To Organize Ball Team Preparations are being made this week to have a base ball team in Lebanon this summer.

The business men have guaranteed sufficient funds to get started and tryouts will be held beginning some time next week. Almost all our neighboring towns have organized teams of local players with no salaried men, except pitchers in a few cases, and there is no reason for Lebanon not putting out as good a team as any of them. Definite announcement will be made in the next issue of the Times.

Gerald Cox is making a reputation for himself in the base ball fraternity.

In the game between the Wesleyan and Beth. ny Colleges the Wesleyan won by a score of 5 to 0. Cox received special mention in the college paper for base hits. In the game between Wesleyan and McPherson the the Wesleyans and McPherson and Wesleyan team won to the tune to 8 to 1. Cox again received favorable mention for stealing second and third and also for a center field hit that that enabled him to gallop around the sguare running two men in ahead of him.

In the eighth inning he got by on an error and stole second. In trying to steal third the catcher threw the ball over the third baseman's head and he again went in. It looks like there is some good material available here for the Lebanon team as he will be home in a few days. Pedestrian Regulations The following from the pen of Charles L.
