c. L. A. and Y. NJ. c. 4. Teams to
Play Tonight.
The game of indoor ball between the
Chathams ana the Cadets at the Guards
Hall last night was the hottest OF the
Military League series. 1t was also the
most loosely played. The Chathams won
on score of 10 to IA, and the winning run
was scored in the ninth inning.
The hall was crowded with spectators,
nine-tenths of whom went there to root
for one team or the other There was a
perfect din of noise at some stages of the
game. The fact that both teams played
loose ball made the outcome of the game
an uncertainty, and kept the Unrest at a
high pitch. The Cadets had the game well
in hand in the fifth inning, with the score
10 TO 6 in their favor, but the First Regi-
ment boys could not steady themselves
and, while they remained ahead until the
ninth inning, the Chathams made garri-
son finish and won out.
Both Hohenstein and Barbour were ex-
eeedingly wild Barbour, especially, had
poor control of the ball, and he kept
Englerth on the move all during the
game. Englerih caught a fairly good
game, considering Barbour's wildness.
Purse worked hard, but caught a miser-
able game He missed a number of third
strikes and several foul tips. The fielding
of both teams was ragged. The Chathams
are given eight and the Cadets nine errors,
but the scorer was lenient with both teams
in this respect.
The best feature of the game was the
bese running OF both teams, but more par
ticulary of the Cadets. Papy made IA
beautiful catch of a line hit in the fifth in
ming. He caught the ball while on the
run, but it touched the floor, and he had to
put 1t to first, which he did just in the
mex OF time. II was a play that required
headwork as well as qulckness and was
nicely executed
The Cadets got two runs right off the
reel The Chathams scored one in the
first inning and the Cadets three in the
second. Two more for the Cadets in the
third and the same number for the Chat
| hams made the score to in favor Of the
First Regiment team. The Cadets scored
one in the fourth and two in the fifth. and
| the Galatians got the same number of
tallies
The Cadets did not score in the next two
innings, but the artillerymen tailed three
runs in the sixth and one in the seventh,
which tied the score. The excitement was
intense, for both teams were playing so
loosely that either was apt to win out
Barbour went to pieces again in the
eighth and the Cadets ran up a total of
four runs, which gave them A. and IL
