GAMES ON MANY DIAMONDS.
The Railroad League at Oak Park To-
Morrow.
Games To-Day and Tomorrow at
Agric ultural Park and
Other Places.

The grand opening game of the new
Southern Pacific Baseball League will
be played by the Paint Shop and Car
Shop teams tomorrow afternoon at
Oak Park, and will no doubt be worth
seeing. The league mines have all been
strengthened, and hereafter if a weak
spot is detected it will be filled with
better material
The two teams which will play to-
morrow are very evenly matched. and
as there is considerable rivalry between
them they promise that the game will
be baseball from beginning to close.
The management says that admirers of
the game will witness high-class per-
formance, and that what they say may
be depended on.
Later in the season a select nine will
be picked from all the clubs in the
league, which will be ready 10 meet all
| corners. 1t is hoped by the Board Of
Directors that the patrons of baseball
will show their appreciation of the new
league and encourage the boys by Civ
ing the opening game large at
tendance. The admission fee viii be
ten cents instead Of twenty-five cents
as heretofore.
