Bees Rensselaer Want a Ball Team This Summer?

Several letters hafft been received here addressed to the manager of the ball club,'asking for games, both at home and abroad. One received yesterday asked for a game on May 7th. All the neighboring towns have organized teams and are making date* ahead, auguring a prosperous crop of ball games this summer. Rensselaer lovers of the sport ought to get together and start the ball rolling with an organization. It seems to be the concensus of opinion that the tesm should be composed of home boys as much as possible, only importing those absolutely necessary. Probably with the addition of Johnny Hanks as pitcher the interest in-the sport would be intensified; the expenses greatly reduced, and perhaps something left over at the end of the season for the boys who stick with the team and make it a winner. There is plenty o f talent in Rensselaer and with proper coaching and plenty of practice, we would be able to take the measure any of the teams playing ball round about. Let us get busy and get a good early start. .* FAN.
