PHOENIX BASEBALL
 CLUB ORGANIZED
IL Will be Conducted on a Cooperative Basis. and IS Designed For Perma- nent Institution.

The preliminary meeting was held last night. of a number of fans and ball players. whose purpose is the organ ization of the Phoenix Baseball Club. That is to be its official name and il is proposed to make it permanent institution of the city. governed by written rules and regulations and on a cooperative basis. IL is the design of the promoters to pay no salaries. but to keep the treasury as full as pos sible during the entire season. so that in the event of losses the club will ai- ways be able to stand them not having dIssipated the earnings of former sue Cessful engagements. Every man, in- cluding the manager. will share alike iu respect of profits If there are any and the dividends will be declared an- uually In that way there will be something for all to strive for. and when the seasons work is ended if it has been fruitful. the individual mem bers will have enough coming to them Co make il worth while. If there should be no profits all will know that there has been a fair and equitable cam .paign. that this player or that did not NFA d ERNu AAAAAAr bil ptAt SciAiAN OA eAA

 At last nights meeting. which was held in the rooms of the Union Bank and Trust co. Harry West was elect 'd manager and George Lutgerding ieinporary captain. In canvass of those present from which the nucleus 1f a team could be formed. several players announced their willingness TO cooperate and several others are in mind. Byron Hartwell who in other days was accounted a fine pitcher. said he would do his part. and Avery of the Troy laundry. one of the crack players .f the old Phoenix team. the best the city ever had. said he could be de- pended on. George Lutgerding who sas also d member Of that team, will b- in the lineup and Mortie Graham, the crack first baseman of the Ath- letics. and Magoffin who works be- hind the bat in the same team, said they would become members. In addi- tion. il is believed that some good timber can be unearthed that has not
 et been brought 10 the surface local B. IL is reported that there are sev- '-fal players in the city who have won their spurs elsewhere. who have not affiliated with the baseball fraternity since coming here. and it is hoped they may be induced to come forward and confess their guilt.

Well, Phelan's ad writer was in deamland the other night and ne dreamt he saw clique of politicians having meeting at republican head quarters, and he also dreamt he saw another gang at democratic head quarters, and no prayers offered at either meeting. He dreamt he saw on every side he'd look a gang of ward 'heelers" going in and out Of all the saloons, and each time they'd come out they'd be more top heavy, Just as though something they'd re ceived inside each grog shop made them weak just about the knees. We'll, just before he woke up the whole gang were a sorrowful looking sight. They were evidently talking politics and were invited to. nave something" at each place they wis ited and consequently went nome helpless. NOW if each voter would say to himself. I won't drink any thing stronger than Phelan's tea, cof- fee or buttermilk until after election day, they would see a great big change in themselves and they'd pick out better office holders regard less of party. and let us say right here the changes which they would observe would be but drop in the 0. an compared to the change in their health. They'd feel much bet ter, and what's more pleasing, the whole family would be richer, hap pier. healthier and more comforta- ble. Now if such would be the case why not everybody begin and drink what we sell and see how much nicer 1t is than what the other fel- lows sell. Remember our store is
