at all stages of the game, the ciIe
hits registered off his slants being
scattered In various innings of the
game, with the exception Of The fourth
frame, when the horse artillery
punched three bingles for two mark

did the LIST Artillery threaten.
In addition to his masterful pitch

home run, but neglected to dent the

In the second game between the

the Artillery Brigade the intantrymen
had no opportunity Of warming up be-
fore the game, and as q result the
gunners pounced upon Mashaw In the
initial frame and Tailed twice. They

yanked Mashaw at this stage and sent
Brinza to the mound. Brinza walked
two men before he could loca te the
rubber, forcing in one tally, while
Holcomb's error counted another.
Things looked bad for Brinza, but
the twirler settled down and after
the third frame not another redleg

good game for the artillery, especially
