Tomorrow afternoon the Sacramento
Coast league team will play the Los
Angeles champions in a regular league
game at Tournament park, Pasadena
the game being a test of the following
held nv the organized ball organization
in The Crown city, and having been ar
ranged after weeks of effort on the
part of the Pasadena fans 10 secure
such q contest. Believing that the foot
hill city will turn out solidly to support
the movement to play occasional games
in that city. Henry Berry aceedea TO
the urgent representations OF the dele
cations which visited him several times,
and after communication with Captain
Dillon and with Captain Manager
Charlie Graham of the Senators the
Wednesday play was decided on. This
is the first movement of its kind in the
south, and has the support of all those
who are interested in the welfare OF
continuous ball south of the Tehachapl.
Pasadena is making great prepara-
tions for the game. The city Will prac-
tically declare half holiday, although
the game will not be cNlled until 3;l5
D. M. in order to afford the bankers
and school children an opportunity to
attend. A parade of the teams and
fans in automobiles will precede the
game, and leaving the Hotel Maryland
at about 80 will traverse the principal
streets of the city, thence going to the
ball grounds. All owners of automo-
biles interested in the movement are
invited to get in line. Among the Pas
adena fans this arrangement has Gre
ated great enthusiasm, and Hen Berry
is a decidedly popular man in the foot
hills.
Kingsley N. Stevens is back of the
affair, and is supported by commit
tee of Pasadena ball enthusiasts. .Ber-
ry has not committed himself to any
proposition looking to further games
in Pasadena. The Angel leader has
switched tomorrows game, merely to
try out the exuberance of the outsiders,
and should the attendance be large
other games may be arranged some
time time before the close of the sea-
sons schedule. This has not been
changed, however, and should the ex-
pertinent fall to prove up no more
games viii be sent over to the sister
city.
"There is nothing to this talk of a
lapse in continuous ball." said Berry
last night. 'T want that distinctly I'M
derstood. The Pasadena fans have
evinced a disposition to support US, how
ever, and we want to give them fair
trial. We are not bound to any further

games may be changed to Pasadena.
This works no hardship on Los Angeles.
for which I have labored for years to
secure continuous ball, but it does give
the fans who come over here week
days a little encouragement to back
us up"
The Oak Knoll car, which leaves the
Pacific Electric station at frequent in
tervals, takes the fans to within two
blocks of the ball grounds and forty
minute schedule will be made.
Vernon and Oakland clash at the
northern grounds in today's new align-
ment of the coasters. and Sacramento
makes it's first appea~-~ce at Los An
geles, in a game at Vernon in the af-
ternoon. This game positively will be
held at the South side park, despite
erroneous announcements that 1t would
be played at Chutes park.
San Francisco opens today at Port
land, and this series and the local
games should prove of absorbing in
terest.
