Show Gunnison Backs Baseball Team 1- Gunnison citizens have decreed that the city is to have a real baseball base-ball team this year and to this end ample support to maintain such' a team has been subscribed and promised prom-ised to help the team go out and pull down the pennant from the Southern Utah Baseball league. At the mass meeting which was held at the City hall last Saturday night, and at which a goodly number of "real fans" were present, new suits, and a goodly sum of money was subscribed to fit the Gunnison team with the necessary funds to carry out the program of furnishing the city and valley with good, clean baseball. Among those who will more than likely be seen in Gunnison uniforms this .season are such well known players as Daunt Sanders, Dr. Nelson Beal, R. Edwards, Harold Halverson, Lee Pace, Bual Pace, Albert Newman, New-man, Lester Fredrickson, F. Soren-son, Soren-son, Tony Willardson and Frank Settle. This is the tentative line-up, but it is likely that some five or six more players will bo added to the team membership. As yet there has been no organization organi-zation of the ball team, and will not be until the first of the coming week, at which time a meeting of all members will be called and the lineup line-up announced. J. AV. Jones, who has successfully managed the team for a number of years, is being prevailed upon 'to take the management during the coming season. Jones knows the game, and is one of the most enthusiastic en-thusiastic fans in the county. Practice work among the players who are here now was begun last Sunday and much enthusiasm marked the first day's practice. Gunnison is going after the pennant, pen-nant, and if will be necessary for the citizens to lend every support. If you are a "fan" and arc interested in owning an interest in a winning team, and if you have not already offered of-fered your financial support, hunt one of the committeemen and make your subscription good and big. And don't forget the baseball benefit ben-efit dance tomorrow night. i . |
