Ball Game to Help Swell Red Cross Funds.

In order to increase the Red Cross funds in Monticello, it is being planned to have a benefit ball game during some afternoon the next week between the Co. C boys and a team made up of the business and professional men of the city. The funds would go to the Red Cross. It is thought that in this way a considerable sum could be raised. This plan seems like a very practical one and one that might be well adopted in this city. Everything connected with the game could be furnished free. The business houses could no doubt be induced to close their places for a couple of hours, thereby giving everyone a chance to attend the game. A team could be secured easily from Company M, and one could be made up of those about town., All that is needed is some one whip has the interest of the Red Cross at heart to volunteer to get up the teams and make arrangements. Who will volunteer?
