At Eastlake Park
Manager Harlan of the Ford Garage
ball club has been busy all week get
ting his ball players in shape for a
tussle with the fast Scottsdale team
at Eastlake park this afternoon. The
lineup that viii face Scottsdale is
much stronger than the gang that
iourneyed over to Scottsdale. and
some of the wise ones who have been
following the progress of this team
predict their early entrance into
Glass A circles. Four players who
helped make baseball popular here
last season as members of the Tiger
and Sox ball clubs will be seen in
action and will play regularly with
the Ford Garage team. These new
players have not been signed up by
other clubs thus far this season,
which will make them eligible for the
game this afternoon.
Scottsdale is financially able to
support a fast team and win show a
much improved ball club this after
noon. Manager Kirksey admits that
he is out to get the best gall players
in the valley, providing they are able
to get releases from the manager of
the club they have been playing on.
He sent scout down to Bisbee to
attend the series between Bisbee and
the Tenth Cavalry TO sign up two or
three of the best players on the Bis
bee club.
The fans that flock out to Eastlake
park are going to see a ball game of
Class A calibre as both clubs are
bent on getting in the Glass A divi-
sion as soon as possible and are out
to win against every club in their cir
cult. The city commission will not
allow an admission to be charged at
games played at this park, so the
park ought to be filled to capacity
with bugs" who are rearing to see
real amateur battle.
The park will be put in first class
shape for the game, and thanks to
the kindness of City Manager Avery
Thompson, new bases, a rubber
pitcher plate and home base will be
installed and the field marked off for
the game.
The game will start promptly at
5 p. m. and Messrs. Burns and Allen
