WON BY THE ENGRAVERs.
Treasury Players Probably Know
Business Better Than Ball.

After six innings of ball playing of the
yellowest kind the game between the rep
resentatives of the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing and the team from the
Treasury was called on account of dark
ness yesterday. The score thenrstood Il
to in favor of the former. with bright
prospects of their getting many more
IN the remaining three, innings. Mr..
Cages men put up about as poor an ar
ticle of ball tossing as could be seen and
their opponents played all around them
from the beginning of the first inning un
TIL the umpire called quits.
The men from Uncle Sam's S money stor-
age house started out well and punched
their hits and got three men across the
plate before they were retired. They had
shown what they could do in the batting
line, so when they went to the tall grass
it was up to them to show what they
could do in the line of chasing the grass
cutters and hauling down the sky
scrapers. When put to this test they
showed thepselves in another light. The
Bureauites thought that their oppo-
nents had set the pace, which was a hot
one, they could do no more than to keep
up with it. So musing. they began TO
swat the horsehide to every quarter of
".
to take their positions in the field they
had scored four times many runs. save
one, as their opponents had.
The playing was about even in the sec
ond inning both sides being retired in
one-two-three order. In the third the
men from the vaults cheered up and
boosted their score two notches. After
this they did no more boosting, except in
the error column. The copper plate art
lists also got one trip around the four-bag
circuit and had a round dozen chalked
up 30 their credit The fourth inning was
a repetition OF the second, neither side
getting man on the initial sack The
printers succeeded in getting two more of
their number across the plate in the
fifth, while Mr.. Cages men tried without
success to locate the sphere after a wild
throw TO third cushion.
The Fourteenth Street men loosened
the cover on the spheroid I'm the sixth
and received for their labors three tallies
across the home plate.
The Treasury men came to the bat in
the seventh feeling blue. They had the
will to connect with the sphere, but try
as they might they could not find the
way Unable to get man past second
base, they returned to the field once more.
Their opponents started to take their
seventh rap at the horSehide. but the
umpire who is not paid for working over
time, called the game on account OF dark
ness.
The game scheduled to be played this
evening at Chesapeake Beach will not be
played there. owing to the inability of the
officials of the road to have the grounds
finished in time The game Will be played
at the National Ball Park as usual
