Especial Star-Bulletin Correspondence
SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Aug. 25.
The cavalry experienced its third
successive defeat yesterday, by sur
rendering the game to the list infantry
team, which scored a 5-to-1 win.
The post fans had a chance to COM
part the work of the two twirlers who
have recently come to the front with
unexpected form, and there is no
doubt which pitcher proved himself
the better. Up to the second out in
the seventh, the cavalry had been un-
able to find Strovoski for even
scratch hit, and in the entire nine
innings he allowed but three hits.
But for an unfortunate passed ball
by Mason, in the eighth, he would
Rave drawn a shutout, for Dowd, who
later scored, would probably have
been held at second and he could
hardly have scored from that base on
Ronowski's SINGLE 1t is impossible
for the spectator to know which of the
infantry bJttery is responsible for
tie heady work of the day, but some
one was using his top piece all the
time, notably so in the sixth, when,
with two on and Ronowskf up, the
cavalry pitcher was purposely walked
to bring the weak batter to the bat.
This was certainly big league stuff.
There was absolutely no let-up to the
infantry stick work. and while but
two of their runs were clearly earned,
they. continually had men on base
from handy hits. The two infantry.
men, Thrasher and Heaton, never
were more dangerous. The. cavalry
team was greatly handicapped by the
absence of Gramith and Fitzgerald,
their only strong batters.
The cavalry lineup was nothing but
patchwork, but they died gamely. The.
absence of the men weakened the
fielding game also, and at least four
of the costly errors would have been
eliminated. 1t will be pity for the
cavalry to lose the services of these
two good men as rumor says they
may for they need but one more
game to cinch second place which the
teams good work this season should
entitle them. Any let up now with the
two trailing teams going as they are
at present win be fatal to the cavalry
chances. A battery like Ronowsh and
Donaldson should be supported to the
last game and it. will be a severe re-
Election OF the cavalry sporting spirit
if this support is not forthcoming.

Twenty-fifth Infantry IL. First
Field Artillery O.
Before crowd that for size and
lung capacity was record breaker,
the Schofield Barracks pennant win
ners handily disposed of the re-
enforced Field Artillery team in a
shutout game. The nervousness
teams at the start doubtless came
from the great excitement of the
crowd, which was out in force to see
the new players, and while the Infan-
trymen recovered in the third inning,
the Artillery were erected through
out the game.
Playing before a strange audience,
made up largely of the newly-arrived
battalion of their regiment, the old
veterans in the Artillery lineup COM
mitted many unexpected misplays,
and it is due to the errors of these |
old men rather than to the playing
of the newcomers, that the size of the
score grew as inning followed inning.
The game was the Infantrymen's any
way, for they have never played bet
ter ball, and seemed an entirely diff
ferent team from the bunch that |
played in trance against the Cav
airy last Tuesday. Jasper, whom the |
post fans are coming to regard as the
premier twirler of the garrison, was
on the mound for the Twenty-ffth, /
and he has never shown finer form.
The support of his teammates was |
enough to cheer the heart and tighten |
the pitching strength of any pitcher
for by inning after inning of brilliant |
fielding play they never put him in a
hole for a minute.
