FORT SKATER, May 50.-Two
games were scheduled at Fort Shaft
er yesterday afternoon, Companies A
and c and and NJ being billed to en-
gage in ball games. The truth is
there was but one ball game, that be-
tween | and NJ COMPANIES, the tilt
between A and B being termed a
field day, judging from the sprints,
dashes, etc., around the runways on
the part of A Company; B Company
being merely complacent spectator,
so far Is accommodating runs was con-
cerned. The wipd-up OF this massacre
showed A Company leading TO the
tune of Is to /, and presume A Com
pany henceforth will be dubbed adher-
ents of wv. ]. B." and free silver. The
mix-up between and n Companies
was better than the box score indi-
Gates and if Company should meet
defeat at the hands of l. Company
when these teams meet Wednesday, it
will cause complications in the third
battalion, creating tie Of the four
teams 81. ...- il .. ~.

The first game scheduled was that
between A and B Companies. The
opening of this game saw Bell, the en-
inent hash artist of B Company, grac-
ing the mound with dignity. Mr.. Bell
is an excellent prototype Of the once
famous "Cy" Young OF Beantown as
far as appearance, bulk and manner
of pitching are concerned, the only
he fuya ofro
"Old Cyl could pitch, whereas Mr..
Bell apparently had nothing on the
bali but the cover, and that was about
knocked off after Company A collect
ed ten runs in the first two innings.
Mr.. Bell retired at the end of the third
round and was succeeded by Hollo-
way, who was subjected to a vicious
bombardment in the fifth, but there
after composed himself and pitched
creditaLle ball, though It is possible A
Company was tired from its exertions
on the paths the previous innings and
desired to save some runs for future
games. Both A Company pitchers
were given ragged support, which, in
measure, was responsible for some
of the runs accumulated during the
game. Braun Was gwen a try-out on
the slab for A Company and pitched
a fine game, yielding but four hits,
passing one and whiting a trio.
Brown, Harrington, and Cassell con-
tributel to the Offensive for A Com
pany, while Lambert shone for B Com
pany. ~
Bell averted possible shut-out for
his team when he reached first on a
pitchers error and advanced to third
on Damrom's single and scored on
Wilkinson's sacrifice fly to left.
The second game, between and
M companies, started out what ap-
peared to be a pitchers battle, neither
team scoring in the first inning. In
the second Nj Company scored two
when Knight hit Jones, the latter be-
ing despatched to second on sacri-
flee fly to left by Rams, and scored
when Manager Culpepper, acting in
the capacity of guardian of right field,
lifted a Texas Lacquer to right. Man.
ager and Right Fielder Culpepper
scored when Barnum dropped a one
Dagger in center. / Company did
nothing in its half of the inning,
though Schoonoyer reached first on
an error by Rains, advanced to third
on knights single, but Yokum famed,
leaving the paor stranded on the
paths. NJ Company, presumably to-
make the game safe, scored two more
in its half of the third when Minty
reached first after offering a third
strike which was bungled up by
White. Kirk then strolled to first,
both scoring when Jones slammed out
safe liner to left Company was
idle in its half of the third, not a
man reaching the initial sack. The
