CItv q Basehan Center.

This season, from all indications,
will he the most successful one, gen
orally speaking, in the history of pro-
fessional baseball. Everywhere the
same conditions prevail and the open
ing games in the larger leagues have
been well attended wherever weather
WAS favora BILE. In Rock Island, which
has a reputation as one of the best
baseball towns of its size in the
west. the record of attendance at a
baseball game was broken at the first
exhibition contest. In fact this city
has properly come to be something
more than the ordinary i'll minds of
the fans all over the country, for it
is the seat of government of two
leagues. the Threc-I and the Western.
To this city will come the troubles
and fluctuations of fifteen outside
teams and from the office of Presi-
dent Sexton in this city viii go forth
the edicts that will make or mar the
status of the national game in the
west. This of itself * enough to
keep local excitement running high
and there is no doubt whatever that
Rock Island will live up to, if not
surpass its past records in the mat
ter of attendance at the games.
