lSES GOOD TIME
COAST LEAGUE TEAMS WILL PLAY
UNDER ARC LIGHTS
Honorable Peanut Bearers" Will Be
on Duty, Led by Actor-seVeral
Thousand Tickets Sold
by Boosters

Dick Ferris "nightinee," in all its
blaze of glory, will be the event of the
hour tonight at Chutes park. The San
Francisco and Los Angeles Coast
league baseball teams will play the first
night game on the coast. There Will be
a baseball game, it is true, but there
will be other attractions as we'll. Fer
ris, of course, will be one of them'
Our Dick has been the prime mover III
the enterprise, which has for Its pur-
pose the raising of funds for the BOOST
ers of Los Angeles comprising the Elks
White Squadron drill corps TO heraiu
the advantages possessed by the city
on their trip to San Francisco to partl-
cipate in the Portola week festivities.
There will be peanut sellers, who in
broad daylight might be recognized as
staid business men. Ferris himself will
captain the peanut squad, and the list
of his assistants is so formidable that
it is probable the cry of sold out Will
be ringing at frequent intervals. OF
course there will be an admission
charged, but it won't be so large as to
prove burdensome or too small for the
occasion. The general admission Will
be 25 cents, and a charge of the same
amount will be made for the grand
stand.
ne 'FeanuL Bearers
In the list of honorable peanut bear
ers" are included Dug White, Jonsey,
Charlie Kits, Eddie Maier, Al Woodill,
Terry Maze and few others who are
not mentioned because they are too
bashful to have their names printed.
John Brink has been selected to umpire
the game, and Hen Berry will be there
also. Hen has promised to wear his red
hat and sell few peanuts and make
himself generally useful.
A band will be there with bells and
other contrivances to make sweet mu-
sic. There will be foot races either be-
fore or after the game, between MEM
bers of the two teams. The fastest men
on the teams, including Howard, Smith,
Ross, Beall and Daley of the Anegls,
and zeider, Mohler, Davis, Berry and
others of the Seals probably will be
pitted against each other.
Game at P. M.
The game will be called promptly at
o'clock. Although the evening is to
be given up to class A good time, the
game will be a bona f1de exhibition of
the national sport. The Angels and the
Seals have been rivals for years, and
every time they come together things
happen. There won't be an idle mo-
p1ent in the entire evening, not If Dick
Ferris can help it.
A particular feature has been made
of preparing especially for the women.
Grand stand seats will be available, the
band is brought out just for their en-
tertainment, and the grand stand has
been lighted brilliantly in order that the
hats can be inspected closely without
making the inspection noticeable.
The lights we're tested last night and
were found to be entirely satisfactory.
In addition to the row of poles, the
lights of which will flood the outf1eld
with arc brilliancy, an extra row has
been installed around the infield, and
the sky will be as bright as day. Every
booster will be out, for last night it
was announced that several thousand
tickets have been sold.
