S. S. LEAGUE WANTS
AN ENCLOSED PARK

The announcement in these columns
that the amateur ball players were
eager to get down 10 work and would
appreciate a little added effort on the
managers and promoters I'm promulgat.
ing suitable plans for an early start
has, from all appearances, had the de-
sired effect, for several OF the leagues
got together last evening and others
give promise Of following suit within
the very near future.
As usual, lie Sunday School League
officers were the first TO heed the CRY
from the talented. They met at Ham
lire Church last evening, and besides
discussing the customary routine busl-
ness formulated several plans which,
if successfully carried through, will
give their league a taste of that dis
tnction enjoyed now by the Capital
City League only. The plans concern
the erection of a fence about the
leagues grounds at Thirteenth and ID
Sueets northeast.
For the past two seasons this bright
thought has ranked IN tha minds OF
the officers, but rot before has II as
suned the rather definite aspect IL bears
at present. The matter. however, Is
