With the score 14 to 3 in favor of the Aggies, the Officers staged an eight run rally in the sixth frame. Three more runs in the seventh stanza tied the battle up at 14 to 14, but the Cadets won the game in their half of the seventh when they scored three runs. • The star of the game was with out a doubt Captain Jack Kim brough, Officer first sacker. You took your life in your own hands when you even started in that di rection. Mistaking Jdie diamond for a gridiron, he exhibited some fancy blocking and tackling around the initial sack. If the umpires had not been taking bull text, he would have been penalized for holding on several occasions. Then to show his versatility, El Captain took over the pitching duties in the last two frames, and he had more balls up his sleeve thafi an old time juggler. Tony “Two-ton” Barcelona, the chubby redhead who has been try ing all season to get a hit, almost succeeded in this game. Tony blast ed a long fly to left field which should have gone for a hit, but he was cheated again. It was pretty dark and someone had hidden first base. Being without a flashlight and searching party, and with no Radar handy, the chubby one was robbed again. A return game will probably be played in the near future. All soft- ball fans in the vicinity are in vited to attend the next tilt, and are urged to bring the children. The kids will enjoy the circus.
