. FORT SHAFTER,. May 2S.-The
baseball fans at Fort Shafter could
not see the regimsntal team play as
was looked forward to with great ex-
pectatfon, on account Of the main
part of the team being called on to
do guard duty out Of the post, so there
was q game played on Sunday morn
ing at 1890 on the main parade
ground between Companies @ and ID,
I'd Infantry. 1t was sort OF one
sided affair as the score will testify,
and Il was full Of arguments; It was
just case Of quarrel between neigh
bors, and at one time during the
game 1t was about broken up, but TOR
the able management Of the umpire,
who was able after an hour OF hard
work to pull the game through nine
innings. Amy game Of bail. Ii interest
ing at this post as there are so few
OF them, so the attendance stayed to
see and hear these neighbors settle
their fierce battle, which finally re-
suited in Company C winning the
victory. g
The score shows from the very be-
ginning which was the best of the
two teams. In the first inning Rebb
and Ross scored a home run each.
and IN, the second inning Baxter scor-
ed another home run. Company G
gave Company D aschance to show up
on the score sheet with a few runs,
but they would not or did not want
TO take advantageof Il, so in the fifth
inning Company c again started In
with Rebb, who scored a home run.
and in the sixth almost half OF the
team scored, and In the seventh Ross
and Hollerbach got home, e., -,,~;
So as not to embarrass and alto
gether discourage Company D the
board of censors VIII not allow us to
give the history of their side Of the
game by innings, }HFcepty to say that
in the fifth inning Suits got put out
on third, and in the seventh Semon
was put out on third. which was the
nearest they came TO the home plate I;
and from the appearance Of the sixth
inning this company must have been
out to- review Company I, which was
coming into the post about that time
Never mind, Company D, we know
that this was your off day and that we
will see you out soon again, and then
you will show them what you can do.
A little practise will go long way.
