rectors of the team have decided that
in the future no more assistance in
the matter of subscriptions will be
asked from the merchants Of the city
and that the team must make and
support itself
Three years age, when the present
team was organized, the merchants of
the city contributed toward its start

ton of any kind The second year
they subscribed as a pure matter of
business. The tn rd season it was a
combination of loyalty and business
and it will be the last that they will
ever be asked for aid.
This year it will cost over $4,000
to run the team and to secure that
amount the receipts must naturally
be great and there will be not the
least sympathy connected with the
running of the team. To show that
its management means business is
cited the fact that they chose wash

the fact that all privileges would be
