FORT SKATER, Aug. 1.-THE
only company in the post that did not
seem to miss the 32nd Infantry today
was / Company of the End Infantry,
and the way they went after the En-
gneers in ball game this p. NJ.
showed a lack OF regret that was pa
thetic for the Engineers.
The new c Company of the intel
lectual corps" was badly mixed, due
to a change of company, and il did not
display the yigor and vim of Com
pany, Engineers, albeit most of the
faces were very familiar. The game
was a snappy, rappy one, and was
surrendered by the Engineers to
Company of the Infantry to the tune
CTS to because the Engineers liked
Company's name-old recollections!
knight of | Company sharpshooters
was al his best, not only on the mound
but also with the willow, as he cracked
out homer to show "Blondy" Will
ans the way l2inch projectfle
sounds at Fort Kruger these Gays; but
not satisfied with that unusual feat
OF skill, he hit the ball in the eighth
and lost it in the subway" near the
rice patches of deep rightfield and
they lookedsfor the ball all night with
lanterns. III. =. ~..<. :
There were numerous bootlets,
bingles and bungles amounting to:two
tingent and four errors for +, the
mixers" but there were three circus
plays as well. MeGaVin in the first
played an absolutely faultless. bunt,
whIcn gave him the right Of way to
the initial sack: Corporal Rails in the
second inning made hair-raising
catch with his matt, but the ball
dlsppetl out l9l the glove while he had
| .bDili feet OFT the gE6hnd, and he re-
caught It with ms bare right hand
while the stands rocked with cheers,
etc, ETC., and, AMIN in the fifth inning
kleyejar on thlSd base made sensa.
tionai stop of hard drive, and fol-
lowed It With a perfect throw to the
FIRST bag More cheers! Stellar plays!
The reason the Engineers lost was
because :.Blondy" would get thinking
about The glories or being Tip top
man. in a company, and in the third
inn.ng for example he let / Company
have three hts He felt SO visionary
that when he did come back to earth
the balls he threw were equally high
minded, and he did like to make a
hat with at least three of the batters,
Both pitchers were about equal, how
ever, striking out each IA men and
each allowing six hits, and as the
errors sized up to 2, the batting of l
Company really won the game.
! The exhibition was an excellent one
to witness, but as it was not gener-
ally known that the game was to be
played, the att, :adance was small. But
the rooters were true to the core and
they applauded the sizzling hits and
. the three ring plays to the echo.
Knight really captured his own
game for with four times to the bat
efaedeo out two basehits and a
home pass, while Rails helped with g.
Ia. an1 sotAe excellent base running.
For the surveyors, McGavin- worked
himself to death with two clean-cut
hits and nifty work in front or the
CHIEF umpire. .,..~..#- 40 H.. !.
The series will continue and there
ought to be about rs games still on
tap to sunbuln9 the fans and tighten
their vocal instruments. -,...: : r.
