THE FIRST GAME
CREATES AMUSEMENT
Yesterday's game of ball, the
first of the season, between the
team from Company H, 30th in
fantry, and the home boys, was,
as might have been expected,
quite a ragged piece of playing,
and, at Die same time, afforded
lots of amusement to the spec
tators, who were lothe to quit the
field when a cold rain began to
fall.
The score stood eight to five
in favor of the Fort boys, and
there is really no telling what the
count might have been had not
the moisture mercifully put an
i»nd to the slaughter. Most of the
runs were made on errors in
fielding ami throwing.
Company IPs boys were in bet
I-m' trim than the home team,
having had time to work out in
San Francisco before entiling here
while the Yaldez loam had their
tirst practice yesterday with four
of their strongest players out <»f
I lie city.
