We see no reason for gentlemen trying

1t shows bad taste to say the least to
see citizens looking w and under the

A large number Of admirers Of base
ball in neighboring towns have signifed
their intention of visiting Mexico to see
games often this summer.
Jefferson City was coming over this
week but they heard how badly we
cleaned Centralia and Louisiana out and
concluded they had better play Fulton,
Guthrie or Cedar City and let Mexico
alone.
We were glad to see so many ladies
present at the opening game. Good Or

informs us that no swearing or disorderly
conduct will be tolerated. Parties who
cant behave will be expelled from the

Owing to a misunderstanding only a
small number of ladies attended the game
between Mexico and Louisiana. In the
future ladies will be charged an admission
fee at the gate unless otherwise stated on

admitted free.
