Restaurant Wednesday
Night.

Upon a published call in the city
papers for meeting of those inter-
ested in securing strong amateur

son, large number Of enthusiastic

ant last night to discuss the situation
and take steps toward organizing and

sulting as follows:
Messrs. Henry ]. Shea, Frank r..
Haucke, Elmer Beckett, John Fans
Ter, Charles Triebel and Mayor

Dwire Rees and Harry Dice were ap-
pointed committee to call on the
Mayor and notify him Of his election
and to secure his acceptance.
Frank R. Haucke was elected treas
urer.

Judging from the amount of en-
thusiasm at this preliminary meeting,
the only things lacking to give this
city one of the strongest amateur
teams in this section are financial
backing and players Of the latter
there are number in this vicinity
that can be secured; as to the fi1an-
ces there will be no trouble as good
team will receive all the support ne
cessary to encourage it into sue
cessful ending.
Another meeting will be held in the
near future and more permanent Or
ganization effected
