Thf 1 cltib Beet's ijrw suits crd new At a recent of fans and players, It was estimated that $500 would be needed by the club to start the seaoon.

This should be raised easily among fans and business men. Gamea here on Sundays and other days will bring more people to Iowa City than by any other means and this means much money spent in the Athens and the amount to be raised is small Indeed as compared to the returns and the fame which this eity can win. Soon subscriptions will be sought and every loyal citiien end fan should contribute generously and make baseball certain here this year. After the $500 Is raised, then It's tip to the fans to be liberal at the park for if the best teams are to come here, more money be available to pay these teams.
