ELY BASEBALL TEAM
TO TAKE LONG TRIP.
The greatest advertisement in the
world for any city or section is a
successful baseball team, and Ely
certainly has one; and, in order to
keep the club up to Its high-class
it is very necessary that
the public should contribute to its
support. The members of the club
give their time and efforts toward
the UNFOLDING of the honor of Old
Ely, and it is no more than right
that the fans should come through"
with their loyal support. The team
has in contemplation trip
throughout the state, and if it is
to be of any benefit to Ely, then we
should reciprocate and help the team
along in a financial way.
Manager Fessler, of the Ely base
ball team, is in receipt of letter
from Mr.. Toll, of the Nevada North
ern, in which the latter fixes a round
trip rate for the club to Reno, Gold
field and Tonopah, which places they
will include in their comings trip.
The itinerary is not as yet COM
plete, but it is expected that they
will also take in Carson and Vir-
ginia City on their trip, besides play
ing Elko and Winnemucca on the re-
turn trip.
The boys are very enthusiastic
over the trip, and may be expected
to give good account of themselves.
Jake Beckley is making a great
showing with Kansas City, where he
went when McCloskey of st. Louis
was done with him. Here is the
way New York paper eulogizes
Jake:
"Beckley is the best example of
coming to life in baseball today.
If you don't believe it watch him hit
with that Kansas City team. He has
been condemned to the minors a doz-
en- times almost in the last ten years,
but always comes to life with a
start, as the racing man would say"
The Shelter nine is to be REIN
forced by new battery, and in their
next mix-up will present an entirely
new lineup. The new men have been
signed and advance money has been
and in few days it is
expected the men will have arrived
and begin to get in shape for their
first game which will probably be next
Sunday week.

wrapped package at the plate yes

fronted with skinny looking bunch
of celery. That was a crabapple,
sure enough.
Griffith as being severely criticised
in New York for four-f1ushing with
Chase and Chesbro until they missed
their spring training, and then final
ly yielding to their demands any
how. The Highlanders' lowly posi-
ton is attributed to this kind of pol
Icy.
Connie Mack says he got his mon
sy back on Collins the first four days
he had him. 1t is ont generally
known that Jim got bonus from
Mack to sign contract, but such
was the case.
Niles of st. Louis continues at
the head of the American batting list
although the performance of Cobb
Of Detroit is infinitely better, as he
has taken part in double the number
Of games.
Dahlen has played in the big
league for many years, and notwith-
that he is veteran, he
eads the shortstops in the National
and is batting shade under the 800
marke.
Mike DePangher, the old-time
Philadelphia catcher, has gone blind,
and is now back at his home in Stock
,on. He is we'll placed, however, and
has no needs that cannot be supplied
Hal Chase has been hitting the
ball in the last two series at $50
clip, and Is now twelfth on the list
Of the American averages, after a
very bad start.
Detroit continues to slug the ball
harder than any other team, and two
Of their batters are in the show
The Cincinnati Reds claim to have
he best catching department in eth
sr league. Not so bad for our own
Larry.
Nealon's batting has been very
much to the bad of late. He seems
% have bumped into nasty slump.
Three fingered Brown pitched his
'ourth shut-out game of the season
against the Phillies in the last series.
Cravath and Truck" Eagan now
share the honor of making two home
'uns in one day at Recreation park.
Overall thrives on plenty of work

games in the last series with Boston.
Oscar Graham is making good for
who are sadly in need
