Many Features of the Game,
the Play and By.play-The
Receipts Are Large.

! AS contest of skill there might
have been something to be desired,
but for entertainment pure and simple
and always, the baseball game be-
tween Senators and Representatives at
Punahou yesterday afternoon, was
! quite worth while. And so it was
found by the 1000 people who saw it.
sidered by the Lepers who will receive
as result of it, something like $500
for their entertainment fund
1t was with the spirit of amusement
that the eighteen men gathered upon
the baseball diamond, and they them
selves got plenty of fun out of the
play. as much perhaps as did the spec
tators, though there will be lame arms
enough today to prevent much voting
with the right hand in either house.
There was a bizarre lot of costumes.
ranging from the school boy outfit of
McCandless to the rough and ready
kahki of Lewis and the parti-colored
sweater of Greenwell.
1t was a hard fight to lose for the
Senators. They played with spirit and
in reality must lay their undoing to-
their employees, who did not play as
good a game in any particular as did
the members of the body itself. Sem
ator McCandless was the bright star
of the Senators at bat, as was Presi-
dent Crabbe in the field. There was
nothing that got away from either in
his line and the way McCandless
backed up his fellows showed active
memories of the bygone days.
Senator Woods and Delegate Kalani-
anaole made a battery which at first
was as of the Coast artillery, but sore
arms played too great a part after
few essays, and then the active young
men from below stairs got onto the
curves of the Kohala man, and
them out at will. Sena-
tor Achi. with a sore leg, managed to
acquit himself with credit, but the
least said about the others the better.
For the House Kalama was the star
in the field and at the bat. with almost
every man running a close second,
KeIiinoi being at his best and Long
holding out we'll. Kumalae was almost
stricken OUT once but made good i
with the willow while Lewis, the Hilo /
giant. could not find the ball The !

quite lenient with the fielding accounts
# the men.
There were moments when the fun
vas fast Once, for instance. Green :
veil from Kona, was at first when the
bird man struck out, and he started
o run 1t was too much for the in
ield of the Senators to see a House
nan getting around and though the
.ide was retired, they began to throw
he ball about to catch him, and he
,aced clear home amid the cheers or
he crowds. It was almost as good
s getting to third to get to first, for
nee the ball started to fly IN the air
here was no telling where it would
ton and the brave and active man
Who would only run, stood good
nance of getting safe to the last cor
Ter.
The Senate believed that the House
ad worked its kahuna and so tried
o offset this by putting a piece Of ava
DOT in Capt. Knudsen's pocket. but
II signs failed, and there was no head
ny the victors, once they took the
lad. The crowd was a large and en-
husiastic one, and the cheers from
Il sides were many. The gate receipts
I the grounds were $3.50 and the
hairs. donated by furniture men about
own. netted an additional s1s.25. while
is believed that the preliminary sale y
ill be close to 5000. This may tell =
