They WIN Depart for san Diego Thls
Morning.
The Roosters and their friends leave
this morning for the long-heralded base
ball game and subsequent social festivi-
ties at San Diego.
The Rooaters as ball club first ep-
peared last summer, and from the start
has been uniformly successful. Bringing
into the game fair degree OF profess
sional skill and gentlemanly bearing
on the field. their contests have been
very popular to those OF both sexes who
saw in baseball q healthy, interesting
recreation.
Conquering with manifest ease and
exasperating regularity all the amateur
clubs in this neighborhood, their ambi-
tion decided them to reach oct for fields
of further conquest, and the San Diego
game was arranged.
Manager Ben Johnson, whom every
| body knows and who knows every body
in Southern California, announces that
his players are in the pink Of condition
and OF determination to win. and con-
slant study and practice at the game for
the past month count as factor in the
success of the club; then he will win
and return with the scalps OF that SAN
gui-e crowd in the city near the border
line.
MANAGE JuAnson's conviction of q
successful outcome ls inrtaer reinforced
by the fact that he BOOSTERS will take
along with 'hem as their mascot,
Virgil II - ckereon, "the king OF
the Blacks" 'irkerson, born in Texas,
has during / seven years of bis life In
a ttuuzl Ia IL ts<xks
'lone star" hand aud is quite leader
full Upper OF pugilietic and other sport
inc events, he has bean singularly Huc-
cessful and invariably picks the winner.
Arrayed in a costume made especially
for this and no other occasion, he will
present rich splendor OF the above.
A leading halter has donated silk hat,
and Carter, whose business is with the
ton and ultra fashionable, will see that
the costume is not incomplete because
OF the lack Of proper linen.
With regard to his players, Manager
johnson hiss inaugurated q startling In.
novation in baseball costuming, and
has selected the cults with extreme
care and rare discrimination. They
themselves will be worth going miles to
see. to mention nothing OF the game.
The mandate has gone forth that no
coaching by the Rooetere will be per-
mitted. as the shirts will be loud enough
and are warranted to speak for them
selves. The club will line up at the bat
in the following order: Hopperstead,
center field; Pauly, short stop; Le-
lande, catcher: Bumiller, pitcher; Ed.
wards, second base; Mcknight, third
base, Bundrem, first base: Vanderbeck,
