 igia in the city for making several
 ssod teams evenly matched, with the
 rfctly professional talent restricted
 from membership. The teams will play series of games, so that each ieap in the league will have played a, least once all the other teams therein. wi,h championship to be held out for
 be best team in the league at tae close Of the season, which will no doubt re. Quire some special games to decide which IS the best, especially if some of ihe prominent merchants, etc, will pu, up suitable pennant for the cham. pon., which they no doubt will. The teams comprising the league for ihe present are as follows: The "Goais,' representing tne K. of P. lodge; the "Chain Gang" represent. Ig thc l. o. o. 'F. lodge; the "Elks, |" reptc'enting that lodge; the "wood. men, representing the NJ. W. A.; the "Ele'trics.' representing the Prescott Electric Company, and the "santa fe, composed of office men only), iepfe'cnting the s. F., P. & P. Railway Co. lf more teams are taken into the league, and undoubtedly there will he. l, will be necessary to start a move nent for Saturday Cor some other week day) afternoon closing. In this event, there would be two double headers weekly, bringing all of the teams in h' league out every week. Double. header games will be of five innings on.
