New Castle, Nov. 2S-There are bright
prospects for good sports of all kinds
next year and lovers of baseball foot
ball and basketball will have an OPP
portunity TO witness some excellent
games.
on Tuesday evening next there Will
be "a meeting of the management of
the New Castle Baseball Club when
an organization to be known as the
New Castle Athletic Association Will
be formed. It's object viii be to promote
Ian legitimate sports and football.
baseball and basketball team win be
organized. The association win also
probably apply for "a charter.
At the meeting ON Tuesday evening
the subject of erecting a fence about
the baseball grounds win be discussed.
Although no definite lacation for groun
grounds has been decided uponit is prob
able that the club will continue TO play
on Battery Park as those grounds ap-
pear to be the most available. IL has
been said that the railroad company
would not permit the erection OF a fence
aSout the grounds. but so far as can
be learned the company has offered no
objections and would probably grant
that privilege If the proper officials are
applied TO.
The question of a hail for basketball
lplaying is one that win require con-
sideration as there is no really suitable
place for conducting the game. Both
the Knights and Red Mems Halls are
too small and now that the Opera
House has been remodeled it is scarcely
possible that the management will per-
init basketball playing there.
The new organization will be COM
posed of men who are. not only lovers
Of sport but who win be willing to put
their hands down IN their pockets IL
the occasion requires. Their object is
not TO make money but to promote
Legitimate sports
