BARTLETT
IN THE LEAGUE.
Promoters of proposed Cen-
tral Texas League were here yes-
terday, in an endeavor to get
Bartlett to support a team in the
Central Texas ,League, which is
at present being organized; the
promoters were here yesterday
conferring with promineril citi-
zens who are interested in the
proposition, and met wjth much
favor.
The proposed league is for
teams in Temple, Belton, Bren-
ham, Cameron, Tavlor and Bart-
lett, and to run about ninety
gardes from May 1 to August 1.
and we predict that Bartlett ia
ready to do her part now, as sey-
eral towns not named are after
a berth, but having all teams in
one section saves mileage and
other expenses.
""The team for Bartlett is practi-
all aassured if the business men
will give the proper support, and
they should be the ones to reap
the benefits that accrue to a pro-
gressive city. With the proper
management and the right per-
sons interested a team here will
without doubt be a success, and
in the event arrangements are
completed the league will begin
he schedule about May 1. Lets
have a club and a winning team
for Bartlett.

Commissioner Gardner was
here last Monday and let the
