking to the organ
ization Of q penant-winning base ball
team in Idaho Springs this summer, and
the men who are promoting the scheme
are confident that they can get such a
bunch Of players together. While the
matter is in somewhat of an embryonic
state as yet, still the men who have the
matter in charge never lay down when
attempting any kind of a proposition, and
if they cannot make it work, there is no
use of anyone else tackling it. The one
great drawback is the fact that suitable
grounds are so far away from the center
of population for an inland town, and
this naturally would detract from the at
tendance. II was at first thought that
grounds could be procured on Filtration
Heights. but when the location was
finally lookec over it was found that too
much expense was involved in putting
the ground in suitable condition for ball
purposes. so the brick yards below town
was fallen back upon. There is abund.
auce of frst-class material at hand from
which to select winning team, and it
only lacks leader to project the propo-
sition.
