Crowd watching a baseball game at Wrigley Field in South Los Angeles

Description:
Crowd watching a baseball game at Wrigley Field in South Los Angeles. Los Angeles's Wrigley Field was built in 1925 and torn down in 1966. It was host to minor league baseball teams and home of the Los Angeles Angeles. The field is named after the same Wrigley as Wrigley Field in Chicago, but it actually received the name first and had more on-site parking than Chicago's field does now.

Description:
A similar photograph of Cliff Brady appears with the caption: Some of Seattle's Suds: While most of the critics are not giving the Seattle Indians much of a look-in for pennant honors in the coming Coast League flag race, "Red" Killefer, who is sending his charges through the spring training paces at Shell Oil Park, Long Beach, is confident that his team will be up there. Below are pictured some of the Indians. Cliff Brady is back again at second base, while Brett and Lee are new hurlers.
