ductor stopped the train and put him
off. In twinkling the traveller ran

Obtain popular assent at the proper

BASEBALL CERTAIN
AT HELENA, ARK
Fans Are Busy-Stock Sells Rapidly
Players Are Being Picked by
Baseball Enthusiasts in
East Arkansas Towns.

There is no doubt Of the fact that
Helena is to have a baseball team this
summer and that it will not only have
q team, but will be q member of the
State league, says the Helena World.
SO successful has been the work of
the promoters that they are able 10
announce positively that there Will
be team in the field here next year
and that series of games, share
of which will be played here, will be
for the championship Of the State.
Stock in the enterprise has sold rap
idly, the idea has met with the sup
port of all lovers of the game and
numbers of the business men who be-
lieve that team here this year will
be an excellent thing for the city.
Within a few days at the outside the
stock will be sold and the local Or.
ganizatiou will then be ready to do
business.
Baseball fans have had their eyes
on a number Of players who can be
brought here at moderate prices and
although these men are not anxious
to boast of the possibility of capturing
the pennant they feel that Helena will
enter the league with a bright oppor-
tunity of pulling down the rag.

/ Christian Association building the
public will find on the wall the rules
governing the conduct of the mem
bership, and by special request the
Graphic publishes the regulations,
which are as follows:
This building in for the use OF
the members only, and all who de-
sire to use it's privileges are requir-
ed to hold paid-up tickets. Visitors
always welcome. The annual dues
are IS, payable in advance. An ex-
ira fee of $3.50 for gymnasium and
athletic privileges.
The rules Of the building are
those which govern gentlemen at
| all times, and in all places. The
standard of languages and conduct
expected is plainly indicated in the
name, Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation, with special emphasis on
the word, Christian. All members
are urged to join the twentieth
Century Kinghthood Club" and as
sist in promoting pure conversation.
This organization has no favor
ties and It's members stand on ex-
actly the same footing. In assign
ing members to the use of privi-
leges, the invariable rule is sfirst
come, first served"
All games OF skill and amuse-
ment are operated on the ''open
game" plan, which means that any
member is at liberty to join in the
sport. The rule governing pool and
billiards is to "Pay before you
Play"
No person under the influence OF
liquor will be allowed on the prem
ises. This rule applies regardless
of membership. Those who must
drink, must sober up elsewhere.
Smoking is permitted in all parts
of the building, excepting the DOR
mitories and the library. The use
of cigarettes is so generally con-
demned that the management pro-
hibits their use in this house.
All sleeping and reclining is
done in the domritories. The proper
conduct of the rules make it neces-
sary to adhere strictly to their in
tended use.
The management requests the CO.
operation of the members in exer-
cising care over the property. The
character Of the building should be
an incentive to pride in keeping it
up.
1t is hoped that every member
will feel sense of proprietorship
and responsibility in relation to
the building.
The atmosphere of good fellow
ship should be the prevailing one in
every sucn house as this. VIII you
kindly do your share in making it
pleasant for others, and in so doing
contribute to the general good cheer
of the place.
The management reserves the right
to expel Or suspend any member for
violation of rules.
