Clever Work by SD F. A.
The s2d Field artillery nine throt-
tied the thirteen" 1inx by making
this their lucky number, in their IN
itial game and victory over their
next door rivals OF the 64th infantry.
Heavy hitting and Eeetne5s on
bases characterized their playing
from the outset One Of the pretuest
specimens Of the latter quality was
staged in the fifth inning OF the
opening game. when Anderson, an
nexing q harmless looking single,
suddenly awakened fans and oppc-
nents alike by pilfering the keystone
and three-quarters bags and spurred
on his comrades, Nearing and Jooe,
10 back him Up with another single
and a base clearing two Dagger. Gil
ray and lobe also outwitted the
watchfui eyes OF their foes with some
speedy bag swapping, and CritzfleLos
Digre and Gilray registered tour-oase
circuits by slamming the sphere IN
mercifully at strategic moments.

with a rush, letting down their
