That the Rizal baseball team is determined to win on Saturday is borne out by the fact that Me Laurie will pitch and several alterations have been made in the lineup of the sailormen.

On the other hand the locals |are wondering who will fill the shoes of Church” and Potter. Church has been transferred tem- porarily to Canton, while Potter left for America this afternoon on the Ixion.

The practice to be held to-night will see Benson or Nelson on third and Koch in right field. Several candidates for the team have shown up suprisingly well during the past two weeks, and from the interest that these caw- comers show, it is evident that there will be considerable 'com. petition for a steady berth on the club.

Preparations are under way to play a picked team a week from Saturday.

DROWNING FATALITIES.

Two More Reported. Two further drowning fatalities are reported by the police.

With some difficulty the man was recovered from the water but was so exhausted that he died while on the way to the Govera- ment Civil Hospital in the motor Lambulance.

A runner employed by the Ki- sang Boarding House was yes- terday drowned while endeavour- ing to board the steamer Sui Tsi. Before the vessel had made fast alongside the wharf and the gangway had been lowered, the deceased, who was an enterprise ing employe, attempted to jump aboard from the wharf hut missed
