Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 173, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 July 1915 — Why Not a Baseball Game in Rensselaer? [ARTICLE]

Why Not a Baseball Game in Rensselaer?

While Rensselaer is tljibking about a swimming pool and other things the other nearby towns are having a good time. We are not knocking the swimming pool in the least for we want it badly, but can’t we live in the present as well as in the future? We have not had a baseball game here since school closed. Delphi is enjoying the great national sport by games held by the Sunday school league each week. Monticello recently put up an exhibition of the leans against the fats and soon the business mens league will play the doctors and lawyers in that town. On Wednesday of next week Monon will suspend business, the occasion being a game between the fats and leans of that town. These games furnish mudh amusement for those who play as well as the observers. Rensselaer might play a game of this kind and then play with some other town or have another home game, the proceeds to go towards a swimming pool.

Mrs. James ■Campbell went to Union City today for a visit with relatives and friends.
