Some Snappy Ball Is Put
Up Before a Good Sized
Audience of Fans at Wash
ington Park Grounds.

The City Baseball league opened
with two games at Washington Park
! Sunday afternoon. In the first game
the Fort Bliss team defeated the Inter

the second game, between the Globe
Mills and the White Sox teams, went
! TO the Globe Mills by the same score.
The games were of seven innings
each and there was plenty of lively
| and snappy playing. A large crowd
was present at the games and it looks
! as if the season VIII prove success
! full, as the class of ball put up in Sun
1 days game is as good as that played
! by the Cactus league teams of former
years.
The Fort Bliss and Internationals
! played the first game of the afternoon.
In this game each team made four
hits apiece and three errors were
marked against each side. POlinski
worked in the box for the soldiers
and Smith caught. For the Interna-
tionals Gutierrez did the pitching and
Leyva the catching. Polinski pitched
an excellent game. He allowed only
four hits during the seven innings
and made eight of the Internationals
fan the air. Gutierrez, of the Inter-
nationals, also did good work in the
box and the way he pitched would
have won most any game. Only four
hits were made off his delivery and
he famed six men.
The Fort Bliss team made its first
run in the opening inning and came
back again in the third inning with
another Thatcher opened the inning
for the soldiers and made first by be-
ing hit by a pitched ball. Meis, next
up, hit to the pitcher who fumbled.
