  The measurement of the central exclusive production of charged hadron pairs
$h^{+}h^{-}$ ($h = \pi, K, p$) by the STAR experiment at RHIC is reported. The
data from proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 200$ GeV were used in this
study. The pairs of charged hadrons produced in the reaction $pp\to
p^\prime+h^{+}h^{-}+p^\prime$ were reconstructed from the tracks in the central
detector, while the forward-scattered protons were measured in the Roman Pot
system. Differential cross sections were measured in the fiducial region
determined by the geometrical acceptance of the experimental setup. They were
compared to phenomenological predictions based on the Double Pomeron Exchange
model. The fiducial $\pi^+\pi^-$ cross section was extrapolated to the
Lorentz-invariant region, which allowed decomposition of the invariant mass
spectrum into continuum and resonant contributions.
