The Ell Paso Country club had the
final try-outs Sunday for members de-
string to go to Douglas and play on
the team representing Ell Paso in the
contest with the Country club of that
city next Saturday. The contest Sun
day was under the direction of A. W.
Houck, chairman of the committee on
sports and pastimes of the Country
club, and the team Is 10 be composed
of the twenty highest men who are
able TO go. Some of the best players
of the local team will be unable 10
make the trip and the Ell Pasoans are
expecting to have to fight hard for a
victory.
The Douglas grounds will be new
to the FL Pasoans, the rules there are
different and more stringent. the
greens are said to be not so fast, and
several things will initiate against
the El PaSoans, particularly the fact
that Douglas will be able to rally all
her best players on the home grounds.
while some of Ell Paso's best men can
not get away, but that was the way
with Douglas when her team played
here, and it will be as fair for one as
for the other-but Ell Paso need not
expect a brilliant victory this time,
even if the local players are not de-
feated.

When Mr.. Douglas was here Sun
day playing in the bogie handicap
match he expressed a wish that there
might be a large representation OF
the Douglas Country club members
and ladies who would make use of the l
special train he was planning 10 go
up to Bisbee and aid the members of
the new club in. entertaining their
visitors.
1t is probable that as result of the
now making there will be
a large delegation from here, especial
ly as the hour for the start of the spe-
cial is so conveniently arranged.
In addition to this there is talk of
raising purse for match between
John Adams and the El Paso profes-

match will be one well worth witness |
