Baseball Notes

4 The prospects for the Payette bas
ball team in the Idaho-Oregon Leae
ue are daily improving. EyerytLiB
Is now in readiness for hard prac
tice and as soon as the weather vii
permit the entire squad will beeil
working out in earnest. During tn
past week several have brayed tn'
cold clad in mackInaw coats ant
rCDcegan caps in an effort to ge
little advance practice, but wltf
lour weeks ahead before the League
schedule begins, there viii in a
likelihood be enough warm weather
for the team to get in good condi'
ton.
saturday evening about twenty
players met at the office of ii. E.
Dunn and discL ssed plans with the
manager regarding equipment, prac-
tice, grounds, etc. 1t was decided
that each player who will play on tie
team shall furnish himself with bat,
glove and shoes; the club furnish
ing uniforms and balls for practice
as well as for the games.
The prospects fro new base ball
park have caused no little enthusi-
asm among the players as well as
the local fans and within another
week work will probably be COM
menced on the grandstand and fled
fence. The matter OF putting the
diamond in shape will depend entire
ly upon the weather but temporary
grounds can be obtained for practice
if necessary until the new grounds
are completed.
Two games have been arranged
with cutside teams to be played
jefore the season opens in the reg
iiar schedule on April 9th. These
James are entirely for the purpose
II getting a line on the players and
living the best chance OF selecting
he best players from the squad. The
ogular team will not be named un-
il just prior to the beginning OF
he schedule. Twelve men will be
arried on the regular list; the |
hree extra men being an extra pitch
r and two utility players.
In all twenty-five men have sign
