the local baseball club throws up the sponge and give up the game as a summer attraction and pastime in town and this will undoubtedly come to pass unless sport fans in general get behind the team win or lose and help financially by attending the games it is no encouragement to a club that is doing its best to play be fore a mere handful of spectators and pass the hat for a trifling three or four dollars when it takes five dol lars to pay an umpire and three dol lars for balls for the game not count ing the advertising sport in george town is coming through some trying times but we think there are men and women too big enough in georgetown to not let our athletic en deavors tail by the way and eventu ally become extinct what this town needs is an awakening to this fact lor what kind of town would this be if we had not athletic clubs the baseball club are not asking for your dollars all they want ls your sup port for which they will dish up at least a fair brand of amateur- bail let all
