Julesburg has q lot of enthusiastic

it would seem that an effort should
be made to put a good team in the
field. Other towns have organized
their teams and are getting ready for
q season of real sport. Do you be-
heve that we will be content to pass
up this year without a team? We
hardly think so as that isn't at all
natural for a base ball town like

a team in the field. Most of US like
the sport too well to pass it by.
