LEAGUE A FIXTURE
The Arkansas Valley League Will Be
Permanent Institution. May
BE Enlarged

The directors of the Arkansas Val
ley League held a meeting the first
Of the week to reorganize for the COM
ing season and the Lamar team was
represented by r. l.. Christy and
Chas. II. Wooden Mr.. Christy went
up to do the talking and Mr. Wooden
just to add dignity and restful re-
pose to the occasion.
Each Of the four towns who were
represented in the league last season
were well represented and expressed
determination to have a better team
in the field this year. Fort Lyon also
had representatives on the ground
urging that a six team schedule be
adopted and Pueblo and Fort Lyon
included. A committee was appoint
ed to confer with these towns and it
may be they will be included with
proper safeguards to protect the
teams from too high priced players.
The managers of the Rocky Ford,
La Junta and Las Animas teams all
expressed themselves as satisfied with
the prospects and each sees pen
nant ahead for his town-of course all
of US down here know how foolish
they are. Laamr has grounds paid
for this year and enters the season
without this big handicap which hung
over the management all last season.
There will be a better team than ever
here before and that rag will find a
pole waiting for it out in Sonora park
next September.
The following officers were elected
for the next year: r. l.. Christy, La
mar, PRESIDENT; Geo. Cunning, Las
Animas, vice president; W. B. Win
chell, La Junta, secretary; r. C. Drap-
er, La Junta, treasurer.
Board of arbitration-W. B. Cor
don, Lamar; Geo. C. Maxwell, Rocky
Ford; Seymour Hall, La Junta; w.
r. Murphy, Las Animas.
Executive committee-Wm. COrson,
Lamar; Fred Knause, Rocky Ford;
W. C. Bentley, Las Animas; G. w.
Milliken, La Junta.
The retiring officials were given a
vote Of thanks for their services the
past year in getting the league start
ed. They had a hard job and took
their cussings good naturally and
without salary attached.

One of the most exciting basketball
games ever played in Lamar was wit
messed by a large crowd at the arm
DRY last Friday evening when the La
Junta high school boys team beat the
Lamar boys by a score of 26 to 20
1t was fast game from the start to
the finish and at the last it looked as
II the Lamar boys might overcome the
La Junta lead us they were scoring
at will almost. George Harper, one
of the best Lamar players, was injur-
ed by n collision with n La Junta
player, which checked the winning
streak and left La Junta in the lead.
George has a badly broken nose as
result of the collision.

The principal contention Of the La
mar Association was granted and put
in the league constitution. This was
that all games should be started at
2:45 p. m, and be played out regard
less of train schedules.
A rule was also adopted that no
player who finished last season with
a team higher than Glass ID would be
eligible to play in the league. If
Pueblo comes in it is believed this will
be sufficient protection for the other
teams.
