! SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, II. T.,
Sept. 23.-The Cavalry went down to
defeat Sunday afternoon, and the
, speedy foot soldiers of Colonel Nc
| Gunnegle did the trick, to 5. Bet
! ting favored the mounted branch of
the service, and it looked from the
press box during the practise and
opening session that Lieutenant Gro
ringer and his well-trained outfit were
about due for the pennant. But the
! uncertainty of baseball upsets all
prophecy, and it is this very feature
that empties our shops and offices on
busy days and helps Zen like Drey-
fus and John T. Brush to pay salaries
and dividends. The spirit of this
game at Schofield was intense in. it's
earnestness, and the calm assurance
"Nothin' to it," from Cavalry and In
fantry rooters on either side of the
field, promised well for support of
the moral type, and as the game pro-
crossed this one thing was feature
of the contest. Kidd and Edwards
were in the points for the dough
boys, and the Cavalry chose Suddarth
to pitch to Steinhauer. The First in
troduced a new outfielder named
Cross, and though he denied any gee
nealogy with the famous Monty Cross
of the Athletics, still he has the in
stincts of the old-time Mackman.
Hamilton substituted for Ferris at,
second, and with these innovations
the game was on IT,. ~
Umpires Unsteady.
The game was loosely-played af-
fair from the start to the stretch, but
this was due in measure to the poor
umpiring of Guyon and his fellow in
dicator, Cerelius In the third inning
Guyon tied things up beautifully by.
allowing Edwards tally to count Ed
wards was on third after stealing two
bases, and Bladen was at bat "Red"
had three balls and two strikes, with.
two men gone, and Edwards at sig
nal from the bench started for home.
while Suddarth was purposely wind
ing up to catch Bill at the rubber.
The umpires ordered Bladen to first
on the fourth ball, but the foxy Rus
sian stood perfectly still, thus pre-
venting Steinhauer from putting the
ball on the fleet Edwards. Guyon ig-
nored the infringement and the catch
er tailed. The play was completed
as planned and the result desired was
obtained, but SO palpable was the in
reference of Bladen that some Japan
csc women sitting near the sidelines
protested the umpire's decision, and
that, in the language of Theocrites, is
goin' some. Again, In the fourth in
ming Suddarth passed Byrne and
Steinhauer allowed the, fourth ball to
get away from him. Byrne seooted
to third while Germany" was field
ing the sphere, and Cerelius allowed
the extra bases, all rules to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. The ball was
not in play until returned to the
pitcher, but Cerelius reasoned differ
emily and his judgment was sustain
ed. These sort of decisions indicate
a lack of technical knowledge, and
while the Cavalry seemed to take the
thing good-naturedly ana Quietly &C
knowledged the authority of the UNI
pires, still, those two mistakes helped
a heap in the Infantry run-getting
and practically decided the contest.
Classy Sticking. .Es-s
The hitting of May for the Cavalry
and Cross for the doughboys was the
feature May got to Kidd for three
hits, while Cross got single ,and a
double off Suddarth. Lieutenant Ham
son in center for the Fifth brought
the crowd to its feet in the sixth in
ming by a spectacular catch. This.
officer looks like Josh DeVoe of the
New York Giants in action, and while
not a big Lacquer, the lieutenant is
a natural ballplayer, take; it from me,
Horatio. 49, ~
Eliminating the work of the UNI
pires and that one play of Cross IN
center field, when he had a chance to
make an easy, double, the game was
well played and full of interest. But
lit seems to the writer that some
training should be given to the UNI
pires, if baseball Is to carry it's usual
interest at Schofield
Following is the score:
