COPPER LEAGUE
MEETING WILL BE HELD NEXT
WEEK AT WHICH CIRCUIT
OF SIX TEAMS WILL BE
FORM

Some people seem to have the idea
that because there is 10 be an Iron
copper Country Baseball league. that
there would be a lack of interest
shown in the old Copper Country lea
que. but this is mistaken impress
sion.
President w. J. Smith of last years
league will call a meeting for some
day next week. for the continuance of
the league, says the Keweenaw Miner.
The following clubs will have teams
ready for the league; Gay. Mohawk.
Ahmeek- A1louez, Red Jacket. Hancock
and Lake Linden. and possibly Huron
town. Most of those approached on
the subject favor the first six named
teams. and we think 1t is one that will
meet with favor by the enthusiasts in
good baseball Gay has it's team all
lined up. and 1t is not giving away any
secret to say, that they have every APP
pcarance of top-liners. Mohawk, while
having lost some of it's players. will
have a cracker jack Of a team, and
Ahmeek, last year demonstrated that
when 1t comes to good baseball they
are there with the goods Hancock
VIII have team that Will keep the
Keweenaw boys guessing and Lake
Linden will also have one that will
be heard from before the season rolls
by. Rcd Jacket has the material for
bang up" team, and there is no rea-
son why there will not be one of the
best baseball seasons In the history OF
the copper country this year
Hurontown will, we understand,
knock for admlttance and as they have
usually furnished some good ball. their
admittance will probably add 10 the
interest In the league. In the event of
their joining. IL might be arranged for
Mohawk. Ahmeek and Allouez to COM
bne and put in team TO represent
the south end of Keweenaw county,
on IL might be arranged to have n sew
on team league. this plan allowing n
team TO have a Sunday off occasional
ly
team in the Iron Copper league. will
arrange for the local league to have
games at the Athletic park on each
alternate Saturday. There will be one
thing certain this year. though. and
that Is, that Gay will not be deprived
o. representation. They have the team
they have the best lot of hackers, and
they have an excellent train service,
thanks to Superintendent Tom Smith
of the Mineral Range railroad and
they are entitled to have a place in
the league.
