m., for the purpose of making
arrangements for the base ball

One of the main matters to be

of new seats, and a3 that expense
will depend upon public subscrip
tions, you are asked to have your
mind made up as to how much
you will donate for such work.
The Icne base ball team has al
ready been a good drawing card
for the business men of lone,
and you must not expect the boys
to do the playing and pay the
bills, so let every live wire of
Line turn out and show the boys
that you are willing to help them
keep lone out of the rut.
Every ball player should report
at this time so that we will know
what material we will have to
pick a winning team from.

of the Lexington team in a fast (
game last Friday night on the;
local floor, by a score of 5 to 2. j
Owing to the fact that this was!

both of the teams, the basket!
shooting was not very accurate, i
Both sides, however, were good '
at passing and close guarding, j
the lone tossers having the best ;
of it by a good margin at hand!-!
ing the ball.. No individual stars!
were evident on either team, the ;
honors being about equal. j
In the prelimary game, the;
lone 2nd team proved to be no i
match for Lexingtons representa
tives, and were defeated 20 to 2. '
