of managers was chosen as follows George li Berrv chairman J H Bennett P Walsh F A Pennell treasurer Will T Pate D W Colson was made secretary The managers were at once burdened with the business of securing enough games to fill the season It is expected to play four games each week during the season It is hoped to form a circuit of about six towns including Arapahoe Minden Kearney Superior Grand

to collect the guarantee fund It may be stated in this connection that the guarantee fund will be returned to the subscribers in case the project fails The indications now are that the project will be
