SCHOFlELD, BARRACKS, Feb. L.
Excitement was kept at high tide all
yesterday afternoon at the artillery
ball grounds, where a double-header
was staged in the field artillery series
before a large concourse of rooters,
who enjoyed a lot Of fun-making and
two baseball contests that 1t would be
hard to beat.
9 Defeats r. 49,
In the first game the two rivals for
the 1914 championship crossed bats,
and B Battery won 5 to 3. Hits
came in punches and errors came in
punches, and afforded plenty Of ex-
element. But taken all In all It was
a first class game, with lots Of good
spirit and fast playing. -. !.
FouQuette and Norris are a fast
combination in B Battery's infield,
and Suba is no SLOUGH as a pitcher.
He famed ten batters and kept the
hits pretty we'll scattered. It was q
flock of errors with one lonesome
single that gave F Battery three runs
in the fifth. .....s 49,: =,
"Old Man" Donahue came in for
good share OF glory on the F Battery
team, and 80 did Baurtnut, who was
with B Battery last year. There are
a lot of new names on F Battery's
lineup, and some Of the newcomers
look like real ball players. The
game was lost in the sixth, when
Carrico was touched up for five hits
and four errors were made behind
him. The score: @ r. H. e.

Battery c Wins.
Burnett pitched an Al game for A
Battery and held his opponents to
three small-sized hits, but ragged sup
port lost the game and c Battery was
victorious, to 2.
On the mound for C Battery was
Moore, big southpay, who Is some
times wild and erratic and at other
times a second Christy Mathewson.
This happened to be one of his best
days. With little more luck A Bat
terry might have caught up in the
ninth. ON. Sgt Wilkinson, who sup
plies A Battery with nearly every
thing except ball players. supplied
double to start the inning; Moore
made an error and Hunter laced out
another double, but the best that
could be squeezed out Of the inning
was a solitary run.
Two new men showed up well In
this game, players that may help out
when 1t comes to organizing regi.
mental team. One was Pritchard,
who plays second base for A Battery,
and the Other Is Kern, who plays at
the difficult corner for C.

A wagon-soldier is hard to please
when it comes to umpires, but Sgt.
Hollingsworth fills the bill.
One of the features of the game
was a one-handed catch of Gauthier's
foul drive by Lieut.. Beard, standing
on top of the bleachers. A gray tin

tipped over.
