condition that the players refused to go
to work unless their bosses staked
them to whitehall boats. 1t was found
impossible to round up the regulation

The Oakland outlaws were to have
made their initial bow to the fans in

with, and there is bare possibility
that the opening date may have to be
postponed one day. The grounds are
new, and consequently the rain plays
havoc with them.
Moreing says everything except the
weather is in his favor. He says that
the Oakland fans are warming up to
his bunch nicely, and he feels conf
