WOODS LEAVES BISBEE FOR
 DENVER

Aside from the loss ot Pitcher .Pretzel' Hoschelle and Right Fieldet Frank Godfrey. the Bisbee baseball. team is now minus the services of Manager-Captain- Catcher Dean Woods who is now on his way to Denver to iom the team representing the mile high" city in the Western league.
 The preparations were made quiet- ly. A few days ago it was intinaied that Bisbee might lose him. when Woods received wire asking him to be ready to leave for Denver on no- tice. Tuesday the expected word came. Dean quietly "canned' himself, appointed Teddy Bear" Wilson as captain-manager in his stead. and went about town bidding his friends good bye.
 'No, do not expect to be . Mucker again" said Woods last night, as be stood upon the depot platform, his suit cases. bat-bag and cateher's mitt beside him, ready to leave.
 "If given a fair chance I think I can make good with the Denver club.
 Tt came about in that twelve-in- ming game at Douglas. After the game the scout for the Denver team. who was present. called me over to his table in restaurant where I was eating. He then offered me a chance with the club he represented"
 Tuesday night Woods and the other members of the team formed fare well party" at the station to see Hoscbelle of. The Datchman goes to St. Louis, waere 1t is understood he has several baseball prospects iH sight. Frank Godfrey left yesterday for his home n Tucson. and frou there will go to Los Angeles where he expects to play winter ball this year.
 Woods took fIs departure oa the o'clock train fc.- the east last night Members of the team and number 0f. fans were on hand to see him on and wish him success in the Colorado metropolis, where he will catch either the Saturday or Sunday game in the Western league.
 Dean was a hard worker and well liked by local baseball followers, Since joining the team he has been a consistent hitter and good fielder and his worth was voiced in appre- ciaticn when he was made manager Of the team upon the resignation of Wolf. He didn't hit very well in the last few games and made a slip-lp CT two that cost runs in one or two games, but the ians had no license to roast him for that. Any player is nt't perfect always.
 The selection Of Teddy Bear Wilson. the prodigal returned to th' fo;G after two years absence, Is Vel come news to tae fans, for they gre assured. of the benefit of a noodle full ot wide baseball experience. The pig blond, good natured, hard-hitting out fielder has a host of friends, and chn nsr help but please them.
 wilson's advent to the managerial berth should not pass without som' # tcocnition. and 1t is now proposed t discard the appellation of "Muckers' and call the home boys instead w. sons Teddy Bears, or just Bruins fo short. Be it assured that thei paws will twine about their variou enemies as hard as possible, and tha the "squeeze play" will be used ei fectiveIy at all stages. It's Wilson Teddy Bears"-that's all Does sound all right? Most of the fans ar t:ring of "Muckers." anyhow.
 The backstopping of the team vii now fall upon Corr. that filler of al positions. from bench to box. Catcf ing is one of his long suits, so every body can rest assured that thing back of the bat will be well take care of. His generalshiD and win for second are well known. Roya will qualify as second catcher, shoul anything happen to Corr. Feeble viii be used in Godfrey's place in righ field. and with Root and Lou Wood doing box duty, the Bruins ought t be sufficiently formidable to talk some of the Demonical designs out the Mephistos of Smelterville whe they clash Saturday and Sunday.
