FORT SKATER, May 1S.-The
double-header as scheduled came off
in fine shape yesterday at the fort
and although the first game which
was fought out by Companies K and
| L was nick and tuck from start to
finish, winding UP with final victory
! for. l. Company to the song Of 8 to 8,
| the second game gave the Engineers
scarcely a practise game, as they
showed the Signal Corps boys under
and made runs at will, finally taking
the game with a Is to victory.
| Hit Wins Game. .... ii
The game between Companies K
! and Il was by far more interesting
| and until the last minute when Pitch
er Luther for L Company let go one
| of his noted swats and knocked one
! of Simmons :nshots on Damon's
/ island, at least it. looked as if it went
there to the K Company crowd. IN
Ill the fifth inning all went we'll with
X Company and they had it all their
own way, but then the L Company
boys got wise to the crafty Simmons
balls and by succession of good hits
and good base running made a total
of six runs, making the score to 6
| in favor of l. Company. Enthusiasm
knew no limit in the K Company
| bleechers when in the seventh inning
K Company came back strong and
| brought in two runs, thus making
| tie. . -. :.. 81 -. ...--s.
Their JOY was shortliyed, however,
as Luther showed them his little trick
| in the eighth inning, scoring the win
ming run. The game was a good sharp
one and each team put the very best
| It could into it for they have been
| good-natured rivals for many day,
and K Company is only waiting for
the comeback game. ~. -=.-..
Good Battery Work. -.
Luther starred throughout both in
the box and also at the bat, for l.
Company, but Ostendorf ran him a
close second for honors as his work
| as catcher made more than one K
Company man sick when they tried
| to take liberties on bases. ~.
Simmons for X Company showed
| that he had the real material and
pitched as good game as Luther but
was not given quite as good support
by his team. Sweeny for L and lack
ris for K, should be given credit for
good headwork. ....
This Was Fun. ....-.
The second game of the double-head-
er was 2 walk-away for the Engineers,
and they piled runs at will for the
Signal Corps was what one would
call real cinch. Rasor was in the
box for the Signal Corps and was hit
| whenever the Engineers wanted 10.
However, had he been given any sup
port at all he would have pulled out
with more credit to his team. That
| the Engineer bunch will give good
| account of themselves at the finals
was demonstrated beyond doubt for
they were there with the goods both
| in batting and headwork and if they
| continue to progress they Will be
| strong at the finish and cause some
| trouble to the ambitious ones. Will
liams as pitcher for the Engineers
| played first-claSs ball and allowed but
one hit. Hoge was given a chance
later to try out his strength and like
| wise gave but one hit. He too showed
some classy work. Stockwel showed
his worth by making four runs and
/ three hits. Many more of this good
| teams men could be mentioned for
| classy work but we will let it go by
| saying that their weak spot, if they
| had one, was not shown at any time
| and although their battery was excel.
| lent yet it must be said, too, that they
| were given the best support from the
| entire team.
From the BIeachers. III.
| They should call the Rays, the
| Sylvans. There is Per Simmons,
Woods and Bowers in the lineup.
Izykwasky is not a typographical
error He was in the melee yesterday
and contributed one run to the cause.
| Luther's drive in the last inning
would nave been a homer had it not
scored the winning run.
The Signal Corps did heap of
-wagging yesterday and as boot
ers cannot be excelled. Ten misplays
are marked against them.
Rasor needed little honing in the
first two innings, according to one
! fan in the stands.
Williams had them waving at them
yesterday afternoon and after he had
sent a number back to the pail of
aqua decided to go to the outer works.
