SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, April o.
The play in the LIST infantry Regiment
al League is rapidly drawing to a
close, and as there are only few
more games for each team to play
fairly accurate forecast OF the finish
can be 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 league championship will probably
go to Company NJ They have been
playing a consistent game throughout
the season. and by giving Company F
a 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 G Company, and the other
their beating at the hands of M, has
relegated them to second place, and
as they lose their mafnstay when the
great York goes to the states on the
transport next week 1t Is barely pos
sible 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, L, or pos
sibly K, to finish in second, third,
fourth and fifth. All through the
league II Company and the team from
tbo Mooh;na G,,n Co,,nan have haon
fighting for the cellar position, with
H Company in that position at pres
emit. This is the first year that the
Machine Gun Company has entered
team in the regimental series, and
while their work has not been
fraught with much success as far as
standing high in the league is con-
cerned, they have gained a great
amount of experience, and it is safe
prediction that next year with 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
6 to in well played game. E Com
pany is a second division team. but it
played championship ball yesterday,
and as result K Company will have
to do some fancy work and be aided
by some disaster overtaking the lead
ers, to finish any better than they
stand today-fifth Ross of K and
Carr of E were 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

their team materially in having the
long end of the score. Jones got two
in three times at bat, and Cuse made
two in four times Each of these play
ers made two runs.

me game today was well played
one, and there was all kinds of ex-
cltement 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
of l Comany led the field In the sue
cessful use of the stick, getting three
hits out OF four times at bat. in fact
it was the strong stick work of Com
pany that enabled them to score their
decisive victory over B. Every man
on the team obtained safe hit and
most of them came at times when
they were needed Company B hit
we'll, but the Company pitcher kept
them pretty well scattered, and many
of them went for naught. Johnson
not only pitched good game, but he
fielded his position we'll, making four
assists out of tour chances. =. 49,.
