WON BY THE URELL RIFLES.
Corcoran Cadets Defeated in "A Fast
Game of baseball

The Uren Rifles assembled in the Ma
! tional Guard gymnasium last night, and
held y short preliminary conference, which
/ eliminated in the adoption OF resolu-
tion, proposed by Captain Hartnett, Of
the baseball team, to the effect that they
put it all over the Corcoran Cadet nine
which was scheduled to arrive on the
battle grounds later. The cadets arrived
and began to do some preliminary stunts
which gave serious promise of defeating
the purpose of their opponents.
About $50 the game was started. The
Corcorans made two talIies by way of in
PRODUCTION. However. when the Urells
came Up to the bat TO take a swat at the
leather, they were not content until they
had brutaIy assaulted MI Boyle for
numerous hits and incidentally scored
ten Of the ONES that count. From then on
It was nip and tuck, each team scoring
several talii,s IN nearly every inning.
At the beginning OF the ninth inning
the score STOOD - to 20 Try as they
WouIC, The CUrcorans could not get
man past the second portmanteau. The
/ jrells came IN, aud two OF their men went
out Oht Mr.. Brown next sauntered up
10 the White-washed spot designating
nome-plate. After several moments pre-
itnlnary posing, he Strengthened out one
OF Boyie's low ones. Brown skedaddied
down to the initial ottoman, stole second
u
/ the decisive run, while Handiboe was do
ing stunts in the ambideXterous line with
the seventeen inches OF horsehide. Brown
was the hero OF the day, or properly
speaking, of the night, and was greeted
with cheers which rung the echoes
through the building.
This was the third game of the season
between the teams of the local indoor
/ baseball league, and two companies of
the National Guard being TIE contestants
for honors, quite large crowd assembled
To witness the struggle. The features of
the game were the gilt-edge tWirlnE done
by Brown for the winners, and the one
hand catch by Corporal Ratney, who
seized swift one after 1t Edd been
touched by tn pitcher, who was unable
to hold IL.
This catch saved the game for his mess
mates. Had the ball been dropped, the
cadets would have scored three runs
il. Boyle who occupied the centre Of
the diamond for the defeated team, also
did effective work in the box, after the
first inning, when the Urells scored ten
Of their counters. Brian, at right short
for the winners and Hartnett, who was
in charge of the receiving end of the win
ncIs battery, also did exceptionally good
work, and made several sensational
catches.

There has been some excellent progress

is by no means certain that the teams
that may be entered, representing the

be successful again in taking, the tro-

should the contests be held this year, the
scores will show great improvement over
those OF last year.
