i There is something going on at
Ithe ball grounds—
[ Do you want your boys to play
| ball? It is a healthy sport and
several grown ups are there to
help the kids every practice
game. You will be surprised at a
loi of ten to twelve year old boy
players, they bat the ball all over
the field—from six to nine p. m.
and are learning the game. Our
juniors will soon take on the will
to play the 13 to 15 year olds.
Parents should bring their
boys to the Fairgrounds after six
o’clock and come for them at
nine p. m. They will be tired and
ready for bed—a few of the dads
are coming now and enjoying
themselves.
