Let's Abolish This Evil. I take the liberty to appeal to the men whose enthusiasm waxes so high that they wager on ball games. Consider the future of the boys and young men who atterd the games. Abolish open gambling at the ball park. Your broad mind will admit that it is a bad example to set for the young boys and I know you are interested in their future welfare. Organized Baseball is becoming more and more a clean, manly sport. You can help its progress by abolishing open gambling. To insure success and to furnish clean sport for all, the Oakdale team desires and requires the moral support of the entire community.. I venture to shy and I know that many people who enjoy clean sport, do not attend our games because they see evil of open betting. Think it over and accept this eartiest appeal from a ballplayer who is interested in elevating baseball to the highest plane possible. EARL PRUESS.
