Owing to the fact that the season has been unusually bad for the ball team the Finance committee have found that the pledges for August have already been used. The games Sunday with Cherokee at the Casino and Monday and Tuesday with the All Nation could not be played on account of rain and this complicated the situation more than ever. Members of the Commercial Club met on Monday morning and decided to carry the team through the month of August by extra pledges. The gate receipts have been small and bad weather has in many cases interfered with the big .... on the splendid days.
