They think that now is the time for the citizens of Whiting to show their appreciation of the advertising Mr. Zimmerman has given the town, by maintaining a good ball club in the face of many financial losses, and come to his assistance by helping to rebuild the grandstand at the earliest possible moment. In speaking. of the unfortunate affair this morning Mr. Zimmerman said he didn't see how he could go ahead and rebuild the stand alone, as he had been under many heavy expenses lately and didn't feel that he could afford it. He said further that unless the citizens of Whiting would come to his assistance he was afraid he would have to disband his team and in that case Whiting would not have a representative in the Northern Indiana league this year.
