With Galesburg and Monmouth Con-
fronted by Heavy Guarantee it
is Thought They Will
Draw Well.
Attendance OPENING DAYS. 1909.

The above figures from. the presi-
dents office show that 1893 people
saw the OPENING baseball games in the
Central Association last season.
There is every indication that these
figures will Re surpassed when the
teams stack up for the opening OF
hostilities this season. There is much
more enthusiasm than ever before and
association clubs throughout the cir
cult are planning big days.
Of the above teams two will be
missing. They are Waterloo and Jack
sonville. The former drew well on
the opening day, while the latter was
one of the weakest in the attendance
figures.
1t is believed that Galesburg, with
Belts Indians as opponents. will draw
at least $500 fans especially as that
town, the same as Monmouth, has
guaranteed an attendance OF 10000
bugs during the season Monmouth
with the same proposition confront
ing the directors will muster at least
22e0 fans. The other clubs should
all surpass the marks of last season.
AT least President Justice confidently
expects they will.

Big Parade-Ticket to

Galesburg is making great prepare
/ ton for tie opening day. The new
member of the Central association is
striving to Guido all other clubs in the
circuit and Keokuk will reap har-
vest from the Overlooking crowds that
storm the ball park on May 5. 1t
will be a great day for the natives of
that place Something of what is
planned is told in the following except
from column in the Galesburg Mail:
Plans have been carefully laid for
the opening game with Keokuk at the
local park on Thursday, May 5.
Galesburg has guaranteed the league
an attendance here this season of 49,
900 and while this guarantee was
though a trife fat when 1t was made
there is every reason to believe that
TIE city will come up to it. On our
opening day all eyes will be turned to
the league infants to see what they
are doing and if the fans turn out
two thousand strong the other clubs
in the league will probably turn away
and watch their own turnstiles for
the rest of the year.
For this reason the local directors
feel that they have got to make a
success out of opening day. The
Galesburg Military band has been en-
gagged for opening day and will play
on the street before the game and
also at the park during the contest.
A representative of the board of d.
rectors will try and secure owners of
autos TO appear with them in the pa
rade and transport the players of both
teams, mayor and some of the officials
to the park. Last year there was
a good turnout in this line and the
present years response should be as
good
Opening day tickets will be sold this
year for the regular price of twenty
FIVE cents with the grand-stand admis-
sion extra. AS it is attendance figures
that are wanted the local baseball men
feel that they should try hard for a
crowd of two thousand people for tie
opening engagement instead of plac.
ing the opening day price higher than
that charged for regular games.
Mayor Sandersoa has promised to is
sue proclamation asking the down
town stores to close and citizens gen
orally to observe the advent of league
baseball in Galesburg for 1910. This
proclamation will be ready in few
days.
