GETTING In SHAPE
TO PLAY BASEBALL
PLANS FOR F0UR-TEAM LEAGUE
ARE DEVELOPING AND 1T Is BE-
LIEYED WILL BE SUCCESSFUL
Each Town VIII Have About Ten
Games OF Home Grounds During the
Season But Must Put Up S500.00
Bond to Stay to the End.

In a letter addressed to Claude
Bistline, of Pocatello, by ]. NJ. Virgin,
of Blackfoot, a general idea is given
as to what is being done and what is
hoped to do with regard to organizing
four-team base ball league. Ameri-
can Falls is figured in because it is
prosperous. The letter follows:
Mr.. Claude Bistline,
Pocatello, Idaho.
Dear Sir:-Your letter received and
will say that Blackfoot is arranging
to have a team which will be mostly
home talent. We will not have a
paid man" on the team and we will
not get jobs for more than two men
on the home team on the outside.
Idaho Falls have raised $500 for a
team which will be strictly amateur.
We had not thought of Bancroft. as
American Falls has organized an Ath-
letic Club and will get ready to have
team in the field and as you doubt
less know that American Falls is now
on the Boom as they had one of the
best wheat crops in the year 1913 that
they have ever had and prospects look
very good there. We figured on the
circuit being Idaho Falls, Blackfoot,
Pocatello, and American Falls. Sun
day and holiday ball games and maybe
a few games during week days, max
ing a schedule of about thirty-five
games for each town during the sea-
son. That would give US about nine
or ten games at home. of course, if
YOU think Bancroft is better than
American Falls we will take them in
preference. in fact we sort of figured
on Bancroft instead of Pocatello. as
several people in POcatello were
knocking base ball there and We did
not know that you people would come
in but we would rather have your
town than any town we know of.
If base ball is run in southern Idaho
IKE it has been the past two years
there will not be much doing any
place. We could hold meeting either
, acre, in Blackfoot or in any other
own. l am enclosing a clipping from
an American Falls paper.
We have organized an Athletic Clut
here and have taken one of the best
nails in town. This Association will
, handle the base ball here and in fact
all other sports in the town We
. would expect quite few games here
, during fair week aid if American
