Base ball study closely financial condtions they, in
ferrous ways prevalence lack of surplus cash. and
readily reach conclusion to whether those inclined to sport

This confidence then the base ball situation business

dtons.
IT, base ball business it desirable one to have in
Efforts being made constantly to bring
out any of industry which will add to the prosperity OF
commonwealth town, or city.
Is base ball advantageous from this standpoint 50 Tar as

The base ball player generally good spender Taking the

money he spends.
With the player game largely business With the
spectator amusement 1t is fact derived from the his
tory back it be traced that the human
ganzation of entertainment The most
age the face of the globe have their native and
Dances many be found rude traces of ocaed theatre

People must be amused If not at home then elsewhere
ball team will the people, they will attend under favorable

citizens Neighborng communities and in the OF
Pocomoke there why the fan Of Snow HILL Berlin
Stockton Gderee and county general together with
neghbong ball towns Somerset should not here to
the national sport
The fact they do. The next question u.s. Do they conne
their expenditures to the purchase of ticket to the gae Not
if Pocomoke has any commercial advantages oe and alive
to the advantages of giving such advantages all needed publicity
And Pocooke people have the reputation of being hus This
being the there chance of business resulting from the
of ball club in town. and it is only thoroughly alive
upodat thriving community that generally harbors profess
sional ball club
We think consequently the business should get behind
the ball team here The volume of money turned will be
great but the turnover is there land the stays the
town. Furthermore it puts Pocomoke City the map and
medium of advertising that is of special value Doubtless
Of the team here matter of pride the citizens
tho many may not contribute to it's support.
And should that the business should be sesup

will yield fair profit though may be indsposed
credit the game with such.
Let every business get behind the management
