contests.
The greatest crowd in local base
ball history was in the park shortly
after o'clock when the gates were
closed. AS many people were crowd
ed into the double decked grandstand
as building laws allowed and the
rooters stood many deep in the out
field, the ropes being moved closer
towards the inf1eld. The club man
agement announced that fully $4,000
persons were in the grounds.
Window seats and standing room
on roofs of houses surrounding the
grounds brought fancy prices
The large force of policemen in evil
dence when the series began is still
on hand and good order is being
maintained.

fifty years, promises made over night
just before election to catch the vote,
but they have never materialized.
I'VE should now go to the aid of

They are good ones and the revenue
therefrom helps to keep alive our
