SOLDIERS LOSE To THE MILLERs;
SKELETONS DEFEAT THE BAKERS
Another Defeat For the Army Players Leaves Them
Only Half Game in the Lead For the Pennant;
New Life For the Skeletons Results in Very
Snappy Play and Victory

league ball has advanced somewhat
with the renewed fighting spirit OF
the Skeletons.
Hill, the speedy pitcher of the
Millers, and it might be said that he
is the Ty Cobb of the fielding line OF
the league, has been signed up by the
Sheltons and he, with mustacho Del
gado, the new catcher of the team, and
second baseman Heffner, are surely
great help to the nine.
Eckstone, a Photographic parsonage
on the coaching line, did the slanung
business for the Bakers and did well
for his first appearance, although he
complained of sore arm. Only four
hits were made, although two were for
extra bases, but he was given sort OF
poor support by his teammates, who
succeeded in booting and otherwise
blotching up plays six separate and dis
tinct times.
Bakers Get Five BingIes.
Fisher, the artist of the bending
stuff for the winning team, grew
stronger with the innings. He allowed
the Bakers five bingles and famed nine
of the anxious ones One OF them,
however, he permitted to go to tlrst
on four balls and then a peculiar play
was pulled off for Harry Kane told
the runner he could have two bases
freely because Doering had let the ball
slip through his fingers.
The Bakers pulled off another OF
ming when Fisher and Lopez were put
out of the way. The double was pulled
off by Caro-, Armstrong and Thompson,
respectively, and was exactly similar
to the two which went that route Sun
day with the exception that the army
was in the place of Shrimp Briesh.
Fisher got to first on an error by Caro-
and when Lopez followed him, with a
swift one through short, Caro-, in all
his tall lankiness, scooped 1t up,
60 saT
second, tapping Fisher for an out and
hurrying it to Tommy Thompson, at
first. who beat Potts Lopez to the first
sack.
Bakers Score in the Fourth.
When the fourth inning arrived the
two teams ceased handing out zeros as
the Bakers eased a run over the home
plate. Two hits took part in the run
getting coupled with a neatly placed
sacrifice and an error. Thompson
started it off by getting to first by
CarO's error Armstrong sacrificed him
to second Doering scored him with
clean two Dagger, which went to cen
ter. Lyman followed Doering with
single, but the team was content with
one run.
Sheltons tie the score. Delgado, the
new catching acquisition to the team,
began it with a creditable two-bagger.
L win put the damper on things by
flying out, but the next up, CnanI sac
rificed old Del to third. An error neat
~ handled by Thompson gave Delgado
a chance to come home, which he took
advantage of and tied the score
Tanning three men right in success
sion and so retiring the side was the
feat of Fisher in the next inning when
the Bakers faced him Armstrong, first
up, went out with three strikes Doer-
ing went the same route with three
useless swings and Lyman did likewise.
1t was some feat
SheItOns Win in the Sixth.
The final runs of the game were
made by the SheltOns in the sixth in
ming, when two more of their players
made the circuit Hill singled through
second and Garfield, with his second
hit of the game, advanced him to sec
ond Eckstone heaved a wild one and
Hill made the first of the two runs
Garfield was not asleep on the bases
and when Caro- booted Tarango's
grounder he came over for the third
run of the game. Delgado finished
things for the Skeletons in the batting
line.
The score:
