Army-City League Notes

Ilrsr long hit Of the game was made
by Fritz BEDFORD and il seemed as If
II would 90 over the bulwark The
sky proved a little 600 clear for cor
rect Judgment however, and IL struck
the fence within a few feet of the
barbed wire. Howard retrieved It
and shot the sphere to second in an
attempt to catch big Fritz at the mid
way rest
The SIND artillery team showed
big Improvement In the second
game the GunnerH making n fea-
ture Of fast teamwork. One Of
the most impressive things about
the conduct OF the SIND team In
the field is that il obeys orders
both individually and collectively
and when batsmen are told 10
chit IL out' or @lay IL down. they
obey TO the best OF their ability.
The 4SO5 players seemed unable TO
get started until the final inning and
then II was too late 10 do any mate
rial advantage Some nice hits were
pounded out but they counted for lit
Tie when Hyland frightened and struck
out two men in succession. Loya. one
OF the most dependable men Of the
auto club was an easy out for the
final one Of the inning also. Hyland
was in splendid form and did not al
OF nits until the seventh session.
There Is going 10 be a big
crowd out Saturday L1ternoon for
the ZOne-En gineer game. The
game was originally scheduled TO
be held between the Engineer and
the 1905 team but rs manager
COrderO stated that many of his
players were employed downtown
and could not get off for the SAT-
urday game and Mai. J. II. COnlin
stated that his club had no Objee-
ton TO filling the late the sehed-
ule was transposed. In the first
Sunday pastime the 1905 will
clash with the Engineers.
"Blocky" Fuller has lost several
letters off the back of his uniform
shirt and the printing across the
broad shoulders Of the Dodger fielder
reads Eat Sally"
Maj. Conlin is anticipating a switch
in his lineup Saturday when Bunson
and Hunter report to the team. Bun
son is a dandy fielder but has fallen
down lately on his hitting while Hun
ter is a good fielder and hitter. The
two men should add a great deal Of
strength to the team Mccormick
played a nice game at first base last
Sunday for the Zone.
Army and City league managers are
beginning TO consider a Labor day
program and as there is a double
header scheduled for the afternoon Of
this holiday a parade through the
downtown streets is being planned
prior to the contests.
One Of the reEinienfaI bands at
Fl. Bliss will be asked TO make
the trip to Rio Grande park and
furnish music for the occasion
and as the SIND artillery, and
Fifth and Seventh cavalry reSi-
ments are all equipped with bands
IL is thought that this can be nc
eOmplished without difficulty.
The absence OF the SIND band last
Sunday was due TO the fact that
II WINS scheduled for both an uf-
ternoon and evening concert at
TT. Bliss.
Patterson showed up exceptionally
well at second base for the Zone Sup
ply Sunday, handling four putouts
caught a good game for the Supply
team. He is one catcher who IS able
to hold Johnny Mulcahy and makes a
asset TO the club as a
whole.
The work Of Mesa, the sturdy right
handler Of the 4SO5 team, in stepping
into the breach made by the hard hit
ting Of the Gunners off Gomez in the
second game was excellent and II was
certainly all that could be expected /
of any pitcher. Called from right !
lied he kept down the opposition and |
allowed but one hit in five innings. 1
Mesa is a steady. reliable man who /
an be depended upon.
