l. mers, successful in a majority Of
games played during the New Mexico
invasion hoped off a RATHER just in
time to receive their second defeat
at the hands OF Mai. r. r. Neyland's
Eighth engineers Sunday afternoon at
Rio Grande park II was the second
time that the engineer team as
whole had defeated the Gunners but
&c was the first instance in which Maj
Neyland had scored the victory as he
did not play in the former games one
run and one hit in the sixth inning
after five and one-half rounds OF
scoreless ball proved sufficient for
the Engineer clan TO retain Its po--
sition at the top OF the Army and
City column, score 10
Zone Drops One.
This game in which there was un-
doubtsdly more genuine baseball
merit displayed than any contest dur
ing the past two months followed the
1905 Supply battle which was Won
by the South siders- seven 10 three
Hard luck again pursued the Zone
team as IL would have scored quite
a number OF additional runs IN the
last inning but for the fact that Dim
kins failed TO touch the second sack
Mulcahy pitched splendidly but was
unable 70 cover the whole field by
himself and errors contributed TO the
thing else The work Of Gomez was
not exceptionally brilliant but he was
steady in the pinches and that was

the attack Of the 1905 team was
naturally conferred there.
Four runs were compiled IN this
session and that proved enough TO
sew up the game. While the Zone
tried hard later there were many poor
examples Of base running and several
instances where an-incipient rally

Just what seems TO be the difficulty
with the Zone team is hard TO under

enjoyed the position OF being in the

take hold and help pull it out In

Comparing the hitting Of the two

there is such a thing as breaks and
