of the great inducements for ball play
ers TO play in that section is the great
opportunity for investment as the coun.
try is new and promising The Calgary
team is backed BY stock company Of
"Calgary's most solid business men, A
remarkable feature about the league is
that games commence at seven O'clock
in the evening, sometime after the crowds
have left the Intercity park. The bust
ness houses close there at six o'clock,
and there is daylight from that time
until 10 p. m. The climate is said to
be 'ideal," as they sometimes play base
ball in January. During exhibition week

best field for ball players, 50 engaged
