SCHOFIELD BARRACKS. Nov 90.
The 25th Infantry is rightly indtg.
nant at the attitude OF the other Fegi-
ments at Schofield toward the 18th In
fantry baseball team. This team ex.
ciusiyely.. has furnished the garrison
amusement in the way of classy base
ball games since the close Of the Army
League, bringing to Schofield the best
teams that Honolulu affords, often re,
curing such large guarantees that the
gate receipts were not sufficient to-
pay expenses. Even during the Army
League series IL was the 25th Infantry
games that drew the crowds, and more
than so per cent of those who paid
admission were from the 18th Infantry.
The agreement between the four
regiments at Schofield was that the
regimental team that stood highest in
the Army League should represent the
garrison in the post season games
with the teams of the Oahu League
and Venice Tigers. g..

racks, received support or even eour'
teous treatment from the baseball fans
Of the three other regiments? Decided
ly no. They have punched together in
the bleachers along the third-base line.
and rooted their heads off for any and
every team that has opposed the 18th.
II has not been that clean, wholesome
roofing that appiauds good baseball,
independent Of partisanship or at
tempts to make the visiting team feel
welcome. The roofing and remarks
from the east bleachers has often
shown antagonism and jealousy and q
strong tendency to belittle the 25th
Infantry team, which is, without doubt,
one of the very best in the army.
No wonder the 18th Infantry Is con.
templating having baseball park of
their own where they can have their
games without this unsportsmanlike
annoyance.
It is true that tho 25th Infantry has
gained monopoly On outside baseball,
crowding out the other regiments, but
the 18th Infantry deserves all that 1t
has attained The team has received
better support from the officers and
men than any other regfmental team.
They have been given more time to
practise and better opportunities for
: developing first-class team. II Is a
conservative statement to make that
the other three regiments could not at
present get up team tina. could In
any way compare with that Of the 18th
Infantry
All other questions aside, the agree
ment made before the Army League
series has made the 25th Infantry
team the representative team Of Scho-
field, and as such they should receive
Schofield's support.
