SCOFIELD BARRACKS, April %.
The opening game Sunday was the
first contest between two big teams
in the Twenty-fifth series. E COM
pany put 1t over A company by bat
ting rally that carried the game into
an extra inning when A company
supposed the game was safely theirs.
n shift In the A company line was re-
sponsible. They have man named
Smith who is a very classy first base
man but he aspires to play shortstop
and he can't play 1t little bit. There
is no assurance that the man who
might have played the position would
have done any more than Smith did,
with Amos hit in the seventh, but it's
cinch he couldn't have done any
worse, and the chances are in his
favor. A company played bet
ter ball, showed more generalship
and the game should have been theirs
They were three runs to the good
when E Company came to the bat in
the seventh. Jasper had pitched g.
good game, Fletcher was pegging to
bases like a big Lacquer and every
thing was lovely. e company sent
first to the bat new man, Prather,
as pinch hitter, and in this man the
Twenty-fifth has found q real pinch
hitter. He laid down pretty hit.
Weterhouse followed with another
clean hit, Prather being held at sec

per; Cullen. who followed, made the
correct effort If he didn't pull it off,
He tried to hunt on three pitches and
failing on the third was out. Jasper
is the slowest fielding pitcher in the
regiment, partly because he is natur-
ally slow and partly because he has
game leg, but these two important
facts never dawned on whoever was
managing the E Company team until
Cullens tried in this inning. Jasper
famed the next man. For the A Com
,iany team in the eighth, Warehouse
famed Fletcher with three pitched
halls. and had two strikes on Jasper

long run from left, pulled down out

year without any exception. Lewis

base. Then Prather, the pinch hitter.
came to the bat the second time and
established his reputation by slam
ming the ball to the far right field,
too deep for Ramsey to negotiate, and
brought Bowen across the plate for
the winning run. The pitching of Wa
terhouse was fine; he famed ten and
had four other assists. Williams al
lowed Warehouse to put on more
speed than usual but while he was do
ing his best, base stealing on him was
easy.
1t was because they were such dubs
at batting that E Company deserved
to lose the game. Not an E Company
man in the entire game attempted to
wait out Jasper, and in consequence
he probably had to pitch about half
as many balls as Waterhouse. A
company was fielding right up to the
handle, getting everything, yet E Com
pany batsmen came to the bat, time
after time and obligingly knocked the
ball to some waiting fielder. Smith
| played the batting feature of the game
with a long home run and two
singles in four attempts. Mitcham
played a splendid game on first but
1t will be safer to dispense with his
services there and reinstate Smith
than to trust the latter on short.
In the second game, c Company,
having man on sick report and two
others recovering from victories in
the boxing contests of the night be-

game, this game was decidedly slow.
