 FROM SOLDIERS

\ &kVNA OVAD4A hD
 Yesterdays ball game between Cor dova and the soldier team from Fort Liscum was one of the best and most exciting contests ever played on the local diamond, Cordova winning out in the tenth inning with a grand rally. A good sized crowd turned out, and despite the fact that the entire game was played in a drizzling rain, the = fans kept warm through the excite ! ment of the close contest. The game really was won by the locals in the seventh inning, for in that inning, with two out and runners on third and sec ond, Fredrickson smashed nice sin gle to right field. Both runners to stretch his single for two bases and was put out at the second sack. A wrangle occurred as to whether Mor- ris, who had been on second, reached the plate before Frederickson was called out Many of the fans and all the Cordova players thought Morris was safe home by long odds before the out at second, but the umpires ruled otherwise, and only one run was at-'em, however, and brought home the bacon in the tenth inning.
 The visitors got off in the lead in the first inning, when Hutchinson, first man up, singled to center and then sstole second on the first ball pitched to Cover. Hutchinson went to third on Covers out, Chambers to Gilbert Baker then hit another grounder to Chambers, who fumbled the ball just threw Baker out at first. Murphy sent a high one to Watson and ended the inning.
 In the third, Hutchinson again led off with a single to left, and took sec Ond when Taylor booted Covers grounder Peterson bobbled Bakers Afast one and the ball rolled to center field. Fredrickson threw to Taylor, who missed the ball, and both Hutchi- son and Cover scored.
 Despite the poor support at the start of the game, Chambers pitched a grand game and after the third held the soldier visitors scoreIess. No more did the home team waver their defensive work during the rest of the game being everything that it should sbe. And their offensive work was equally as good With a three-run lead against them, they kept up an attack that brought in tally each in the third, fifth and seventh innings, tieing the score in the latter, then won out in the tenth.
 o. M. Sergt Allen, the veteran "old fox' of the visitors, pitched a nice game for five innings, but in the lat ctr inning allowed a double and sin
 
 Cherry went to the mound in the sixth. The lieutenant showed his ability to twirl by striking out the first three men that faced him, and during the balance of the game sent seven more local batters back by the Whiff route. He passed the first man up in the seventh, however, and allowed two hits, letting in one run, which tied the score. He weakened again in the tenth Chambers opened the inning with a single to right and went to sec ond when Hutchison booted Fredrick- sons grounder. Matson fouled out and Peterson struck out, and it looked like curtains for the inning, especially with two strikes on Koch, the next man up. But Koch was not to be downed He spikes, and when Lieutenant Cherry whizzed the next one over, Koch smashed out a long drive to center that was good for two bases if neces- sary, but one was enough, for the hit sent Chambers across the plate with the winning run.
