CITY TO HAVE
Three TEAMS
BUSINESS MEN ORGANIZING
THREE TEAMS TO PLAY
EVENINGS
The Teams are Composed of Business
Men from East and West Sides
of Main and Courthouse

A city baseball league is in the
process of formation in Colville,
which will embrace three teams OF
business men, those on the east side
of Main street, those on the west
side of Main street, and the men at
the courthouse. It is proposed to
play two games each week, in the
evenings after working hours. The
teams have not yet been fully or
ganized, but there is much promis-
ing material for each team and bets
on the winning team would be hard
to place at this time.
H. o. Bair will probably be the
manager of the team from the east
side of Main street. He will no
doubt be ably assisted in this work
by John Walsh from the r. f. Lee
company. These two will pick the
lineup but it is probable that Burlie
Casey will be shortstop, DR.. r. F.
Goetter and Warren Lane, pitchers;
DR.. J. J. Ingle, catcher; G. w. Peddy
cord, left field; c. NJ. Durand, right
field; C. l.. Baker, center field; Lew
Wernli, 1st base with Homer Mil
ler substitute; Rolla Willett, I'd base,
with Alex Sinclair substitute; Harry
Gleason, Sd base, with j. A. Rice
substitute. The other available ma
terial for this side of the street in
cludes I. D. Sill, Vic. Baird, Warwick
Stewart. Geo. Stenger, Leo Gordon,
W. L. Sax, Frank Haun, w. A.
Acorn, w. w. Campbell, L. S. Thur
Der, C. c.. Casey, P. H. Johnson, ].
T. Raftis, H. w. Bailey, Don Willett,
Geo. Roth, Frank Pollak, G. B. Ide,
Bert Emery, Geo. Miller, Ralph Will
let and Frank Hardesty, who will
no doubt be able to try out for po-
sitions of rooters, water carriers, bat
carriers and pig tails.
L. G. Keller has been suggested
as manager for the west side of the
street, with Laz Dannheiser assist
ant. The lineup will probably be as
follows: Grover Graham, catcher,
with Herb. Owens substitute; B. f.
Stringham and Dale Jones, pitchers;
Geo W. Seal and Earle T. Gates,
shortstops; o. Wilson and Ross Cul-
yer, 1st base; NJ. W. Meyer and Fay
Baker, I'd base; Joe Rogers, Claire
Hanson and l.. Strauss, Sd base;
Hugh Waddell and B. G. Rich, right
fielders, Carl Hard and A. J. Lee,
center fielders, Earl Strong and
Charles Noe, left fielders. Other
excellent material for the team con-
sists of Levi Donley, Frank Kostka,
W. d. Estey, Royce Richardson, w.
H. Jackson, f. J. Milberg, John
Miller, l. J. Lasswell, C. F. Smith,
Carl Buchanan, Pete Riley, f. J.
Van Buren,, Matt. Scherette, W. c.
Keller, Steve Freshman, Max Flech-
sig, Oscar Flechsig, c. F. Corbett,
J. W. Reynolds, Claude Hydorn, D.
H. Kimple, w. Lon Johnson, l.. E.
Gordon, f. Cherryholmes, Quinn w.
McCord, M. A. Daggy, c. H. Adams,
Testers Cohrs, and others, who if
they don't make the regular lineup,
may try for side line and granstand
positions.
The courthouse team promises to
be the peppiest one of the three.
The manager will be H. j. Plumb, as
sisted by Fred Thomas. Mr.. Plumb
is reported to have had considerable
experience as manager of big league
baseball. Due to the limited number
of men employed in the courthouse,
the lineup will no doubt be as fol-
lows: Dewey Sill, catcher; Tom
Offutt, pitcher; Prof. w. o. Cum
mings, shortstop; Mark Sullivan, 1st
base; Glen Snoddy, I'd base; c. r.
Wiley, Sd base; Bill Graham, right
fielder; f. J. Tremblay, center field;
Will Spedden, left fielder. o. w.
Noble claims considerable experience
as a water carrier and will no doubt
be given that position. Frank Ham,
George Shaver, VIM. Workman and
C. A. Ledgerwood will be all-round
substitutes, and the girls employed in
the courthouse are applying for side
line positions.
AS soon as the teams are fully
organized, a schedule of games will
be arranged, to continue from May
l to July A. These business mems
teams, at present, do not contemplate
playing with any outside teams, as
the purpose of the organization of
these teams is merely to furnish a
little amusement for all and give
the men who are confined to store
or office some outdoor exercise after
