FORT SKATER. Sept. 25.-The
second game Saturday was an equally
exciting contest between NJ Company,
End Infantry, and G Company of the
same organization, and again 1t was
a combination of fumbles and lucky
grouping OF the hits In the ninth raj
ly that won the game for VI Company
another instance of the Shafter
lucky ninth. Each team made two hits
in the third and duplicated this in the
eighth, while NJ Company secured a
slight advantage with another tally
of one in the fifth, so that the score
until the ninth stood 5 to 4, but in the
last square DuEre cracked a Texas
Lacquer over second and an error of
Bryant advanced him to the halfway
house. Minty skied out to second,
Medina scored Dupre with a sizZler
through shortstop and then came the
triple from Spisak's bat which tailed
Medina and passed ball by Johnson
let Spisak slide over the rubber for a
total of three hts, and an equal num-
Der of runs, which ended the game,
leaving the total s to 4 in favor Of NJ
Company Both pitchers did very
well, although Sweeney was much
more difficult to hit, only three clean
hits being made from his curves and
twisters, but he was not so accurate.
Sweeney gave four free passes. while
Brown gave none, and Brown hit one
man and Sweeney had no such bad
luck. Brown struck out eight bats
men while Sweeney surpassed his
record by only one. ....
M Company played a good mental
game today, more clever fielding than
is usual Five errors, and two of these
due to the shortstop playing in new
position, and tie batting of the team
was cleaner and the hits were
punched better. Dupre, the catcher,
was up to his usual excellent stand
ard, and gave Sweeney splendid sup
port with no errors and 10 putouts;
little harder straight swinging at the
ball will prevent so many short flies.
and increase thu scoring in the earlier
parts of the games. G Company
tried hard enough, but as they have
not been. in action recently as team,
they lacked that get-togetherl spirit,
but little work on the lot will RENE
dy that. -s@..>@s ........
The catch OF Dias in the ninth, and
that the last ball, batted way back in
deep center which caused him to lose
his balance, for Bryant had hit it with
lots of power, was a wonder. and the
gamey centerfielder received the APP
plause he we'll deserved.
