Oakland Outlaws Victorious in
Opening Game Across Bay
Three Thousand Fans and a Brass Band Help
Dedicate the New Ball Park
By William J. SIattery

The first bombshelI from fortress
Oakland of the outlaw California base
ball league was tossed at the Coast
league yesterday afternoon across the
bay It came in the grand opening OF
the season by the foes of organized
baseball. and it proved an important
and worthy factor in the history of
the national game in California. The
Oakland and San Francisco teams faced
each other in the initial warmup, and
the transbay organization won out by
scoring the lone run OF the game in
the tenth inning.
Those who believed that the State
league would make a bloomer in its
maiden endeavor across the bay were
forced TO open their eyes in sheer as
constituent, while the friends of the
outlaws We're in raptures over the sight
that met their eyes. Though the aft
ernoon was cold and chilly and the
sky seemed ready TO open its fioodgates,
some 5000 fans adorned the grand
stand and bleachers and they proved
to be as enthusiastic and bright
bunch of rooters as ever graced a ball
park on any opening day.
Everything was new and spick- The
new field and the new grandstand and
the new suits which the players wore
all seemed TO harmonize with the oc-
casion. Everything was in keeping
with the day and everybody seemed
pleased from Manager Cy Moreing
down to the village goat that was
peacefully devouring tin cans on the
vacant lot opposite the park 1t was a
good day for everybody connected with
the outlaw forces.
Before Umpire Jimmy Doyle sent the
boys on their way there was a big au-
tomobile parade through the streets
OF Oakland. This was headed by a
brass band and an army of small boys,
who marched ahead proclaiming the
outlaw league to the world. Every
fan in Oakland was made aware that
the big outlaw day was at hand and
that the forces had been marshaled.

McHale. one of the best stickers on
the Oakland salary list, was a bit too
anxious, for he popped up an easy foul
to the catcher on the first ball pitched
This made the second down and it
looked as though San Francisco was
safely out of the woods. but Cooper's
south wing failed to respond and the
erratic southpaw walked Tommy Shee-
han, forcing in Hoag and breaking up
the spectacular and interesting contest
Outside of that tenth inning. neither
team was very dangerous on the paths.
Oakland had few chances earlier In
the game, but brisk fielding on the
part of the San Francisco contingent
spoiled all these and the Oakland gang
was. forced to start in all over again
Both sides played a wonderfully fast
game in the field and many chances
that looked like real live base hits were
deftly devoured by the nimble men on
the job. The outielders also did their
work well. though they did allow sew
eral Texas 1eaguers to get away from
them, which from the grandstand
looked to be soft enough for any busher
to capture.
elegant ball. The former. who started
his baseball career In Oakland and
played steadily with that team up TO
three years ago. was given great
ovation by the fans, and he responded
by pitching perfect ball, allowing but
six scattered hits. striking out seven
men and going through the nine in
nings without issuing a pass.
OLD FAvoRITEs THERE
Both teams shaped up well far better
in fact than the average fan looked
for. Oakland's lineup is well known to
the local fans. It's pitchers are Moski-
man. Bloomfield and Henderson, all for
mer Coast leaguers. In the infield are
Joe Nealon, Tommy Sheehan. Terry Nc
Kune and Campbell. the three former
serving their time with various clubs
OF the rival league.
The San Francisco contingent also

The Dread
tuberculosis Germ
95 Per Cent. Of Men and Women, over
18 Years Of Age, Eave Tuberou-
lous Germs in Their System.

Leading doctors and diagnosticians,
who have spent many years in study
and research, state that 95 per cent
Of the population over eighteen years
of age have tuberculous germs in some
part of their body.
Many people think of tuberculosis
as a disease of the lungs only. They
do not realize that it may occur in any
organ or tissue of the body. 1t is only
one form of tuberculosis when it af-
fects the lungs and is then known as
pulmonary consumption, but this same
tuberculous germ affects the liver.
stomach joints and other parts of the
body, and thousands who suffer are
told by their doctors that they have
rheumatism or uric acid or lack of cir
collation., or one of the many well known
diseases. when il is nothing else than
the insidious working of the tuberou-
lovs germ, and the patient has con-
sumption of tine part affected j0st as
surely as ne has pulmonary consumr-
tion when the lpngs are affected.
The enormous percentage OF men and
women thus affected shows the i'm
portance of taking proper care OF tao
health before this dread tuberculous
germ has made an inroad into the sys-
tom beyond repair.
II these cases were properly dag

rho secret of the marvellous success
of Ounys Pure Malt Whiskey in c.ring
and preventing lung and tuberculous
troubles lies in the fact that it's the
greatest strengthener and health build
er known to medicine. Il not only
checks the ravages of the disease itself,
but replaces tho weakened. destroyed
