"JIMMY" JIB
OPENS HEADQUARTERS
Started Canvass Today to Raise
Funds to Purchase Desir
able Players
Wilmington, Del., March 10.—"Jim
my" Jackson, manager of the Wil
mington Tri-State team, has moved
into "Peachtown" for the summer. H<.
will make frequent trips in search of
players, but his home will be here
until the league season ends.
Manager Jackson's first announce
ment was that he will need from
$2,500 to $5,000 to recruit and equip
the team as it should be during the
coming season, and the owners of the
team and Manager Jackson feel that
an appeal to the civic pride of the resi
dents of Wilmington will result in the
necessary amount being subscribed.
Manager Jackson has been desig
nated by the owners to call on the
business men of Wilmington to try to
get subscriptions to at least $2,500 of
stock in the club. He also will present
the matter to the Chamber of Com
merce ami t 0 th e Wilmington Develop
ment Company.
Wilmingtonians will be asked to
take stock in any amounts that will
tend to make up the total of at least
$2,500 needed. The more persons who
become stockholders the better it will
be for the team. It is figured out that
if fifty persons each should subscribe
to SSO worth of stock it would give the
amount needed, or if one hundred per
sons should subscribe to $2 5 worth of
stock it would put the team on a
sound basis, and at the same time give
the buyers of stock a personal interest
1n the success of the team.
