PaHsade Base Ball
Club Needs Support
Say The Managers

AS the recently appointed man.
ayers of the Palisade Baseball Club
it has fallen to our lot to schedule
games for the coming season anc
look out for the financial interests Of
the team.
The record of the Palisade Base
ball Clubs team in 1915 and the cog
nizance that the residents of this Hill
top turned out in full to witness the
AL attractions put up by the Pail
SADIE Baseball Club and their oppo-
nents last year, serves as an ex-
cellent criterion, that the Hilltop will
support baseball games "above the
average" played in years past.
The playing material required to
combat against such teams as the
Oritani F. c., of Hackensack, Seventh
Regiment, N. Y, C. M. S., and Hack
ensack Wheelmen, of Hackensack,
cannot be obtained from one town.
In gathering the best players avail
able, from Palisade, Fort Lee, Edge
water, Grantwood and Cliffside-we
are making the Palisade Baseball
Team representation of south
eastern Bergen county, not purely a
mediocre local affair, and as such we
seek and implore the support from
all these towns for the coming season,
and assure you that your trips to the
Palisade Fairgrounds Of a Saturday
afternoon to watch the boys your
boys-play against the strongest
teams Of amateur strength, will af-
ford you pleasure beyond words and
at the same time assist US in making
both ends meet.
Perhaps it will be we'll to set forth
in figures the expenses of running a
strong team and booking worthy op-
ponents.
The cost of keeping the field in
good condition is a fixed and heavy
item, for draining it, killing the
weeds in the outfeld and rolling it.
The cost of bats, balls and other
baseball necessities, is another fixed
item.
The repairing of the grandstand,
installation of new seats, a large
scorebeard and dressing room,
looms up as a tremendous item. All
this is essential before the cry "Play
Ball" is heard.
This year we have a game
scheduled on April %, with the 7th
Regiment, New York.
We are obliged to pay full carfare
for eleven men, and furnish the team
with dinner and entertainment after
the game. Twenty-Five dollars will
just about cover it.
We have game pending with the
New York firemen and New York
policeman. The New York Stock
Exchange and Curb Market. All of
these games cost us a great deal of
money.
Other large teams in Jersey de-
mand guarantees running from $40
to $25.
It is clear that if you want the
best you have to pay for it.
We want to give the best, for we
feel and know that the residents of
the Hilltop will only turn out for
"The Best"
The larger the crowd that turns
out to witness our Saturday after
noon games, the better will be the
attractions offered throughout the
season, for we can then afford to
book only the best.
Come on out and root hard for the
team this year. Root for the boys
your boys. Your team-for it is your
team, and surely you want to make
it a team to be proud of. A team
that hopes to play worthily against
the best in the land.
Stick pin in the calendar for
April %, opening date, against the
Seventh Regiment.
Gentlemen will be assessed Is
cents, and ladies 10 cents.
In the meantime if you have in
YOUR heart desire to make dona-
ton in order that the field will be
in good condition, the balls and bats
paid for, etc., please send same as
soon as possible, to Charles T. Logan,
ir., or to the assistant-man-
ager. and same will be Immediately
acknowledged in the "Palisadian."
Yours for a successful season,
Orrin A. Briefly,
Assistant-manager.

Manager.
