~ HARRY DiDDLEeock.
Baseball fans all over the county

into which they have seemed to sinl
during the past month or 50 by the Of

series of games for the championship
Of Wayne county and that the manag
ers are waking up to the importance
OF such series Is Attested by the
following letter received last night.
Hagerstown, Ind. Aug. Is.
Dear Sir:
When 1t comes to the county cham.
pionship for baseball lately 1t seems
to appear that Hagerstown has been
left out. when at the same time the
teams who claim the title in the Pal.
ladium OF August 16. have nearly all
been defeated this season by Hagers.

Now We. the fans and team Of Hag.

Yours truly,
Since Mr. Bryson's letter was writ.

the committee. arranging this series
of games, to meeting at the Y. M.

there are any others who have not
heard from the committee and who
think they are entitled to take part in
these important games, they are now
invited. Their presence will be ap-
preciated.
When this series is played, endless
discussion will cease as to which town
has the best ball club and the games
are sure to attract large crowds for
the best baseball talent in Eastern
Indiana will participate.
A THE meeting tomorrow night q
schedule committee will be appoint
ed and other committees necessary to
look after the business arrangements
will be named.
George Brehm and Sam Vigran, rep
resenting the Richmond team, are
anxious for such series and will
both be at the meeting.

Red" Sewers, of New Paris, will
be on hand and judging from the let.
ter printed above, Hagerstown is sure
to be represented.
The committee arranging this series
will probably donate silver cup to
the winner, emblematic Of the cham
pionship. and this cup will go to the
team winning the championship for
two successive years.
II it. should happen that one team
wins this year and another team wins
next year. the cup will be held by the
winner of the championship while it
retains the honors.
No suggestion has been made as to
the disposition Of the receipts and
nothing will be done in that regard
until the matter has been taken up
with the managers.
