PLACE CONSIDERED
No OTHER TOWN HAD LOOK IN
FOR TRAINING PLACE FOR
THE COLONIES.

After the visit Of Col. ]. w. Brigam,
treasurer of the Louisville baseball
club to Columbia last Sunday, no
other location for the training camp
of the club was ever considered. This
statement was made by Col Brigam
in letter received this morning by
Secretary Ashley B. Sowell of the
Board of Trade, from Col. Brigam.
Mr.. Brigam had intended to go to
Lebanon and investigate a proposed
camp there, but he said that after he
took the train at Columbia on last
Sunday he went over the whole situa-
tion and concluded that this was the
ideal location; that it would be impos-
sible to improve upon it and he there
fore determined to so recommend. He
said that Secretary SowelI would have
heard sooner to this effect, but that
