    TWILIGHT LEAGUE
ELECTSDFFICERS
C. W. AMEY PRESIDENT AND E.
T. ANDERSON AND W. E.
TAGGART UMPIRES.
The Twilight Leasue of Enterprise
mot Saturday night and effected a
complete organization, C. W. Amey
of tho R. S. & Z. store being elected
president, secretary and treasurer,
and E. T. Anderson and W. B. Ta
gart official umpires. II. A. Gallo
way wad clioson official scorer.
Although everybody has had lots
of legitimate fun over the formation
of the league, it has Its serious pur
pose. One object of its. manaseniont
is a financial one. The small gate
charge of 10 cent will go to main
tain the expenses of the first team
of Enterprise, thus eliminating the
usual subscription or donation for
new uniforms, paraphernalia and
the like. Uy thus replenishing the
treasury of the first team In th
Two County league, considerable
aid will be effected.
Another object of the Twilight
League is that of 'drawing out"
prospective players from among
whom the big team can be supplied
as fast as new players are needed.
It is a far-sighted policy and ons
that is practiced by the big league
throughout the country, the National
and American and similar leagues
drawing continuously from the min
or leagues of the United States
The Twilight League of Enterprise,
with its four teams. Us to the En
terprise first team what the minor
league teams of the nation are to
the, big leagues. By maintaining a
systematic course of "try-outs" fresh
timber for the first team here can
be an hand, all the time, and the
first' team can in time be built Into
almost an Invincible array of base
ball talent.
In the Twilight League a schedule
ol three games between each club in
the league has been effected, carry
ing the games on for nine weeks.
The first "official" game occurred
Monday night, between Alder View
Invincibles and the Alkali Peaches
The next game will be played Thurs
day evening between the Brooklyn
Trolleydodgers andi the Hillside Hay-
diggers. After this, the teams will
alternate Mondays and Thursdays
In the evening.
All games will be called at
o'clock prompt. The team that is
not ready at 6:03 will forfeit the
game to the teami on the field ready
to play.
