Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Apr. 12, 2015 at 12:01 AM Posted Apr. 12, 2015 at 12:01 AM » Social News April 12, 1915 First Baseball Tryout of Year at Local Grounds Yesterday afternoon saw a score of more baseball players at the local park for the first real workout of the season, and demonstrating their wares before a fair-sized crowd on interesting spectators who hiked down for the occasion. After a short practice, sides were chosen and the fans were given an opportunity to judge for themselves just what Manager Ewing had in store for them this season. The game was nip and tuck from the opening of the fracas, and until J. Pluvius interceded, the score stood 2 to 1 in favor of the first string athletes. The players of both sides showed up well, and all who witnessed the contest expressed themselves as being well pleased with the outlook for the coming season. In view of the excellent material on hand from which to select a formidable nine, it is obvious that some difficulty will be experienced in picking the best men and at the same time giving everybody a fair chance to show their real worth. After the game, a meeting was held for the purpose of discussing plans for soliciting subscriptions from the merchants of the city to be expended toward the purchase of uniforms and other necessary material. A unique scheme was submitted whereby the merchants who contribute towards the purchase of uniforms will have the privilege of using them as an advertising medium for their respective establishments. The shirts would bear the name of the contributive merchant on the back or front, whichever they so desire.   Sixty Grizzlies on Table Rock Sixty Grizzlies, under the guidance of Cole Holmes, explored Table Rock, top, sides and bottom yesterday. Discarding jitneys at a point near Gold Ray, the west side of the mountain was scaled. In order to prepare for future climbs of Mts. Ashland, Wagner and McLoughlin, a steep part of the bluff was chosen for the final spurt. Some difficulty was experienced by a few of the heavier members at this point, but all reached the top in fair condition. Sandwiches, coffee and frankfurters were served by the committee at high noon. Dependable coffee was donated. The dogs were roasted by George Treichler. No licenses were reported found.
