Montgomery, June 27-(special)- )-Lew Whistler won the game for his Pickett Springs nine this afternoon Tn the sixth when with a terrible swing with his trusted stick he sent the viteor over left field fence "way down wonder in the corn field" While it Is an oft-repeated and sad story for the Slag Pile shippers they lost" yet prettier games are seldom seen.
 Frank Smith pitched q game that will win nine times in ten-five hits well scat tered. His support was good, neither of the errors being costly. Stockdale was luckier, however. Four hits were secured off his delivery
 The Montgomery outfield was again partly responsible. Both Kanzler and Flanagan made running catches that looked good for safeties The prettiest catch fell to Millar In the fifth inning when by a long run he gathered in Elan agan's Texas leaguer," which, If he had missed, would have cost one if not two runs.
 Montgomery got the first run in the fifth. Clark got safe on a fly to right that Cannon misjudged, and then permit ted to travel between his legs, advanc- ing Clark to second. Busch sacrificed neatly and Stoekdale was an easy out. Brennan slammed hot drive against left field fence which Mlllar reached but could not hold because of the presence of the fence. This scored Clark.

 Eddie Lawler seemed to have his play ing clothes on yesterday. and everything that went in the neghhorhood of second was gobbled up in great style. During re- cent games Lawler has accepted about fifty chances without an error. The boy at second is also yielding the willow of late.
 Smitty did some fine work in the box | yesterday, and but for Whistler's long hit over the fence might have won his game. Smitty's teammates did not hit behind him. and that tells the whole story. For seven innings he had the Pickett Springs gang at his mercy.
 Manager Fisher of the Eagles baseball squad asks that the Slagpile Siftings an- nounce that his club was not defeated at Bessemer. Moreover, he says his club did not play Bessemer, but that the flre- men borrowed the Eagles uniforms and were beaten.
 Manager OBrien says that the last five games umpired by Keefe were satsfac- tory and in fact the umpirng was as fine as he has ever seen. All of the players and the public are glad Keefe will re- port here for the long series of eighteen games.
 Suit has been filed in the United States court to compel the Montgomery Baseball association to move the right and left field fences back one hundred feet to pre- vent a repetition of the recent perform ances by one known as Whistler. | Probably two hundred fans will go down to the capital to see Campbell l fn ha btGt1 todo Louisville and Nashville railroad will give a half-fare rate to the game, tickets not good after today.

There are two rows of the boxes.

With music under the trees and all
kinds of fun on the diamond, there
will be given to the crowd which is as
sured as visitors to Punahou campus
this afternoon, such entertainment as
has seldom bee- afforded to company
of Honolulu people. 1t will be the oc-
casion of the match at baseball be-
tween the Senate and House, and if
there is anything that will not please
it will be a wonder.
That there will be a record crowd is
assured. Already there have been sold
something about 5000 worth of tickets,
and of course it is not expected that
much more than half the crowd will
come with pasteboards purchased il
advance. There will be force Of
clerks at the gate to see that there is
no deadheading, and il is safe to say
that not an attempt will be made to
avoid the payment of the small fee to
see the match. when it is known that
every cent realized will go to the Lep-
ers' Fourth of July fund. All the print
ing and every other expense has been
arranged without cost to the men who
have arranged the affair.
Every arrangement for the pleasure
of the visitors has been made. 1t is
expected that the furniture men and
the funeral directors will be willing to
permit the use of their folding chairs,
for if they do not they will be the only
men in the city to make a charge. The
intention is to have employees of the |
houses take charge of the seating, and |
TO make a charge for chairs for men, |
while for ladies will be furnished free |

JOHN CASSIDY
IS A CANDIDATE

One more candidate has been added
to the bunch after the Office of Super
intendent of Public Works. John Cas-
sidy, who lately returned from the
Coast to attend to the business of GER
tain estates, is the man. He placed
his application in the hands of Gov
ernor Dole yesterday morning. The
Governor negatively replied to a ques-
ton as to whether Mr.. Cassidy were
backed by any combination of politi-
clans.
Mr.. Cassidy is a property owner in
Honolulu. He is generally known as
formerly the superintendent of the
Bell Telephone Co. afterward superin-
tendent of the Government electric
lights, and for a while, holding that
position together with the superinten-
dency of the Mutual Telephone Co.
Wherever his name was mentioned
yesterday. remarks were heard to the
effect that he would be a strong can
didate, at least in public estimate, had
he entered the lists earlier. With a
character above reproach and a fine
reputation for energy and practical
knowledge, he might easily have rolled
up a long scroll of signatures to any
recommendation of his candidacy.
1t was understood yesterday after
noon that the Republican Senator'S
would take no definite action regarding
the nomination until Monday next at
the earliest.
