SOLDIERS TROUNCE C, & AS IN RATHER
 LISTLESS CONTEST
22nd. Infantry Team Gets Away With 5 to l Win; Record Crowd Sees Grays Hand Visitors HoI- low Victory.

The biggest crowd Of the season at- tended Sunday afternoons game at Warren Park. seeing the c. & A. taste defeat Co the extent of 6 Co 1 sc.. back. With the weather conditions the most favorable which have yet greeted the diamond lads. the fgns turned out with the expectation of seeing a really firstclass article of ball They were therefore. a bit dis appointed to see the home team fall down at important stages and literal ly present the game to the 22nd In- iantry soldiers
 Adkerson toed the rubber for tho losers and his characteristic weakness was in evidence throughout the hos tlities. In other words the newcomer from the sun-kissed climes of South em California was extremely unstea. dy. In justice to this youthful heaver. however. it should be stated at the start that he was constantly and con- eistenuy handicapped by miserable support--a support Of a type which did not always show itself in a way which could be charged up in the CT. TOT column, but often of a purely sim on-pure, patent-applied-for ivory dome variety As in other games on the local grounds, in which various teams have been the culprits. the chief desire and instant thought of the Grays was to heave the ball some where. 1t did not make so much dii ference where. The idea seemed to be 10 get the pin away and SO it was kept flying promiscuously about. and this may explain why the Grays are not charged with more errors. Often times there are errors Of the mental variety which become impossible to catalogue
 So the young pitcher should not have to bear too much ceusure. With the backing he received. he looked rather weak. but with strong support his work would have been at least mediocre
 The Grays were piumlly weak at first base Don Alleh gave an evhibi- tion Of baseball SO deplorably weak that it would certainly seem that some change might well be made as regards this important position. Five errors are charged to him and they wc.u al Of the sort which helped the visitors a whole ot When a first bascman drops three or more in a row which are extremely easy chances. then it looks that the time had come for change. It is little wonder that. the 'anvil chorus" got busy with will, directing a battery of mournfuI sounds in the direction of the Gray's first-sacker
 The distressing weakness of the home team at the bat is illustrated by the fact that of their five safeties. three. a double and two singles were negotiated by one player. namely Champion. This same player perform ed very acceptably at short, accepting his five chances. four assists and one putout in perfect manner.
 Snyder of the locals could dc notb- ing with the stick but took nine lcld- ing chances without @ slip. the score showing seven putouts and two as- sists to his credit. E, JeucK and JoI- dan played well in the haLi. while Anheier, who by the way, is now cap- tain of the team played his usua, strong game behind the willow. lie also hit the ball hard but the leather went always into the hands Of g wait ing fielder
 Evidently the soldier management did not hold the batting power of the
