BY handing a wallop to the tune of
nine to nothing to the team from the
Artillery Brigade, on Saturday, the
wrecking Crew again came to the top
Of the post league and tied with the
doughty Thirty-second Infantry team
for first place.
This game was scheduled as the last
game Of the regular series, but owing
to the fact that IL resulted in the two
teams being tied for first place the ath
letic council decided to have the tie
played of in a series Of three games.
one to be played each Sunday, com.
mencing on January 81. So -. tl.s.
This will decide the championship of
the 1915 season of the post league and
will also determine whether the hand
some silver cup, the trophy of the
championship, shall go TO the husky
Wrecking Crew of the Twenty fifth In.
fantry or to the valiant eontenders
from the baby regiment at Cashier.
Incidentally, If the Twenty.ffth win
the cup it win be their fourth consecu.
tive championship trophy, as they now
are in possession Of the cups for 1918,
1914 and 1915. aa.l. s.,IaS ~.
Stick Work Feature OF the Game
The feature of the game was the
stick work of Swiuton, Rogan, johnson
and Moore, although every man but
one of the Wrecking Crew found the
Artillery hurlers for at least one hit.
Likewise, on the defensive, the playing
Of the Wrecking Crew was the working
Of a well.oiled piece Of machinery.

error. =" ".E.,
The cannoniers were equally distin.
guished in their batting and in the or.
ror column on account of their con
trast TO the Twenty.ffth. Only two
men, Kearns and Montgomery, were
able to find Jasper for safeties, while
but four out of the ten players were
able to keep out of the error column.
Until the seventh inning not a man
Of the Artillery team was able to reach
FIRST base, but in this frame Kearns
and Montgomery each made clean sin.
giles, and Miller laid one down to sec.

sack and advanced Kearns to third.
This was the only time the Artillery.
men threatened to score, but their
hopes were soon ended by neat
double-play when Moore few out to

Rogan Draws Home Run
The nine tallies of the Twenty. fifth
were brought in by Smith and Swim.
ton, who scored one each; Rogan and
johnson, who are credited with two
each; and by Hawkins, who lugged
home three large slabs Of bacon. .
Rogan, in the fifth frame, saw the
second ball pitched to be to his liking,
and murmuring, "Hello, Baby" he
leaned against il so hard that il went
over Fouquette's head in left to the
grass terrace at the edge of the field
while Rogan gave an exhibition gallop
Of the circuit of the diamond and was
safe at the plate before the ball was
back in the infeId.
Z. In the next frame johnson al
most duplicated Rogan's performance
when he slammed one into right center
between Michalek and Burnett. John,
son evidently saw that these two play
ers had been having too easy a time,
so he decided to give them some exer.
else.
Race Horses At 1t
The fourth ball pitched Just suited
him, so, with a mighty swing, he bent
the bat around il and sent it fairly be.
tween them. They saw it coming and
both started back after it. II was as
good as horse race. First Michalek
would lead by length and then Bur
nett would be ahead, but Michalek
finally nosed him out at the wire and
got the ball and relayed it to the in
field in time to hold johnson at third.
The game, resulting as it did, pleased
most of the fans, except, naturally, the
Thirty second, who were voeiferously
roofing for the Artillerymen. II
means that at least two and probably
three more erackerjack games will be
played, and to Schofeld Barracks base
ball is as the breath of life. ..r.,
