Keno reports that there has been
some talk here duling the week-bOth
with the manager and team on the one
side, and members of the Park Asso-
citation on the other.
The latter body has done little or
nothing i'll the way of improving the
grounds for several years, and, the coal
companies, undermining for coal, the
surface i'll several places shows linden
tations, depressions and here and there
a hole, none of which are conducive to
good or safe playing, especially in
fielding.
at would be we'll for the Association,
therefore, to get together" and deter
mine to put the Park in good condition.
1.-The Park is good asset financially
to those who COntrolit, and it is grand
amusement resort for hundreds of peo-
pie. At comparatively little cost much
can be done to attract multitudes next
season-m ultitudes who are entitled to
comfortable accommodations for their
money.

Just opposite the centre of town, easy of
access, and little money effectively in
vested will certainly yield a good divi-
dend.
"A talk with William E. Hartman,
manager, brought out the fact that the
team is getting i'll good form and that
they are waiting only on the Park Asso-
citation people to agree to put the prop
erty in good shape for practice and
business.
"Mr Hartman managed the team last
season and, with some very raw ma
terial, did very well. Next season he
expects to accomplish much more. He
has Is good players on his prospective
list and feels sure he can condense a fine
team from the lot. Finn and Hines are

only great back-stop, but he is a cham
pion hitter from Hitterburg. Grndle
and Brown, pitchers, are both fine slab
artists. Evans on LIST, Mckenty on ID,
Doolin on Sd, and Flynn at short are an
in-tield, good as any hereabouts. Steven

field are good in their places, also at the
bat.
at is the wish of all now that the
Georges Greek teams will come together,

popular interest in local contest that
will be interesting and profitable.

The newspapers on Georges Creek
could help this project along by saying
something encouraging every week urg-
ing action.
IF the JOURNAL believes this, say it,
and keep on saying it until the League
is an accomplished organization and
ready for business when the big ones
begin"
OF the amateur teams "The Young
Giants" seem to be in the lead IN the
way of organization. George Hunter is
captain; James Kreitzberg secretary,
and Frank Jenkins manager.
