looms did a f1ourishing business, and
displayed large placards reading Bar

Great plans are being made for the
opening OF the baseball season at HUI
rontown Sunday When the Double-H
team meets the Mohawk players. 1t
win be the second gone OF the season
for the home team. as they met and
defeated the Hancock aggregation on
the latter's diamond last Sunday, but
ii will be the first game ON the homo
grounds and the grand opening OF the
newly-arranged ball lot, all of which
viii be celebrated with ceremonies APP
propriate for such an suspicious occa-
sion.
The Mohawk players win arrive In
Houghton by street car about an hour
before the time for the game to start
and they will be met at the bridge by
the home team. From the point where
the visiting team leaves the car the
two teams and the Isle Royale band
will parade down Sheldon street To
Dodge street and thence up the hill and
into Hurontown and the ball lot.
The renovated ball grounds arc in
pretty good shape for the first con-
test. The bleachers, with a seating
capacity of 900 are finished and the
grounds have been built mp and lev
eled off. In this latter work about 200
wagon loads of gravel have been used
and the management has steam roller
ut work smoothing this down. making
one of the best playing surfaces to be
found i'm the copper country. Indeed.
about the only thing the Hurontown
park lacks to make II the very finest
ball park in the league is fence and
this will be built next season If the
game is properly patronized this sea-
son.
