Baseball Team Which viii Represent
Pullman in Inland League viii
Receive support From Bust
ness Men.

At meeting of the baseball fans
held Monday evening last, there was
a small attendance due to the very
inclement weather. There was, how
ever, sufficient enthusiasm among
those present to make up for the
lack of attendance and all that could
be accomplished in the way of finan.
cling the baseball situation was well
taken care of, officers for the local
organization were chosen, and plans
perfected for the Inauguration of the
season here April 16.
Frank e. Sanger was chosen presi-
dent, T. w. Amos treasurer Ira e.
Clark manager. and board of direc-
tors composed of J. w. Anderson, Jr.,
J, N. Scott, d. f. Staley, J. R. Step
henson, Frank e. Sanger and u. G.
LaWler. This personnel of officers and
directors assures businessIike adj
ministration and success to Pull
mans representation in the Inland
| league.
The plan adopted for raising the
necessary funds for equipping the
grounds, viz, that of asking but
small contributions from each one.
has met with such general approval
that no difficulty thus far has been
encountered in raising funds.
Since it is assured that our grounds
will be in better condition than ever
before and better accom- modations to
care for the people in attendance,
banner crowd is looked for at the
opening game Bleachers are under
course of construction, and will be in
readiness for the opening game. BY
the time the second game is played it
is hoped the management will have
had sufficient encouragement to go
ahead with the construction of q
grand stand. 1t is sufficiently well
appreciated by the management that
Pullman will ably support a team in
the league. and every effort is being
made to provide comfortable accomo-
ati0ns for the lovers of the game.
While support is being asked from
the fans in the form of small con-
tributions the amounts asked are
small and such that all can well af-
ford and feel willing to give And
hen each contributor can feel that
he has contributed to som ething for
is own pleasure and convenience.
AS further incentive to those
who have come to the aid of the boys.
they have the satisfaction of knowing
we will have a formidable lineup in
our team and a good article of ball
is assured from the standpoint of
Pullman's team. While a serious
handicap has overtaken the team
during the past week, the weather
conditions making impossible the
necessary parctice most of the team
IS in good condition from practice
games played during the early sea-
son Team work is all that is need
I'd to put the team in the best of con
| dition for the opening fray and with
the weather permitting the boys have
promised to work hard during the
next three days to accomplish the
necessary team work.
All in all the outlook for a success
| full baseball season is the very
best, and the sincerest hope of the
management and the team is that
they will merit the liberal support
given them, by putting winning
| team in the field.
Come out to the game and give the
! boys your earnest support and show
the other towns of the circuit that
Pullman will be second to none in
point of attendance Remember the
date, April 10th. The probable line
lup will be as follows Catcher, Ora
ham; pitcher, Moss, Muir or Osthoff;
first base, Thompson; second, Van
Dorm; short, Moss; third, Buck; left
field, Sanger; center field, Gaddis:
right field, Tulley.
