If the big field meet to be held ut
Rourke park on Sunday, October 4, is q
rip-roaring success the Omaha base ball
lists can figure or a big banquet to be
held at the Auditorium or some other
spacious place some time during the latter
part of October. At the present writing,

wager that sixty teams will be enrolled

joining early to avoid the rush Figuring
on sixty teams and allowing each team
twelve players, an official tabulator and
manager, making total of fourteen,
there win be $50 eligible to participate in
the field meet.
Could Sell Many Tickets.
If each member of the association could
arrange to dispose of five tickets or get

witness this base ball function 1t would
be an easy matter for the gate receipts
to defray the expenses of a sumptuous
repast. and 1t certainly would DO a grand
thing for the boys to get together for the
purpose of enjoying the sociability OF each
other for at least enc night after a Cruel
