Five of the members of the Ely
baseball team arrived last night after
spending a week In Utah and Idaho.
Those who returned home were Con
ners, Jensen, Dickerson, Upton and
Fesler. The baseball players state
that they had the time of their lives.
and cannot say enough in praise of
the royal treatment afforded them by
the people of Ogden.
7 Ely was well advertised, and the
boys didn't overlook an opportunity
to boost the greatest copper camp

PEOPLE of the great resources of the
camp. While in Ogden 1t was not
necessary to start the conversation
about Ely, as nearly every person
they met had a dozen questions to
ask, and tie ball players proved ex-
cellent instructors, gladly giving the
people all the information they de-
sired. The vast mineral resources of
the county, the great development

II suppose you heard the result of
the games. The best games we
played were with Preston. Both
were fine contests, and had it not
been for an error on the part of one
of the boys we would have won that.

Mr.. Dickerson said that Stockton
went to Portland, Ore, and will en-
deavor to bring a couple of ball
players Lack with him. Fulmer and
Bosquit will return to Ely tonight.
They stayed over in order to make ar
ranSements for return games here.
Preston will very likely send its
team here to cross bats with the local
boys on the Ely diamond. The Ely
team intends to recover lost honors.
and is anxious to meet the Idaho
players on the local diamond.
Judging from the remarks of some
of the players, they weren't received
with open arms by Salt Lake and
Preston. Salt Lake didn't put itself
out any to entertais the Ely people,
and Preston didn't do any better.
Ogden, however, made up for what
the other cities didn't do.
