 OF COUNTRY. States Support Must Be Forthcoming or Outside Games Absr-
 doned
States Support Must Be Forthcomin'

Some idea of the advertising city secures from having a baseball team such as Alvord's Jewels. may be gain | ed from the fact that Manager AL word is receiving letters from far and wide from prospective players and from the managers of hines both in Arizona and from considerably more distant points Yesterday Manager Alvord received a letter from H. $. | McNulty, manager of the Swansea | baseball team stating that he is at the head of what Swanseaites consid- CT an organization that would inter est most any of them. In his letter, | Mir McNulty says:
 We have a hustling camp, with men from all over the country. and ball players from many leagues, and we are ready to tangle it up when occasion offers. If you think there is a chance to make a date in Phoe7 nix at some time in the not distant | future, 1 would be pleased to hear from you"
 Recently Manager Alvord received a letter from Ira Bidwell, manager of the Cheyenne CWyoming) baseball club, known as the Cheyenne ln- dians" in which it Is stated that the Wyoming aggregation is to make a | tour of this section, in October and November and asking if it is possible to arrange for games in this city. | It is known that the Cheyenne In | dians is one of the strongest teams in the west, in fact claims the cham ! oil l the Rocky mountain region.
 In this respect Manager Alvord said yesterday:
 ''I am endeavoring to give Phoenix and Salt River valley exhibitions Of real baseball playing. I feel that l have organized as good a team as 1 was ever ever found in city the size of Phoenix. The game of last | Sunday with Tucson was one of the finest exhibitions of baseball l have ever witnessed in my long career on i the diamond. But it will not be possible for me to bring such aggre- cations here and meet them on the local diamond unless the patronage increases sufficiently to meet the in cidental expenses.
 We went in the hole pretty heav- l fly in bringing Tucson here and yet nobody has been found but that will admit that the games were as fine examples of ball playing as were ever seen here Perhaps it Is a little warm and the fans are waiting for cooler weather, but I am sure if those who have loved baseball in years past would just go out to East lake park when these visiting teams are here crossing bats with our home boys they want to see more of just such games and would be willing to pay the price," <y 'e
 Unless some means is devised to raise the necessary funds to insure breaking even when teams come here it will be necessary to turn down all offers of outside teams to come here Just what will be done in the prem ises is not yet known, but it is be- l.lieved there are a sufficient number of people in Phoenix who are inter ested in the welfare of the Jewels to be willing tes lend support to ( home organization especially wheI that organization Is furnishing tn, real article of ball.
 One of the most unique letter!
