    1898-3-18 George Tebeau (w/illustration) is looking with interest at formation of Colorado State League - perhaps Denver will get the franchise in it that it has been denied by the Western League.
        Western League owners are lowering salaries across the league, and many players are rejecting their contracts. 
    1898-6-23 (Aspen Daily Times) Ft Collins walked off field in protest of umpire's call. "It were far better for the Colorado state league to disband and never again mention baseball in any form than to display such universal symptoms of babyism."
    1898-7-06 (Denver Rocky Mountain News) (Wednesday) "The Aspen base ball team came in with the Gulfs last night from the mountains and registered at the American house. [lists roster] They will play the Louisville team in Boulder today and to-morrow. Friday, Saturday and Sunday they will play the Gulfs at D.W.C. park in this city. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week they will play in Fort Collins."
