BASEBALL IN ANAHEIM Many signs of spring are in the air and on the baseball diamond here in Anaheim. Many familiar faces are back in town for the spring training period and some are conspicuous by their absence. That grand and most beloved character of baseball, Connie Mack, has again established his spring headquarters here. Any Anaheim boy can point him out to you on the street. There is no doubt but that Mr. Mack and his Philadelphia Athletics are the idols of the town. This makes a grand opportunity for the people of Orange county to see a first class brand of baseball played by a high class group of young men right here at La Palma Park. Anaheim extends all a cordial invitation to see the ballgames. Don't miss the opportunity. As the new folder put out by the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce so aptly says: "The roads that span the cares of time, are the roads that lead to Anaheim."
