These two teams of the 3rd Bat
talon crossed bats yesterday, bat the
game was not as interesting as the
score would Indicate Lots of COM
edy stuff and billiard ball material
plays we're pulled, which kept the
score from being ene-s4ded. Had one
of the teams played consistent base
ball it would have won in walk.
l. Company was first to bat and
its lead-off hitter took three strikes
and then refused to run when the
catcher began doing Theda Bara stuff
with the BAH When | Company came
in for its half Of the inning its lead
off man was passed to first. He was
not going to be outdone in generosity,
so kindly allowed himself to be caught
off the sack by "a throw from the
pitcher. H..
A. and G. Stuff.
By plays of this sort the game was
Alphonsed and Gastoned for eight in
nings In the fourth inning James of
company l. singled Cross came
through with a beauty to left, and
James, who had gone to third on the
hit, turned the base, heading for home,
to draw the throw. He then ran
quickly back to third and was re-
ceived by the third-sacker with the
ball in his hand. James could not IN
derstand the pay. The was the star
bone of the day.
L Company's team is not the for
midable outfit of year ago. Take
players like Willis, Williamson and
Slaughter from a team and it leaves
big gaps. Sgt. Hollingsworth is on
the job trying out his colts and occa-
sionally goes in, as pinch hitter.
Company was minus the services
of Taylor, who is nursing an injured
hand, memento of the last game.

game for a substitute. Timberlake, |

home on every play. He only made
three of the six errors chalked up |
against his team.
