Duluth, Mimi. Aug. 17.-Duluth
Boosters Baseball day has been set
for September 1.
Five thousand booster buttons have
been ordered. These buttons will be
sold with the tickets to the game. You
will want tt wear one. because nearly
everybody in the city will have one
with the ticket he buys.
The attendance record for the Du-
luth baseball park is something like
$500. Every effort Is going to be
on booster day.
Field sports participated In by the
members Of the Duluth and Superior
lures Of the day. The sports held
Wednesday made a decided hit with
the crowd. and they will be REPEATED
on booster day with many added fea-
lures.
Over twenty-five hustlers have Of
fered their services to the board Of
directors of the baseball association
and they will act as sellers Of the
buttons. You will get a button with
a ticket. There will be ne advance
over the regular price for the tick
cts.
At the meeting of the board Of d.
rectors Of the baseball team. held at
the Spalding last evening. definite
steps were taken toward the organi-
cation Of the league for next season.
The old desire to enter the twin cities
still animates or agitates the direc-
tors Of the local club. and immediate
ly following the close of the present
season, which comes Labor day. a. del
--4f- a. I~oo1 oI,yh A4o5ad
by President Harry Blume of the See
Eye, will go to the twin cities and
take up the matter with Cantillon and
Lennon.
Every effort is going to De made to
have an eight club league here next
season. Virginia. mi Fargo will be
formally asked to come into the fold,
and If the bic dream of having the
twin cities in a league with Duluth
comes true. the officials of the local
club believe that one of the best MI
nor leagues in the country can be
organized.
Considering the wretched weather
conditions that have proved a jinx to
the game here this season. 1t is a Won
der that the deficit that the local
directors are facing is not larger. AT
the meeting of last evening steps
were taken to meet the present fnan-
cial condition . The men behlnd tne
game are in the baseball pastime for
pleasure and not for money. That
spirit was demonstrated at the meet
ing. Those present stated that they
would dig to pay the deficit.
1t is believed that Harvey Bluhm
and Elmer Miller will be sold. h
money received for the W players
and the money that is realized from
boosters day-for it is going to be the
greatest success in a baseball way
that we have ever had-many enable
the men responsible for baseball here
to break even on the season.
1t would be a fine thing for Duluth
to have 5000 people in the park on
next to the last game of the season.
1t would be showing appreciation for
those who nave gone down in their
pockets to keep the game alive here,
and it would prove the proper kind
of encouragement for next season.
After the hustlers get through with
their campaign there won't be many
who are not wearing the booster but
tons. The day is going to be the big
gest baseball day in the history OF
Duluth-for the directors of the club
have been promised the support Of a
large number of workers.
