The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-04-10


the benefit ball game played on Satur-
day exceeded the sum of $4,000 that
the salaries of the judiciary depart
ment employees are not to be cut,
/ despite legislative threats to the con-
! trary. The boys from the law courts
! handed out the right dope on Satur-
day and kept the legislative players on
good terms with themselves right TO
the very last, for at no time did the
game look like being a walk-over for
the legal luminaries, True, the first
| tally was credited to the Judiciary
team in the second half of the second
( inning but when the lawmakers equal
led in the first of the fourth and then
went two runs ahead in the fifth, it
looked as though the generally ac-
cepted opinion that the judiciary boys
were the better players was to be
rudely shaken.
Trouble for Lawmakers.
/ But in the second of the seventh
there was dire trouble for the law
makers. The Judiciary boys got on to
Castles pitching and fairly batted
him to pieces, getting four men over
the home-plate before the third out,
Even then it was not all over, for a
single by All Chu in the eighth and a
couple by A. Q. Marcallino and Yates
in the first of the ninth put the score
level There was sure something do
! ing them 1t was out, second to first,
! for Parker when he swiped at Castles
platetrimmers, but Johnny Marcallino
electrified the crowd by a three-bagger
over center-field and then Bob Chill
| lingworth brought him home by flier
! in the right garden. Sure, the Judi
! ciary boys won but only after grand
game of ball, and the Reps. were so
pleased with their own showing that
the resolution TO reduce the salaries
of those on the Judicial nine was
tabled for the time being, ultimately
to be postponed indefinitely when it
was reported that the lepers at Molo-
lSai would receive more than $3.50
Played Some Good Ball.
OF course, nobody expected to see
ball of the Oahu League standard, and
it is a moot point whether anyone an
ticipated the classy ball exhibited, but
it was really fine at times Al. Castle
did some good pitching, anly issuing
ane pass first and he wa swell sup
ported by the legislators he had mar
shalled behind him. At first Tony
Marcallino was os nippy as possible
Yates was snappy at short-stop, Cooke
caught with precision; All Chu guard
ed the left garden with vigilance, and
generally the lawmakers played well
all-round. There was only one error
charged up against them, and that
one was debited to Willy Williamson,
who had to face a continual rain of
bantering comment from his lady
friends in the the stand.
At a Disadvantage.
He only made one mistake, but
he couldn't look both ways at once and
that ball caught him gazing towards
his tormentors. Johnny Marcallino
was the hero of the match. He batted
in tip top form finishing with per-
feet average. He started out with a
two-bagger, but was pinned in trying
to make it a treble, next time up he
got first with fly to right field, stole
second but was put out at third by w.
Chillingworth; he made a two-bagger
in the sixth to right ED bringing in
Akana and getting in himself on Chill
lingworths hit along the foul line, and
ninth he scored the winning run get
ting three-bagger over centerfeld to
wind up the game.
Even Umpire, Gave Satisfaction.
There was something interesting all
