RIVERSIDE BALL
LEAGUE MAKES RULES
STRONG AGGREGATION OF TEAMS
WILL COMPOSE LEAGUE THIS
sEAsON-MUsT WEAR UNIFORMS

The Riverside Base Ball League held
meeting yesterday afternoon at
which details for the coming season
were talked over and a system of laws
adopted to govern the playing. Among
other hings decided upon was that all
players must wear regular uniform
under penalty of being fined or sus-
pended. This it is believed will ma
terially raise the standard of tho
games.
There will probably be five clubs in
the league this season: Palamas, Chi
nese AIohas, Chinese Athletics, Japa-
nese Athletics and Kaalas.
The Palamas will be the Independ-
ents of last year.
The old Palamas, now known as the
Kawaihaus, will, it is said, be dis
banded. If this is done it is probable
that their place in the league will be
taken by the Kadlas.
