BIG CROWD WATCHES THE GAME AT AALA PARK
LEAGUE is HUGE SUCCESS

Another fine game of baseball was
played yesterday afternoon when the
Marines and Fort Shafter teams met
| in the Military League competition.

ed at Aala Park, and the enthusiasm
! ran high all the afternoon; the root

remarks were very funny. A num-

attended the game and rooted in good

The game was delayed for about
half an hour owing to the non-arriv-

were correct in every instance, and
he gave satisfaction in every way.

any competent man, who is satisfac-
tory to both teams, should be allowed
TO umpire the game. This waiting
business Is no use and Il prompt start
should be made on every occasion of
a match. In justice to Mr.. Fernan-

that he was III, and that he tried to
communicate with the managers of
the teams but failed.
The lineup of the Marines was Il

extra cars are to be swung onto the
regular train to accommodate the in
tending crowd. The Military League
is certainly making large splash
and II Is real good to see It.
The train on Sunday leaves at
9:15 a. m. and returns at $3.50 to
town; this just fits in with the ordi-
nary mans idea of a pleasant Sun
day, and given fine weather a large
crowd of the supporters of both
teams will surely make the trip. The
return fare to Leilehud (the train
