CONNIE MACK
AND JOHNSON
To Be THERE:

There appears to be no limit
to the number or range of ages
of the teams entering the COM
petition in The Times baseball
league. The entries are coming
in at a rapid pace. and show all
signs of continuing at the pres
ent rate of speed.
Although the ball park party is
a day off. the tickets are still on
hand at the office of the baseball
editor. 1t was previously stated
that all boys must be members
of some organized team to be
able to go to the party. This is
no longer the case.
Any boy who would like to
attend the morning practice ses-
sion of the Athletics and the
Griffmen may do so by applying
for tickets at the office OF the
baseball director. room 408. Not
only will this be a practice Ses-
sion but a very informal party as
we'll.
A very complete schedule of
events has been arranged by the
baseball association and its asso-
ciates.
Edward Eynon. one of the com
mitteemen, reports that every
thing is in ship shape and ready
for the local sandlotters to begin
their big day at the ball park 10
morrow. The party will hold
many things of interest to the
boys who find time to be present
at this gala occasion. All sand
lotters with American red blood
will turn out.
The most famous managers
of the worlds most famous
game will be on hand to advise,
instruct, aid and to do what
ever they may to help you with
your baseball. Yes, none other
. than Walter johnson and Con
ME Mack.
The managers have agreed to
have their teams on hand to talk
with you and show you how 1t is
done in the big league.
But this is not ALL the enter
tainment. They tell me every
party must have its amusements
as well as it's serious activities.
SO to provide this entertainment,
fun or what have you, the two
most famous clowns in the world
have volunteered their services.
They are Nick Altrock and AL
6chacht, in person.
There is still more to be had at
this mammoth party. One hun
dred tickets for the game follow
ing the morning practice will be
distributed. How'd you like to go
to the Saturday afternoon game
and see the Athletics and the
Griffmen battle for the final
game of the series? Just be on
hand for the party and maybe
you will be lucky enough to win
one of these tickets. Perhaps by
some ill fortune you may not win
one of these tickets.
But don't be disilluSioned. for
there are to be given away so base
balls. So you see there are many
things to be had at the party
Not just tickets and baseballs, but
the players and their illustrative
examples of how to play the
game, and all the why's and where
fores.
All boys who have not yet en-
tered their teams still have time
to do 20. The registration office
is room 408, The Times Building.
E Hustle the entries along boys,
let's see the total climb to 100
by Saturday morning. Leagues
are in formation and the activ-
ity will begin most any day

er we start the official league

mitt, before being allowed to
