This will be double pay, but Mr..
Rothermel believes that there are
enough red blood fans who will
give the extra 80 cents TO keep
the team i'm Tacoma.
A number of business men have
already promised to buy these
tickets. Many of them will pay
five and ten dollars.
If enough of these are sold tho
team can be held here.
Rothermel talked the situation
over with the team.
They are good sports.
"We'n wait for our money, and

playing the national game. They
practice necessarily, they throw
like men, and they play the game

attended the first game this
spring were rewarded for their
trouble. The girl who pitched
has mastered the most intricate

Tacoma's ball club is busted.

The players salaries are due
today, and there is only half
enough money in the club treas
ury to meet the payroll.
Unless money can be raised and
quickly, the franchise will be
thrown up and Tacoma will be
without any baseball.
The crisis has come just as the
club has struck winning streak
and is beginning to climb.
President Rothermel started
the year without enough money.
The fans came to his rescue and
got the club started. There wasn't
enough money, to start 1t right,
to buy new players, pay their rail-
road fare to Tacoma and outfit
the team.

"Ahead of us are the holiday
games, Memorial Day, the Fourth,
