ISOLATION Baseball in Up
River City.

Clinton, Iowa, March 30.-A move
ment is on foot to form a booster club
of Clinton baseball fans. The date for
a meeting at which all those interest
ed may consider it and elect officers
if it is decided upon, will be set soon.
A delegation of Cedar RAPIDS boosters
will be here for the meeting and Man
ager Hough has promised to arrive in
time to attend.
The booster club idea was started
in Cedar Rapids, where the Bunny
Boosters last year produced an at
tendance of over 10000 the high
mark in the league and resulted in
the baseball association there paying
an income tax 1t was agitated here
some time ago and the report went
around the circuit that Clinton had
walked up as a resulted and fallen into
line, so that there are booster clubs
in Muscatine, Burlington, Waterloo,
and Cedar Rapids and others may be
formed. 1t will be necessary for
Clinton to make good in a hurry to
back up its reputation.
The booster club members will all
be given buttons, showing their
membership. The club will be semi
officially affiliated with the baseball
association and will get the inside
dope straight. They may conduct ex-
cursions to other cities when time is
propitious and the interest warrants
it The name of the club will be de-
cided upon by competition. Sug-
gestions will be received by the base
ball officers or the newspapers and
they will be given due publicity. The
winning name will bring to the sug-
gestor a family ticket to the first two
Sunday games at home.

might seem at first thought that this
new waistless back should have the
vote OF all of the masculine gender.
Encouraged by the success of the
Leu waists and others of that ilk,
the women have planned to do away
with backs altogether, as a special
treat for next summer. Passing
along the boulevard one will be sur
prised at the number of men that
peer over their shoulders with an
expression of delight and pleasure
at the dreams of fair women that go
by. Heighoi one good look at nature
makes the whole world kin.
The strained posture of the head
as one looks at the retreating fgur>
of a woman fashionably dressed-or
the back. will be quite
likely to disturb the ligaments of
the neck. This will bring on a new
disease known as the ''waistless
back" neck, for men only. And
though a great many men may suffer
from pains in the neck, most all OF
them will be willing to suffer in
silence.
