COMMERCIAL LEAGUE CHAMPION
SHIP STRUGGLE BEGINS.
Star Store and POstoffice Employees
Are NictoriOus-ScOres.
Com merciaI League.

The championship season Of the CONNER
cial Baseball League, composed of teams
from some of the leading business houses
in the city, launched yesterday. The
games were played in the morning, and the
sun was hot to those who have the pleasure
OF only one days outing week The play
ers entered into the sport, however, with
a vim, and nearly all of them went through
the contests without the slightest whim-
per. Rivalry between the various teams
was born when the league was first pro-
posed, and the players entered into the
sport with the determination to carry the
colors Of the firm under whose name they
play to victory if they could. OF course
only four teams were successful, and the
winners in nearly every game captured the
contests by decisive scores. The outcome
OF the games yesterday. however, does not
necessarily show that the teams that lost
will not be in the championship race. Some
had more practice than others and were
better able to go the nine-inning distance,
while a few played in hard luck. The Peo-
pies Quitting Company team took the
game from the WATSON team. The Kahn
Tailoring Company team experienced little
difficulty in giving the shoe statesmen from
Marotts a tight shoe to wear. The Star
store gave Blocks a free-silVer dose OF 10
TO l. while the postoffice employees cap
tured the game with the Ayres team.

seventh a two-base hit and a single al

sixth inning, Miller succeeded in keeping

MITCHELL WAS EFFECTIVE.


The game between the Star Store team
and the team from Blocks played on the
diamond at the Driving Club Park was one
sided but very interesting. The work OF
Oliver, the second baseman of the Star
Store team, was very brilliant Out OF
fifteen chances he accepted fourteen. His
batting was also a feature, making four
hits two of which were for extra bases
The fielding of the Star Store team was
very fast, while the work in the field of the
Block team was erratic at times Their
errors were very costly. as the Stars
punched hits with misplays and ran the
score up 10 sixteen. Mitchell pitched a
good game for the Star Store and with
good support. the Block team was BANKED
in every inning until the NINTH when one
run crossed the plate. But seven hits were
made off Mitchell. Score:

The Kahn Tailoring Company team and
the Marott team played their opening game
at Forest Park on field that was extreme
ly rough. The owner of the park did not
have time to put the grounds in good con-
dition. but promised that they will be
smooth by next Sunday. After Juggling
over the ruts for seven innings the game
was ended by mutual consent, the Kahn
team having scored a dozen runs in the
seventh, placing them far in the lead
that the Marotts had no chance of over
taking them. The rough field was largely
responsible for the big score and the large
number of long hits and abundance of
errors.
The Kahn team had all the best of the
argument throughout the contest, batting

keeping the Marotts hits well scattered
