HERE is a report going the

come back to FL Paso to rejoin the
army and that he will turn out with
the Seventh infantry team in the
Commercial league. With Graham
on the mound, the soldiers will cer-
tainly be real pennant cOntenders.

it seems to have some foundation.

Seventh infantry team in the Com
mercial league, for the little fellow

-FOUR fast amateur baseball leagues
are now operating in FL Paso and
no one can cay that this city isn't
strong for baseball. The CONNER
cial league tops the list. Then come
the new Industrial league and the
Bankers league while the Boyland
leagues should really be counted as
three leagues for there are three
divisions.
