The Government Printers Won From
the Army and Navy.
One of the best games of the season was
played at National Park yesterday be-
tween the Government Printing Office and
the Army and Navy teams. The score at
the end of the game stood 8 to in favor
of the former club, and although each
team is marked with six errors, the whole
game from start to finish was snappy and
well played. One of the causes of this was
Umpire Belts work. He made the teams
hustle in and out of the field, and besides
making unquestionabie decisions all the
way through, kept the game going at a
lively rate. Switzer was in fine fettle,
keeping the warriors down to seven hits,
and struck out thirteen men. Andre pitch
ed good ball also,= and both pitchers were
backed in good style. Richards of the G.

style, while Cornell, Switzer and Mont
gomery led at the bat. Buckingham and
Robinson were the only ones who could
find Switzer for more than one hit. The
