 The Colts regaincd the lead in their half when Bnyeu singled and scored on Coylc's second two bagger They cinched the game in the eighth. Coomhs got in through Ayers miseuc. but was forced at second by Eilycu Coyic slapped one at Bynum. and the short stop stopped short and kissed his hand at the passing sphere Ingraham then appeared and delivered the needed hit Eilycu counted. Coyle started to steal home and Knox who was winding up. reversed the process and started to uu- wind. He was nearly to the plate be- fore he threw the ball and the umpire very properly allowed Cnyle to score on the balk.
 The soldiers made a violent attempt In the ninth. Bynum got on when I.u- men fumblcd ingraham's low throw McEachn forced him at second. Me Donough hit safely The best that Chuck could do was tall foul which Lomen captured. Ayers then stung the ball for what looked like a good two hanger but Coyle electrified the crowd by capturing it after a long run.

Besides. he twice threw Thatcher out at first on clean hits to right field, a trick very seldom duplicated. even in professional ball. Nee Coyle also pulled off a sen sational catch in left center, robbing Ayers of hit and the soldiers of a chance to lie the score
 Ayers kept mp his good work around third stopping several hits that should have been good for TWO bases. Bynum had am off day at short. allowing sey- eral easy chance [" gel away from him.
 ngraham and Coylc carried off the batting hoaors for the Colts, while McDouough. new man in the army lineup, was the slugger for his team. His raI for three sacks was the first thrce-bagecr "n the new grounds.
 The army lads set their supporters to yelling like Commanehes in the very first inning. Barrett. first up. got on when eoyle dropped his fly to center. Thatcher and Bynum singled conseeu- lively. and Barrett came Ioping in. Me l.Ichin hit to Coombs. and Nate tried to get Thatcher at third. but only sue cccdod in soaking him in the back with the ball McDonough then nearly lost the ball over the left field fence and brought up on third. Mack scored Ia moment later when Ingraham made his first error of the season. This ended the run getting for that session. as the next three men were retired in order. This so excited The army back CTS that one of them chased around the lot offering two to one on the white suited lads. He found but few talk CTS. but moment later the bunch were kicking themselves for not grabbing his roll.
 Coombs started the fireworks by pasting one at Bynum which went through that worthy's neither extremi- ties Bilyou walked and Coyle met one on the nose. landing on the second sack. Ingraham duplicated by smashing one over the left field fence. Captain Lo- men then advanced to the front and
