Park, and introduced him to the crowd
on the bleaChers.
Captain Sam Present.
The old white-haircd sailorman ar
rived at the grounds where the games
were being played for his benefit about
the middle of the first one, and he sat
quietly on the players bench for II
long time, leaning on his silver headed
cane and watching the players on the
diamond with interest.

The Games.
There were two good games at the
park yesterday afternoon, and really
the day marked the opening of the
baseball season, for the Sugar League
played its first games during the day
and out on the vacant lots the young
sters were hard at II initiating their
! elders in the sport game.
Chinese Surprise.
| At the end of the first inning II
| looked bad for the Chinese team n
their go with the Portuguese, for they
had not score and their opponents
had three. In the second inning thu
lead was still further advanced, whcI
three more totals were made and th'
Chinese boys had but one to thei
credit.
Apau. who had been in the box fo
the Chinese during the first two in
nings, was taken out after allowing
four hits. and Ahana went In to twir
for the c. A. c. team. That the chang
was Il good one Is evidenced by tn
score. the new pitcher shutting out tn
Portuguese for six straight innings an
allowing but three hits during tn
seven innings pitched.
The Portuguese boys were nue.
heavier than the Chinese, but the
could not place their hits at all. Tim
after time they walloped out hot one
to the inheld or long flies to the out
nelders. but always they were gather
ed In and no damage was done on tn
scorchoard.
With a lead OF FIVE scores on ther
at the end of the second inning, tn
Chinese crept steadily upward, scorin
In each but the fourth and seventh In
nings, and ending the ninth with
bust of five, which made their toti
IL, to seven for the Portuguese, VIII
succeeded In annexing another run |
l the ninth, the only one they made aft
or the second.
II was Il good game to watch, fou
errors being made by the Chinese an
seven by the Portuguese. The fieldin
of the latter team showed that the
had not got their eye on the ball
the proper manner, although SON
spectacular work was done at times b
them as well as by the Chinese.
In the fourth Asam of the Chimes
made pretty overhead catch, runnlr
! backward from his position as shor
stop, and in the sixth Annoy made
running catch backward In center te
which brought applause from the fan
Freltas at short on the Portuguese
team made a fine high catch OF h
ore In the eighth.
1t was In the ninth that the balloC
went up for the Portuguese boys, f.
II was in that inning that the Chimes
went after Medeiros and put five mt
across the plate. In all there we
thirteen hits made off the Portugue
Pitcher, but poor support by the iiel'
ers had a great deal to do with Il
result of the game from that side,
