Y. N. C. A.
COMMERCIAL
BALL LEAGUE
ORGANIZED

The mass meeting of the base ball
fans held last evening resulted in the
organization of Y. NJ. C. A. CONNER
cial league to take the place of the
Church league OF last season.
The players seemed to be of the
opinion that while the Sunday school
and Church leagues had been a great
success. and q better quality OF base
ball had been Witnessed the past
three years. and the interest in the
national game greater than ever BE-
fore. perhaps the change OF this type
OF league to a Commercial. leagae
would be the proper move at this
time. The different managers. cap
tains and players expressed them
selves as favorable to such an organi-
aztion. II was the concensus of a1ia-
ion that there should be the same
encouragement of Sunday base ball
as in former years, and that not more
than six teams should be allowed 10
enter the league. quality being pre-
ferred to quantity.
After n very full discussion of near
ly every phase OF the situation. 1t was
unanimously decided to organize. and
the following officers were elected:
President. Harry E Bowen
Vice president. R. d. King.
secretary-treasurer. F. B. Campbelk
The advisory board viii consist a
the officers of the organization. one
representative from each team OF ths
league and a representative of the Y.
NJ. c. A.
No doubt the base ball interest in
Canon City will be very great this
year. as great as II has ever been. and
a better advertising scheme for the
community could not be planned A
well organized. properly controlled y
NJ. C. A. Commercial league is in line
with progress. A good wholesome
athletic association OF this character
is n moral asset to the community as
wen.
The advisory board will report on
constitution and bylaws in the near
future. after which the schedule will
be perfected and the season opened.
Here's success to the project.
