Elk City Athletic Club held a

for 1911. About thirty members

ing, and Russell, Graves and Cook
will tell you how it happened. The
grounds will be put in good shape

And from that date we will be in

county, or Corvallis is not beneath
our notice. Several suggestions
were offered by the fans and ideas
for the Clubs for the season. One
thing was to have a score-keeper for
all games who could keep the score
in proper shape for the entire season,
and report TO the county papers,
! and also for the benefit of each club
for q record, The following were
elected to look after the affairs OF
the Club for 1911: G. L. Morri-
son, manager; O. G. Dalaba, sec
retaryj Dorcey Rochester treasurer /
Chas. Van Orden captain; w. e.
Simpson, coach; and Willie Graves
tfor Mascot. A county league was
| given hearing and not in favor for
the tSssson it will be almost an i'm
possibility for all teams to comply
with rules that govern league.
All fans should get rule books for
1911 and post up. Our games. be-
tween the county clubs last season
were very pleasant and it will be our
aim to keep clean games and pleas
ant smiles even If we loose a game.
Now, let all lovers of the game get
in and we hope to see every team in
the county on our potato patch dur
ing the season.
