Base Ball Talk.

Tom Seaton is showing up fine in left
field and the team will use him to good
advantage during the season.
The boys would like to arrange to
play Montrose or any other Western
Slope team soon. Correspondence solic-
tied.
Every one is in hopes that the weather
will permit the boys getting down to
good, hard work soon. The cold after
moons of late have been drawback to
good team work.
Anyone who can give position to a
ball player is requested to inform the
Manager or Captain Grayson. There
are two or three good men who will
come here if they can secure work.
Whitaker is rounding into shape but
is carrying little too much avordupois.
Some of the excessive will have to dis
appear. Warmer weather will probably
bring about the desired result.
Boss Beckley is back from Rifle and
will probably stay. If he does the ball
team will secure his work for the team
this season. Boss is good player and
adds support to any team he affiliates
with.
There should be move made to form
a Western Slope League. Delta, Mont
rose, Ouray, Telluride and Grand juno
ton managers should get together OF
into correspondence about the matter
at once. Base ball is clean. healthful
sport and is the genuine American
game. Few are there who do not love
to see good game of baseball. A
league would facilitate arrangement of
games and create an interest which
would lag otherwise. Galloway OF
Montrose might start the ball rolling.
