"We were not successful iu having

For tbe benefit of tbe baseball fans
Manager Watts of the Klamath
Falls baseball dub, makes a brief out
line of tbe contemplated ball club for
tbe coming season.
"It is needless to say that we are
out for a winning club, first, last and
all the time, and right now I want to
emphasise the fact that in addition to
a first class organisation we are going
to have a clean-cut aggiegatiou of
ball players.
"Auy player that aspires to pugllls
tic or football fame on this club this
season will And himself out of a job
right off tho bat, regardless of his
ability as a ball player.
"This doesn't necessarily mean
that we are going to give you a club
composed of lawn tennis phenoms,
and it Is quite possible that we may
omit the biotherly loo cause in our
contracts. Any ball club that lacks
aggressiveness Isn't worth the price
of a long ahot cigar.
"In regard to the personnel of the
club, Jimmy Clarke aud Frank Bow
den are on hand to take care of their
respective positions, and In all prob
ability tbe balance of the team will
bo picked from the following players:
