NEXT WEDNESDAY TO
Be BOOSTERS DAY
RECORD BREAKING CROWD is
EXPECTED FOR BASEBALL
BOOSTER DAY.

Wednesday, May 30, has been desig-
mated Baseball Booster Day. Tickets
for this game are being disposed of
and it is expected that at least one
thousand tickets for this game will
be disposed of within the next few
days. On that date the final game
of the Bonham series is scheduled
to be played here and a record break
ing crowd is expected to witness
this game.
The attendance at the games here
has not been sufficient to keep up
the expenses of winning club, such
as We now have, and this method
has been adopted of securing needed
funds. The plan has been tried in
other towns and has proven a great
success financially. These tickets for
the Booster Day game VIII be good
only for admission at the gate and
the price will remain the same, 20
cents.
Show your appreciation or VIM
ming ball team and help it along by
purchasing Booster Day tickets as
far as your money will go.

There are few places discovered IN
any portion of the globe that have
produced such perfect Specimens of
