a STATEMENT.
The price of admission to the Fargo
game was raised to IS cents because
of the increased expense of bringing
the Fargo team here. That there be
no misunderstanding we desire to
make statement:
Q) This g a m 9 costs US $35 in ex-
pense.
(2) We cannot depend upon a.
large crowd for an afternoon game.
(3) Our afternoon game with Cas-
selton last year brought only $3.50
in receipts.
az The Fargo team is one of t h e
best, If not ths best, in the state, and
has been for years.
(5) We have every reason to ex,
pect much faster and more closely
contested game.
(6) We have no intention of boost
ing the price of games in the fnture
| (7) Isn't it worth ten cents more tc
see such game?
