Accompanied by the shouts of the loyal fans who were aware of the fact the banner announcing the fact that Bluffton is the pennant winner of the Northern Indiana league, for the season of 1909, was strung across Main street from the court house at 10:45 today. The base ball team with some of the fans purchased and had the banner painted, which reaches nearly across the street. They did not attempt to make any display about it, but went about the matter quietly and put the banner in the place without announcing he fact. The fans gave up a shout when they saw it—Bluffton Banner. i > Crystal Theatre t J The Newest Shows, The Best Films, Courteous Treatment.
