BIC BOOSTER DAY.
First Big Booster Day Was
a Success-Cr0wd Ran
: Into Thousands.

When man attempts to buck
the elements and other forces ol
nature he realizes at. the outset
that he is going against a hard
game, and when the Baxter
Booster Club picked Saturday,
March 20, as the day for the first
of a series of Big Booster Days il
took a long chance, as March 20
falls right on the change of sea-
sons, and the weather is very apt
to be bad. And last Friday night
when it began to rain the mem.
bers of the Booster Club began
to think they had run against a
circumstance, sure enough. The
clouds were heavy and when the
rain began falling it looked as il
the first Booster Day would fall
like a wet blanket and be fail
ure. But along toward morning
the rain stopped, and by nine
o'clock the clouds had rolled
away, and people began to roll
into town from all directions. BY
eleven o'clock the thing took on
the form of a big procession
from all directions, and when
the noon hour arrived the town
was chock full of a big good ma
tured crowd. Not until the mid.
die of the afternoon, however,
had the size of the crowd reached
its climax. At that time not a
post or empty horse
stall in the town, and the busi-
ness part of the town was con-
gested bunch of humanity. The
crowd ran we'll into the thousands,
and the number of people who
registered for the free drawing
of prizes was over sixteen hun
dred.
All the merchants had many
special prizes for Booster Day,
and they did a big business.
Every store in the town was
crowded, and the only kick the
had was that they
could not wait on the people.
Fact of the matter is, they didn't
expect such a crowd as come,
and on top of that was the bad
of the night before, and
they did not arrange for help
enough.
The big free drawing came of
in the band stand, which was
hauled out in the, center of the
street. The judges were John
Banning, Chas. Paxson and Mar
tin Shanks, three men who
weighed id the aggregate about
seven hundred and fifty pounds,
thus guaranteeing satisfaction in
big quantities.
The big prize was carried of
by Clarence Needs, son of Henry
Needs, living six miles west of
town, and the second prize went
to Conrad Kratz, living on Blue
Mound. The other prizes were
scattered all over the country,
and the drawing of some of them
proved a source of amusement to
many. For instance, Will Blu.
chan drew half a dozen sand
wiches, and J. Fl. Ballard drew
ten yards of dress goods. A big
good natured fellow drew a cor.
set, and so it went. The chief
interest was of course conferred
in the big offerings, but the in
terest in the small prizes was
very keen.
The band rendered some good
music in the afternoon, and at
the close of the days doings a
bncking broncho was ridden by
some young fellow. And the
broncho did buck.

Baxter Springs news. [volume] (Baxter Springs, Kan.) 1882-1919, 1909-03-25

brought big prices, because the
crowd was in a good humor.
, Booster day is a good thing.
1t brings people together who
have not seen one another for a
year. 1t creates good feeling
among people; it is in the ma.
ture of a reunion; it makes busi-
ness for the merchant, and it
gets people in the habit of COM
ing to Baxter Springs. We ven-
ture the assertion that not a per-
son came to Baxter Springs last
Saturday who will not come
again, for the simple reason that
they had a good time, were
treated right, and bought goods
cheaper than they had any idea
they could.
Remember Saturday, May 1.
That is the date of the next
Booster Day. And to our rural
friends we want to say this: Do
not forget Baxter Springs and its
merchants. You can buy goods
here as cheaply as you can any
where, and in many instances
cheaper. 1t will pay you big to
make Baxter Springs your shop
ping center.

Garry Hermann Gives Kinsella
of Springfield a Little At

STIR OVER T0RREY DEAL
Says National Commission Will Keep
an Eye on His Transactions
in the F5>dre.
PHoTo ~ THOMPSON. \. !

What Garry Hermann, member of
the national baseball commission,
thinks Of our own Richard Kinsella.
head of the Springfield club, is told In
the following dispatch:
Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov 12.-Richard
Kinsella of the Springfield Three-Eye
league club is given credit by Garry
Hermann with being a clever baseball
financier and one worth watching. On
Wednesday Kinsella flashed contract
signed by Bill Torrey of Chicago be-
fore the meeting OF the national asso-
citation at Memphis and said that Tor
rey had been stolen from the Sprin-
field club by the national commission.
President Hermann today winked his
eye, smiled, and told the newspaper
men to keep their eyes on Kinsella.
''The case is simple" said Garry,
land our friend Kinsella has no show
whatever of getting Torrey away from
the Reds. He tried to coax him away
from the Logan Squares in Chicago aud
did induce him to sign Springfield
contract When the matter came to
the commission it was seen that Kin
sella had violated baseball law when
he induced Torrey to break his former
contract. notice that Kinsella claims
that he purchased two other players
from the semiprofessional Of Chicago.
Neither of these purchases was legal
that know of.
1.-THE oldest thing about Kinsella's
alleged purchase of TorEey is that he
then sold the player to the New York
club for $4,000 without ever having
seen the man. Our friend Kinsella is
a good business man, but punk base
ball magnate if he thinks this kind of
brokerage business goes. We are 60
ing to keep our eyes on his deals from
this time on, and If he turns any more
such flashy tricks as the Torrey affair
we will at least try to show him " here
he is wrong. Then, maybe we can do
more"
Sample of Circuit Change Rot.
Here is a sample of the rot that is
being circulated as a result of this pre-
mature talk of changing baseball terri
tory:
Aurora, ILL.,, Nov. ia new baseball
league with clubs in Aurora, Bloom
ington, Decatur, Jacksonville and Joliet
in Illinois and Cedar Rapids, Daven-
port, Waterloo and Dubuque in Iowa,
is being organized. c. A. Burton, n
Jacksonville banker, is behind the
movement. The league will try to be
a rival of the Three-Eye league and
the Central association, and those be-
hind the movement plan to secure rec
ignition from the National Association
of Minor Leagues. 1t is the plan to
have the salary limit as high as that Of
the two above named leagues.
