the Ladies Charity Hospital association.
The base ball fraternity desire in some way
to show their appreciation OF the good vii
and liberal patronage and announcement

appropriate manner than benefit Tor the
laudable enterprise that the ladies have
shown such deep interest in.

The management OF the base ball club
assure the public that the game shall be
played tor all it is worth without particle
of let up by either nine from the start to
the finish of the game. No fayors
will be shown or asked by either
side, and the The game anne shall .,. be
feature. If this is done, and there is no
reason to doubt but what it will be, the
contest will be worth seeing. The admis-
sion will be only rs cents as the patrons OF
the game appear 10 think so cents is too
much. The ball club has determined IN
future to charge only 25 cents admission'
unless the distance visiting clubs have to

such as to make it necessary. There are
many who think that Colt is the best
pitcher that has played the position in Dsl-

of reason in the claim. He aud Malough-

amateur Browns have done. much
they and their friends may. well
be proud. They may make it surprisingly
interesting for the professionals.
MOTIFS.
In Thursdays game Mutually will cap.
tain the original Browns; Stockwell the
professionals.
Mrs. Howard, president of The ladies'
association, yesterday signltisd the accept
ance by herself and her associates OF the
benefit rendered by the base ball club.
1t may not be very generally known,
but it is nevertheless TACT
that New Orleans and Dallas are the only
cities in the entire south which have a full
professional combination wlnterlng in
them Dallas should feel proud Of the
compliment paid her in being selected by
the best ball players of the country to
spend the cold months in.
The new management of the Dali
los club are determined 10 allow
no more loose play on the ball field. They
feel somewhat sore over last Sundays ex-
hibitiou and promise the public no more
of it shall occur. But the public should
also remember that il a visiting club has
no good bali playing in them, the home
club cannot get it out of them. Dallas
is the best advertised town in the
south through the sporting papers from
New York TO San Francisco. 1t is next to
impossible to pick up a copy that does not
contain from one to hall Dc zen notices OF
Dallas and her base ball club. 1t is certain
ly benefit to have attention thus directed
to us.
