Show I RAIN POSTPONES I BASEBALL GAME m Salt Lake Bees and Los An- H geles Team Clash Today m in Salt Lake. M SALT LAKE, April 11. The slfloa H wept copious tears at about 2 o'clock H yesterday afternoon, bo Secretary Jack H Cook informed the handful of fans who H had gathered at Bonneville park that H there would be nothing doing in the H way of an opening game 'of the Los H Angeles scries. H No sooner had Cook called off tho H matinee before' tho afternoon became H bright and cheerful. H All things considered, It was per- H haps well that the scheduled contest H was postponed. It was "well for Prank H Chance and his Angels at least, for H their train was an hour or more late. H In fact, tho 1916 Champs wore not yet H in the city when Cook postponed tho H! game. H; There is also another angle to the H1 postponement the hungry fans may H find it possiblo to avail themselves of H; two games for one money before the H week is over. Jack Cook and Bill H Bernhard do not believe in letting H postponed games drag along toward H the end of the season, especially con H tests scheduled against such forniida- H bin rivals as the Angels. Skipper Bill H figures that one club has just as good H a chance as the other at this time of H the year, and Bill may not be abso- H lutely wrong in his line of dope cither. H It is highly likely that? yesterday's H game will be played Saturday or Sun- H "You will like my ball club," chirped H the Peerless Leader last night. "I be- H lievo it is stronger than my club of H last year. It is better balanced. I am H not ready to say that we will repeat, H but I don't hesitate to tell the whole H league that we will stand a lot of beat-H beat-H H Secretary Boots Weber goes Chance H one better by trying to scare us into H the dope that "the Angels can't lose H this year." Boots is one of those en- H tliusiastic ducks, though, so we refuse H to become frightened, i President Johnny Powers of the Los j Angeles club and Mrs. Powers accom- : panied the boys on the first trip to Salt H; Lake. H The Angol crowd also brought with j: it Bodle K. Smith, "baseball man of W tho Western Pacific." Bodie just nat- ; urally likes Salt Lake, and Salt Lake , seems to return the compliment when- M ever the opportunity presents itself. H Smith brings us the dope that the first H series in San Francisco drew a big j gate and provided some good baseball. 1 Los Angeles, by the way, did not draw T as well as had been expected, accord- ing to the Angel partv. |
