There was very nearly as large
crowd at the Athletic park as on the
opening day, to watch the second ap.
pearance of the Oahu league yester-
day. No less than 1900 fans paid for
admission and the grandstand and
bleachers were both entirely filled with
big overflow along the baselines.
There were several notable improve.
ments at the park. Nigel jackson, the
official scorer, was perched up in front
of the grandstand in little scorers
box, all by himself where he could not
be bothered by the cheerful idiot who
asks questions at unpropitious mo-
ments.
The press box has been moved to q
position directly back of the catcher.
This places it out of the direct line
of the wind-driven dust and enables
the festive scribbler to note whether
the ball is n strike or ball and make
bet with himself as to what the UNI.
pire will call it. Also this box com.
, mands very much better view of the
diamond than it did in the old posi-
ton. The management has arranged
to have it properly divided off from
the rest of the underneath of the grand.
