CAVALRY LOSES
 BALL GAME
Country Club Team Wins Con- test From Soldier Boys by
 Score of 20 to II
MANY ERRORS MADE BUT
 HITTING ENllvENS PLAY

The baseball fans of the Warren district were given real treat Sun day afternoon when the sphere ar tistS of the Eighth Cavalry and a picked Bisbee team crossed bats at Warren. sometimes known as Spot loss Town" To say that the fans were treated to such a baseball game as would be seen on a big league diamond would be stretching it a lit- tie. but nevertheless the contest was one worthy of going the distance to see. The fact that score or more errors were made was not sufficient to deter the enthusiasm in the game, which was fined with good stick work and much run getting. It is run ge,T
 ting and stick work that the fans
 usually want to see and an error more
 or less deepens the interest in a
 game. especially in the Warren dis trict, where the fans don't get any too
 many opportunities to witness their
 favori.e sport
 The whole story can almost be told
 in a nutshell and the nut shell doesn't
 have to be so very large either. The
 boys of Fort Huachuca were worsted
 by a decisive score. The exact count
 at the end of the nine innings of play
 showed that the boys who guard the
 honor of the flag had crossed the
 home plate but eleven times while
 their opponents had pulled out an
 even twenty runs. The score itself shows that there must have been a few errors and some heavy stick work O. cuurse the errors were to nobody's credit but the stick work was. The soldier boys don't pretend to be
 crackerjack bail players and it was more to give the people of the War
 ren district an opportunity to see
 game that prompted them to play. Cavalryman Cole pitched for the
 boys from the fort and he was land
 ed on for no very small number of hits. In fact, in the yernacular of the army, he was bombarded. Even if Cole was little wild with tho
 horse hide covered sphere, and found it difficult to find the mark. or rather
 the plate. when it comes to sending a rife ball to the spot, he is there. according to his colleagues-and it is the rifle balls that count when ones country's safety is in danger. Blair. who pitched the game for the Bisbee or the Country club team, i as it was called, wasn't immune from showing streaks of wildness. He was hit some-enough to give his oppon- 1 ents an opportunity to cross the home plate almost dozen times. Of course his support was hardly what it might have been. but neither did Cole have any kind of support that could be relied upon.
 This was the order of the battle: l Country Club-Baker, catcher: Goh- ring. first base; Blair, pitcher: Bos- well. short stop; Engelder, center | field; Ziesemer, left field; Harring-
 ton, second base; Lewis, right field: Hamilton, second base.
 Cayalrymen-Edgar, catcher: Day, first base; Cole, pitcher; Homers, short stop; Tout, center field: Will 1 loughby. left field; Connor and Un--
 derwood. second base; Craig, right l field; Reese and Underwood, second base.
 About two hundred persons assem bled at the grounds in Warren to witness the game. After the game
 was over they visited the soldiers in
 camp. The cavalry were encamped at Warren, hardly 100 yards from the baseball grounds. At camp the visitors were extended every courtesy ! They were shown all around and even got an opportunity to see the cavalry
 men at mess. There were many mem 1 bers of the fair sex among the visitors and all they had to do was to ask questions which were readily and gal ! lantly answered
 An informal guard mount was held in the afternoon, the required number of members of Companies F and q | participating.
