After a sorry exhibition of the ma.
tional game in which their pitchers
had been bntted to all quarters of the
field for sixteen hits, the Cavalry
threw up the sponge in the seventh
inning to clear the way for the 25th-
p. A. c.. game. Neither Ronowski
nor Cakes were able to stop the
heavy .hitters Of the Infantry team,
and assisted by eleven errors distrib-
uted pretty EVENLY over the Cavalry

record, gave one of the two errors

hospital to catch the game and he
marked his return to duty by smuggling
out FIVE hits in five appearances.

Saturdays Game.
18th infantry Z. 1st field artillery 8.
The 25th infantry met the artillery
en- the infantry diamond yesterday for
the last time in the present series and
took the game easily by score of
to 8. notwithstanding the large
number of hits made by both teams,
IS by the infantry and 2 by the artil.
lery, the game was full of interest.
Murcherson pitched a fine game
sitter q bad start and until the ninth
inning held the wagon soldiers to four
scattered hits. In the first Mckay
worked his elbow effectively as usual
and drew walk, after fouling q
dozen times, Curran was passed,
Miller, the new shortstop, laid down
a beautiful bunt, advancing both run
ners a base apiece on the sacrifice.
Grey then hit a long sacrifice fly to
Hollingsworth, scoring both runners.
From here on Murcherson frightened
and while the wagon soldiers kept
tapping the ball pretty freely, the
fielding of the infantry aided by the
superb fielding of his own position
by Murcherson, retired the artillery in
speedy order. In the ninth, the artil-
slery made series of fine hits, scor-
ing their last run. Kent hit to deep
left for what looked like home run,
but fine relay by Ramsey and Viii
hanson to Cross at the plate and a
very close decision lost the play to
the artillery. Nero gave the decision
in good faith, but the 25th. is almost
unanimous in declaring that Cross
did not tag the artillery captain. The
game was filled with brilliant fielding
plays on both sides. Kent covered
acres of ground at center and by fleet
travelling and fine Judgment took four
hard chances. Yeselshi made a SUI
perb catch of SCOTS high twisting
foul Williamson, Collins and Willis
made spectacular stops and catches
of line drives Collins retrieved
SCOTS error in the latter's attempt
to take fly and catch base runner
in one motion and caught Mckay at
second on quick peg for force out.
Murcherson's two singles in three
times up puts him ahead of all the
other pitchers in the post in batting.
Nero and Ronowski gave general sat
isfaction as umpires.
