SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, May g.
Fully 5000 Schofield Barracks fans
we're treated to as snappy game OF
ball yesterday as any OF them could
wish to witness. and though the score
couldn't satisfy all of them they were
united about the quality or the game.
The Fourth Cavalry were the hosts
on their own diamond, and while the
visiting Twenty-fifth Infantry team
carried OF the victory the Cavalry are
jubilant even in defeat, for they know
that they have a-team that VIII make
any other team IN the garrison sit up
and take notice. If the result Of Sat
urday's game hasn't shown up as q
joker the fan who started the story
that the series will end N an infantry
walkover, today's game should make
him quit talking forever. The Twenty
fifth has been playing games OF ball
as a unit for about three months,
while the Cavalry have been playing
together about the same number OF
weeks and have had but two games.
The score of to 2 in yesterdays
game does not tell the relative
strength of the two teams for the Cav
airy with their present strength and
training should be rated higher.
The Cavalry offered very fast In
field yesterday and when Sergeant De
Swan recovered from his broken hand
and is playing at short or second base
1t will challenge comparison with any
infield in the garrison They gave
their pitchers fine support and the
score sheet shows but two fielding err
rors and only one of these was costly.
The outfield had little to do, but De
Swans shOestring catch OF Swimton's
drive to right was peach. And when
it comes to a battery this Cavalry
team Is there. Rownoski, who recent
ly moved down from the Artillery can
Torment, caught his usual brilliant
game, and the way he pegged to Sec
ond and caught Scott ten feet on the
base-and Scott had nice start
shows how dangerous catcher he is
for would-be base pilferers.
Cakes started the game in the box
for the cavalry and it is to be ques-
toned if it was really necessary to
pull him in the eighth inning and sub
stitute Mathews. He had good con-
troll, fooling the Twenty-fifth again
and again on fast high ball but the
hits on his delivery came in punches
and the Twenty-fifth won on these
hits. When he opened the fourth he
had famed five of the ten men who
had faced him and had allowed but
one hit Willis, the first infantryman
to face him in this inning, found him
ON the first ball pitched for singing

hunted and made first. Then Cakes
troubles began in earnest. The Twen-

and had Cakes in a hole with three
balls. He then applied his knowledge |

fine frenzy by giving his bat beauti-
