SCHoFIELD BARRACKS, April II.
Because of the absence OF one bat
talon of the regiment on thrce-day
practice march, there was but one
game OF the regimentaf series played
on the Twenty.fifth Infantry diamond
yesterday. The rain fell heavily dur
ing the last three innings, but those
fans who didn't mind a wetting saw
very satisfactory game. B COM
pany's games in the schedule have
brought them against some OF the
stronger teams early In the series,
the regiment which are of about the
same strength. have had the good luck
TO begin the season with games with
weak teams. B Company lost today
In close game. where the element
of luck helped their opponents, and
this Is their fifth consecutive defeat.
But with the team playing its present
good game. Il viii not e last In the
league at the finish. Humphrey was
on the mound for B Company, and
while he allowed but i've we'll scat
tered hits, he hit Cloudy twice IN the
ribs and Cloudy evened matters by
scoring for each lift. Cullens made
some spectacular stops which he
spoiled by Wild throws to first. though
there Is some excuse for him, for the
ground was Z field of mud. He also
made a beautiful home run and as
pretty q double play as fans have
seen here this season Waterhouse.
who pitched for e Company, was not
up to FORM He Is handicapped con-
ssidera0iy in that he cannot let him
self out and show his great speed be-
cause Williams is not the man to
catch him. To catch Warehouse at
his best requires some catcher.
Neither Cross nor Jackson Of the regE
mental team are any too successful at
it. OF the catchers who have tried to
hold this big fellow when he Is steam
ing EN- over. Scott OF K Company has
proved the best.
In the second. B Company found
him at the start Proctor singled to
right and scored when Hodge let
Evans hit to left go through him.
Evans scored on Green's long double.
.Waterhouse only allowed one hit after
that, but he had several narrow 60.
capes with two on in each Of the In
nings after the second.
NeM Man for &.
The e Company lineup has been
greatly strensthaned b the arrival 0f
Green on the last transport. who held
down third base. Green has been
away from the regiment for SIX years.
and during most Of that time has
been playing professional ball. ON
GERS who knew the team IN those days
and are familiar with the men who
are playing now. say that he Is IN.
questionably the greatest player the
regiment ever had. In the old days
he played both short ard shird equally
we'll; he was safe batsman
splendid base steaier aud, what -
more valuable to team, has q base
ball head. There was considerable
curiosity among the old fans TO see II
he had gone back, but IL he could
llay as we'll as he did yesterday after
long voyage, he will be wonder
when he Is seasoned a bit. He had
no fielding chances yesterday, but he
touched up the ball IN each Of his
four chances and stole bases and drew
throws like veteran.
Strong as the e Company infield II,
as it played yesterday, there is Ques-
.tion in the minds OF the fans II It
could not be strengthened BY chang
ing Amos from second to first, and
Cloudy from first to second. Amos Is
shade the safer on first and Cloudy
with CuIIens to back him up, should
take care OF his territory very well.
CulIens is the one man to take the
throws to second anyway, and with
Amos longer reach he can rescue
many throw that's bit wide Of the
bag.
