FORT SI1AFTER, Oct 2.-The sec
ond and final battle between the En-
gineers and r Company. End Infantry
took place Sunday on the Fort Shat
ter athletic grounds, and the cham
pionship Of the post was cooped. chain
ed and pedestaled for another year
by the brainy section Of the u. s. A..
The crowds were there. the deepest
interest was manifested, but neither
crowds Of infantry sympathizers nor
the deepest wishes could win the vic
tory II was won by hefty stick
work, plus Williams pitching. plus
McGavin's backstopping. a clever cen
ter field Yatsko and a clean cut first
baseman
The pitching by "Blondy" Williams
for the construction gang was as re-
markable as on last Thursday and
even little better, for he struck ont
Is as against l3 last week and also
had two clean assists The clever
work of MeGavin was evident to all
the fans, as he pocketed the Is strike
outs, and never needed the assistance
Of the first sacker which is No. /
catching He scored a hit through
shortstop which later developed into
good big run, and Red" McGaSin
stole the only pilfered base on the
part of the Engineers Cain, on the
second sack, did some clever work
IN his department, robbing Kane OF
Z Company OF two skyscrapers that
came into his domains and repeating
tho process with the balloon that
Csernotta sent up in the fifth frame
Second baseman Cain also knocked
ont two clean hits. one to left meadow
land and one 10 center commons, and
both these tailed. Yatsko in the CEN
tral division OF the war department,
which means middle field, picked three
aeropianes out of the sky as they
came circling about him, and Noyes
took all that was coming to him in a
clean, gentIemanly fashion at first no
tel. The only man who really feels
blue on the Choo-choo team is the new
man, Barber, and he was not stropped
up to championship form.
The f Company aggregation, led by
Simmons on the mound. repeated the
same splendid game as of Thursday,
but the ink that was on the army
polo team wanted to see Fort Shafter.
SO he bought a ticket on the King
street limited and had to walk over
from the main post to the canton
ment. and he said those Z Company
men have 1t too easy in that civilized
post over there, so here's the ink for
theml They got it, and 1t was the
.sH. r. T. & l.. Co." not E Company
that deserved it, tool!
This is how It happened: Beeler
raped bomb TO short which Nc
Garry missed, McGavin duplicated the
same with compound interest, Cain
murdered one 20 Fogarty to left moo
moo ground, 4Stoekwell damned one
down by Duffy. and Postma varied
the performance by g. crushing tor
naio past second. and the jinx croak-
ed merrily as he listened to the foot
falls of FIVE tallies run over the plat
ter and step on the toes of the um-
pire.
Then Simmons gave up the 'veni,I
vidi, vici ideas and settled to eating
pie. and he struck out Moves, VIII
liams retired on pension from short
to second, and Yatsko died while
asleep al the ewitch, Thomas to DUFF
fey.
The teams were evenly matched in
errors, only one piece. but while
the Engineers scored IL hits OF Sim
mons. the z boys could only get seven,
and outside Of the eighth rally on the
part of the End Battalion heroes,
when three hits were stolen from the
tired hero, Williams, the record OF the
game reads '.hits widely scattered.
but applause condensed and effusiye."
The best team won ana tie cham
pionship OF the Tort Shafter post is.
in GOOD hands, and the contest was a.
clean. portmaIal.ks one from start to-
finish. and the umpires made it so to-
a large extent They are to congra !.
tulated upon their hard but unreward-
ed task. No better team than 4 Com
r,sny could have represented the
dJughboys, and the thing 10 do is to
knuckle down and get ready for 1911.
That's the spirit of "76'' for you. This.
Is the age Of preparedness. so here's
TO the victor that wins out fair and
square in the coming year. All missed
Zuber i'm the game, but he goes to
fair Japan 10 show how Uncle Sans
boys can play baseball. and while he
catches everything SO well, let US all
hope he does not catch the cholera.
All hail TO the Engineers. champions
1916.
