The Lamar base ball talent was
mostly out to the park last Sunday
either trying out for the team or
passing critical judgment on those
who did. There is an abundance of
talent here but it needs a great deal

class of ball that was played in the
A. V. league last season.

several Sunday games this month to
season the team. The first will be
played next Sunday at Fort Lyon
