baseball commission by Manager Nc
Cormick, yesterday, everything in re-
gard to the recently organized South
ern California Trolley league is o. X,

may commence operations whenever
they get ready. In the course of his

that ever has been granted protection,
also as the first to operate under pro-
lection of organized ball with a mer-

ceiving considerable mention in the
eastern press.
When the Directories and the Gate

the purity color has a generous allot-
ment of space in your present suit
combination. Nov, look here old
pal," said the Shamrock leader, getting
the other by the coat in most earn
est manner. Don't you think that
that purity and insignia of peace color
is bum combination for the fighting
Irish hue? 1t goes fine for awhile, but
it won't last long. We are going after
