The teams will be outfitted with all necessary equipment and para- phernalia by the members of the Rotary club and prizes will be awarded to the team finishing first in the league and to the individual {members of the team. At no time before in the history of the city has thére been go much interest among the younger boys over the baseball chances of teams than there is at the present time over the prospects of a lively league of hard ball games.
