crate terms of the great eleven in
ming fracas that was staged on Sol
diers' Field Saturday afternoon be-
tween the cadets and Massey, Of Pu-
laski. A prettier exhibition Of first
class baseball no one could ask for.
It was one of those sizzling, rafting,
jambup affairs, replete with beautiful
pitching, fine head work, good field
ing, and checked as full of good ball
as can be seen on any diamond, pro-
fessional or amateur. 1t was pity
that time had to be called with the
score a tie, in order that the visitors
might catch the train home. It would
have been interesting to know which
side would finally have emerged win
ner in this magnificent game. AS it
was, the honors were easy and there
was glory enough for both.
The cadets played a beautiful
game. Few were the errors or mis-
takes that they made. They were
there every moment Of the game, pull
ing off the kind of stuff one would
look for among professionals. In
Green they turned up player of ex-
ceptional ability. If he could bat like
he can field, he's good for a ticket to
the professionals any time that he
wants to 60. Some of his stops Sat
urday would have been difficult even
for shortstops in some Of the leagues
One time he went way over behind
third, pulled fast skinner out of the
grass, and got the man at first by q
foot. He is fast as shot and has
an arm that shoots the ball like II
were an arrow.
| Massey had a slight advantage In
hitting, as they poled eight safeties
off of Minor, while the cadets only go'
six off Baxter. Each had one two
sacker to their credit. Minor though
struck out eleven to Bakers nine
Up until the eighth, the score stoot

about the relative ratio that it woult

pitchers were setting them down one

down in that frame, Parson, Of Mas

which Green relayed perfectly to Gal
