BASEBALL TEAM IS
ABOUT To BUST
Unless the Ocala Fans Give Immed-
late and Solid Support, the Season
For This City is Over

Unless you lovers of the national
sport jar loose and show a little of
your long green the baseball season is
about over IN Ocala. The team is on
its last legs and it is not the teams
fault. 1t is the fault of the rainy
weather and the bum support of the
Ocala fans. The crowds have not
been as large as they should be and
yet the class of baseball that has been
put up by the team is better than any
previous year in the history of local
ball.
You business men who don't like
baseball but give because it is a good
cause, might look up last week S
Times Unions and read about the
games in Lake City. Almost the entire
sporting page was devoted to talk
about the Ocala team. This looks like
publicity to US and publicity for a
town is pretty good advertising
Seems like a little invested in the
team will bring indirect results even
if you hate baseball like a 10-year-old
boy hates the bath tub.
You so-called fans who love the old
ball game and want to attend them all
this summer had better get move on
and see that some money is turned
in to Cecil Bryant, Dick Stroud or Mr..
Rose because those high officials say
baseball is almost thing of the past
Here is financial report to Satur-
day, June 10th. Does it look like
baseball is good for much longer this
season unless you tightwads and
others shake loose a little? Look
what rotten gate receipts Aren't you
ashamed?
