PLENTY OF PARKS THIS YEAR
nr FRANFx QUIGLEY.

BY FRANK QUIGLEN.
Now that the majority OF horsehide
warriors have put their paraphernalie In
storage for approximately six months,
the leather egg manipulators VIII enter
tain those athletically inclined for
couple OF months. From all indications
the prospects are exceedingly bright for
a prosperous season. According 10 the
dope there willebe more teams in the
field than ever this year and the fight
for Glass A honors will create more inter
est than usually manifested. The park
proposition is well taken care of because
all the municipal parks can be utilized
besides four enclosed parks, nqmely
Rourke park, Luxus park, County Fair
grounds and Athletic park.
The different managers will do all In
their power to make harmony reign SUI
preme and IL they are careful picking
their players they will not have much
trouble. Only a couple OF fistic encount-
ers were INDUCED I'm last season and II
nothing more serious happens this term
everybody interested will be satisfied.
Several practice games are on the bill
OF fare for the local contingents today
and they will be pulled off regardless of
climatic conditions. They will be con-
sidered practice events and the regular
season will open with all the pomp and
splendor necessary for such an suspicious
occasion on next Sunday.
FonteneIles Are Confident.
Out on the turf at the Douglas County
Fair grounds the Fontenelles and the
Monmouth Parks will clash In their ini-
tial argument for supremacy at about
three bells. Last season when these two
squads hooked up the Monmouth Parks,
after hard fight. walked away with
small margin to the good, but this
season the Fontenelles say they are going
to twist things around.
Up at Scribner, Neb., the Miller Parks,
led by the irrepressible Grant Golden,
will do their darndest TO trim the foot
ballists stationed there. For several
weeks the village gents have been prac-
tlcing. so they ought to be in the pink of
condition for today's battle.
The Athletic Reserves will hereafter be
known as the Athletics because the old
Athletics have abandoned the field. The
Athletics have mustered together a
strong galaxy OF stars and under the
tutorship of Frank Greene they should
make all class leather egg handlers
The Athletics and the Fontenelle Re-
serves will take whack at each other
at Fontenelle park this afternoon.
