The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-07-28

from laughter The throng present in
cluded most of the government Off
cials. President Taft did not attend;
he was at Chevy Chase with Vice Pre-
sident Sherman playing golf
The Democrats put up a rafting
game in the field-some times. Repre-
sentative Hefin of Alabama, playing
in one of the outer gardens, once had
a chance to be a hero. The Repub-
licans came to life in the fifth inning
and were scoring 8 or 8 or 10 runs
when a line fly went winging out into
left field, straight al Hefiin. The port
ly Alabaman cast one eye at the ball
and another at his bare hands, and
"ducked." The hit ought to have been
good for home run. but Representa-
tive Rowland of Ohio fell exhausted
on the second sack and yelled for
somebody to come on out and finish
the run
Representative Nicholas Longworth
of Ohio failed to live up to his ad-
vance notices. He presented natty
appearance in his golf trousers, but
he "Caseyed" out twice with two men
on bases, got a base on balls once,
and then in the last half of the sew
enth showed a flash of rare speed when
he beat out tiny little infield hit.
His only other acquaintance with the
ball was couple of foul tips and
several long runs after two baggers,
slammed out by the eDmocrats,
The republicans stuck to their orig
inal line up throughout, but the dem
ocrats wore themselves out making 10
runs in the second, and after that
substitutes were called upon with
ever-increasing frequency AMI the bat
ting order was shifted every inning
The nearest the newspaper scorers
could come to the basehits and errors
was to give the democrats 20 of the
former and five of the latter. The
republicans are credited with 20 safe
hits and 8 errors.
Representative Burke of Pennsylva7
mia. who was at the receiving end for
the majority, is of slight build and
when he crushed into Pitcher Gaines
of West Virginia the little catcher
was sent heels over head to the
ground He picked himself up I'M
daunted, and then while he and the
pitcher were doing an "Alphone and
CASTOR" three democrats with a warp
ed idea of chivalrous courtesy, raced
home and added three runs to their
already opulent total.
The republicans were captained by
Representative Tenec of Pennsylvania,
who played short. Representatives
Gaines and Burke were the battery.
The democrats leader was Repre-
sentative Kinkead of New Jersey, who
played second. Representative Webb
of North Carolina pitched for the de-
mocrats and Representative Oldfield
of Arkansas was the catcher. Rev.
Father James Reynolds of Red Bank
n. j., was umpire. The score:
