unite with the Lions in extending a
welcome to the baseball visitors, and

mis- and Rotary clubs and the Cham
Der of Commerce as care to dine
with them on that day, as joint hosts
to Cobb and Stallings, in a manner of

own luncheon at rs cents per plate,
as is the custom of all the clubs. The
expense of entertaining the visitors
will be taken care of by the Lions
themselves. No invitations will be
issued to the organizations, other
than the published notice, because of
the shortness of the time, it was said.
All members of these organizations
who care to accept the invitation for
that occasion, are asked by President
