Fastest and Most Exciting Game of Season at
AaIa Park Watched by Large
Crowd of Fans.
Pedro a Good Umpire.

And what about that big Pedro? This
IS not the first game he has umpired
and made a conspicuous hit with the
fans. He has held the indicator sew
eral times lately and has always given
great satisfaction. He has many good
points as an umpire. He is very GER
tain in calling balls and strikes, and
he raises his right or left hand so that
people can tell whether he is calling a
ball or strike when they can not hear
on account of the roofing He is cool
and quick. He never hesitates in Civ
ing a decision and his first poor one
has yet ito be given.
Kaia made an excellent showing. He
is in frst-elass company for the first
time, and is living up to his promotion
very well. He made no errors yester-
day, and held down second base and
left field equally well. 1t is not so
long ago that he. was playing for the
Aalas in the Riverside Junior League,
his team winning the championship
twice. Then he went to the Chinese
Alohas in the senior league and is now
in big league company and playing a
remarkably steady game. He will be
a great acquisition in the big league
