The San Francisco Dry Goods Commercial Baseball League has generously decided to give a benefit on Sunday, the 20th inst., the entire proceeds of which will be devoted to the bereaved relatives of the dead firemen. This timely desire to aid those who depended on the heroes of Sunday’s fire is likely to realize substantial benefit, especially considering the prominence of the league. It embraces seventy-two members, the eight teams being the White House, Hale Bros., J. J. O'Brien & Co., Kohlberg, Strauss & Frohman, O’Connor, Moffatt & Co., Newman & Levinson. The officers of the league are: T. O’Brien of J. J..O’Brien & Co., president; J. W. Lowenthal of Newman & Levinson, vice-president; F. Owels of Kohlberg, Strauss & Frohman, treasurer; R. W. Costello of O’Connor, Moffatt & Co., secretary. This particular game will be between the J. J. O’Brien & Co. and the Newman & Levinson teams. It will be the fifteenth game in the series, and the spirited contests preceding guarantee an unusually interesting exhibition on this occasion. All the league players wear uniforms and are constantly in training. Lovers of good ball should make a mental note of June 20, when they will also be able to lend a hand to the sore- afflicted ones of the brave men who gave their lives in the | service of the public.
