(Original Caption) No Game Today. Players Strike. San Francisco: The scoreboard tells the story at Candlestick Park, where the National League opener was to have been the San Francisco Giants and the San Diego Padres. Actually, the scoreboard is a new one, and was being tested, but, unfortunately for ball fans, the message it carries is true.
