Hanford, chairman of the committee issued the following statement: “The baseball section, which is probably the most important feature in this drive, will need about $150 to carry it through the year. There is at present an overdue bill of $124 for suits, balls, bats, gloves and other equipment. The club wishes to clear this up as soon as possible. “The balance of the amount rais- 2d will be spread over miscellan- 2ous expenses such as tennis, basket- ball, special programs outside and in the Legion hall and other incident- als. “Two small bills have already been disposed of, which were charg- ed against the printing of tickets. “The boys, themselves have pai 220 in memberships which has been qulte a help to the club in dispos ing of small debts that have been incurred.
