DOUGLAS OPENS ITS
 B0RDERLAND SERIES
 WITH WARREN GRAYS
Indications Are That Many Fans Will See Border League Game at Warren Park; SouthpaW Will TWirl for GrayS.

lt is Douglas vs Warren District Grays or the c. & A team. as you may be pleased to call them. at 2:3O this afternoon at Warren Park. The splendid c. & A. band will be there and, with fine music to enliven the dull intervals, of which it is reason able to suppose there will be but few. there will surely be one big afternoon in store for the fans. In fact, the en- thusiasm has so developed during the last few days, that some of the 32nd degree pullers for tEe diamond game who are making thd valley trip, have made up their minds Co return early in the afternoon in order to see the sport
 As stated in yesterdays Review the game will be of peculiar interest. inasmuch as it will be the first real test for the Grays in a game with an outside nine, in the Border league. From every indication it will be a battle royal, as the visitors have been impressed with the fact that the c. A outfit is the strongest. probably in it's history and, therefore. they will come here especially primed for ire. 1 mendous effort to carry back the lau. rels
 Not little interest was created by the announcement of the appearance of Adkerson, the Southern California southpaw in the box for the Grays Will he be able 10 hold back the hea- whiting Border City stickers2 This. of course, is the allimportaut ques- | tion. Judging from Adkerson's repu. ! tation, acquired in semi-pro circles in the Angel City, he ought to be able to give mighty good account of himself providing he is anywhere near his true form.
 Another phase of the situation is relative to the manner in which the Grays will be able to swat the pellet. There has not been a very good chance, so far this season. to get a fair line on the prowess of the c. & A. combine in the matter of solving the delivery of twirler of great enicien- cy. Of course, the boys had a chance with the Chinese invaders. put that was hardly a fair test, as the game was the first effort for the Grays. and they had not hardly had their eyes on the pill since last year Then, the Oriental heaver was some artist in his line, at that
 ] lt does not seem reasonable to be- | lieye that a single red-blooded Ian. who can possibly get to the game this 1 afternoon, will fail to do so. The ! sport must have support, in order to thrive. The playing material is as- i sured, splendid weather also prom ised, and the grandstand should be crowded to its capacity. when the um- pire calls the first batter to the rub | Der
 The success of the game, for the present season, will. no doubt depend in no inconsiderable degree, upon the maner in which the fans turn out to support the opening contests. A good start is said to be half the battle in almost any line. This is surely more than true in baseball matters. En. thusiasm, created at the beginning of the year, will mean a season of splen. did attendance, and, as a result, the managers and players alike, encour. aged to increased and more effective efforts.
 The latest announced lineup, as giv. en out by the rival managers is Grays-Garrett 3b, Champion ss Grady 2b, Anherier 1b, IT. Yeuck If Jordan Of. Allen IT, J. Yeuck e. AEser. son D. Boat, utility.
