Fat Vs Lean Baseball Teams to Raise Money for Episcopal Church Building Fund, Sept. 19, 1919

From the front page of The Roanoke Rapids Herald, Sept. 19, 1919

Did You Ever See a Fat Man Run?

Just the thing you have been wishing to see these many months—that famous baseball game on Saturday afternoon, yes, it is to be as advertised a truly “Leans” and “Fats” game. The Fats with such stars as Mr. Gay, “Chief Dobbin,” “Chief Hamlet” and Mr. “Big Mac” Allister are hopeful of victory but the Leans having Rev. Messrs. Few and Taylor, Mr. “Bill” Barkley, Prof. Coltrain, et. cetera, think they have the necessary goods needed to “bring home the bacon.”

The umpiring will be a feature.

The customary “Pop” peanuts and Jewish ice cream (Cohen cone) will be there in abusndance for your spare jitneys.

The Rosemary Band will live up to their reputation, furnishing such music as will be appropriate for such a solemn occasion.

The time is 3:30 sharp. The place is Rosemary Ball Park. The necessary mazuma is 25 cents. Children under 12 half fare.

If you want to spend an enjoyable afternoon, follow the crowd, and don’t be alone on the street.
Benefit All Saints (Episcopal) Church building fund, auspices Ladies Guild.

Come you! Come Everybody!
