SEVERAL PROPOSITIONS UNDER
CONSIDERATION.
Nothing Definite Reached as Yet. I'm

Hard for Industries. All Indica-
tions Favorable to Lasting Re-
suits

Although there has nothing defi-
mite been accomplished by the board
of trade in its quest for industries
for Clio, everything bids fair for the
story of something definite in the
near future. President Doyle stated
eral industrial propositions which
to the Messenger that there were sew
the board is duly considering-and
they are not "small fry" either.
The banquet last week was such a
pronounced success as an interest
producer that the board plans anoth-
er feast some time in March. At this
time results will likely be discussed,
instead of total discussion of possi-
bilities and prospects.

PoCATELLo BEATS SUGAR CITY

The ball game Sunday resulted In
a victory for the Pocatello Indians"
Sugar City allowed Pocatello to score
four runs In the first inning; q lead
(which they could not overcome.
Pitcher Breeze who started In the
box for the Indians" gave out In
the hinth inning and was replaced BY
Bungo who did very good work while
he was on the mound. Both teams
need to practice team work consider
ably, as errors was numerous through
out the game.
Y The work Of Fox and "Barthold,
was a feature Of the game, in batting
and fielding. Barthold got the long
est hit Of the game which was q
homer. DeKay, who usually plays
q rafting good game, made one bad
error, but that will happen In any
game, so we can't say anything about
that. On the other hand Sugar City
has some very good ball players and
with a shift in the line up can give
Pocatello a better game than they
did Sunday.
i Taylor, Harrison, Bryan, and Wad-
sworth were the stars for the Sugar
City team.
Below is a correct line up Of both |
teams showing hits runs. errors, etc.
