LIGHT INFANTRY MUCH STRONGER.
Overwhelming Defeat of the Fort
Myer Team.


The Departmental League season opened
yesterday afternoon with the teams repre-
senting the Fort Myer and Washing, On
Light Infantry as the opposing forces The
Infantry team is much stronger one than
it was last year, and had no trouble in
walking from and with the troopers from
across the river. The Fort Myer team COM
prises some clever ball players, but they
need some practice in team work. The out
field took IL: long flies with good judgment
The Infantry is undoubtedly 30 per cent
stronger than it was last year. Hager and
Smith of last years Norfolk team occupy
the places at second and short, respective
ly, the latter acting the captain If the
team. Wisner at third and Chamberlain at
first are all that could be desired, and the
in1eld presented an iron front to the heavy
sluggers from across the river.
Nicholson pitched an excellent game, Civ
iEg but two bases on balls and striking out
five of the riders. Chamberlain supported
him in fine style. In the outfield, Klein
schmidt, Nugent and Brown are a trio of
outfielders that cannot he excelled in the
league. Their work yesterday, especially
that of Doc" kleinschmidt and Nugent,
was excellent, several difficult catches be-
ing made by poth The Infantry team
made four errors, three of which are cred
tied to Smith and one to Chamberlain
Gibson, Gentry and Boylen all tried their
luck in the box against the Infantry, but
the latter had on their batting clothes and
nothing could stop them. HaEer made a
double and two home runs, Wisner five sin
giles, Harry Chamberlain three singles and
kleinschmidt q triple and a single.
The Fort Myer team presented a neat ap-
pearance in gray uniforms, with red sweat
ers and stockings, while the Infantry wore
their white suits, with black trimmings
Mr.. John Heydler umpired the game and
gave nv ersal satisfaction, hardly one of
his decisions being questioned.
