Soldiers Outclassed in the
Last Game of the
Season of 1912

The Millers are the City league cham
pions of 1912. In the final game of the
season, played Sunday at Washington
park, they completely outplayed the
22d infantry team and decided the City
league title by to 2 score. For the
entire nine innings the teams played
ball that was the best seen in the city
this year and which was in class far
surprising that of amateur ball. Both
teams were in the game every minute.
playing sensational ball, pulling off
thrillers in the fielding, hitting and
base running line and the pitching
work; especially was that of Hill of the
highest order.
The Miilers did fine work through
out the game, and in winning
their title played baseball that
deserved to win AS during the
other games of the season, they
showed a gameneSS and fighting spirit
which will win games for any team.
ana when things were going against
them at times, they buckled into it
with the result that they had the big
end of the score Likewise, when they
started anything during the game, they
finished it, and when a man reached a
base, the batter following generally
sent him along.
Cliff Hnrs wonderful pitching as
sisted the Millers in winning the decid-
ing game of Sunday. Ten different
times he famed men and he made the
generally with men on the bags. His
hits, too, were kept well scattered, and
only in one inning did they play an i'm
portant part in the scoring. Hills no
hit game of a week ago and his defeat
of the soldiers in the final game which
decided the pennant Sunday has put
him IN the leading class of the local
twirling artists.
Claiborne Adams, the foster father Of
the Millers, was near the diamond Sun
day and at all times was encouraging
his team to win
Soldiers Not Up TO FoAm.
The soldiers were not up to their
form in Sundays game and neither at
things which they have done in other
critical games of the year. Their field
ing IN many cases was mediocre and
the pitching department was poor.
Scamerhorn was hit so hard and was
50 wild that Lieut.. CARRIER had to pull
him from the game in the sixth inning
and sent Kay in to replace him Kay
pitched much better ball than Scamer-
horn and possibly if he had pitched the
entire game the MiIIers might have
been held down closer by the soldiers.
but it is not believed that the soldiers
could have beaten them, because of the
form they were in for Sundays game.
Besides the honor which goes with
the winning of the City league cham
pionship. there is a pennant fund
amounting to about $3.50, which will be
divided between IS players and a final
banquet which had been promised to
the Millers earlier in the season if they
should win the pennant Claiborne
Adams will be the host at the banquet
which viii be given to the victorious
MilIers.
MiIIers start Game Lively.
With the opening inning, the MiIlers
started off by }ucking away Two neat
Ii tie runs, which gavr them a nice
margin to play on during the game |

Darneu, who was taking Bankers place
in left field, flied out to Lamb, but Har-
ley Kiefer, the Millers' captain, was hit
by Scamerhorn and sent to his base.
And by the way, Harley was in the
game for all of the nine innings and his
spirit helped the Miuers greatly. Weiss,
because Of soldiers pitchers wildness,
was PASSED to f-rsC ana then he ana
Kiefer enacted a successful double steal.

". Grady. the first Miller at the plate
in 7''e second, was given walk, but
CT though he stole second, his team

place, famed.

Lamb and Yost both went out and, al
though Fisher got on a base by an err
ror, Erickson could not help him any
and the inning was over.
The 22d infantry band which wa
present, tried to bring the soldier play
ers back to life by playing and the
crowd stretched, but it didn't seem to
be in the soldiers on Sunday and Their
efforts were useless.
In the first of the third Inning, the
Millers went out in one-two-three or
der and the soldiers did likewise. UNI
plre De WiSens was hit in the shoulder
by pitched ball, and Grady's hot liner,
which H Grady did away with brought
back the old pep" to the game in this
inning.
Pitcher Proves n Hitter.
Hill, the great little pitcher of the
Millers, started the fourth inning oft
with a two-bagger and H. Grady sent
him to third with a sacrifice. ". Grady
sacrificed Hill home for a score and
then beat out the ball to first, landing
at that section safely. Fassett and
Leyva both went out with the AIillerS
one run to the good for the inning.
The soldiers in this inning went the
route as previously. Kemp, the first
up, sent a hot one. which Kiefer sWal-
lowed and had him out. Hill famed
both Adams and Lamb.

generally known to the baseball
world.
While Tesreau has been pitching
the Giants to the National league
championship he has been drawing
the measly sum Of $500 a season
That's even less than half the amount
being pulled down by some players on
second division teams.
But Tesreau's work has been appre-
ciated so much that he will receive
bonus of S1260 extra for his great
services during the season, with the
promise of q present in the shape of
an automobile if he succeeds in win
ming the worlds title from the Red
Sox-
This information was received by
Tesreau senior in a letter from his
son.
