SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, May Is.
Practically the entire 4th Cavalry
was present at the Cashier bali dia-
mond yesterday afternoon to witness
the final contest for the 4th Cavalry
baseball championship. In less than
a minute after the termination OF the
game a motorcycle speed maniac was
on his way to the B Troop barracks
more than two miles away, to obtain
the regimental pennant, beautiful
banner in blue and gold The big
glass case in the b Troop library was
opened and the banner transferred in
fifty to E Troop, where it was re-
ceived with joyful demonstration. K
Troop also gets very handsome sill
yer shield as permanent trophy.
e Troop defeated Il in the second
game of a twc-out-of-three series, by
score of 5 to l.. These two teams
were tied for first place in the regu-
lar intertroop series, and in playing
off the tie f Troop carried home the
bacon. -... ~.....~.
Deserve Victory.
The victory is well-deserved, for no
team in the cavalry. regiment has
worked as hard as E, or played as con-
sistent game 1t is also true that
E Troop can brag of more good ball
players than many of the other organ
izations. =.
Luck broke with e Troop yesterday,
while the Gs were pursued by misfor-
tune from the start. However. in the
first game of the special series 1t
was the other way around, but E
Troop won. out in spite of many mis-
fortunes. 49,. - Il"
Whenever G Troop made an error
yesterday it was costly, while those
made by the e Troop team all occur
red at times when they could do, but
little damage Dolliyer pitched one
of the best games of his baseball ca
reer, and 1t was not through any fault
of his that the game was lost. He
allowed but five scattered hits and
only one earned run.
Double Play. Here. .=...
f Gotten was on: the mound for E
Troop and Wed with Dolliyer for the
pitching honors of the day. He was
little wild at times, but in the pinch
es had full control of both his head
and the ball In the. seventh, with
the bases full and one out. Gotten
gathered in a drive with his gloyed
hand that was no easy feat With
cool judgment he turned the play into
a double and pulled himself and his
team out of hole that bid fair to
change the aspect of the game.
Working with Gotten behind the bat
was Lieut.. Lehman, who was on the
job at all times, and off after every
foul like flash One high ball drop
ped behind the backstop, which is the
regulation 80 feet from the plate. Lob
man was behind the backstop, too, and
gathered in the sphere in its down
gathered in the sphere in its descent.
Roach played great game for E
Troop at third and at the bat. He
scored three out of the five runs, hit
safely three out of four times up and
made four putouts and two assists.
Both teams were on their toes and
played the game in the record time of
hour and Is minutes.
