quartermaster corps at SchOfield, but
formerly the star third -baseman OF the
LIST infantry in the days at that post
when the LIST swept the diamond
Byrne has expressed a desire to make
position on the team and the man
agement will go as far, probably, a.
TO get him. He is in good shape and
has been playing bail recently as
manager-captain Of the Independentia:

Cunningham services are highly i'm
portant in connection with the bali
team of his battery in the series that
is now on at Schofield between the
batteries of the 1st field. However
Cunningham will in all probability
come down later when the troops

magnitude but will have to go some

position. Willis may, however, be
called upon in the series at hand to
go in as pitcher. as Lawson's relief.
and in that event the wagon soldie!
will be a much-needed player.

feel that the raw edges were fairly
smoothed off in the three games with
Sammy Hops people and that they

Lieutenant O'Hara and Lieutenant
Lyman, the managers, will give their
men plenty of practice and careful
coaching is a certainty and both of
these officers have expressed them
