Diamond News

Tuesday has become a big baseball
day. Two prime games amused the
fans yesterday afteroon. The Chicago
Ladies' Baseball club furnished the
thrills for their supporters in game
with the McCormicks at Vernon, and
the senior Poly high boys lined up with
a picked team from st. Vincents col
lege on the Grand avenue field. This
marks the first invasion of the real
and only" female baseball club to the
southern cities and the suffragists were
out in force.
There is considerable rumor of the
strengthening of the Sunday Morning
league by the addition of some more
clubs The idea is meeting with splen-
did success thus far and it ought to
have a pretty fair growing streak.
The Saturday league has met with a
great deal of favor locally, ana the
fans are taking to the idea like sue
cess. Valentine has fathered a goodly
number of the winners so far.
Amateur ball has reached almost to
the professional stage when the at
tendance approximates the 2000 mark
apiece. The Hassard- Moneta Merchant
game is one long to be remembered
among the local fans.
The Moneta Merchants would like
to arrange a game with an out-of-
town club. Address Manager Wells,
315 West Firty-seventh street.
The Azusa team has arranged it's
plans for the season, and with spank
ing new uniforms will appear in all
its glory in a game with Covina next
Sunday at Covina.
Furlongs are after Sunday game.
Call South 1888.
Sunday, June 5, will mark the be-
ginning of a series of three games
for A hundred dollar stake between
the Azusa team and Chino. The first
two games will alternate between the
two towns and Los Angeles may see
the final hookup, probably at Mace
park.
Covert of Covina would like to hear
from Bennie Pratt, catcher, and Um-
pire Lane.

for the semi-pro field, will jump back

how IT is playing in such hard luck as to
he in fourth place. The team really appears
TO be much stronger than any other team
that has played on the home diamonds this

beat the Villagers yesterday, one does not

really looks dangerous and although they may
have Just hit their stride, they are going
up from the cellar at a good rate of speed
and may be one of the big surprises of the
saeson. The team, with all the men playing
like fine pieces of a great machine, must fall
off badly in its playing to be eliminated from
the pennant contention. 1t is the best look
ing team, all round, that Oakland has had
in several years and it will not finish in the
cellar this season unless there is nothing in

weak opening. Predictions from

of the bullish elements. Another was
the fact that a supposed general rain

did firm foreign markets, particularly
a bulge at Antwerp. Early weakness
was due to heavy rains In South

started 1a to % off at 97A to 97ss, and
then rose with many fluctuations to

at the start, but prices rallied in SYM

climbed to 60H.
