and a committee consisting of DR..
| Avery, j. T.. Aston, w. II. Peabody
and Col. Sellers was appointed to
make canvass of the community for
the purpose of securing the necessary
subscribers to the guarantee fund. In
view, however, of the municipal cam
paign now in progress, it was thought
best not to begin the canvass until
after the city election next Tuesday.
Mr.. Powers said that in the event
Canon City got into the state league,
1O6, or possibly liz games of profess
sional baseball would be played here
during the season, and that If they
were properly patronized at least 15.-
600 people ought to pay to witness
them. He stated that In the course of
a conversation he had a day or two
ago with Frank Seeley, the veteran
baseball man of Pueblo, he had been
assured by the latter that he would
be glad to assist Canon City in every
way he could by his counsel and ad-
vice in case a team was organized
here for the state league. Mr.. Seeley
is one of the best posted men in the
United States on everything that re-
lates to baseball, and he would be in
valuable to Canon City in the capacity
alluded to-
Mr.. Powers expressed himself as
being much pleased with the healthy
sentiment he found here for baseball,
and said that If the enthusiasm was
kept up 1t would be a winner for the
town. He said that he did not believe
that more than so per cent of the pro-
posed guarantee fund would be need
ed, possibly none of 1t, but that 1t
was needed to give the team the re-
quired standing in the league.
Every phase of the matter was ex-
haustively discussed, but no action
was taken beyond the appointment of
the subscription committee already
named. The question OF grounds was,
Of course, considered, but was left un-
decided as several contingencies may
be influential in the determination Of
that question.
Russ Sartor rendered the local base
ball association the free use OF the
room at the rear OF his store for any
gatherings 1t might desire to hold and,
also, extended an invitation to the
members of the proposed baseball

a town or city, was clearly
evidenced last season when Dad"
Grier's team was taking the starch
out of the very best in the state
league The Salida boys were always
ready and willing to go against any
of men who thought they
had a right to put on a uniform and
tumble with the sphere. They could
easily have handled the Denver or
Pueblo league teams. but the oppor-
tunity was not presented and there
fore no such contests were had.
People in all parts of the state soon
came to know that Salida's ball team
was a winner and it was not a COM
mon thing for resident of the city
when abroad to hear persons say: "Oh
yes, | know of your town. You have
a strong baseball team there-one that
can make any OF them work their best.
and work it from start to finish" Sa-
Ida proposes to have just such team
this year. and 1t will be managed by
Charles A. Pheeney, one Of the most
energetic young business men Of the
city, and captalned by Jimmy More
head, one of the "swiftest" little ball
players to ever step up to home plate

CANON CITY LIKELY TO HAVE
PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL

AS the result OF a conference be-
tween John r. Powers of Denver, pro-
moter of the Colorado Baseball league,
and the members of the local associa-
ton, at Russ Sartor's cigar store
Thursday night it has been practically
settled that Canon City is to have a
professional baseball team this year
and that it is to become a member of
the state league.
AS the outgrowth of a correspond
ence between Col. Sellers and Mr..
Powers the latter was requested to
come here and explain the liabilities
and limitations of a membership in
the state league, an invitation that he
accepted. Mr.. Powers was the organ
izer of the Wisconsin State Baseball
league and is now endeavoring to per-
form a like service for Colorado.
He frankly stated that professional
baseball was not to be regarded light
ly; that it was a cold-blooded COM
mercial proposition, and to make it
succeed it must be conducted on busi-
ness lines. 1t was not altogether fun
for the players and those that go into
it must expect to work hard or be dis
carded in favor of somebody else who
would put their utmost energy into It.

Trinidad has already felt the force
OF advertising through Its baseball
team--a team, by the way. which was
but tame play for Grier's nine-and
here is what one OF the daily newspa-
pers of that city has TO say on the
subject OF advertising resulting from
a strong baseball team:
The first of the series OF advertise
ments that Trinidad is sure to get
through her baseball team this sum
mer. appeared in two of the Denver
papers recently, and 1t Is safe to say
that more people will read the two
articles as they are written, than
would read any number of ordinary
advertising write-ups OF the city in
general. That city has sufficient
enterprise and energy to pay first
class ball team TO wear It's colors for
a season, is sufficient guarantee that
1t Is a live one, and that there is
money in the town.
Trinidad is out for the independent
baseball championship of the Rocky
Mountain region. Tho Trinidad Base
ball association. OF which r. william
Paget, the well known hotel man, for
merly of Denver, is president. will
spare neither effort nor expense to
secure what promises to be one of the
fastest diamond aggrcgations which
ever represented a Colorado town. The
Trinidad club, backed by the most in
fiuential business interests OF the city,
has secured the services OF Ed Web
ster. who is well known throughout
the west, to manage and captain the
team.
The season In Trinidad will open
about the first OF May and Webster
will spend the month OF April in Trlni-
dad arranging dates for the opening.
The season Will last hve months with
games every Saturday and Sunday
and on week days when convenient.
In the schedule will be included games
with Telluride. sllverton. Ouray. Grip
pie Creek, Denver clubs. and all other
|aggregations having state champion
ship aspirations.
Webster is to have full charge OF the
club and will be In the game himself.
He will play second base, his favorite
position, unless there Is some more
important gap harder to fll. There
is rumor that most OF the former
Garnita players may accompany Web
ster to Trinidad. but there Is nothing
definitely arranged as yet.
