scHoFiELD BARRACKS LEAGUE.
SUNDAYS GAME.
LIST infantry IS, 4th Cavalry 0.

After a sorry exhibition of the ma
tional game in which their pitchers
had been batted to all quarters of the
field for sixteen hits, the Cavalry
threw up the sponge in the seventh
inning to clear the way for the 25th-
p. A. c. game. Neither Ronowski
nor Cakes were able to stop the
heavy hitters Of the Infantry team,
and assisted by eleven errors distrib-
uted pretty evenly over the Cavalry
team, the game went to the 1st In
fantry team by a score of is to 0. The
|Infantrymen. were fine in all, depart
ments of the game, the old reliable
judd, the only player in the league
until today with a perfect fielding
record, gave one of the two errors
against them Mason M. came out Of
hospital to catch the game and he
marked his return to duty by smuggling
cut, FIVE hits in FIVE appearances.
Strovosh was in fine form and was
found for one lone hit in the first
inning.
The big batting bee has rushed the
1st Infantry up the percentage column
for team averages from .235 to 265
and they are but OPS behind the lead
ers now, The final 1st Infantry-25th
Infantry game on next Saturday
promises to be the game of the Sc
ries. The team sent a wireless to
Colonel McGunnegle on the Mongolia
10 tell him of the victory.
Saturdays Game.
18th infantry Z, 1st field artillery 8.
The 25th infantry met the artillery
en- the infantry diamond yesterday for
the last time in the present series and
took the game easily by score Of
IL to 8. Notwithstanding the large
number of hits made by both teams,
13 by the infantry and by the artil-
lery. the game was full of interest.
Murcherson pitched fine game
otter bad start and until the ninth
inning held the wagon soldiers to four
scattered hits. In the first Mckay
worked his elbow effectively as usual
and drew a walk, after fouling a
dozen times, Curran was passed.
Miller, the new shortstop, laid down
a beautiful bunt, advancing both run
ners base apiece on the sacrifice.
Grey then hit long sacrifice fly to
Hollingsworth, scoring both runners.
From here on Murcherson frightened
and while the wagon soldiers kept
tapping the ball pretty freely, the
fielding of the infantry aided by the
superb fielding of his own position
by Murcherson, retired the artillery in
speedy order. In the ninth, the artil-
lery made a series. Of fine hits, scor-
ing their last run. Kent hit to deep
left for what looked like a home run,
but fine relay by Ramsey and VIII
hanson to Cross at the plate and a
very close decision lost the play to
the artillery. Nero gave the decision
in good faith, but the 25th is almost
unanimous in declaring that Cross
did not tag the artillery captain. The
game was filled with brilliant fielding
plays on both sides. Kent covered
acres of ground at center and by fleet
travelling and fine judgment took four
hard chances. Yeselshi made q SUI
perb catch Of SCOTS high twisting
foul Williamson, Collins and Willis
made spectacular stops and catches
of line drives. Collins retrieved
Scott's error In the latter's attempt
to take fly and catch base runner
in one motion and caught NICK at
second on a quick peg for force
Murcherson's two singles in thfC
times up puts him ahead of all the
other pitchers in the post in batting.
Nero and Ronowski gave general sat.
isfaction as umpIres.
