WILL TRY HARD

by Riversiders This
Afternoon.
BY w. Tin chong.

There will be some big doings at the
Aala Park grounds this afternoon when
the Fort Skaters meet the Kewalos
and the Palamas play the invincible
defeat all the teams that they have
met. Notwithstanding that there will
be other attractions given by the new
league which will open its series this
afternoon. the Riversiders are expect
ing to receive their usual large patron.
age from the fans and ought to draw
one of the best crowds today that there
ever was. They are now more deter
mined to put up frst-class baseball and
as there is no charge to see these games,
there is hardly any doubt that they
will manage to hold the crowd with
them.
The Fort Skaters will in all prob,
ability defeat the Kewalos in the first
contest, as Lieut.. Chiffon, the energetic
manager of that aggregation, has been
getting his men in the best of condi-
ton for todav's game. 1t is the lieu
tenant s desire to win some of the
games of the first series and, as they
are playing with one of the most even.
" matched teams this afternoon, the
chances are that the Skaters will win.
Mccall, who is captain of this team,
is player who can hold down the
third-sack as well as anyone else here
and besides this. he is a good slugger.
Then there is Boulun, the slab artist
of this nine, who will be in the box
for the Skaters, and Bateman is ex-
pected to be behind the bat. The other
members of the Skaters will be as
usual
The Portuguese team will make a
hard fight for first place in this series,
at least this is what Manager Paresa
has stated. He viii lose no chances of
being defeated by the Skaters and win
get his best men in the game.
Henry Walker, the player who has
had the eve of nearly every baseball
manager on him since he has earned
such a good record on the diamond
last year. will be in the game for the
Aalas this afternoon. Walker re-
turned on the Mauna Kea yesterday
and was met at the wharf by Manager
n. K. Hoopii. He will play for the
Aalas hereafter. A change will be
made in the box today. Hoopii will
have Henry Chillingworth to do the
twirling stunt for him in place of Me
Hardee. Chillingworth has some good
curves and viii be able to give the Pa
lamas some guessing work to do. This
is a much needed change, as McHardee
has been pitching right along and the
southpaw is sadly in need of good
rest. OF course this viii not weaken
the invineibles. as they will be
strengthened by the presence of Walker
81 am very confident that we will
be able to beat the Aalas today, -
stated S. p Correa, the manager of the
Palamas Yesterday when he was asked
as to what he thinks of the results of
the Palama Aala game. 'fWe have
been improving right along and / am
sure that the Aalas will have a hard
time to win from US, if we don t beat
them.'' Correa also stated that he
viii have both Dole and Paaluhi to
pitch this afternoon. Whatever Cor
rea has to say will not mean that the
Aalas are to be beaten, but is good
assurance that the Palamas will play
their best TO win and will put up some
first class ball.
Many fans were seen by one inter
ested in the Riverside League the past
week and was asked as to what they
have to say about the starting up OF
new league in opposition to free base
ball at Aala Park. Nearly all of them
have expressed an opinion strongly in
favor of the Riversiders so that, not
withstanding that, commencing with to-
DAVIS games. the Riversiders viii have
opposition. they are just as confident
that the crowd will stay with them
provided they can put up first class
baseball.
