LOCAL. BALL CLUB
BOOKS OAKLEY GAMES
Cincinnatf's Strongest SemI-profes.
slonal Club VIII Play Double.
header Here September II.

The biggest opportunity ever offer
ed any ball club, a chance to lump
from the class Of country town ball
team as we have been called by some
tin horn sports into the class of a
semi-professional club was arranged
last night over long distance tele-
phone between Manager Reese and the
management Of the Oakley club of Gin
cinnati, when the latter agreed to
come here on Sunday, September 18th,
for a double header and should the
locals win one of the two games played
here promise Of a return game was
given which will be played on Redland
field Cincinnati in the immediate fu-
ture.
The Oakley team is without a doubt
the strongest one in Cincinnati, no
other club in that city being able to
beat them, but our own pitcher, Bos-
kins, pitching for foreign club early
In the season caused them to suffer
their first defeat and to him we pin
our faith.
This announcement no doubt will
cause rejoicing in the hearts of all
the fans especially those few who in
timated that the local management
was afraid to match the club with a
team of any worth which might spoil
Its good record but II those few had
stopped to think that club must have
reputation before team the calibre
of Oakley would even consider a game,
they would not have been so harsh in
their criticism and the only way to
gain such a reputation is to get it
slowly and by starting at home first.
But from now on we can assure the
managers that they will have the solid
support Of all fans.
