The ney suits for the baseball 'Seam will llfarriye here some time this week, when baseball is to begin act iyeiSI All the players have begun to get the fever" and every avail able place in the city is used for a practice park. The big open square by the Copper Queen general of fees seems to be the favorite place. and the square in front of the Cop per Queen Store.
 Every afternoon candidates for the team are out playing on convenient places. In front of the White House saloon on Brewery Avenue practice work is done every day, although this place is crowded with teams.
 This afternoon all the candidates for the team will go to Don Luis for a work out on the baseball park. Two teams will be selected from the bunch and play a game.

  borne a good reputation as a base bah town, but this year will proba- bly be the banner year for this sport. Manager Bennett is convinced that he can make the winning team of the Southwest from the material he has, and if the business men will support 1 il as they should. there is every req son to believe Bisbee will hold the prize for baseball.
 IT is not known, at this time wheih- CT Tombstone will get into the game. The baseball park at that city has been torn up, and according to in- formation received here, there is bu; little interest manifested. In the past Tombstone has shown up fairly well on the diamond. There are a num- ber of enthusiastic fans there, but their love for the national game seems to be- dying. --~-r
 Some time this week a dance is to be given at the Opera House for the benefit of the ball team. Angus and Kelly, both candidates for the team and popular with the younger class of the city, will have charge of this. All the money will be turned into the treasury of the ball team to apply on the new suits. In addition about s2OO have been subscribed to help equip the team by business men and firms of the city. IL is expected that when the team gets out on the diamond and wins few games more interest will be shown among the fans here, and there vill be unlimited support.
 Fl Paso seems to be having hard time organizing a team. Frank G. SeIee has been imported to that city hn of He is widely known throughout the west as a baseball manager, and very proficient.
