- Twenty-fifth Infantry II, Asahis q.
The one good feature of yesterday S
alleged baseball game between the col
oTed soldiers and the Japanese was
that IL started several minutes ahead
Il schedule time To nullify this com
'pendable promptitude, however, il
lasted longer than the law allowed,
and was wretcbed exhibition Of the
national game by both teams. For
bonehead plays, sloppy fielding and
general tiresomeness II set a record
which il is to be hoped will not be
even approached during the season.
The error column on both sides of
the score book carries record that
would be a disgrace TO any grammar
school team, and at that. only the err
/ rors of handwork appear. The errors
Of headwork can only be realized by
those who paid their good money at
the gate, and very fair Sunday
crowd contributed
The soldiers started off bravely By
collecting four hits and three runs of
r. Moriyama, who had very little on
the bah throughout the game. Only
enc error and a passed ball helped
the colored players to cross the plate
in this frame. and they laid down a
couple OF classy hunts which the run
pers beat out. In the second three
errors and a two-bagger accounted for
another brace OF scores, and in the
third more bungles and a bingle
brought in one run.
The Asahis were banked until the
fourth, when they got Pitcher Smith s
goat to such an extent that he was
benched in favor of Jaspar, after three
runs had been scored, with only one
out. G.. Moriyama hunted safely and
stole second, but was out at the plate
when he tried to come home on Yama-
shiro's hit TO left. The latter took
third on a balk. T. Moriyama got
safely to firstcon the ffelder's choice
which failed to nail YamRshiro at tho
plate pyeno famed and Mpriyarna
stole second. When he was almost

half trying. BY that time Mr.. Smith
was running circles round the box,
end Jasper relieved him.. Nishi was
safe on an error that let onoda in,
hut Arali was out, short to first, end
ing the agony.
In the very next frame the Asahis
got three more men across, tieing the
score. three errors and a double doing
the trick. From then on Jasper tight
ened up, allowing only two more hits
and one run. and striking out eleven
in the FIVE and one.third innings which
he pitched.
The Asahis blew up again in the
sixth, single. three errors and sac
rifice fly accounting for three runs.
Two of these bangles were charged
against Noda. who went in to play
filst in the fifth, and who was SO lame
he could hardly walk Single runs in
the eighth and ninth cinched the game
for the soldiers, and allowed the long
suffering fans to escape.
There were one or two sensational
fielding stunts, Swinton making a
great running catch and doubling a
man at second in the first. and Yama-
shire picking one on the fence in the
fifth. Nisho managed to catch the
full game without being laid out,
Which is a record for him.
