SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, July l.
The post baseball park was the mec-
ca for the fans this afternoon. the 25th
and 32nd Infantry mines being billed
TO battle. and 5000 OF the faithful turn
ed out and witnessed the Wreckers
down the Infants by the onesided
score Of 8 to 3. 1t was a wild and
woody exhibition OF the national pas
time, Astounding in several instances
with strenuous kicking Of the umpiring
by the athletes representing the baby
regiment and at one time 1t appeared
as If the chief umpire, Thompson,
would forfeit the game to the Wreck
ers. Mr.. Thompson appeared very
much off today in his decisions on
balls and strikes. Rogan again ap-
peared in the lineup of the 25th Infan-
try and celebrated his return by
cracking out. two hits, one Of which
was a long home run drive out Of the
lot via center field. The game was
won by consistent hitting on the part
Of the Wreckers, that aggregation
gathering IA bingles as compared with
seven for the infants. Errors on the
part Of the 32nd Infantry fielders at
critical periods also assisted in roll
ing up the overwhelming score.
Riggs, a recently assigned recruit
to the 32nd Infantry, essayed to stop
the Wreckers and labored on the
mound for four innings. the Wreckers
gathering eight bingIes, including
three home runs while he was on the
slab. He also punctured two Of the
Wreckers in the ribs, all of which
helped in the run gathering. At that
Riggs might have escaped with less
damage if his support had not desert
ed him Due allowances must be made
for a young pitcher the first time he
faces the Wreckers. That aggregation
sure takes delight in walloping a
rockies delivery all over the lot, Ma
shaw completed the game and yielded
two runs and six hits, as we'll as
touching two funny spots in the five
Innings he performed on the hill. This
lead was too great for him to over
come. - "'fs 20.

waterhouse started the game for
the 18th Infantry and performed four
and two-thirds innings, the Infants
annexing two runs and five hits Off
his slants. He pitched himself into a
ticklish situation in the fourth inning
and was relieved by Jasper. The In
fants had two on and one down in
THE fourth when Chief tapped one to
the pitchers box, Mr. Warehouse evil
IDENTIFY was thinking of the supper bill
of fare, or something else, and tossed
the pill home for what he thought was
a forceout, permitting Chief to stroll to
second. This lapse of memory soon
settled his case for Jasper soon took
up the job of holding the Infants for
the rest of. the. game. Waterhpuse
Esh0uld fretshe receives credit for the
victory in the official averages. Also,
he helped to. cheer the rooters of the
Baby Regiment by his inside baseball.
