the State is no sign that there will be
a walkover for them.
The San Franciscos will show a line
of battle that will be guarded by a
veteran who has seen service, and who
has victories behind him
Johnson, the Eastern man. will prob
ably be in the box for the visitors
and he has quite a reputation to main
tain. Little DreWs, the game boy who
worked with the Reliance of Oakland
last year, will act as backstop. Drews
| is known here, and last season was
formally nominated Hot Stuff" Josh
Riley, Stulz, Mcintyre and Watrous, ali
of whom were with the Reliance ag-
gregation last year. and who materi-
ally assisted in giving the Gilt Edges
several terrible drubbings, will also
work with the visitors, and regardless
of what the thermometer registers. q
torrid time is expected.
The Mertes brothers-Sam and Bill
will also wear San Francisco uniforms,
and will add to the spirit of the oc-
cason. Both were here last season,
and the work they did was worthy of
comment
The Gilt Edges will appear in their
new uniforms to-day, and if nattiness
will win games they ought to come in
hands down. Doyle will put the Eng
lish on the ball, and furnish geometri-
cal problems to puzzle the visitors,
while Harvey the Silent" will 81 after
any old thing that wanders into the
right garden.

clares, will be played out 'if it takes
all summer" and part of January. 1t
will not be called at the end Of the
eighth or any other inning, unless
