With nearly one hundred indi-
vidual subscriptions totaling ap-
proximately $1,000 reported in tc
the Office of the Rock Islans Fans
association up to yesterday, work
ers today resumed their intensive
soliciting campaign. Judging by
the wonderful response of fandom
there is every reason to anticipate
that the fund will never stop at
$4,000, the original goal. 1t would
seem that the lovers of the game
are intent upon placing the associa-
tion on sound financial basis Tor
the rest of the season.
Four teams of enthusiastic so
licitors jumped into the harness
this morning. They vowed to use
fine comb on the city in order that
no one shall be overlooked.
Since last Thursday, when an
amount suffici to cover the pay
roll then due was collected, the
fund has been growing steadily day
by day, principally by the efforts
of the ever-loyal fans and boosters.
Many of them have kept plugging
away, and the good results of these
endeavors are readily apparent
Not a small portion of the money
received has come in voluntarily to
the office of the fans association.
Letters accompanying these dona-
tons express a sincere hope that
Rock Island will meet the issue sue
cessfully.
Mail Subscription.
Believing that there are a great
number of such fans willing to give
who very likely will not be can
vassed, The Argus submits blank
form TO be filled out and mailed into
the Office of the fans association,
room 223, Robinson building, &C
compan.ed by the donation. Give
any amount; nothing is too small
for the officers OF directors of the
association not to appreciate it
Small amounts readily grow into
large totals. The thing to do any
how is not to wait for the solicitor
to call and give you a sales talk
but to act now, if not sooner, by
making use of the subscription
blank
These men whose names you will
find in the list as prepared to yes
terday are all live fellows. That's
why their names are down without
waiting to see what the other is
going to do. They all have shown
great willingness to save baseball
for Rock Island, said willingness
extending to the lower seam of theil
pockets.
At any rate, if your name is not
already down, see that it gets there
before long.
