Mr., Arcia's bunch of prospective
tourists paid their last call at the post
lark today and were again trounced
by the 25th Infantry II was an en-
tirely different game from what the
score indicated. The visitors felt they
were beaten before the game began
and lacked the spirit that has always
characterized the team heretofore.
Probably ii was because Henry Chill
ingworth was missing from their line
up. A loyal bunch of soldier rooters
occupied the right field section and
did all they could TO encourage the
town boys, but. they got no response
until the eighth inning, when by herd
work these few hooters put little
pep into the outfit and snaked two
runs over the pan. ~.

The particular offenders were Ro-
gan, Cullens and Hawkins. The box
score does not register their mistakes
and listiess playing. No pitcher could
give satisfaction with such support.
The Wreckers simply assumed the
game was theirs before it began ard
made no particular effort to win it.
For seven innings Aulston held the
visitors hitless and runless, exceptfor
a clean single over second by Jansen

halls and also hit batter, so he had
trouble in several innings. Five of the
