being paid by subscription collected
by r. Ferguson from the business
men.
He tells US nearly every business
man in town has subscribed to the
fund. He has secured subscriptions
amounting to $50, $11 of which is not
collected, leaving $48. Of this
amount Mr.. Ferguson states that $50
was spent for training and travelling
expenses last week and about $40 has
been spent this week, leaving on hand
$13. The balance subscribed will be
collected and perhaps more will have
to be secured, as Mr.. Ferguson states
that there will be travelling expenses
for four men for Saturdays games
