Show THE CITIZEN 10 COMMUNITY BALL PARK rpiHIS CITY will have one of the best baseball diamonds in the country. It is ideally located on the south side of Thirteenth South street, between Main and West Temple streets, and it is the biggest field since the days of the old Walker ball park on South Main street. The old historic ball park was located where the City and County building now stands, where some of the fastest ball games ever seen were played. Then came the county building and for many years the city was without a diamond. However, now the city will have a community ball park which will be a permanent fixture, and the fans of this f ' t' city will never have to worry where to play ball. Business men of the city, together with the city, have contributed the first expense to build the new ball park. Season tickets are being sold to raise money for the park and to hold the Bees in the Utah-Idah- o league. Work is fast progressing in putting the grounds in shape. The steel work is all up for the grandstand. The diamond and outer field is being leveled and rolled under the supervision of Pat Goggin. A large force of men are at work, and all efforts are being made to have the grounds ready for the first of June. A. ' v . v. . . f ' R. Vote, U. S. Stores; B. L.

At Ogden, the Utah party will join the delegations from Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles, and will have two special cars. A great deal of interest has been shown in the convention this year. There will be four days sessions devoted to subjects of general interest to buyers. A number of prominent executives of large eastern concerns, as well as high officials in the Department of Commerce, are on the nt ties to perform. Some of the boys have been boosting Secretary Crockett for governor, but the secretary appears to be dumb to all political plaver and only says he will not run for secretary again. Morgan, Young and Tanner are out for city judges again, but according to the talk on the street they are going to have some competition. The friends of Cowley, Trottier, McCarthy and Brady are trying hard to convince their favorites to get into the race. There appears to be a lull in the senatorship talk. While Earnest Bamberger appears to hold the whip hand, yet the strength of Farnsworth and Clark must not be discounted, and it looks like this is going to be a work attorney. This leaves Horace Beck, Byron Anderson and Ross Hutchinson in the race with several others talked of who may come out any day. Judge Morgan of the juvenile court will try for the district bench.
