j. D. Morton, Manager of the Oak

'Ithe been in communication with the
several clubs, and has made offers re-

satisfactory.
he returned from San Francisco last
evening and reports that all prelimi-
nary matters have been settled and
that representatives of the several
tournament teams will meet in this city
some time during the present week and
perfect an organization.
The formation of a State organiza-
ton means that the present tourna-

The COrkers have strengthened their
team materially, and are prepared for
hard struggle. They have secured an
Eastern pitcher for to-morrow's game,
and pin their faith on him. His name
is Mcnamara, and he is a recent ar
rival in this State. He has speed to
burn" and has some quick, sharp
curves.
They will also have Ed. Overmeyer
of Lodi on hand in case anything
should happen to Mcnamara. and will
put him in the box if necessary. Sur
geson and Billy Newbert will also play
with them, and will strengthen them
greatly. both in fielding and batting

hitters and the best base-runners in
the State. Should they lose this after
moons game they will be dropped from
the tournament series. so they are de-
termined not to lose.
