ADDITIONAL MONEY NEEDED BY

There Is nothing so dear to the
heart Of an ardent baseball fan as a
soft pine seat minus knot just back

The baseball directors realize that the
way to real fans heart is somewhat
varied from the usual route, and there

But every foot of soft pine in the

to build the bleachers with some ex-

the directors are on the high hunt for
at least 200 more simoleons to pay for

to come wholly from the gents who
occupy the sun seats. for many OF

the appeal is directed to those loyal

The bleacher fund is now open.
Who'll be the first gent to sweeten the

0TTUMWA GIRLS
TOOK EASY GAME
HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES WERE
VICTORIOUS SATURDAY ON
BATAVIA TEAM.

The Ottumwa high school girls won
over the Batavia high school team at
the Y. w. G. A. gymnasium Saturday
afternoon IN a walk away. The score
was 4S to g. The class Of basketball
the Ottumwa girls put up was the best
they have shown this year. The team
work and shooting Of baskets would be
credit to many at the boys teams
that have played here this season. The
Ottumwa guards did such excellent
work that the Batavia damsels were
unable to score single basket on
them. The Batavia guards put up
strong defensive game, but were un-
able to stop the fast Ottumwa forwards
who rolled them in from all corners or
the floor. The. two Ottumwa centers
who We're substituted for Miss Brou-
hard and Miss Avery, who will be out
of the game for the rest OF the season,
played stellar game at all times and
put up IS good a game as the two
regulars have at any time during the
season. Referee Zeuch OF Batavia
was evidently not up to date on the
rules and for this reason the game was
little slow at times. Miss KIM who
guarded Miss Porter was the star OF
the Batavia team. For Ottumwa Miss
Deskin seemed 20 have a shade on the
rest. Miss Trent of the visitors evil

shots this young lady slipped six into
