BASE BALL IS
NOW ASSURED
ASSOCIATION TO PROMOTE THE
GAME PERFECTED.
Brownsville Baseball Association Met
Last Night and Completed Organ
ization-Executiye Board Chosen
and Given Full Powers.


The meeting to complete the or
ganizatien of the Brownsville base
ball association was held at the Low
er Rio Grande Valley Commercial
Club rooms last night. There was
fairE- good attendance present and
plenty of enthusiasm displayed and
there is no doubt, from the way the
baseball situation was handled but
what Brownsville will have a crack
team this season.
The report OF the committee APP
pointed Tuesday night to make nom
nations for members of the executive
board was read by Mr. F. Champion,
wiao pTeiaced the reading by stating
that the committee had been guided
largely in making its selections by
the expressions received from those
who attended the previous meeting,
when a secret ballot had been taken
and It was found that two of the COM
mitteemen were practically the unan-
imous choice of those present The
committee recommended Aiessrs. J.
G. Fernandez, J. B. Scott. L. Cobolini,
L. Kowalski and A. A Brown for
members of the executive boArd and
the recommendation was unanimous
~ adopted by the meeting.
The natter of organization of the
board by the election of a president,
secretary and treasurer, who shall
act as officers Of the association was
left entirely in the hands of the
board. That body will also take up
with the players of the team the
question of selecting a captain and
hiring players to fill out the club.
The park question was brought up
and Mr.. Cobelini. who owns the pres
ent baseball grounds assured the
association that they need not fear
but what they could have a place to
play. He said he had thought $500
for the season would be a fair rent
for the park. but that he was willing
to make whatever arrangement met
with the approval of the executive
board. Mr.. Cobolini said he had a
plan which he hoped if carried out,
would give the city permanent pub
lie park, owned and controlled by
the municipality. His plan is to raise
sufficient funds by popular subscrip-
tons to buy either the present ball
park or some other suitable site. fit
and have not only a baseball ground
but pleasure park, a place where
public gatherings can be held.
Mr.. Cobolini stated that the COM
mittee had done a little missionary
work for the baseball fund yesterday
and had increased the amount of the
subscriptions to 1915, or 1854 per
month
The executive board will get to-
gether tonight and organize. They
expect to take up the matter of Sc
lecting captain and hiring players
at once.
A communication was received
from the management of the Mon
terey baseball team yesterday, ask
ing if a series of games could not be
arranged here for next Saturday and
Sunday, but as many of the local
players are out of town, the PROPOSE
ton had to be turned down for the
present.
