/ AStoRftC Rt SatitlOn3 Va I'll . uA1a1-
ter. the White Pine County League
became a reality last night, when the
representatives of the four clube met
at the city hall and perfected a
schedule of games for the coming
season. ELY. Copper Flat and the
Smelter and Mill teams from McGill
will be in the race for the gonfalon.
The rabid diamond fans have
been attempting for six weeks to ef
feet permanent organization. but
unexpected obstacles intervened.
The knockers on the outside were
willing to copper every move that
was made to advance the national
pastime. The fans committed them
selves to the sport as one might sign
up for parachute drop from
smoke balloon.
Those actively identified with dis
trict baseball realized the success of
the league depended on a high rank
ing team in Ely. The mill and smell
ter teams were eharitably inclined.
and were willing to assist the local
crowd in Strengthening their lineup.
Eberly signified MS intention OF per-
hitting Britt and Dillon to don an Ely
uniform. Manager Crawford OF the
smelter team was willing to allow
Lefty Palmer to appear in the Ely
lineup throughout the season.
| Ely, once queerly uncertain
quantity, now threatened to become
real contender, and organized base
ball became permanent fixture.
After the fate of the city OF court
houses had been determined, uoth-
ing further occurred TO disturb the
district moguls except the selection
OF a league president, and the adof-
ton of a schedule. ID. NJ. Mcdonald
was chosen to direct baseball affairs
in this locality during TIE coming
season.
The different teams wssi fare the
barrier for the first time next Sdn-
day, the two McGill teams fighting
it out on home grounds. Copper Flat
Will journey to Ely for the opening
engagement. The season will close
on Labor Day, and the schedule pro-
vides for fifteen appearances for
each team. The holiday dates were
left open. Two games will be played
every Sunday.

ing were Leo Larsen. baseball man
ager at McGill, r. E. Eberly. repre-
sentative of the mill team: Peter
Crawford. manager of the speltes
