Republicans. members Of the Portland
Club, had as their guest Of honor Satur-
day at the annual clambake at Mitch
ellis, Spurwink. Frank ]. Ham, chairman
of the Republican State committee. Mr..
Ham did not make a speech nor did any
member of the club, for the gathering
was very informal, but nevertheless
happy.
At 80 O'Clock 40 automobiles lined up
before the Trelawny building, where the
club has it's headquarters on the entire
top floor, and an unretarded passage
was made to the Spurwink inn. The
clambake was served at precisely 24o
o'clock. Following this the main feat
ure of the day was presented. when bus
mess men cast aside every care and
played baseball. Two teams. captained
by F. Y. Gilbert and H. F. Merrill, lined
up for nine innings of frolic, and they
certainly had it. Not only the players
enjoyed the game. but also those who
eagerly watched it. One of the most
frolicsome of the features was the re-
tirement of one side with single man
out. Neither they nor their opponents
noticed the mistake until the teams had
changed places from the field to the bat.
When the victims of the oversight came
to bat again they demanded that they
be given five outs. Their request was
not granted, however, and perhaps that
is why they lost the game, for Gilbert's
outfit won by the score Of IA to s. On his
team were E. L. Clark. F. E. Timber
