director "f the Young Mems cub or
Lake Forest. and last Year lie sprung on

spreading all over the district around
chicago. and Whtcn offers solution tor
one of The great problems of sport.
His luc, y simple one. He decided
tha, Lake Fvr,S, would have IT'S own
baseball club. not Il ;ram laying Tor
Lake Forest ami hlr"d from score or
towns and cities. or recruited merely
to win ball games. Lake Forest had
had such teams for ears. They S'.-
dom paid expenses. and they never
brought any credit or honor TO me town.
brown decided that n" IN" p.a! 'nE
on the Lake Forest team should be paid
a cent. and that no one could pay o"
the team unless Il bona lidc resident OF
Lake Forest The majority h"otcd at nus
,dea They declared that the team would
not BE- any good. as Lake Forest de-
yelopcd few players. and that the people
demanded a winner.
Now tho Plan Has worked.
Tho ScofrcrS are silent now. Listen

nrof"ssiona! team n Chicago. Similar
results were attained N basketball.
sncahng OF professional: bali th"r" has
developed 4 great pride IN playing for
home. Every young fellow has his fHI-
lowing. and the spirit OF tho thing has
even reacted on the spectators. The old
days OF betting and profanity on thc
bl.achers has gone almost entirety. Tn"
best people OF the town. Including ndieS
and church people. are regular al
PENDANTS, even though the games are
playcd on Sundays only. Not player
receives q cent for his services at any
time IN any form. We are making 4
special effort to treat our visitors in 81 III
n way that they will want 10 come back.
and 50 far we are securing teams from
Chicago for expenses only.
