FIRST BASEBALL GAME.
The first baseball game of the season
was played between the Band boys and
Company B nines last Saturday after
noon. The teams were evenly matched
and the game was close and exciting
throughout, Company B winning by a
score of 9 to 8.
The tooters were two scores to the
good in the last of the eighth. La
Chapelle was sending the ball for all he
was worth, and only a few scattered hits
were booked up against him. When
Charles, the first man to the bat in the
nineth inning, was returned before reach
ing the initial bag, things looked rather
gloomy for the Bs and they began to
gather their mitts and bats, and their
enthusiastic followers began to leave the
the grandstand. In themeanwhile Dar
nell, the trustworthy twister, and who
afterwards proved himself to be the
eagle-eyed lobster for the Bsmadea trip
to the plate, landing a beautiful single.
Smoker repeated the play. By this time
the "air" of the musicians had changed,
and their faces were as gloomy as an
Alaskan fog. Drum-major LaChapelle
had lost his graceful twist when Clark
came to the bat hammering the ball out
for a two-bagger. The band had reach
ed a "high pitch" by this time and Dar
nell was marching home. Harry, who
was several feet from the grandstand,
tossed the ball several feet above Teabo's
head and before he could recover it Smok
er and Clark crossed the plate. With
the Bsone run in the lead, the musicians
came to the bat for the last time and fell
easy victims to Darnell's pitching.
BATTALION NOTES.
The four Companies of the battalion
commenced drilling Tuesday morning
and did excellent work for the first time.
The companies march out of the dining
hall in double file now and it is a great
improvement over the old way of march
ing single file.
The battalion marches to the dining
hall and chapel in regulation style,
which is a much better way than each
company marching several minutes
apart, as they did before.
