the same time amusing baseball
games that has been played in this
city was brought of at the League
grounds yesterday afternoon, when
the Marines played the Governor Is
land team that is going through to
Manila on the Thomas.
Some four hundred men, officers
and civilians, journeyed out to the
ball grounds, and the old grandstand
looked more crowded than II has for
a long time.
The rooters were there in force,
and. not content with yelling them
selves hoarse. had brought. fireworks
along. and at intervals the noise was
deafening.
| There Is always funny man on
each ship. and the Thomas is no ex-
ception, In fact the transport carries
at least two comedians. And they
did not do thing to the Marines In
'he JoshihB line, on, NO.
What. that guy make first; not
on your life. He's been too long in
the tropics to be able to raise trot,"
and remarks of that sort dealt out to
The half-wets. who. in turn, would
all combine to stare Mt soldier as
he went to bat, and then yell, Wow!
Another recruit; amt they got moth
ing but kids on this team?'
And the umpire - "Phoney" Da-
Wis. Esq. - had fine time. too;
why, when he was not being sur
rounded by yelling mob of Ma
rines. the other team were putting
in their best ticks endeavoring to
prove that some decision was wrong.
Yes, "Phoney" sure had great time
OF 1t, and in trying to even things up
after making mistake. always got
into more hot water with one team
or the other.
The roofing was thing OF Joy.
and II out locA stars at that line Of
business would have been at the
grounds they would have learned a
thing or two about how to boost a
side along. 1t was unique. and an
eye opener to the few Honolulu citi-
zens who were present.
The Thomas nine all turned out
in uniform marked ...Governor's Is
land" and inquiry elected the. fact
that although the team as constf-
tuted yesterday had not played to-
gether for almost year they had
all at one time been stationed at the
post near New York which Is known
as Governors Island.
The first three innings yesterday
were productive of no runs, and the
game looked as II 1t were going to
be very close one. Hines was hold
ing the Thomas bunch down In great
style, and they seemed unable to con-
meet with his curves. Anderson,
who has been in the hospital for
some time past, resumed his old po-
sition as catcher, and, considering
that he felt far from fit, did remark
ably well. His throwing to second
was splendid. and he got rid Of two
men in that manner.
Dunn the pitcher for the Thomas.
did well up to the fourth, when he
was hit up for three runs by Davis.
Gibson and Anderson. Sutton. who
did the catching, played a good game
up to the time he injured his hand
In stopping hard throw from first.
The first score was made in the
fourth by the Thomas team, when
they got two men home. At least
the umpire gave one Of the men who
scored rs safe at first, when he
should have been out. and shortly
afterwards sent another to the bench
for cutting bases as he ran. Then
there was heated argument for
about ten minutes, In which both
teams became involved. The Ma
rines kicked about the man being
called safe at first, and the Governors
had been put out for cutting cor

However, peace was once more re-
stored. and the game proceeded for
while without any more trouble,
The Marines made three runs in
their fourth and were then one run
ahead; there were very few rooters
on hand for the Marines. but a small
newsboy did his best to liven things
up bit. His remarks were to the
point: "Youse can't beat de Ma
rines; why, dey are de champions
of Honolulu. Youse only got de two
