The second game, D and A Compa-
MES, was a hard fought contest. d
Company resorted to every trick in
their repertoire to avert defeat and
threatened in the seventh, thanks to
the assistance of the umpire (today,
by the way, being the first occasion of
any complaint having been heard
against the indicator handler, the
work SO far being uniformly satisfac-
tory). ID Company, however, has won
three straight and was out to make 1t
four, and the boys wearing the gray
could hardly be blamed for going after
everything in sight, but there should
be method to it, not the tactics Of the

singled and advanced to third on
Herrington's one-base hit to center.

do nothing in its half of the first
though the first two men up reached
the initial sack-Bennett on Herring
tons error and Vickers on a drive to
center but could proceed no further
as the rext three batsmen were easy

next man up could do nothing. In

singing, but the necessary punch was

break up the game, not by ball play

dropped one few inches in front OF
