BASEBALL FANS!!
Thanks to the Nogales International, local baseball fans are receiving this year for the first time FREE, play by play service, on the World's Series.
The International, having forced our friend up the street to supply free service upon the World's Series, has cancelled its returns and will enjoy those received over the electric scoreboard of the Nogales Baseball Association located on the roof of Harry Connor's tailor shop.
In years gone by local fans were "soaked" to the tune of fifty cents admission to theaters or hotel lobbies to get a service that has always been given elsewhere free by newspapers.
The local daily announced ten days or two weeks ago that the electric scoreboard would be in a local theater this year. After The International announced last Sunday a free, play by play service, the local daily "changed its mind" and was forced to give the service FREE outdoors, which is exactly what we wanted them to do for the benefit of the fans.
There are two electric scoreboards in operation, the baseball association's board being used by the daily paper, and the Twenty-fifth Infantry's being used at the Ali Baba Theater at Camp Little. No other board was available here for The International's proposed service, and neither could a modern electric board, playograph, etc., be purchased the past week at Phoenix, Tucson, or Mesa.
