| The Santa Clara baseball team vas
| defeated here yesterday afternoon by
! the 18th Infantry, to 2 TIE size
of the crowd that attended the game
was somewhat smaller than had been
! expected The 25th Infantry turned
! ont in force, and filled up the bleach
! ers along the third base line; but on
! the other side of the field r'.Oting for
| the visitors was but very small eD-
! resentatiOn from the other regiments.
| The LIST Infantry baseball fAus were
conspicuous by their absence
| A Few Facts and Comments
Grafton didn't have a chance to
make one of his major league plays.
! He contributed a two-bagger and a run
however, in the second.
All four of the 18th Infantry runs
were earned, but only one of tie Santa
Clara's scores could be placed in that
category. The visitors made the first
and the last run of the game. while
the 25th made four in between.
| The Santa Claras seemed to take to
the baseball diamond that Schofiald is
SO proud of, for they played an error
less game. Incidentally they made one
more hit tan the local team. OF the
eleven Lifts made in the game ven
were for extra bases.
| The locals would not chance Water
house or Jasper in the box, but sent
in their best bet, Rogan. They nit
Rogan's speed ball in the early part
of the game, but when he chanael to
a wide curve he had the visitors prac-
tically at his mercy. He struck out
passed one, and threw wide once.
Bliss pitched his best game since
he has been on Oahu. He was in top
notch form. Any pitcher who can
hold Rogan's crew to five hits is going
some.
The game started out with a bang
for the visitors. Milburn, the first
man at the bat, hit safely to short
stop, stole second and later scored on
tONeill's triple. Their other run was
scored in the eighth. Wilson was safe
on Goliah's error, advanced to second
on GFay's sacrifice, and scored on
O'Neils double. ONeil was the base
cleaner of the visiting team. He had
chance, however, to turn the same
trick upon two other occasions at bat,
but failed to come across.
Grafton scored the 25th Infantrys
first run. 'Tks was in the second
when he started the ball rolling with
two Dagger. He took third on John
sons out and scored on Goliah's sacri-
flee fly. In the fifth Pagan hit safely
for two bases and later scored from
third on a squeeze play, one of the
few we have seen at Schofield this
season. The last two runs were made
in the seventh. Johnson started with
triple to right, and Goliah followed
with drive in almost the same place,
which was good for three sacks.
Goliah scored on Fagan's sacrifice fly.
Another error1ess feature of the
game was the 'umpiring, which was ex-
cellent in every respect. Larry Col
Inns of the 25th was behind the bat,
with Barney Donahue of the lst Field
Artillery scouting the bases.
