brief sketch.
After tho war there WAS again a reor-
ganization Of the regular army. In 1866 the
Second battalion of the Sixteenth became
the Twenty-fifth infantry and the Third
battalion the Thirty-fourth infantry leaV-

close of the war found the regular army

consolidation was again effected, reducing
the number Of infantry regiments to
twenty-five. Ni'
The semi political duties which the resi-
ment was called upon to perform in the
southern states from 1869 to 1877 was OF a
nature most disagreeable and uninterest-
Ing from the standpoint of a soldier The
duties were, however, executed in a most
conscientious and successful manner by
officers and men as exeniplified by the dis
hnguished examples of good judgment,
discretion and tact displayed by the Off
GERS in charge during the Packard Nichols
trouble at New Orleans in 1876 and the
Brooks Baxter embroglio at Little Rock,

yesterday afternoon at the Capital City
League Park the Cornell Company de-
feated their rivals, the Aloysius club. by
the close score, 3 to - Umpire Hoffman,
had to call the battle in the eighth in
ming on account of darkness.
1t was without a doubt the mOt hotly
contested game that has been fought SO
far this season, and it brought back
memories of the scrappy game which was
played about five years ago between st.
Stephens and Aloysius.
The Tigers we're first to score. john
ME Salb, after one man was down, got
safe on first on an error by Carr and
later scored on single of Billie
keane's, to right. They failed to get any
in the second, but crossed two more
in the third, on a double. two singles
and an error. After this round the
boys failed to get another man across the
plate. The Swampoodle boys got their
two tallies in the final session On a
single and three costly errors.
Yesterday was Buscher's farewell game
in the Capital City League, as he has
signed contract to twirl for the Danville
team in the Virginia State League.
Buscher pitched a cracking good game.
allowing the AloySfus team only three
bingles. Up until the fifth inning the
tall box artist held them hitless and run
less, and the first hit, which was clouted
out by Murphy, was far from being clean,
as Hessler had his gloved hand on it and
lost his balance. The score:

exciting and closely contested ones that
have been played in the Marquette League
so far this season. At no time was it
safe. men being on bases most of the
time and the lead changing or being
threatened on several occasions.
With the score to 1 against them at
the beginning of the sixth inning, the
club boys landed on Herrell for seven
hits, which Melted them six runs, giving
Item a one-run lead. Piozet weakened
in the Printers half and allowed them
the same number OF hits. which gave
them four runs and the lead again. They
managed to retain it for the balance of
the game. although the Diamond lads
maze heroic efforts, and did manage to
get one more before the game was
called.
Hines made the feature catch of the
day when he sphered Thornburg's slash
ing drive. nabbing 1t with one hand while
going backward on a dead run. The

TO GIANT PLAYERS
Jennings No Longer Asks
''How Big Is He?" But
"Can He PIay?"

1T seems that big men haven't show
in base ball any more said Hughie
Jennings today, discussing the new men
who have broken into the major league
ranks in the last two years. writes the
sporting editor of the Detroit News. The
new men all seem to be small in stature.
There is not demand for big men or the
big men have ceased to excel at the
game. The little fellows are crowding
the big ones out.
II remember when little men did not
have much of show in the game: when
a prejudice seemed to exist against them
1 can easily recall the time when to be
a first baseman a man had to be tall: if
he wasn't-'good night You find many
men of medium height playing the initial
sack today and Tom Jones is a fine eX-
ample. Everybody gets show now and
they don't ask how tall he is, just so he
delivers a good article of ball.

People would think that ball players
would be glad to get a day off. The
general idea would be that they would

Two Who Do Not Stand in Well.
There are two men in the American
League on whom Umpire Connolly will
never make a mistake by giving them
the best Of any decision. There may be
more, but there are certainly two. One
of them is pitcher: the other a catcher.
The pitcher is George Mullin; the
catcher's name has not been made pub

club.
Both players got in wrong with Con-

which made Connolly his enemy:
