ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,
SUNDAY BALL.
[ Fonda Times. /

There has been some comment on
Sunday ball playing in Fonda. But we do
not hear much said against the Sunday
excursions to Spirit Lake. 1t is much
better for the working man who has
little opportunity thru the week for
amusement to remain at home and see
quiet ball game than to go to Okoboji
for a Sunday outing going and coming
on train generally filled with drunken
loafers. 1t Is better to have something
to keep the crowd at home, with it's
money. than to drive the young men to
a Sunday carousal at the lakes. Since
the Sunday ball games have been
scheduled at home few have dumped
their weeks earnings into the hopper
of the railroad companies and Sunday
law violators at Arnolds park. OF the
two evils, or rather the evil and a
half, it is better to choose the half.
