The Oahu Baseball League will
open their season with a great dis
play Of both ball and athletic stunts.
The Mayor will pitch the first ball
and A. X. vierra will make a swat
at 1t, probably with the result that
u home run will be made.
There will be a parade OF both
the Seniors and Juniors which will
start from Wall Nichols Co.'S store
and march along King street and
Aala lane TO the new ball grounds.
Bonine, Of moving picture fame.
will take pictures Of the parade, and
the County band will head the pro-
cession. On arrival ut the grounds
there will be little speech making
and then the afternoons sport will
begin.
The opening game will be between
the Marines and the Kalihis, and Il
iattling good one It should be, too.
as both teams are wound up In the
best of form and have been playing
the game for some months now. '
The half vets have improved a lot
lately and they have such good men

Uses to be good one, and. as the
players are old rivals, a keen strug-

There Is sure to be a big crowd OF
spectators present. and as the grand

seats for everybody. The new park
will surprise everyone who pays a
visit to It. and there Is no doubt that
the venture will prove big success
