Two more of the usual quality games
at the Athletic park yesterday after
noon. The great game between the
Beers and Dragonlets, was all that
had been prophesied of it and then
some.
The result of the game was in doubt
right up to the very last ball pitched
and the spectators were kept keyed
up to tense state of excitement
First the Dragonlets took the lead
then the Beers caught up and passed
them. Then the Dragonlets tied the
score and again took the lead but were
finally beaten in the second half of
the eighth inning.
The Dragonlets might well have won
the game had not Sheppard become
peeved. When this husky Cavalryman
becomes peeved he is liable to do
things to the ball and he certainly
did that yesterday afternoon for he
sent double down by left field that
looked as though it would never quit.
The G. A. G. team scored in the
eighth inning on an overthrow at
third. The ball passed the fielder and
went into the crowd and the runner
who was safe on third by that time,
ran home. The ball was recovered in
time to be sent to Sheppard who
touched the runner out, but the run
was allowed on account of ground
rules.
This annoyed and vexed Sheppard.
He muttered soft nothings to himself
and, when he next went to the bat,
he had blood in his eye. Somebody
had scarcely made the remark that
SHEPPARD looked like doing something
when the ball began to soar over to.
ward left field as though it would
never drop. This scored Wood and
took Sheppard to second The latter
scored later, making the winning run
Flores Finds Them Asleep.
Jack Flores worked his catching
them asleep at first stunt to perfec-
ton. He accounted for three runners
in this way and very nearly got sew
eral others.
Thompson, the Marine, made a great
running catch. The Japs had men on
second and third with none down.
Walker hit out a long hard one to
left field and it looked sure for
score, but Thompson caught it on the
run and got the ball back to third
quickly enough to prevent any scoring.
Even then the Japs looked very
much like scoring as there was but
one man down. Then there was n
hard line drive which Slorp handled
and sent to second in
time to make double play and re.
tire the side. This got the Marines
out of very bad hole
Among the notables present was
Fred Harrison, the contractor, he is
largely interested in the park and this
was the first time that he has had a
chance to come and see the games,
Though an Englishman, Fred is quite
a fan and enjoys nothing So well as
a good game of ball.
The First Game.
The Marines made their only two in
the second inning. Davis walked hit
by a pitched ball, stole second and

to get him out at third. Hines was
safe on second baseman error and

Thompson hit a slow one to first
baseman who saw that Hines was
threatening the plate and threw to the
catcher But the throw was wild and
