ARMY CAPTURES
BRILLIANT CONTEST
FROM THE M|DD|ES
Strategy Wins for West
Point in Nerve-Shatter-
ing Ninth Inning.

ANNAPOLIS, June 2-More strategic
playing on the part of the Army base
ball team Is the reason given today for
their victiry by one run yesterday over
the Naval Academy nine. Score, s to Z.
1t was a game that bristled with hair
raising incidents that kept the great
throng of spectators keyed up to a high
pitch of excitement all the time, and,
altogether, 1t was the most sensational
contest ever furnished by the teams Of
the rival Government institutions. This
was the eleventh game OF the series, and
the victory gives Army eight against
three for the Navy.
The Cadets were the favorite among
most of the followers of the national
game, who view this particular contest
from a sporting standpoint, and the
closeness Of the score. therefore. was
something of a surprise TO many. 1t
was a game wherein Uncle Sans en-
bryo admirals did wonderful work in
many respects, but the future generals
went them one better.
Many Of the Army adherents became
disspirited when. in the first two in
nings the Middies had registered a trio
OF runs, against none for the Army, but
whatever may have been the effect of
this sudden squirt on the part Of the
Middies, 1t only served to make the
outburst of Joy among the Army people
double greater when the last Navy man
was retired In the ninth inning. and
they fully realized that the Soldiers had
tucked away in their blankets a clean
cut victory by the narrow margin Of
one run.
See-Saw From Start.
The teams fought for all that was in
them from start to finish, neither letting
their hopes and condolences lessen to
the slightest degree when the other
was ahead. for it was a game of the
see-saw order. On the other hand, they
kept plugging away with added de-
termination as they went to bat in each
succeeding inning. But the Soldiers used
greater strategy In playing the game
than did the Middies, and 1t was large,
ly through their sudden change Of tac-
tics In the two final sessions that they
were able to win. In the early stages

on a roller to Stovall, and Milan slapped
a fast one at Pratt.
The Brownie second sacker got the
ball, and trying to get Moeller at the
pan hurled the pill to the stand. Milan

Hamilton was still on the Job, however.
and the next two sluggers died. Ray
Morgans jealousy accounted for another
tally in the eighth. The Baltimore youth

The ninth inning, played under threat

thunder and the flashing of lightning,
saw the Nationals cop three more, get
ting to friend Hamilton in no uncertain
manner Moeller commenced by beating
a slow roller to Wallace. Foster burnt
a single to left. and Mlinal filled the
corners when he beat out a neat bunt
in front of the pan. Gandtl shot torrid

out Mcbride, Milan hustled across the
plate.
though they did manage to collect a
trio Of tallies during the muggy after
noon. In the sixth Laport crashed a
double to the, left field bleachers,
the midway. Morgan could not get
Pratt's blow because It hoped right
over his dome and Laporte rushed over
while Austin was forcing Pratt.
The eighth saw the Brownies really
hghting for a chance to do something
and getting along pretty we'll too.
Even the pop boys were shouting for
runs and more runs and so the Brown
les collared two. stovall singled to
fast fielding. Gandi seized Laporte's
hard drive and flashed It to Mcbride,
forcing Stovall.
Scored on the Death.
Pratt, who is a regular player in this
league, bent a two spot to right, putting
| Laport on third. The fans were shout
ing for Austin to hit a homer before
the rain would tumble down, but the
best he could do was to roll one TO
Morgan and perish, though Laporte

To begin the fun. Moeller laid down a
tender sprout toward third that neither
Austin Nelson nor Krichell could reach
in time. On the hit and run he galloped
to third when Foster shot a safety to
right. He tailed on Milan's slashing
drive to center. Foster followed him
over when Gandil spanked a single to
right. That settled the fate Of the Vi
king, and Hamilton, though he walked
Shanks and filled the corners, managed
to dispose of Morgan and Mcbride with
out another run coming over.
This Hamilton person pitched excel
