SCHoFIELD BARRACKS Nov. 90
Yesterday was gala day at Scho-
field. About noon an order came from
headquarters snspending all duties for
the afternoon except the necessary
guard and fatigue. and brought happi-
ness to many Of the officers and men
who otherwise would nave been un-
able TO see the opening game Of the
Venice Tigers The stands we're in
sufficient to accommodate the thous-
ands from the post and the hundreds
from Honolulu who found their way
to the Schofield bail park and half
an hour before the game was called a
long line In front OF the ticket Office
was turned away.
There was great ceremony and wild
pandemonium attending the arrival OF
both teams, and much interest was
taken In the Venice Tigers exhibition
OF shadow ball which preceded the
game.
The game started out with a big
furry for the Tigers. The 25th In
fantry players had an attack Of stage
fright, and II locked as II Willis would
be knocked right out Of the box, but
the three runs made in the first half
of the first inning were the only scores
OF the entire game Though the tt.
gers played errorless bali and never
gave the soldiers lookin, It cannot
be said that they over-exerted them
selves All things considered, the
25fh must be given credit for putting
up very good showing, and Willis
especially for holding such formid-
able aggregation to four hits, and this
In spite OF somewhat erratic sup
port that he received. The big In
fantry regiment has money TO put up
that mo other pitcher will equal this
record in the Venice series.
Scott. the famous White Sox pitch
er, was too much for the local bats
men, He struck out Is and allowed
but six balls 20 be knocked beyond
the infield He did not shoy his real
strength until the last inning when the
three top men Of the 18th Infantry
batting order faced him and not one
OF them got even foul tip.
