WALES BALL TEAM

Wales Business Men Are Standing
Solidly Back of Bunch of Fast
t4 Players With Coin

Wales is in the game for the base ball
season of 1912 with a reorganization of
its club at a meeting held last week in
the pool hall. This much was given
out by A. A. Scott, who is manager Of
the team for the season while in Lang
don on Saturday attending the Oteachers
meeting. Mr.. Scott said he was not
making any predictions as to what
Wales would do, but it would be worth
while for the teams of neighboring
towns to keep their eye on Wales and
it was quite likely it would be heard
from before the season is over. 1t also
leaked out that the finances of the
team are S122 better off since the box
social and dance recently held and that
this sum has been further augmented
by $240, which the business men have
subscribed, all of which shows Wales
is one of the best small towns in the
state to support q team They are open
to arrange games with other teams and
ask that correspondence along this
line be addressed to Manager Scott, o,
the secretary, Frank j. Fischer. The
clubs treasurer is Chas. Corrignan and
they have an executive committee com
posed of Jos. F. Schneider, Jos. Heiilt
and +. M. Bennes, who oversee th,
business management of the team.
