SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, April 9.
! The play in the 1st infantry Regimpnt-
| al League is rapidly drawing to
| close. and as there are only a few
mere games for each team to llay a
| fairly accurate forecast of the finish
! can b" made. At present NJ Company
! leads with 10 victories and only two
defeats, and as they have only two
more games to play and these are
with teams which they should defeat,
the leag1;e championship will probably
so to Company NJ. They have been
playing a consistent game throughout
| the season. and by giving Company F
severe drubbing last week climbed
into first place. F Company has led
the league until the last 10 days when
two successive defeats, one a Thinning
affair with e Company. and4the other
their beating at the hands of NJ. has
relegated them to second place, and
as they lose their Ihainstay when the
great York goes to the states on the
transport next week it is barely pos
sble that A Company. which is now
in third place, may nose them out of
| second place.
AS it stands now A and l. are tied
for third place and each has two
games to play The league should end
with NJ Company in first place and
hOnOrS about even for F, A, J., or pos
sibly X, to finish in second, third,
fourth and fifth. All. through the
league II Company and the team from
the Machine Gun Company have been
fighting for the cellar position. with
III Company in that position at pres
ent~~This is the first year that the
Machine Gun Company has entered
team in the ~regimental series, and
! while their work7~has not been
fraught with much success as far as
standing high in the league is con-
cerned, they lave gained great
amount of experience, and it is a safe
prediction that next year will find
them active contenders for first place.
On Saturday E Company put a
slight crimp in the aspirations of K to
finish one or two by defeating them
to 5 in a we'll played game. E Com
pany is second division team. but it
played championship ball yesterday,
and as result X Company will have
to do some fancy work and be aided
by some disaster overtaking the Lead
stand today-ffth. Ross of X and
Carr of E we're the shining lights Of
the game in batting. Each of these
men hit $50, getting three safe hits
out of four times at the bat. The bat
ting of Jones and Cuse of E aided
their team materially in having the
long end of the score. Jones got two
in three times at bat, and Cuse made
two in tour times. Each of these play
ers made two runs.

Ine game today was a we'll played
one, and there was all kinds of eX-
citement and enthusiasm, although
the result had no effect on the stand
ing OF the league leaders. The two
teams played as though they were
struggling for first place instead OF
being at the bottom of the list. Crooks
