The Chamber of Commerce isn't in the baseball business but is al ways glad to help anything good by at hut bringing the opportunity to the peo ple The fans will have to help make a guarantee if they want the game but the guarantee will not apply unless the weather ia good so that the game can be flayed, so there are really no teeth tn flke guarantee.
