The team has finally arrived in the city from Toronto, and the first Edmonton vs. Calgary game of the season is coming up. The Edmonton Bulletin is being extremely normal about it.
The Calgary fans have had their ears to the ground for the past few days and the sounds they hear from the capital are calculated to make them sit up and take notice. The fat roll which they intended to wager on the opening game still reposes in their pockets and by the time they size up the Edmonton bunch tomorrow morning they will probably transfer it to their socks and say nothing.
Note that the new team manager, Dinny McGuire, had some previous ties to Toronto, which the Bulletin is also being sooo normal about.
Dinny Burnt His Bridges.
Take heed, oh ye cow-punchers, and read aright the signs of the times. On Monday morning Dinny McGuire brought his braves in over the C.N.R. and burnt his bridges behind him. If you don't believe this go down to Lloydminster and you will soon find out. This can mean only one thing. He has determined to never turn back in his triumphant march for the pennant. After a few games it is probable that Charlie Crist will take pattern after Dinny and burn all the bridges over the Bow and the Elbow but with the team on the inside, and then sigh for sweet oblivion to make him forget what might have been.
The Bulletin also has a few choice words for the Calgary Albertan:
"Dopester," in the Calgary Albertan, is still trying to delude himself and other fans in the dry belt into the belief that tomorrow's game will be a pipe cinch sort of an affair for the Cowpunchers, with a score of 20 to 0 or so for the home team. "Dopester," has shot wide of the mark so often this spring however, that the Calgary sports have a right to be little dubious. He it was who said that the name "Dinny McGuire" meant stormy weather. So it does--for Calgary. Dinny arrived in Edmonton on Monday morning and yesterday and today the weather has been ideal. If it rains in Calgary tomorrow it will mean that the elements are weeping for Calgary and are trying to put off the evil day.
