! SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, II. T.
Sept. 23.-The Cavalry went down to
defeat Sunday afternoon, and the
speedy foot soldiers of Colonel Nc
t Gunnegle did the trick, Z 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
ninger and his welltrained 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 its
learnestness, and the calm assurance
"Nothin' to it," from Cavalry and In
fantry rooters on either side of the
field, promised we'll 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 new outfielder named
Cross, and though he denied any ge-
nealogy with the famous Monty Cross
of the Athletics, still he has the in
stincts of the cld-time Mackman.
Hamilton substituted for Ferris at
second, and with these innovations
the game was on.
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
dictator, 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 SteinhaueT 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. ByFne- scooted
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

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
heap in the Infantry run-getting
and practically decided the contest.
Classy Sticking. TX -. r.. -.
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 Han
son in center for the Fifth brought
the crowd to it's 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 big Lacquer, the lieutenant is
a natural ballplayer, take it from me,
Horatio.
Eliminating the work of the UNI
pires and that one play of Cross in
center field, when he had a chance ito
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, il. baseball is to carry it's usual
interest at Schofield. T..
Following is the score:
