| Game Not a Burlesque.
| Cuno II. Rudolph, treasurer of the bali
game committee, said today that the
| sale of tickets has been satisfactory.
| The proceeds are to go to the play
! ground fund.
i There appears to he an impression in
! certain quarters Mr.. Rudolph remarked.
| that only the members of the Chamber
! of Commerce and the Board of Trade are
expected 70 attend the game. This Is
entirely erroneous. Of course, the MEM
bers OF both bodies will be there In force,
| but we want a good attendance of the
| general public also. The captains of both
teams are doing their best to bring about
| a good game of ball. one that Will be
| worth watching irrespective of what the
| two teams represent, and nobody who at
| tends need fear he will have to sit ana
! look at a burlesque.
| The Board of Trade team was an
nounced today by DIR. Frank +. Gibson,
| the captain. Phil King, captain of the
| Chamber of Commerce team, has not
| quite decided on his lineup. but will an
uounce ii tomorrow. Mr.. King is retl-
| cent almost to the point of secrecy.
about his men, and the Board of Trade
| crowd suspect him of holding secret prac-
tice. hiring professional rubber to keep
the men in shape, and even of operating a
training table. Mr.. King will neither af-
firm nor deny any of these charges.
