Roosevelt. Ariz.. Aug. 30.-(Special correspondence of The Republican.)- The Roosevelt baseball team. which did such splendid playing l year ago, and which went through that entire season without a lost game to its credit, has been reorganized and will pay its first game for the present season with the Mesa baseball team at the Mesa ball grounds on next Saturday afternoon. The Roosevelt team will leave here On Friday morning. by special stage ar living il. Mesa Friday night.

Sev- eral local enthusiasts will go down with the team. the entire bunch re- turning on Monday.
