with the infantrymen.
1t can hardly be said that they
played horse with the troopers, though
it was evident in the early part of the
game that the troopers were outclassed
and had an uphill fight all through the
game.
They were game, however, and
played ball right through to the finish
Considering the fact that the
cavalry nine was taken from one
troop only, while the infantrymen have
an entire regiment to select their
players from, much credit is due the
cavalrymen for the quality of the
game they exhibited and Lieutenant
Cavanaugh and his nine need not re-
greet the result of the contest.
1t is true the score card shows pre-
ponderance of tallies for the Browns,
but the Grays can find some consola-
ton in that card. For instance it will
be observed that though the redoubt-
able Richards was in the box for the
Browns, yet they made more hits off
his delivery than did the crack Park
City team in the game last Sunday.
The score was % to 8 against them.
Eight runs only, but that is all the
Park City men made in their game
with the Browns.
Not quite so large a crowd was in
attendance as al the Park City game,
nor was the game so scientific or we'll
played, but those present saw interest
ing and at times exciting play. Plenty
of all the varieties of baseball was
crowded into the hour and half con-
test. There were good plays and bad
plays, hard hitting and sharp base
running, and plenty of errors too.
Sam Chopper, as umpire, was very
much in evidence and his calliope
voice and frantic efforts to follow the
ball around the infield furnished con-
siderable amusement.
THE GRAND STAND.
The grand stand was well filed.
There was a sprinkling of officers and
their ladies, and the talent was repre-
sented by Messrs. Kyle and Blakey
Blakemore.
The only disorder during the entire
game occurred when Blakey, pro-
and Lieutenant Keene, endeavored
from his safely intrenched position,
to intimidate the umpire. said umpire's
decision on a close play not being in
accord with Blakey's idea on the sub
ject. Play ball, said the umpire, and
that settled it.
Chaplain Allensworth was a very
liluCll ililCiSSlcQ Spectator OI the game,
though he declares he doesn't know
the difference between a three Dagger
and a foul tip.
The ball opened with the cavalrymen
at the bat. They made three runs dur
ing their half. Then the Browns came
in and went them two better. The
feature of their half being a three
Dagger by Armstrong, bringing in Reid,
Comtie and Loring.
Tho
two, three order in the second and the
Browns added one TO their score.
BALL OVER THE FENCE.
Washington put the ball over the
fence in the third and leisurely made
the circuit of the bases. The Browns
made five more in their salf, on long
hits by Adams, Wheeler, Richards,
Henderson and Reid. In the fourth
and fifth innings both teams drew
blanks.
The dose was repeated to the troop
erS in the sixth. This inning proved
4 Waterloo for the troopers. the air
being full of all kinds of hits, rafting
he visitors and knocking their pitcher
Lieutenant Cavanaugh out of the box
The change of pitchers, however, did
lot better matters as the Browns con-
-lnued to pile up runs for the balance
If the game.
In the eighth Catcher Jackson had
o retire because of his fingers coming
n violent contact with a swift pitched
)al and Washington took his place
Notwithstanding these accidents the
roopers made a last grand rally in
his inning, but it was too late. the
Browns getting in three more runs,
giving them too great a lead TO be
overcome.
The troopers took their defeat grace
ully, but are going 10 try it again |
