SOME BASEBALL PICK-UPs.

The game at Enterprise ended
baseball for Abilene for this season
with the exception of amateur games.
Baseball was a success at Abilene this
summer and throughout the whole
G. X. circuit. However, the baseball
directors and stockholders have not
become miIliCnalres and had they
gone somewhat in the hole they
would not have begrudged the ex-
pense. Just think It over real SER
iously, what would you have done
this summer II there had not been
league baseball! There would not
have been several aggregations gath
cred on the street corners every
evening after each game playing the
same game over six or seven times
and that the umpire came right out
and robbed the game, therefore, he
should be lyncbed. Even the women
of Abilene became the best of baseball
enthusiasts this summer. At the
sewing bees, card parties and house
warnings baseball was the main top
ic OF the conversation.
