 That Before Season Is Past Wonderful

The farthest sta. ions they will supply are Hogan's on The Fairbanks line and MCntasta on The Eagle line.

BIG GRO W D
AT F All R
GROUNDS
TO WITNESS CONTEST BETWEEN
REPUBLICANS AND HELENA.
Score is to 2-Amateurs Make
Good Showing Against Helena.

About LOO people visited the Fair
ness the ball game between the Re-
publican team of Salt Lake and the
Helena nine, the latter team having
been stationed at Ogden for the past
few weeks doing practice work for the
coming International league games,
which will begin on the Salt Lake
diamond tomorrow.
The game was very one-sided, but
it was not uninteresting. The Re-
publican team Is an amateur organi-
zation, and 1t was not expected that
1t would play anything like profes'
sional ball, and above all, be able to
compete with the Helena team. The
visitors. however. played good game,
doing the very best they could against
the Montana giants. The Republicans
are surely very promising amateur
team. and no doubt Will make good
showing before the season is over.
Manager Illusions team enters the
league games for the season in very
fine form and will undoubtedly finish
well in the contests. Helena may we'll
feel proud OF her ball twirlers and
