70 the Iowa camp and explained the situa-
ton to Lieutenant Gault. The leagues
will include one for Lrano Grande. one for
Harlineen and one for Brownsville. The
Iowa baseball men provided themselves
with all paraphernalia before leaving DeS
MONIES.
The place selected for the cam Is in
many respects ideal. 1t occupies n broad,
nearly level space ut the summit of the
