Myers Shows Class
Another boy who showed consider
able class during the afternoon was
Myers of the Seventh infantry, whom
Lieut.. Bertram selected to bear the
brunt of the work of the doughboy
clan. Myers was first opposed by
Madreska, a southpaw gunner OF the
artillery but who gave way to steady
little Rhinehart in the second inning
ing the remaining six innings, and had
he started the game, it would have
doubtless been slightly more Of a con-
test, although, at that, II was great
deal better than the score would indi-
cate Briefly, the victory was won by
the ability of the Seventh to place their
hits cleanly, and all came when needed
Steele Breaks His Nose.
However, as ii was, the Seventh paid
dearly for their victory. in the form of
an injury to Steele, the fast first base
man who sustained a broken nose when
he slid into third base during the early
part Of the third inning The accident
occurred when Steele attempted to go to
third after Ehinehart had delivered the
ball to DeWing. He was caught nearly
one foot off the bag. his face striking

hurryup call was sent to the grand

Improvement was shown in the play
Of the 23rd infantry in the second
game. which was one of the closest
seen in the Army league for some time.
Had Smith been permitted to start the
game it is doubtful but that the in
fantry would have returned home win

only runs obtained by the medical men
was when Carlson was in the box or
were the result of clean bingles off his

Another thing l want impressed on
the public is that 'kickers are not to
get rebates. Directors have got to
understand eventually that there will
be no rebates as compromises to end
their complaints. The sooner they
realize the sincerity of our position in
this matter the better for all con-

see that it is done right"
Made Many Changes.
When the Twentieth street improve
ment was taken up last summer, be-
fore it reached court the board made
numerous changes in the specifica-
tions according to the requests of the
property owners. The board points to
these changes as responsible for the
project failing in court. Numerous
meetings had been held and It was tin-
ally agreed to pave with asphalt from
Seventh to Ninth avenue; boulevard
from Ninth to Eleventh avenue and
pave with asphalt; and pave with
brick from Eleventh to Eighteenth
avenue
Objections were filed in county court
and the case was dismissed when the
city abandoned the undertaking.
