Both OF these companies from the
End Battalion played first-class ball
and gave the crowd many thrills.
The second game was more Of a
one-sided affair than the first and
puts the B Company team in a good
running place for the bottom Of the
list. This makes their sixth straight
defeat and G Company had little
trouble in giving them a 7-3 trouns-
ing. The game was rather slow, neith-
er team giving much star playing.

r Company was unable to score in
the first inning as Kierzek sent the
first three men up the i-2-S route and
the joy in the G Company camp knew
no bounds. G. Company continued
their good fortune when they came
to the bat and started the ball rolling
and flying. Johnson tickled Manly's

For G Company Kierzek pitched
