PRIZES 10 LADIES WHO
SELL BASEBALL TIcKE1e
1t VIII Cost only $40 for a Ticket
to All Games.

The Abilene baseball association
settled the matter of season ticket
at meeting held last evening. Sea
son tickets will be sold to men gooC
for admission to both grounds ant
grand stand for $40. This ticket Il
good for all the So games of the
championship series and single ad.
missions to all of these games would
amount to $12.25. In addition to
this there will be a Decoration day
game and probably five first class
exhibition games during the practice
season before the championship SER
les opens. These extra games would
cost at single admissions S2.10 more.
The holder of season ticket will al
SO be admitted to these games. The
season ticket admits the holder to
all games given by the association
to the end Of the championship sea-
son, so 1t may be seen that the man
who buys season ticket gets $14,35
worth of baseball for $1,000.
The association wants the support
and encouragement of the fairer sex
and is making a strong bid to secure
it. Ladies' season tickets carrying all
the privilege Of the mems season
tickets will be sold for $3.50. All
season tickets will be transferable
but they will have space for the
signature of the owner SO that ticket
may be taken up at the gate in the
event that 1t should be lost. There
may be some men who do not care
for season ticket including admis-
sion to the grand stand and 1t Is
probable that season ticket good
for grounds wlIi be sold for $3.50,
but this matter has not been positive
ly decided.
1t may as we'll be understood first |
as last that with just one exception |
there will be no free list. The men
who made baseball possible in Abb
lene guaranteed $25 to see the sea-
son carried through and they have
put up all of the mt ney that has thus
lar been called for. a certificate Of
stock and season ticict was issued
% them. This opportunity was Of
'ered to everyone and it is still open.
Every stakeholder and every officer
who gets any additional tickets will
pay for them. Two tickets will be
ssued to every newspaper in the
county and the association will re-
,eive more for them thany any other
tickets it disposes of. Just one free
ticket will be issued and that one
will go to R. w. hoffman, of Enter
Prise, president of the league.
The association will conduct con-
est and will give two prizes, $40 in
,old and one season ticket, to the
;wo ladies turning in the largest
mount of money from the sale of
eason tickets. A commission will
.lso be paid on each ticket sold. Full
Ietails of the. contest will be an-
Iounced later. N
