Baseball in Colville
An organization meeting held atthe store of Wallace & Crossett afew days ago was attended by 25
ball enthusiasts, and after consider-able discussion, a working organiza-tion was perfected by the election of
J. O. Cline as secretary and manager,
and C. O. Snapp as treasurer. Vol-untary pledges of better than $250for the financial support of a team
were made at the meeting, and it isexpected this sum will be doubledwhen a personal canvas of the townis made.
Several members of the old Spring-dale team of 1915-1916 arc availablefor the team this year, includingSnapp, Bunn, Crossett and Heslin,and in addition a number of youngerplayers will try for places on theteam. Among the more promisingyoungsters are Frank Whitney andAntone Miller. So far no materialfor a battery is available, and theboys expect to find it necessary toemploy a pitcher and catcher, and
while they are at it, they propose toget real talent.
Spokane is out of organized ballthis year, and aside from the cityleague teams, which are no strongerthan the best country teams, will de-pend largely on teams from outsidetowns for baseball sport. This makesit possible not only to secure goodplayers, but insures a better atten-dance at both city and country gamesthan in former years.
The Springdale boys who are be-hind the team this year propose tomake it strong enough to go againstany of the Spokane clubs, and aseason of real baseball is anticipated.No playing schedule has as yet beenarranged, but active practice workwill begin as soon as the groundsare in condition for play.—SpringdaleReformer.
