The Apache sentinel., 1943-07-23

more than $1,000 persons, in
Guiding Rube Foster S widow
Sarah.
The score of 7 runs to | does
not tell the real story, however.
The game was splendidly played,
when one considers the strain under
which both teams were working.
True, there was some 'loose" play
| ing, but that sort of thing happens
in the upper brackets of the big
leagues. And who wants to sit
through two or more hours of per-
feet baseball
Mrs. Rube Foster pitched the
first ball to huge SOU catcher,
whose name is Leonard. Straight
to the middle of the big mitt went
the new ball, and catcher Leonard
held on to it, while Major Geenral
Edward M. Almond, Commanding
General of the 92nd Division, and
Post Commander, Colonel Edwin N.
Hardy looked on with unanimous
approval of Mrs. Fosters pitching
skill
$1,000 persons cheered the pitch!
And then to the pitching hill went
Private first class, Walter Mccoy
from San Diego, and he turned out
to be as first class pitcher as ne
is first class private.
Catcher Leonard took his place
behind the plate and to bat went an
eager young ball player, with the
figure of a Buffalo spraWled across
the back of his shirt.
The dedication baseball game be-
tween the 92nd Division, whose field
it now was, and the unbeaten Gin
13 starts team representing the
Service Command of Fort Huachu-
ca-was on! ~
Pitcher Mccoy looked the batter
over carefully, made sure that ne
had gotten the signals straight"
from Catcher Leonard-and let lily.
The umpire bawled strike!
Down the '1ane" came the second
ball from McCoy's right hand, and
a moment later the runner was on
his sad way to the dugout. 1t was
an out at first.
Up stepped a player whose name
is higgins, and with the count OF
3 balls and 2 strikes, he belted a
fine two Dagger to deep center.
The next batter flied out. 1t was
two outs.
And when the baSerunner-Rlg-
gins, was tagged out, as he tried
to scramble back OF third, after
overr11nnine the bag, the side had
been retired.
Ware Gets Underway
lanky young man whose name
is Ware took the mound for TIT
92nd and he looked like a million
for a time. He threw the frs
SCUer out at first, struck out th
next SOU batter, and threw out
at first, the third batter. He ha'
lightning speed and he put all hi
weight into the pitch. He looke'
good, really good!
But he didn't last!
He got batted out of the box il
the fifth inning, after pitcher NC
Gov. who hits them a mile, o.
strikes out, homered one to deer
center and First Baseman Turner
had hit a circuit wallop, to starr
the fifth inning.
The count was 7 runs to none
when Ware left the hill and vet
eran left handler named Sanders
came in to pitch to the confident
SOU batters.
Saunders, diminutive southpaw
who looks like a pocket edition OF
full-Sized ball player Che remind
ed me of Dickey Kerr) went in
there and by using his head; calling
on two decades of experience, sand
wiehed with some real high class
'curving'' and round house float
ing" managed to finish the game
without being scored on.
The 92nd Scores
The 92nd Divisions lone tally
came in the eighth inning, when
with two runners on the bases, Nc
Coy took a grounder on the first
bounce and then proceeded to "roll, .
sort of, the ball toward the general
! direction of First BaSeman Turner
