SCH0FIELD BARRACKS, April 81.
Friday saw the first appearance
for more than two weeks of the for
midable F Company team, and the
players celebrated the event by de-
feating C Company in a close and
interesting game. Considering the
fact that while other teams have
been playing five, four or three games
in the series to date, and gaining ex-
perience and practice, while F Com
pany, because of the arrangement Of
the schedule and because OF the
postponement of game, has had no
chances, the game put up by this
team Friday shows this team to
be the most promising in the regi-
ment. Pearson, the old time first
baseman, was playing his old posi-
ton in form tnat challenges COM
parison with4any first baseman In the
regiment But the old veteran has
not his batting eye with him yet, for
In his four attempts at bat he famed
three times. 1t is only a matter or
time when he will be as dangerous
a batter as he was in past years. The
other first appearance was Reid, who
has been sick in hospital for some
weeks. He went behind the bat Fri
day and caught good game, hold
ing both Marcus and Murcherson in
fine shape. Having Reid to catc.h
released jackson for third base and
IN fielding this sack he surprised all
the fans, Jackson's pegs to bases are
Always fast and accurate but the way
he took fast balls OF the ground YES
terday shows that he has the MAX
-ings of fast third basefnan. The
weak spot at present in the F Com
pany Is Rush. Not that he doesn't
field in good form but he doesn't
know what to do with himself, the
runner or the sack when a runner
gets on second. He seems to have
the idea that to remain planted with
one foot on the base is the best posi-
ping. Some of the old players In
the company want to give Rush lit
tie private instruction. He showed
considerable headwork, however,
when, in the fifth, with two out, he
managed to get on first on fielder's
choice. Jackson was on third and
Jamison, a fast base runner, on sec
ond. Pearson, who had famed twice
already, followed and made two wild
swipes at the ball and failed to con-
meet F Company was one bare run
ahead. Rush drew the throw on
bluff to steal and lodging the ball
and the players his work 50 fascin-
ated the C Company team that he

the ball at distance until both Jack
son and Jamison had crossed the
home plate unobserved and he was
finally caught. Marcus, who opened
the game for F Company after fan
ming two in the fourth, lost his head
and three hits brought c Company
their two runs.
The C Company team demonstrate
ed that often little success Is
dangerous thing. This team played
a beautiful game the middle of the
week and they have evidently tired
themselves out by practicfng ever
since The team should bear in
mind that they have nine games to
play this month, more games than
has any other team in the regiment,
and it is up to them to go bit slow
on the practice if they do not wish
to overtrain. There is Cayson, the
recruit pitcher, who came off the
transport last Sunday and pitched
great ball on Tuesday, who is plain
Iy oyertrained; he shows it in his
fielding and base running. This man
Is c Company's greatest asset and If
they want to win games he must be
looked after. F Company is booked
for three games this week.
