Ready! Aim, Firel
AS the command of his captain rang
out, catcher Granith took firm grip
on his weapon of destruction and with
a determined look upon his face,
placed himself in the center OF the
fight. AS he gazed slowly over the
field of battle he saw three OF his com
rades stationed at different places,
wondering If they were due to die; the
score board showed a lead of two runs
for the invading forces and realizing
that it was he and he only who could
save the day for the boys of Uncle
Sans army, the sturdy little soldier
catcher faced the battery and-bang!
he had fired at the first delivery. Out
in center field Kiefer was running
madly in the direction of the fence In
pursuit of flying sphere; around the
bases the soldiers circled and when the
procession had halted Granith was OBJ
served standing alone on second, the
rest of his comrades having safely
reached the home fort In the grand
stand people were acting like mad and
with reason. 1t was rally that has
not been seen on the diamond this sea-
son. Facing a four run lead the sol
diers had come through in their half
of the last inning with five runs, TAX
ing the game from the Internationals
with a score OF Z to 8.
The Internationals had no one to
blame but themselves. After having
virtually cinched the game and with
pitcher Salazar working in fine form.
they deliberately gave the game TO the
soldiers by bad team work and poor
playing Two hits were all that was
allowed by the Mexican pitcher in this
inning. but they netted five runs and
they were not helped by errors.
Dominguez started pitching for the
Mexicans but was replaced in the sec
ond inning by Salazar, who only al
lowed three hits during the six innings.
The soldiers also changed their
pitcher in the first inning, putting Meis
in the place of Dukes. and the ex-sec-
ond baseman kept his opponents down
TO two hits.
Batteries: Internationals, Dominique,
Salazar and Manquera; Fort Bliss,
Dukes, Meis and Granith.

the day from the White Sox with a
score of to 2
The AIillers cinched their game in the
third inning, when they simply out
played the Populars from start to fin
ish, getting in five runs with two
bunt hits and three errors. The SON
tried manfully to play the game but
the Millers had made up their minds &c
keep in the leading place with the Sol
diers and they played baseball. They
hunted; they ran bases, they took
chances and they got the POpulars
IA tiled and when the last man was out
the score board was marked with the
figure 5.

mercy from start to finish Even the
heaviest sluggers found they had me-
