Soldiers Take Ball Game by 8 to
3 on Timely Hitting and
Fielding Error.
l-'orl Liscum 8, Valdez 3.
Fori Liscum defeated Valdez
in the ball game yesterday for
various reasons, one of which
was the soldiers played better.
The other reasons are omitted
to avoid cramping 'Space needed
for the Mexicans, Balkans, suf
fragete's and other popular war
riors.
Fielding errors oy Valdez and
one doubtful decision by Umpire
Boche at least doubled the Lis
cum tally marks and let the sol
diers run away with a game that
ought to have been nip and tuck
on the pitching and batting.
Tuck might have got the game,
but they wouldn’t have tuck it so
easily if several chances to nip
them hadn’t been tbrovyn away.
Did you get that? i
Valdez started like a race horse
but finished like a horse’s fly
brush. Young Hermann reached
second base by a fortuitous com
bination of happy contingencies
and while he. danced and glanced
longingly toward third A1 Sullivan
reeled off enough fouls to tally
two strikes. Then, disregarding
llie admonitions of the soldier
rooters to strike out, Al. prodded
the ball on the solar plexus and
pushed it past the infield, while
Hermann chased himself home so
fast that he left his breath be
hind about half way in from third
sack, |
Pitches Them Right.
The Mam Kid was pitching for
Valdez and he struck out the first
soldiers that showed up in the
batting order so easily that he
eould shut his eyes and see Han
son in the 'select gallery of no
hit pitchers. The second and
third innings slipped by as un
eventfully as a San Domingan
revolution except that Catcher
Sheets, of the soldier band, made
a star catch of a foul fly Mp
against, the grand stand. Both
Miller and Hanson were shoving
the leather where the balte'rs
couldn’t pole it safely.
If llonus Wagner Bishop had
n't bet Sid with a soldier at the
beginning of the fourth round all
might have gone well. It was
looking good along about that
lime. Maykin got a base on balls
and Bill Hopper made a safe hit,
lint the rest of the gang fell down
and another single n showed up
on Hie score board. i
Trouble Starts Here.
Then the tragedy began. The
soldiers got two runners around
the circuit on slow fielding and
an error by Bush. II might have
been worse it Amundsen hadn’t
pegged a larcenous soldier at
| second with a Jimmy Archer
throw. Somebody threw away the
rabbit’s foot about the bame
time. Valdez couldn’t do any
business with the stick in the
fifth and early in Liscum’s half
Sheets poled the pill into the
middle of the next county, mov
ing to second while the Valdez
gardeners ran it down. Sham
baugli followed with a single and
Sheets came home. Then the
next soldier slabbed the horse
hide, and was called safe on a
dose decision. First Baseman
liaykin caught the ball before the
runner toed the sack, but the um
pire and half the folks thought
Daykin’s foot was off the base.
The other half of the popula
tion are still arguing that the
man was out hut as the umpire
let him stick he remained on the
track. Sonic more wild plays in

the soldier hurried by. The ball
was recovered and came after
him, but he beat it home and then
fell down so hard it hurt his
folks, but the third tally was in.
Are Killed In the Sixth.
The sixth was one, two, three
on both sides. Sullivan reached
second and tried to steal third
on a pitched ball. The batter
walloped, pushed out a long fly
that wen| near the railroad grade
hut a fool soldier in center Held
ran like a jack rabbit and would
n’t let it touch ground. Kind
friends were yelling lo Sullivan
to go hack while the hall was
sailing, but he was the homesiek
est man you ever saw and he
pedaled along merrily in t lie be
lief that a safe hit had been
made, and turned around at the
slab in time to see himself tag
ged out at second on a caught
fly.
In the seventh Daugherty start
ed thing's with a clean single and
Hanson came across with a Tex
as lelaguer and in a little bit the
hoys were roosting on second and
third bags. Then Bush got reck
less and jammed them both in
with a long single. If the soldiers
haunt snared all the Hies that
went into the outfield Valdez
might have had a chance, hut
them soldiers have got a notion
that the way to swat the fly is to
squeeze it tight in their mills.
That let Valdez out,. The sol
diers slipped in an extra run in
their half on pyor fielding by the
locals. I
Forlorn Hope Wilts,
in Ihe eighth O’Keefe fumbled
a hit by Smith and il looked like
a forlorn hope. J lay kin came
next and on a short hit was call
ed out, though it didn’t look that
way to 'some folks. The other
fellows lacked the punch and hope
looked sicker. The soldiers gath
ered two more in this spasm be
cause Ihe Valdez trollers drop
ped half Iheir fish as they tried
to fork them into the boat. Day
kill made his only mull' at lirsl
and Bush mussed up another
chance. I
In the ninth act there was on
ly one scene1, that in which hope
after a lingering illness expired.
The score was 8 lo 3 and Liscum
didn't have to work any more
with the war club.
Altogether it was a good ama
teur game, the lean streak being
the ragged iielding by jValdez.
Hanson pitched well and lidded
like a whirlwind. The Valdez
boys liiI about as hard as the
soldiers, but were not so lucky
in placing their hits, anil I hen
the soldiers -speared all Ihe high
flie's wdiile the' locals missed and
muffed a few. Miller pitched a
good game also. The score:
