to o. and put the service series TO IN
Its favor The midshfpnen were right IN
the game from start TO finish, and tne
brigade gave them as enthusiastic support
throughout the game as they would have
done had the nine been batting out runs
every inning instead of accommodating goose
eggs.
II was a game marked by light hitting.
Both Hyatt and Anderson were remarkably
effective Two hits were all that the mid
shipmen could garner off Hyatt's benders
and four singles the best the West Pointers
could do against Anderson Anderson gave
three bases on balls to one by Hyatt. and

started the game badly by being wild and
walking the first batter. This proved
costly. as he scored one of the two runs
later.

watched the game From early in the
morning until after play had started trains
hundreds of Army and Navy enthusiasts.

before the game was called, and through

break right, drew a base on balls. Ander-

got men on bases, but Anderson had nit his
stride and pitching beautiful ball.
Whenever any OF the bags were occupied
he frightened up and moved down the Army
batters.

tire tonight, returning to West Point to-
morrow.
