diSpOS1ng OF the lHIdHlAy HliiS sun
day afternoon in regular nine in
ming game at the Tenth street park
the final score being 16 to 2. At no
time after the first inning did the
company team threaten to overcome
the lead that the Blues had piled up,
and with each inning the lead
strengthened.
The infantry team scored two runs
in the first frame on homer and q
single but failed to cross the rubber
again during the game. Zip" Lee,
hurled six innings and had the army
batsmen helpless when hits meant
runs, while Lefty Williams, famous
ex-White Sox slab artist, hurled the
last three innings and runners failed
to reach second base. Both pitchers
worked easily, practicing on control
and a fast breaking curve
The infantry moundsmen, four in
number, failed to check the batting
rampage of the Blues and when they
did not issue free passes, were hit
saNagely for clean hits. Mckenzie
He'd the team in hitting, making
three hits, one homer Manager
Buck Weaver hit safely twice and
Jackson is credited with two hits.
All the other members of the team
hit safely at least once The army
team was held to five hits, Turner
making two hits and Sellers, White
and Riley contributing the others.
The outstanding feature of the
game from the fielding standpoint
was the brilliant work of Pep
Lee at second. He nabbed two flies
that looked good for hits and both
were made while running at break
neck speed He also handled all
the other chances that Rkme his
way.
The Blues infield looked good and
in another week will be going at
top speed. Herhstreith at the shot
corner made all but one chance good,
and had the ball at first to get the
a bad hop and slipped by him early
in the game. The outfield of both
teams has a little trouble judging
ground balls as they would strike
small pebbles and bound wickedly.
