The Hawaiian gazette., 1913-11-28

While the members of the judiciary
baseball team and those of the Capitol
aggregation ate sumptuous turkey
dinner Yesterday, the bill was footed
by the team which halls from the
mauka side of King street, for the
Judiciarites yesterday morning at Moi
liili Field won from the Capitol bunch
their eighth consecutive annual victory.
This is the reason that Captain-Man.

terlitz Berndt may lie excused Il he
carries with him long face.
The game was one, however, which
no team need be ashamed to have lost,
for il WAS mighty good scrap while
il lasted, as the score of two to one
will show. And then there was dis.
tingnished audience, among those pres.

John W. Caldwell, Auditor Joseph II.
Fisher, Collector of Internal Revenue
Charles A. Cottrill and as many as n

which does business under the roofs of
the Judiciary Building and the Capitol

Sins of omission and commission in

George X. Clark pitched a fine game
for the Capitol aggregation, and accord

won, but the Fates were with Henry

stop for the makai side of King street,
contributed great deal to the undoing
of the Capitol team, for he stood as a
stone wall between second and third
and handled his many chances like a
veteran in that position. He took four
teen chances and is charged with only
one error. Aylett, for the Capitol nine,
proved also good shortstop. and one
fast play he made at one time brought
much deserved applause from the dis.
