LET THEM REcIPRocArE.

The baseball clubs pay our railway
companies considerable money during
the year travelling from town to town
during the ball season. The railroads
should help the boys out by running
some cheap excursions to San Antonio
selling coupons attached, good for
admission to the ball park. A round
trip ticket from Austin for $3.50 includ-
ing admission to the ball game would
be about the right thing.
