FOR TERRITORY

an assured fact. 1t has organized and
is formed. II will do much for the
game in the southwest and VIII prove
of decided benefit from many differ

instructed to promuigate the idea. He
did so In writing. he did SO in inter

which will grow with the southwest.
Other cities have taken the matter
