Since the Lewiston baseball team was
defeated so badly last Saturday by Wells
vile, it is claimed by Wellsville that they
hold the championship of Cache valley.
They considered Lewiston the strongest
team in this end of the valley AT the
beginning of the season Lewiston defeated
Preston. but since that time Wellsville
has defeated Lewiston and Preston has
defeated Millville. which in turn defeated
Welisville, so the Preston baseball team
claims the championship of Cache valley
for the season of 1906, and are ready a
any time to defend that title against all
Corners.
The Preston baseball team goes to Gar
land today to cross bats with Garland.
Most of the games of the Preston team
from now till the close of the season will
be with outside teams, they having won
the championship of the valley for thl'
season Negotiations are being carried on
to arrange a series of games with the fol-
lowing teams: Pocatello. Soda Springs.
Brigham City, Malad, Idaho Falls and
Montpelier.
