cl nRE is. A. M. {. z.

The second game, that between the
Globe and the A. M. E., was looked
forward TO with much interest as all
of the other teams were anxious 10
see the strong A. M. E. aggregation
stopped They had not lost q game
during the season, and when the GioDe
team went into the contest determined
to defeat them, 1t was evident from
the outset that the contest would pc
tonight stubbornly; in the first round
neither team scored, but in the second
both were able to put two across, ow-
ing to a few errors and some oppor-
tune batting.
The pitchers started out at terri
fic dip with Vincent for the Globe ana
Calhoun for the A. M. K. TO look al
the two men from a physical point OF
view it would have appeared that Cal
houn ought to outpitch his rival, out
in this case, as in many others, size
was not all that counted. Both pitch
ers delivered high-class article Oh
hall. but Vincent had the better OF the
article. The feeling of both teams
was cratic at times, but they soon
rallied and continued the aggressive
fight.
Robinson was a tower Of strength
| to the Globe team, when these breaks
would occur, and 1t was largely due
to his generalship that the A. M. r.
team was vanquished. On several oc
casions when Vincent would show
signs of wabbling, or when some mem
Der Of the team would make a Oao
move on the field, Capt. Robinson
would gently call his men to time ano
steady them down.
The value of a steady catcher was
proven in this instance, and In th'
fourth inning with a score standing
to 2, a couple of errors by Crawley or
4 first base and two or three hits II
succession brought in three runs fol
the A. M. E., which put the score
to 7. Calhoun was going well ana Ms
team was giving him excellent support
The A. M. e. annexed another II
the 9th and 9TH, while the Globe
failed TO score, but in the eight inning
II they met their Waterloo. Capt. ROD
inson put the Globe team to playlns
inside baseball and while 1t may ap
near to some that the A. M. Il. wa'
playing bad ball, it was only that the
| Globe was playing good ball, ana Whei
the smoke of battle was cleared away
I'VE runs had been scored. 1t wa
then the final test came. A. M. h. wal
determined to overcome the lead, bu
Robinson held the team steady ant
kept Vincent going well, and Try a
they would the A. M. e. could not pu
man across. In the ninth the GloD
scored three more runs, making Tn
score Is to Z as it stood when IN
game ended.
The class of ball clubs by the team
Monday was not professional, but
was of class to merit the apprecia
ton of the sportloving public. Man
of these boys had never played O
fast diamond, which accounted
a measure, for some Of their mistakes
but be that as it may 1t must be ao
mitted that every man On eacn t"al
: conducted himself in a gentleman
way and showed the true spirit G
craftsmanship, and while some error
were made, they we're Offset by carr
estness with which the men wer
about the sport 1t is this one thin
that the Capital City League ofhcia
set out to build up in thu, city as
was clearly realized that the Peep
were anxious for clean baseball the
OF course wanted to see good baseba
and preferred professional baseball
but Mondays interest showed tn
they are willing to support the your

The boisterous spirit that hi
