BASEBALL BECOMING POPULAR

Encouraged In The British Army

!!い

Baseball, which is being encourag

ed as a sport in the British Army, Is fast gaining in popularity among the Services In the Colony. On Tuesday the second team at the Royal En- Kincers met Headquarters Wing of the Royal Scots, winning 20-10.

Scoring was rather inconsistent in spite of the close finish at the end of the sixth inning, when a three tally by the Suppers gave them victory by a nose.

Taylor commenced in the box for the Sappers with Boddy behind the batter, but both were yanked out in the third innings in favour of Box and Taylor, respectively. Lane and Smith were the opening battery for Royal Scots, but the farmer was sent 1 The showers in the fourth and was relieved by Phillips.

Each team pulled a double-play during the encounter. Scots' double- play occurred when Slade held a fly off Harper and then tagged Ho- warth, who failed to get back to first base in time. Suppers' double when McIlwraith play occurred

scooped up a grounder, throwing to third, Pelham putting out Morris and then throwing to Harper, at second, where Marshall was put out.

Box, Harper and Philips clouted three baggers for the Sappers. Pit- cher Lane fanned two, allowing three walk. Box was the most successful walks, while Taylor allowed three to pitcher, fanning three and allowing no walks.

Scores by innings were;

To-day's Service Game That baseball has come to slay with the Royal Engineers is altested by the fact that these rabid thusiasts are constantly arranging contests with experienced ball teams, one of which has been arranged to- day at 2 p.m., with the squad from U. S. S. Pillsbury, at Caroline Hill.

The Royal Scots have only recently taken up the American national pastime, but have been playing soll- ball for over a year. In all probabi~ lity, they will enter a tour in the Softball League this fall. Their advent into this infant in the sports realm in the Colony will not be any more of a surprise than the weak al- tempts of some of the teams that displayed their wares last season,

The Pillsbury's cuißt will take the Engineers, but the latter are out for experience, and they'll be getting plenty of it when they meet the nine from the tin can.
