league will play after working hours

Meeting Tuesday
A meeting of all the managers OF
men interested in the formation Of
these leagues will be held Tuesday
night in the Community Service rooms
at Z o'clock. Any organization inter
ested in entering team in any of the
leagues this summer is asked to have
some representative attend this meet
ing.
1t will be possible to have the three
leagues this summer due to the fac
that a new ball park is to be erected
at the Glen Miller park this spring
The addition of this diamond will per
nit two games to be played each night
after working hours.
One of the best diamonds in the city
is located at Easthaven and will make
good place for Saturday afternoon
teams to play. Easthaven will play
all it's games on this diamond. Games
also may be played on the Playground
diamond on Saturday afternoon. There
will also be the diamond at the Gler
and Exhibition park, which makes il
possible for four games to be played
on Saturday.
1t is doubtful If the Fairgrounds
will be obtainable until after school il
out the latter part of May, as thu
high school is entering a team in the
field this season and is using the dia
monds daily.
