Baseball Takes Fast Hold
In Chihuahua, Mexico

Consul James B. Stewart, Mexico,
reports an active market In Chihua-
hua for all kinds OF baseball goods,
principally cheap and medium
priced, and dealers state that more
balls, bats. gloves. and masks are
now being sold than at any time
since the year 1912, when baseball
was dropped because of disturbed
conditions. An athletic field, close
to the center of the city, has been
constructed at cost OF $1,000 and
Chihuahua's first baseball league
has been organized.
The present revival is being fos-
tered by a number OF large business
houses, who have organized. H.
nanced, and given their firm names
to ball teams for advertising pur-
poses. Among those having teams
In the league are n wholesale gro
Ger, a shoe dealer, two breweries,
n hardware store, and n large lead
smelter. Following the example OF
the merchants, several mining COM
panies I'm the narby camps are now
forming teams among their en-
ployes.
