| closely fought game all the way
through, Rogan and CIompler engag
| ing in a pitchers battle In which the
| former carried off the honorS. Any
| doubts that ROgan's army had gone
! back on him were speedily dispelled
after the opening rounds as he sent
batter after batter to the dugout after
| either pUncturins Schofield ozone or
! tapping weakly to the intield. The ALI
| Stars garnered bit three hits off the
premier hurler and eight famed. Lack
of practise evidently affected his cou-
troll to an extent, as he walked three
and punctured Rice in the ribs twice.

was unfortunate in having Johnson
connect with one for the circuit with
a runner on the paths. Crumpler walk
| ed three and whitfield four. Both twtrl-
! ers were given gilt edged support b.
| their teammates. some of the plays
| bordering on the sensational, especial
ly catches by Moore, Chillingworth and

slammed the pill out of the confines
of the orchard, and a three-ply swat
| by Fagin.
A large crowd was on hand for the
game, all Of the stands being filled
lines. Senator Chillingworth, the
president of the league, attended the
game with a party of friends. From
the interest shown in today's game
there is no doubt but what the league
will enjoy a prosperous season. The
advent Of the nine of the Engineers ID
heartily welcomed at Schofield, as the
post fans for some time have been
anxious to see "Blondy" Williams and
his team in action against the Wreck
ers.
