Touching The Bases. The baseball game between the Nathan Hale school nine and the Smalley school team will apparently never be finished due to the fact that so many arguments crop up during the innings that the players refuse to kcep on. A second in- | stance of the fight being waged be- | tween these two teams was hiad last night in a contest staged to decide | supremacy of the nines. he entire difficulty seems to he the fact that when the teams get to- gether, they are unable to secure an umpire to decide momentous ques- tions and when the gagmes are play- od, it seems that some Smalley school player does not touch one of the bascs in the course of his trip Only a short time ago, thesc two came to death grips and with the Nathan Hale school nine leading, one of the Smal- ley men got a home run with men on and he circled the bases. The | Nathan Hale school team claimed that the runner did not touch first hase and he was therefore out. No decision was rendered in the news- | paper offices regarding this game other than that the teams should | not play without an umpire, Last night in the fourth inning, | the same argument cropped up again. One of the Smalley school | players got a hit and he did not, ac- | cording to the Nathan Hale school team members, touch second base. | They declared he was out, the Smal- school players and he Was safe. | There was no umpire, so right then | and there, the game broke up. These | two teams should get together, get a rope, lassoo an umpire, tie him to | the diamond and then go on and play their game. ey The Navy bascball team defeated | {he Army team at West Point by the score of 13 to 7 yesterday in a loosely played game.
