Ball Club Is
Formed Here

Ordway is to have a baseball club
and the interest taken at the organi-

week at the Foley hotel indicates
that there will be an aggregation of
players sufficiently large to have one
of the best teams the town has had
for several years. Twenty-four ball
players and ball fans were in attend
ance at this meeting. DIR. r. A.
Bown was selected club manager and
Everett Nelson as treasurer. Other
officers will be chosen at a meeting
to be held later.
A lease has been taken on the ball
park and the grounds will be fixed up
for the opening of the season. The
club members have decided that all
the profits from the seasons sched-
ule shall be turned over to the Red
Cross. 1t has been proposed that
they decline to play any team which
does not turn its funds into that
channel.
