successful last season the Idahc-Cre-
gcn league promises a greater aUc
cess this year si-ce the League Di-
, ,rectors and Team Managers will prof
it by their experiences.
Payette will have a much better
team this season and much more in
terest is being shown beth by the
players and local fans who are cut
to win the pennant this year. In
Ensign and Woodward we have two
good pitchers. Woodward will be
remembered as a Vale star lat yeac.
Veu Cree who played with WeSer
last season will also don a Payette
uniform this year and besides adding
Dibble and Steffin frcm the High
School squad Coach Tom Seymore
mas a good squad 10 chose frcm.
6esides Ensign, Woodward, Cree, D-b-
Bile and Ste1fin We have Bcwm-n
who played with the Payette Club
in 1901. He is fast fie der and
hard hitter. From last years team
there still remains Shaffer, Harland,
Murphy, Wiber, R. Shake and Lem
ley.
The team has already had ten days
practice and another week will put
them in fair shape for the first game
Emmett and Huntington have asked
for games. The team VII go to EN-
nett for the first game next Sun
day and arrangements have been
made with the Payette Valley R. R.
for an excursion. Manager Wilber of
the local club feels that with the
nearness of the lirst League game |
that the team should be put through
at least two games and considers EN-
nett will give the locals the best
try cut. Emmett has strong asgre-
cation this season and have made |
application to come into the Idaho /
Oregon League.
The Canning Factory Grounds are
being put in shape and will be the
best in the League. Additional bleach
ars will be built to accommodate the
crowds which are expected to be
arger this season. Ontario, Vale
md Weiser have stronger teams and
oayette is keeping in line by build
ne up the home club. E. A. mess,
Financial Manager, reports that lccal
packers are coming through" liber-
lily in support of the team. Last
year local citizens were not asked
penny for support of the Club and
he players spent approximately S5UO.-
10 in building the grandstand, bleach
rs, making grounds, buying new
;uits and equipment besides paying
raveling and other expenses out OF
heir pementage Of the gate receipts.
The winning OF the pe1nant this
ear means more than mere glory,
IN agreement has been made where
" 5 per cent of the gross receipts
# each game is put into the League
reasuuy and the winner of the PEN
amt gets the purse thus accumulated
If course the team winning the
,ennant will win the greatest num-
,er of games and thereby win 50 per
ent of the gate receipts instead OF
= per cent.
