To the Public:
The young men of Annapolis
have at last started an athletic
club, something that has been
lacking for some years. TO pro-
mote clean sports OF all kinds and
better healthier and able citizens
of Annapolis.
This club started with a few
members and the Increase has
been amazing. which goes to
show that the young men of this
town are willing to strive and
make a name for Annapolis in the
way of sports, as well as good.
reliable citizens.
Within the last five months the
Vagabonds played i6 games of
basketball and won l3. Boxing and
wrestling were also top-notch
sports and the cluD captured
every bout contested In this
connection the club wishes TO
take this opportunity to thank the
people OF Annapolis for the gem
erous support they gave during
these events.
Now the time has come that the
club needs a meeting house. as
we'll as gymnasium. In which to
train the young men for all
branches of sport. and now is the
time we need the loyal support of
every citizen OF Annapolis. Nearly
every family in Rnnapolis has a
relative who is member and who
engages in some kind of sport.
Again we say, now is the time
we need your support in financing
the erection of building of this
kind, something that is needed in
this community. The smallest
contribution will be graciously
received and fully appreciated, as
we intend to show you in the
near future
knowing we have your loyal
support. we remain,
