To the Editor of The News:


Listen base ball fansl Here is a
proposition that is put up to you. We
are now in reaching distance of a
ball club for this year. We think that
we have the best team of players that
will be In the league thisyear signed
up and their contracts are in our safe,
and nothing remains to be done ex-
cept to get enough fans together to
sign up for just fifty more shares of
stock, and we feel sure that we will
yet win out. We find so many that
tell us, eyes it is good thing, and we
can't afford to let it fall through, and
| am going to help you, but l can't
do it today" They do not seem to
realize that this stock must be sub
|scribed for at once, as on Wednes-
dav, February 10th, we will have to
declare ourselves at Richmond, we
will be in if this amount is raised.
and will be out if it is not, The pro-
mOters do not want this money now,
anytime before the first of May will
be time enough to paw it, but the
stock must be subscribed for TO en-
able us to organize and elect officers,
so that we can transact business leg
ally. All the work that has been done
up to this time has been done by self
appointed committees. The ones that
have been doing this work have work
ed hard for months, and it will be
sad disappointment TO them if they
see that all of their work has gone for
naught at the last moment. Now
let's all get together, and those that
have not signed up Out had expected
to do so, but have been putting it off,
go to H. H. Phillips today and he
will gladly furnish you with a blank
and he will promise to have plenty of
pens and ink so that as many can
sign at one, time as will go to him.
Now don't wait for some one else, but
go right along, and make his place of
business look like big bargain house
overrun with customers. Now if you
viii do this, and we get this fifty shar-
es, we want every stakeholder to be
at the court house at z 80 Tuesday
night, and we will organize and elect
directors and get down to business.
If you find that you cannot be at this
meeting send your proxy by some
one. If you will only go in, and sub
scribe like you know that you should,
there will be no trouble in. raising this
amount. Look back at Winchester's
past history. Did she ever start any
thing that she did not finish? Don't
let this be our first fall down. Tommy
Sheets from the Lexington club was
up here Saturday night and he told
several of us that we were the only
ones In the league that he was afraid
of, but that he expected to trim us
good and plenty. Help us show him
that he can't do it. If YOU will come
up with that fifty shares, we will
agree to make his auburn locks turn
gray before the season is over. Do
you know also that if we get this club
in working shape that it is very like
ly that the street car company will
extend the line to the overhead bridge
on Hickman street, and that will put
the car within one hundred and fifty
yards of the grandstand. We will
make an announcement in The News
Tuesday afternoon, how we have sue
ceeded.
Make the meeting sure thing by
subscribing for this stock.
