BASEBALL GAMES
ARE WALkOVER
Local Players Take Sailors
Into Camp in Both
Contests.

Two interesting but onesided games
of baseball We're played at the league
grounds yesterday afternoon before
| over HOO spectators. The local teams
sailors being unable to solve the
curves which Were dished up by Reu-
ter, Hampton and Bushnell The
games We're interesting on account of
the fact that the local men hammer
ed the ball at every opportunity and
there was plenty of base running of
the risky order which is always pleas
ing TO the spectators.
The first game was between the
Picked team of which Eddie Fernan-
DEE was captain and the Colorado.
Reuter- started out in the box and was
complete puzzle to the sailors. He
pitched gilt-edged ball and the at
tempts of the rooters in the grand
stand to rattle him We're of no avail
Jones caught a fine game, and his
throwing 70 second was the cleanest
that he has done this year. In the
fourth inning he threw out two men
in succession, both throws being hard
and clean, landing in Vannatta's
glove with plenty of time to spare.
The Colorado men put UP game
in the field that reflected great credit
on their team, when it is considered
that they have not had a chance to
practise at all for the last four months
with the exception of the two or three
days which they spent in Yokohama
Their batting was very weak and both
Hampton and Reuter- had them going
all the time. Hampton went into the
box in the sixth and showed fine work.
re had more speed than at any time
during the past season and worked his
men for all that he could. The two
runs which they got in the eighth were
a gift, as he threw the ball afar over
the centerfelders head in an attempt
to throw to second and eased down the
sting of defeat in this way.
In the second game Bushnell was in
the box for the Saints and pitched fine
ball. The sailors acknowledged that
they could not hit him and after the
first inning he did not allow a run to
cross the plate. In the meantime the
Saints We're hammering everything
that came their way and they landed
early and often. With the exception
of the seventh and eighth they
brought in runs each time that they
went to the bat and the score, II to 1,
shows how easy the game was for
them.
Reed, the West Virginia right fielder,
was the only man who was able to
connect with the ball in good shape
and his work was good A two bag
ger and a. single out of three times
at the bat was doing WELL particularly
when the fine fielding of the Saints
was to be considered. The meh from
the flagship changed their battery in
the third inning. Standard and Par
ker taking the place of Bluden and
Snyder, but the change did not do
much good as the local men had on
their batting clothes and laid down
hunts or Strengthened out curves for
clean hits whenever they came up.
