to be as proud and as well supported
as New York in first place, especially
on fete days. To Charley Ebbets all
credit is due for Brooklyn's pride
in her ball team. He has been an
educator with wonderful personal
ity. He just tells the Brooklyn fans
to come out and they respond. He
has given them the best that money
! can buy in a ball field and ball
club. The field is very large and
beautiful and consistent but the ball
club, as everybody knows. refuses to
keep pace with it's surroundings.

| Notables of the national game and
prominent citizens in various walks
of life were out for the Brooklyn Club

l am a young man "a years of age,
in excellent physical condition, and
am somewhat of an athlete, but above
all a good Newark baseball fan.
When Newarks are at home l can be
seen at the game daily roofing hard
for the Tigers, but now that they are
on the road l have to satisfy my feel
ings by watching the scoreboard at
the Star office. However, / find it a
hardship to stand up while watching
a game through. 1 know it doesn't
look becoming for me to sit on the
curbstone, so I figured out scheme
whereby l think I can make for
tune. I haven't mentioned word
about 1t to anybody except you, so
let me know what you think of it. If
you would go to the small expense
of building grand stand on~~the roof
of the Packard Car Co, opposite the
scoreboard, l, like hundreds of others,
would pay nickel to sit down and
watch the scoreboard. Besides would
manage it very reasonable. I could
take tickets and sell lemonade, red
hot peanuts and coin the dough.
A DYED-IN-THE FAN.
All of which may appear very SIM
pie to you, but which would be a
financial loss If put into execution.
