amy hour may bring me a tele-
gram that four crack eastern players
have packed their grips and started
for Phoenix" was the welcome an
nouncement Manager Dave Goldberg Of
the Phoenix Browns had for local
fans this morning.
Il telsgraphed these men yesterday
TO come. They are pitcher catcher,
third baseman and outfielder. All OF
them have been playing during the
summer in one of the middle states
leagues.
With these four men, some we al
ready have in Phoenix and others who
are ready TO come at moments no
tice hope TO have a fast team ready
TO. tne Tucson tournament, which ; G.
sius October 90"
For the past two days Manager
Goldberg has felt that the people of
Phoenix are going TO furnish the
money with which to get ready a ball
team, and he is proceeding with all
possible haste to give the city a team.
In few hours yesterday afternoon
the subscription committee, consist
ing OF Manager Goldberg. George P.
Driscoll and DIR. E. W. Vickers and
Harry Kennedy increased the total
donations to close to 81 1000.
There are still a large number of
fans and enthusiasts to see. and the
committee has every reason to be-
lieve that before it abandons the field
between 81 500 and $1,000 will have
been subscribed.
The ready response of Phoenix peo-
pie to the request of the committee
for funds has been the cause for
much remarks by each of them. But
two people In the city whom they APP
preached refused to subscribe.
From sources which were not ex-
peeted to donate, money was forth
coming. helping to swell the total,
which now promises to be sufficient
to give Phoenix one of the best ball
teams in the territory.
Now that he has money with which
to meet expenses that may be in
CURED. Manager Goldberg hopes TO
have a team in daily practice within
the next ten days All of the local
men viii be tried out, and those who
are fast enough WIN be given posi-
lions they can best fill.
Manager Goldberg as already one
fair player. who came to the city with
the Ringing circus, and after he ar.
rived in Phoenix decided that this
was the city in which he wants to To-
cate. He will be given a chance to
SHOW what he can do within, the next
few days.
As soon as he can find a suitable
position for him. Manager Goldberg
will bring ban Barnett. the crack
pitcher. here from Prescott. Anyone
having position open for Barnett
should communicate with Goldberg,
Several OF the players now with the
Douglas. Cananea and Tucson teams
have written Manager Goldberg that
they would like to come here for the
winter season after the close Of the
Tucson tournament Manager Gold
berg figures that he must have a team
before that time.
Today the baseball situation looks
better in Phoenix than It has at any
time since the Browns were organ
lied. The assurance that there is GO
ing to- be funds with which to meet
expenses makes 1t possible for Man
ager Goldberg to carry out the plans
he has made for several weeks. but
had to hold back until he saw where
tbe money IS coming from.
