SCHOFIEI.D BARRACKS. April l.
A heavy welding CT the willow won
Troop A another game yesterday aft
ernCCn. and Il Troop was defeated to
4. BOr:. was able to hold the A
Troop sluggers under control until
the fifth, when they broke loose with
bunch of hits that proved very dis
cCuraging to their opponents. Anoth'
er disbursement to the B Troop
team was an almost miraculous catch
made by Schulke of A Troop in center
field, which cut off number Of runs.
A Troop played more spirited
game and deserved to win. The B
Troop team seemed lifeless as soon
as defeat began to stare them in the
face. Many Of their errors might
have been avoided had little more
energy been displayed. Bowman in
left field let fly ball go for a hit,
which he might easily have gathered
IN =.
Deece pitched for A Troop, struck
out seven ana aiiowed no bases on
balls. Bork was in the box for B,
struck out five and gave three passes
to first Michalek of the Field Artil-
lery was umpire.
Troop G 6, Troop I. II
For newly organized team Troop
put up very good game against the
strong G Troop team on the Cashier
diamond yesterday. When their
crack pitcher, Rampant, is back in
the game the Troop team may an
mex few victories. .r@ - .-
G Troop played an almost errorless
game. The fast infield let nothing
get by and staged four very classy
double plays. Three were from Jurd
to Devery to Fleishman and one from
Devery to .Jurd to Freshman. Dolli-
yer pitched very consistent game
for G. Troop. He kept the hits well
scattered, struck out nine batters and
allowed but one free pass to first.
Provost pitched good game for l
Troop. but his support was anything
but alright. III ~.
Dolliyer created considerable merri.
ment on delayed steal to second,
catching Sgt. Cant, the Troop catch
er, off his guard. A trick which Sgt.
Beddingford pulled off at third was
highly amusing. lie coaxed a base
runner OFF the sack by feint throw
TO first and then chased the said base
runner all the way to the plate, catch
ing him just in time to cut off run.
Series For Title. -.
After considerable debate it was
finally agreed at meeting of the
company commanders yesterday noon
to settle the disputed baseball cham
pionship for 1915 by series of Is
games between the six teams that
stood highest in the series when the
games were brought to a close last
season. The teams to play are those
of A, c, E, F, / and K companies.
Each team will play one game against
all Of the other teams.
The regimental series was brought
to close last year by the commence
ment of the series for the post cham
pionship, and 45 games were left un-
played There were many who be-
lieyed that K Company should be
awarded the silver trophy for 1915, as
the team Of that company was in the
lead when the series was interrupted.
The records, however, showed that X
Company had won many of its games
from the weaker teams and had many
games with the stronger teams still
to play. =
When the season closed with only
a partially completed schedule the
standing of the teams was as follows:
