Local Fans Must Display Some
Interest.

Unless there is some disposition on
the part of the base ball fans of this
city within the next few weeks look
ing to the revival of interest in the
game there will be no base ball club
in Paris during the coming season.
This is pretty straight dope and it
is our advice to the admirers of the
game to get busy at the earliest DOS
sible date and start a campaign for
funds with which to sustain the team
during practice season and until it can
be made self-sustainfng by the receipt
at the gate.
AS everyone knows. or should know,
the club is at present heavily in debt.
Last year was very disastrous from
a financial standpoint, but it is well
| known fact that baseball failed to
prove profitable in many cities. Paris
was not an exception and lost money
with score of others.
No doubt this. season will show a de-
cidided improvement in the conditions
and with a proper start our team
should prove.a paying proposition from
the opening game.
1t is the general opinion among 1.-THE
fans that. there twill be a club saEd
some are very enthusiastic but the
majority are content to trust to prov
idence and express the hope that Paris
will be represented in the Blue Grass
this year.
This is not the proper spirit to dis
play at such critical time. What
the team needs is good substantial
supporters, more so now than ever
before and from the fact that there
is CERTAIN wave of opposition now
on foot. the efforts should be stronger
than ever.
| According to President Bacon he
has communicated with a number of
players who are anxious for a berth
on the local team. About Feb. con
tracts will be mailed out to fall of the
men. Now itlis up to the fans to
take hand in the affair and make a
greater success of the team this year
than ever. 1t would be wise move
J tu.get the ball to rolling as soon as
possible that there may be no Edraw-
backs at the beginning and when the
season is.fairly launched it is safe to
predict the team will take care of
itself.
The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Maysville baseball club
resulted in the election of James F.
Summers as president and secretary
and John Leonard treasurer. The

Justify the keeping of deputy sheriffs

The man who carried the gun and

J. w. Roberts and the IA other dep
