SOLDIERS AGAIN DEFEATED;
SINGLES WIN FROM MATRONS
*
Before a banner crowd of fan?
who shrieked themselves into hys
terics over every clever play, both
the married ladies and the Fort
Davis aggregation bit the dust at
the Eagle hal1 last night.
The games were by all odds
the fastest that have been pulled
off for many a long day and were
replete with interesting plays
throughout. The game between
the single and married ladies was
a hummer and the way the singles
trimmed their opponents after the
latter had got off to a lead of four
to one, was good to see and made
the fans de^rious- In fact the
singles not only made up for the
thrashing they received last week
but also showed that they have
a capacity with the willow fully
equal to that of their hard hitting
married sisters. Last night they
slammed the hall all over the lot
and though the matrons were
right there themselves they had
nothing on the singles. The ma
trons were first to bat and the
way they started off set the bugs
to yapping right away, Mrs. Kit
tleson slammed one to center field
for two bags, Bertha Thompson,
who is a veritable Honus Wagner
at the bat, jammed one down to
left but Miss Lamby failed to
hold. Mrs. Kitt!eson went to
third and a moment later dove
for home on a passed ball scoring
the first run. Mrs. Thompson
also circled the bases when no one
was looking and came home when
Catcher Jones dropped a hot one
Mrs. Sharpe walked. Mrs. Shel
don tossed up an easy one to Ina
Lyle and she couldn’t have froze
onto it tighter if it had been a
box of bon bons. Mrs. Shiekls
fanned and Mrs. Zehner shot ont
right short scoring Mrs. Sharpe
Mrs. Zehner went to third. Mrs
Ayer swung wild three times but
Ilolly fumbled the last one and
the batter reached first in safety.
In. the mixup, Mrs. Zehner came
home, netting the fourth run
Mrs. Downing fanned and the
half was over. The singles did
not do much in their half although
they made one run off two hits.
Ruby Martin beat the ball to
first on the third strike and rap
idly circled the bases by a series
of weU executed steals. Ina Lyle
fanned. Lily Koch out to Thomp
son on a pop fly and Ruby came
home.
Hollie Jones then shot a hot
grounder between short and first
and stole second and third but
could not reach the home plate
as Bertha Johnson had a big hole
in her bat.
In the next round the matron^
annexed two runs off a total of
three hits by Matrons Webb,
Kittelson and Sharp.
The singles came back with one
run off hits made by Misses Lam
by and Lewis. The matrons grab
ed two more in the third, off
three hits by Zehner, Ayer and
Thompson. The singles then
got very busy and run up a total
of three as a result of hits by
Misses Martin, Lamby and Lewis
and a free passage granted to
Ina Lyle- Ruby Martin made a
hit with the crowd in this ses
sion by making a graceful three
yard slide for third, which she
reached, looking a trifle bewilder
ed but safe as a clam in its shell.
The best the matrons could do ir
the fourth was one hit, Mrs. She’
don slammed out a hot one bag
ger but the next three up fell fo*
Rowena’s slippery ones and th*
runner perished at third. The
singles were plaving like veteran®
now and two more were added
to their list in the latter half of
the fourth, Misses Martin and
Jones hit and Miss Lvle again
earned a walk. The matrons came
up for their last inning but there
was little doing. Mrs. Downing
walked and Mrs. Webb made a
safe hit but the re®t were retired
In short order with but one lonely
tal'v chalked uo at the finish.
The warmest period of the eve
n«n" then commenced for the score
stood nine to seven in favor of
the matron® and it was do die
for the girls—and they did! The
rafters rocked with the no;se and
it® a wonder the fire department
did not turn out under the im
pression that a full grown riot
was in full swing. Miss Lambv,
the first up, phot a hot one to right
field that tnade the bugs yelp
ke cayotes, Miss Rowena hit a
hard one to the gaRery rail sqoring
Miss Lamby. Then qame the
climax. Ruby Martin came up
slammed out a long one to center
made a wild plunge for second
on the front of her snow white
reefer, and made it in a driving
finish. Miss Lewis came home on
the same play, tying the score.
The crowd were by this time
standing on tiptoe, waiting for
the winning run. The next bat
ter up fanned and the next one
repeated- It was two out and Ruby
still at second. And then things
happened. Ruby suddenly shot
'or third when the ball was on
the way to the plate. The ma
tron catcher saw the move and
the piR shot for third like Ty
Cobb wras behind it. Ruby got
there first but the front of her
reefer was a sight from contact
with the dusty canvas. She
nopped to her feet and a moment
'ater shot for home in a hard race
with the ball which was also
its way almost before she started.
And the gang howled, the horns
blared and the excited fans near
ly fell out of the seats when the
ball popped into Mrs. Sheldon’s
waiting hands. And Ruby? WeU,
f you had been passing Eagie
hall about that time you would
have thought it was a bug house
—for Ruby, sliding like a veteran,
-eached the plate an instant be
'ore the ball. It was the best
‘hing of the evening and the re
sultant pandemonium showed that
Ruby had made a place for herself
in the heart of every baseball bug
n Nome.
When the excitement was over
‘he scorer chalked up ten for the
ingles below the nine of the ma
trons and the best game of many
a day was over. The singles play
ed a hard up hill game against
their married opponents, several
who have had much experience.
The largest measure of credit for
their victory is due to the only
Rubv Martin and the ready good
pitching of Rowena Lewis, who
mb' her opponents down to elev
en hits.
The game between the Fort and
All Stars was also a crackeriack
and gave the crowd more than
'heir moneys worth in fast and
desperate plaving distinguished
bv manv brilliant plays on both
sides. But the soldiers failed tc
m. ke good on their boast to
'hrash the Stars in the roomier

TIMES DENOUNCES
BRITISH IMPATIENCE
A. P. A. Service.
LONDON, March 3. — The
Times comes out with a strong
article denouncing the present;
maniestations of impatience re
garding the innetivitiesof the Brit
ish forces while the French are
battling for life along the eastern
reaches of the western brittle
front. The Times statement is evi
dentlv government inspired and isj
an effective answer to the recent
attacks on the government for
idlv waiting while the Germans
tore the French defense of Ver
dun to Payment-. I h<‘ Times
after cautioning the public to al
low the war authorities 1-0 han
die the situations concludes with
the following: “We are fretting
because the British trops are not
engaged in the fight.
We need not fret for the reason
that everything is being conduct
ed in accordance with a well at
ranged plan which i- fully con
curred in by the French author
ities. The British are acting
closely with French and Be>
gian allies and when the hour
strikes they will take their part.”
