A BELT BALL TEAM
Baseball fans are agitating the
matter of having an amateur ball
team in town this summer. Available
playér» are numerous among whom
are several who played in the league
last year and the year previous. With

ways produce one, Highwood will
probably be in line and there will be
several amateur teams in Great Falls.

should not be feasible.
