pitcher depends entirely upon the
number OF strike-outs he can make In
game Murchison will not always
measure up TO these standards-that
is, win his games by fannins-but
there isn't pitcher in the post whom

The old man was there with the
goods to fool the opposing team ana
that is all there is to il. Barring
the opening inning he held up the
Artillerymen like highwayman.
The first man up for the wagon

fouls and before he had a chance

hunted to Murchison who grabbed
the ball with bunch Of red dirt,
decided he was too late to make the
out at second and waved his hand
toward first and the ball and the
dirt went fifteen feet wide, Kent ad-
vanced both runners a base apiece
on his sacrifice and both scored on
Curran's hot one to right. Jacobs hit
to Collins on second, who easily
caught Kent at second and in the
hurry to make the double, Smith
dropped the throw from Williamson
Jacobs tried to steal but was caught
by Swinton's fine peg. The only other
Artillery run came in the fifth. Little
Memo, as the fans call Nemecek, the
diminutive first sacker for the Artll-
lery team, hit a beautiful swat to
right but hung on first while Pastori
was tanning and Grey getting him.

too hot for any infielder to handle.
On this hit Nemecek crossed the rub
Der for the final run. The sixth in
ming put Murchison on his mettle,
for with two out both Pastori and
Grey hit safely, the fleet little Artil-
lery shortstop taking third on the
last hit. Now these are conditions
to worry any pitcher, for Pastori with
half chance, will steal base any

threw three balls, then grinned to
show his teeth back to the left
molar and threw as pretty strikes
as the most fastidious batter could
ask for And there were none of
them called, each of the three was
swung at. Murcheison passed one
aud allowed one hit in the first, one
genuine hit and one of the scratch
variety in the fifth and two in the
seventh; none for more than one
sack and famed six Swinton behind
the bat caught great game, special
izing on high flies and the enc he
nabbed in the fourth nearly required
a back flip to get it.
At the bat for the Twenty-fifth,
Hollingsworth shone again and his
double in the first carried two runs
with it and his triple in the following
inning put him where the next Ar
tillery error brought him home for
another tally. Jamison in the fourth
made long fast double but he care
lessly forgot to touch first in passing
and was out on the return of the
ball to the infield.
Grey, on the mound for the Artil-
lery, had a hard day. When he could
get EN- over his high ball was pretty
effective but for a while it looked as
if he never could git 'em over At the
opening he issued three passes and
then threw in three wild pitches just
to show how wild he can be when
he tries. He contributed another pass
in the second and put Green out of
the game in the seventh by hitting
him, Parker replaced Green to run
for him and with two out and the
Twenty-fifth only one to the good,
the signal came to steal and steal he
did like a little man. Smith had
wasted his second strike TO help him.
The signal for a second steal was
flashed to i'arker and the batter,
and with Parker on the fly Smith
hit into the prettiest hit of the day
and scored the run. An important
factor in this play and--in- many an
other plays of the day was Pasper's
/ coaching for the Twenty-fifth on
third. This seems neglected art on
most OF the post teams. The crowd
was just JAM wildly enthusiastic,
and ready to cheer a good play by
either side. The umpiring by Sergeant
EFernendez of the Fourth Cavalry and
Corporal Monahan of the First In
fantry was of high order.
The games for the coming week
include the Cavalry-Artillery game on
the Cavalry diamond for Saturday
and the First and Twenty-fifth In
fantry match on Sunday
Saturdays game will be followed
by a game between the officers of
the Artillery Coast Defense posts
and Fort Shafter and the team made
1 up of officers of Schofield Barracks.
