' Wilson, BALL GANES MUST BE BETTER PATRONIZED Mr. Verigan, a tall, good looking six-footer, is the latest additicn to Lakeland’s thousand per cent ball team, having arriveq yesterday af- ternobn to take a Pposition with the club as pitcher. Lakeland has one splendiq pitcher In the person of Mr. Gillespie, but one pitcher can- net hold down the job throughout the season and the Pittsburg twirler was secured. And, talking about our team, Sec- retary and Treasurer Joe LeVay said today: “The games MUST be bet- ter patronizeq or the games will have to be calleg off. The debt that is hanging over the Association on ac- count of the grounds must be paid and we are trying to lower it with the gate receipts, but it takes so much to get the teams here, etc., that unless the crowds turn out we will not be able to have many more games."” Now everybody decide to go out to the Athletic Fielq tomorrow and root for Lakeland’s all-star, thousand per cent team. She hasn’t lost a game this season, and it is said Arcadia is coming with the idea that she will carry away our sealp. Let's see that she don't by going out and encouraging the home team by fill- ing the grand stand completely as several of the team will promise home runs if every seat is taken. W. C. T. U.
