The Volunteers opened the engage
pent with a gallant charge lea oy
Angel Aragon, the daring CUBAN IN
turrecto. lie sent bunt INTO s n
tegic position, just out OF reach OF -,
vate Wallie Pipp, assigned TO pichet
du+v at the first bag. Before private
Pipp could maneuvre his dogs INTO po-
sition the daring Cuban insurrecto was
safe. c:. ,.oI,,,,
Everett Bankston. the Georgia volun,
+eer. was beaned by wild hunK OF
shrapnel which was shot over by Ihe
bonbardier Cullop. Then Private 10
seph Gedeon swung into position 10
wait until he saw the whites OF lhe
enerv's ewes. He bounced hit on
Cullop's mitt and the ball richochetted
into right field for a double. Aragon
spurred up as though carrying pocS,,
etful Of messages 10 Garcia, ana
crossed the plate before the cavalry
stationed in the field By the Regulars
could get to the rescue. -
In the third inning Private Nuna-
maker. assigned to Cossack outpost
duty at the bag, was leader OF the
charge. He scored a perfect hit TO the
left field. and advanced to third IN good
order on two outs. At this juncture
something went wrong with the de
fences Of Lance Corporal Walters IN
tbe supports behind the bat for the Reg
ulars. lie let heave from Rookie
Ferguson slip through his fingers, and
Private Nunamaker charged home.
Regulars Demoralized
The Regulars by this time were pref
~ well demoralized, and IT began 10
look as though they would be com
pletely routed. They we're willing un-
der fire. and their morale. as General
Kelly put it, was completely on the
blink
Despite the carnage that ragged about
him, General William Donovan lowered
about the coaching line with some OF
that confidence which was displayed By
the late StOnewall Jackson. lie raj
lied the routed Regulars IN the thlrd
inning.
Shocker made the tactical blunder OF
passing Lance Corporal Walters. Of the
Regulars. Under a sharp fire Shocker
wilted still further. and Juggled sac
rifice hit which was shot toward him
by Ferguson. This advanced Walters
10 second. He scored when Rookie
Stark. the Bronx militiaman, was toss
ing out Maisel at first.
Caldwell Wastes Ammunition
The tactical stroke which placed the
Regulars on an equal footing with the
Volunteers at the end of the first days
battle was negotiated i'm the'hnal inning
of the engagement. Private Slim Love
the lefthanded bomb-thrower of the
Volunteers. wasted eight rounds OF
good ammunition and permitted Maisel
and Magee 10 advance at a walk.
Private Pipp was sent out OF action
after he famed twice Al the next round
of bombs. Private Maisel started on a
recommending expedition TO third, and
Magee AZ the same time started 20 ad-
vance by rushes 20 second Maiscl was
taken prisoner just before reaching the
position at third. The Volunteers
II to 10 No nrf
Just a. the Georgia sun was sinking
behind the red hills Private Baker OF
the heavy artillery. who had been en-
campcd ali winter at Trappe, Md. came
TO the front and centre for the Regu-
lars. He peeped cautiously through the
Tange-hnder, while Cullop was Smelling
bis position. Then he unmasked his
batteries. and shot one far into the
centre field Nagee leaped into the
saddle and crossed through the zone
or fire 90 the home plate with the run
that tied the score tucked safely in
his hayersack
One Of the spectacular features OF
tho action was perpetrated by Private
Caldwell. the temperamental telegra-
phcr Of the Yankee Signal Corps. who
was detailed 10 patrol left field. Il
happened in the first inning. when Pri-
vate Masel. OF the Regulars. was on
third and IN d position 20 reach the
home plate. Private Pipp sent a long
range shell 10 Caldwell. who landed II
just as Maisel started for home.
Maisel Caught at Plate
The telegrapher fred The ball imme-
oiately AZ the plate with A marvellou
trajectory, all-direct FIRE and without
raising the sights. The ball shot right
into Shaw's hands, and he tagged Mai
sell, completing as pretty double
play as vas ever seen On any field.
Everett Bankston, the Volunteer
right fielder. made a throw that was
alriost az brilliant. Hcndryx, Of the
Regulars, had laced a three Dagger 70
centre and was marking time at third
knapp flied 20 Bankston, who shot the
ball 10 the plate and doubled Sergeant
Hendryx foot from the bag.
The feature Of the action was the
preparcdncss Of the pitchers. All six
Of those engaged showed remarkable
early season form.
Monroe was Particularly good with
plenty % speed and absolute control
His action is remarkably good for such
an unWieldy looking youth. Shocker
unmarked q pulling slow ball and a
splitter Slim Love bad world OF
speed and knuckle ball. with which
no had experimental during the winter
Ferguson had n good fast one. with the
we'll known hop 90 u. but not much
action. Robert McGraw. the Colorado
eollegan. had some good curves. Gull
lop is not get in shape.
The pitching Of the rockies was re-
rnArkably good, Baker and Ppp being
held down 70 bit each. Maisel and
Hendryz were present with early speed
and daring. stealing a base each. Ray
