A meeting Of baseball players of Brat
tleboro was held Saturday evening i'm
Judge +. w Gibson's office, They were
full of enthusiasm for the coming season
and after somewhat lengthy, but har-
monlous discussion it was decided to
organize a team. Mr. Gibson was en-
powered to interview the men of standing
An the community who are interested in
baseball with a view to securing their
support in anything which might be at
tempted. 1t was the general impression
that there was good material among the
BrattlebOrO boys for a strong local team
but that professional coach was needed
20 develop It. 1t is probable that the
team will be made up Of all local players,
with the exception of a pitcher. A good
coach will be secured, and every one in
Brattleboro who thinks he can play ball
Hill be given an opportunity to convince
ahe coach The game will be run more
Cor the sport than for financial gain. but
II the team comes out ahead at the end
OF the season the players will share in
the receipts, 1t is planned to hold meet
ings about once In two weeks until the
season opens.
