bout at baseball. DR.. Warner,
manager of the Grangeville colts,
says he has strong Lineup for
the spring work, that number of
players of excellent quality have
been unearthed and that others
are in sight. Supplies have been
secured, and with the nobby suits
purchased last season, the boys
will be well equipped. The doc
tor says there is going to be some
ball playing done here this season
and as he knows what it sand just
how it is done, there is no doubt
he will deliver the goods if he re-
ceives the proper support from
the community. Would it not be
q splendid idea for the knocker
who has worked overtime for
the past number of years to ring
off for season, and see if he can
not imbibe something of the boost

DR.. Beaudette of Vollmer, stated
the other day that lilo and Volmer

the prairie will be out in full fore,
Lewiston is already marshalling
its forces, and will be here with
strong representation at the
meeting called for the last of

team and number of fans around
town held a meeting at the coun-

After discussing "a number of
matters regarding the forming
of the league and the method Of
managing the team this year a
list of the available ball timber
was made out and Fred Lange
was chosen to manage the team
during the coming season.
From present indications there
will be an abundance of ball ma
terial available and there is
enough in sight at present TO
form two good teams. Of course
the wedding out process Will
thin the ranks to some extent
and it may be necessary to find
other players to fill one or two
holes in the lineup but it is q
foregone conclusion that Cotton
wood will have one of the strong
est teams in the league this sea

The finance committee will cal

and it is to be hoped they will
meet with the loyal support ac
corded the team in the past. -
