IN FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY.
Special Meeting Of FroVldsnce Athletic Association
10 Be Held 10 Consider Situation.

A special meeting Of the Providence
Athletic association will be held ON
Thursday evening, at which time the
question to be discussed is whether the
club will continue TO do business or
shall close it's doors. At the annual
meeting in May finances were discussed
and John Shepard, Jr., Walter A. Pew
and George l.. Shepley agreed to pre-
sent to the association their interest in
the second mortgage bonds, which
amounts to $50, 900. on the co - ition that
the members raise something over $19,-
600 to pay off the floating Indebtedness
of the club. OF the necessary $1,000
over $4,000 has been pledged. The total
sum has not been raised, and the crisis
is at hand.
Now that matters have reached such
a pass IL is believed that there will BE-
a vigorous effort made to enable the
club to continue its existence. but the
only way TO do this is by raising money
without delay.
