PosTMEN IN THIRD PLACE.
They Go TIP in Department League
Nv Reating Y'rensuryites

The nine TREASURY men representing
the baseball clement in that department
were feeling chesty yesterday. and had
rak,d together quite formidable team
to defeat the Postoffice nine, but after
FIVE innings of nip and tuck playing they
gathered in their sticks. called in their
caddy, and started home with another de
feat jotted down in their lost column.
The postmen who have beeR playing ex-
ceptionally good ball, went out to admin
lister a shut out to the coin counters, and
after the third inning they had what is
known in baseball phraseology as a cinch
of the ead-pipe variety. They wielled
the calcimine in great style, and their
opponents were walloped without setting
foot on the counting block and barely
soaring the whitening on the third
cushion.
The game was a pitchers battle all
through, and had Davis. the Treasury
slab artist, received better support. the
mailmen would not have scored all their
five runs King, who occupied the centre
of the diamond for the men from the
great stone building on Pennsylvania
Avenue, during Walkers absence, pitched
a fine game. and had the money changers
completely at his mercy. allowing but
three of them to get next to his delivery
for a base hit. His support, although
trifle ragged in one inning. was otherwise
perfect, and this. coupled with the ina
biiity of the Fifteenth Street men to swat
the leather into unguarded territory, gave
the postmen the game without any
very great effort on their part. Hits were
as scarce as hens teeth, and in the case
of the Treasuryites runs were not obtain
able under any circumstances. for try as
they might, they. could not induce any of
their number to cross the pan. Five of
them came to the plate intending to con-
meet with one of Kings drops, and assault
it for about three sacks. but the twirler
viewed the situation in an entirely differ
ent light. and proceeded to toss over three
of his speediest and most elusive ones to
those who had any such notion. The
