Park City, March "a little of that
old-time spirit which in the past years
or athletics has put Park City at the
head of the list in all contests she en-
tered. was again demonstrated this
! week at the meeting called for the pur-
pose of organizing a ball club in Park
city Tor the coming season. and an
organization was perfected which puts
Park City in a position to say to Eu-
Feka, the only town which has ever
been more than pastime for Parks
team: we are ready and anxious to
enter into an agreement for a series
OF games which shall decide the anna
teur championship.
New Club Organized.
The meeting was held i'm the office
OF James NJ. Lockhart, and was one OF
the sort which inspires support. 10
seph Brandt, president of the club last
year called the meeting to order and
stated the purpose of the assembly
He then called for the views of those
present, with the object of finding the
pest way to tremendously conduct a
team here. as in the past the only rea-
son Parks team failed to win was ow-
ing to team disagreement and a desire
on the part of some members TO be the
whole thing. The direction of the bust
ness end of the matter. too was talked
over extensively, and a suggestion was
offered. which prevailed as a motion
that there be a board Of trustees an
pointed whose duty it shall be to man
age from first to last, and under whose
direction manager for the team was
to be appointed. Fourteen names were
placed before the house, and the fol-
lowing were chosen as the board which
VIII manage the destiny of the 1905
championship team of Park City: Hen
~ Spriggs, Henry Welsh, James NJ.
Lockhart, J. W. Quinn, a. r. Weeter,
Joseph Brandt and Frank Daley.
This board will at once get to work
on the business in hand and in a short
time viii appoint the man who viii
have the management of the team
When this is done, efforts will be made
and inducements offered to secure the
best amateur players in the country
to locate in Park City for the summer.
The matter is in the right shape. and is
being taken along in the right man
ner and cannot fail to succeed
The new Athletic association has a
meeting this week to complete ar
engagements for the final work to be
done in the completion of arrangements
now pending for the building of a GYM
nasium in Park City. The club hav-
ing the matter under consideration has
been working toward this end for some
time and has tried to secure other
buildings in Park City. but seems to be
unable to do so, and accordingly they
have decided to take up the matter of
building
y good gymnasium is one Of the
things which town needs, and needs
badly. and now that the matter of
securing one is progressing so, 1T is
the hope of all here that the move
may be successful.
For membership in the above under
taking petition was circulated, and
the names of the prospective members
were placed on it with the amount of
each initiation and fees for the month
Since the singing of the agreement
there have been several meetings held
and progress reported, and at the next
meeting it is expected matters will be
arranged.
